SiftSeq: Classifying short DNA sequences with deep learning

Insight

In this post, I demonstrate how deep learning can be used to significantly improve upon earlier methods, with an emphasis on classifying short sequences as being human, viral, or bacterial. As I discovered, deep learning is a powerful tool for short sequence classification and is likely to be useful in many other applications as well.
