There are numerous research projects in genomic and genetics. Some of them share the same gene or similar research objects. Due to the high cost of research experiments, we tried to apply transfer learning to utilize the knowledge of similar research works to help one's own research project in this paper.
Transfer learning is a widely used method in computer science, which transfer the knowledge in one mature studies to a new one. Based on deep learning method, we can find complex features by training on related data, and help our topic with the well-tuned features.
We tested the effect of transferring knowledge of white people to black people at first. Then, we would investigate whether transfer learning is helpful for mice studies with the experimental data of rats.
