Bin Yu, Professor of Statistics and EECS, and junior co-authors Tiffany Tang and Qianru Wang, were recently featured on The Genetics Podcast discussing their team’s work on uncovering epistatic gene-gene interactions in complex heart disease using machine learning. The conversation highlighted collaborative research with Stanford researchers that applied low-signal signed iterative random forests (lo-siRF) to identify genetic interactions associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy using UK Biobank data.
