A computational model that can accurately predict splicing patterns based on genomic features and cellular context is highly desirable, both in understanding this widespread phenomenon, and in exploring the effects of genetic variations on AS.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Methods: Using a deep neural network, we developed a model inferred from mouse RNA-Seq data that can predict splicing patterns in individual tissues and differences in splicing patterns across tissues. Our architecture uses hidden variables that jointly represent features in genomic sequences and tissue types when making predictions. A graphics processing unit was used to greatly reduce the training time of our models with millions of parameters.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: We show that the deep architecture surpasses the performance of the previous Bayesian method for predicting AS patterns. With the proper optimization procedure and selection of hyperparameters, we demonstrate that deep architectures can be beneficial, even with a moderately sparse dataset. An analysis of what the model has learned in terms of the genomic features is presented.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0frey@psi.toronto.edu<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btu277","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,16]],"date-time":"2014-06-16T21:55:09Z","timestamp":1402955709000},"page":"i121-i129","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":398,"title":["Deep learning of the tissue-regulated splicing code"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Michael K.
