Integrative Post-GWAS Methods: Advanced Statistics, Functional Genomics, and Machine Learning

Course material and notes for the PhD course "Integrative Post-GWAS Methods: Advanced Statistics, Functional Genomics, and Machine Learning". This covers Day 3, taught by the Simon Rasmussen Group at the University of Copenhagen.

Before you start

We will be using GitHub Codespaces for the sessions today. Please follow the steps in this guide before we begin:

Day 3 - 26.08.2026

Machine Learning, PRS, and Risk Prediction

Note: the timings are a guide, and may shift a bit depending on how the sessions go.

Notebooks

Take these in order:

  1. 01_eir-fm-combined.ipynb - polygenic scores, then a pre-trained genomic foundation model applied to the PennCATH cohort to predict ~300 phenotypes (GRS; genomic representation scores) per individual.
  2. 02_eir-intro.ipynb - the EIR configuration files and the eirtrain and eirpredict commands.
  3. 03_eir-transformer.ipynb - a GPT style transformer trained on simulated EHR trajectories, and whether adding the GRS values from the first notebook as an extra input makes it any better.

Slides for each of these are under slides/.

Setup (not needed today)

You only need this if you want to run the notebooks on your own machine after the course. For the sessions today, follow the Codespaces guide linked above instead.

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
source ~/.zshrc  # or "source ~/.bashrc", reload PATH so uv is available
uv venv
uv sync
uv pip install "git+https://github.com/arnor-sigurdsson/EIR-auto-GP.git@27928f"
uv run jupyter lab

Then open e.g. the notebooks under ./notebooks
