Title: Analysing gene variants for various clinical characteristics using Machine Learning

Abstract:

In the presentation I’d like to tell a story about recent research we conducted in Invicta R&D. The study was looking to see if it was possible to identify characteristic gene variants for various clinical characteristics of patients undergoing IVF treatment. During the presentation I’m going to discuss in depth the reasons behind our choices of methods, what were the differences between them, what results were expected and what did surprise us. I will share sample of code that was used, bit of theory and a lot of visuals that helped understand the
problem. Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with genetic data – it won’t be necessary to understand
the idea.
