Another good review that casts a broad net of deep learning applications. The structure of the review focuses much more on these applications than algorithm specifics.
The authors focus on genomic (e.g. NGS), transcriptomic (e.g. lncRNA expression), proteomic, structural biology/biochem, and drug repurposing as application areas. They cite one or two of the most prominent examples of deep learning applied to each subject area in each respective section. We already have issues for every example they cite.
They also have a nice, but brief, discussion about deep learning challenges - which they describe as:
They end with a limited discussion about future directions. They focus on three points:
Overall, I think it complements #47 nicely by structuring the review by genomic platform. It also discusses biomedical applications and cancer in more detail than #70
Challenge 1 (black box) could be worth discussing in the review because this point comes up a lot. Especially if @akundaje is contributing and could preview the updated DeepLIFT (#50). @cgreene could also present strategies for interpreting hidden units in autoencoders for gene expression.
