This proof-of-concept illustrates that automated machine learning techniques can be applied to genetic data and has the potential to detect both additive and non-additive effects via various optimal solutions and feature importance metrics. In the future, we aim to expand AutoQTL to accommodate omics-level datasets with intelligent feature selection strategies.
