What is it about?
The title describes a research project focused on developing a highly advanced computer model to predict the relationship between genes and Alzheimer's disease. This model uses a cutting-edge technique called deep neural networks to analyze genetic data and understand how genes are regulated, or controlled, within the body. By examining these regulatory patterns, the model aims to identify which genes might play a role in the development or progression of Alzheimer's disease. In simpler terms, it's like creating a smart computer program that can look at our genetic information and tell us which genes might be linked to Alzheimer's, helping scientists better understand the disease and potentially develop new treatments.

Why is it important?
Alzheimer's disease is a complex neurological disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Despite extensive research, much about its underlying causes remains unclear. Identifying the genes associated with Alzheimer's could provide crucial insights into the disease's mechanisms, potentially leading to better diagnostics, treatments, and even prevention strategies.
