Abstract

MOTIVATION: Efficient tapping into genomic information from a single microscopic image of an intact DNA molecule is an outstanding challenge and its solution will open new frontiers in molecular diagnostics. Here, a new computational method for optical genome mapping utilizing deep learning is presented, termed DeepOM. Utilization of a convolutional neural network, trained on simulated images of labeled DNA molecules, improves the success rate in the alignment of DNA images to genomic references.
