Described herein are systems and methods that receive as input a DNA or RNA sequence, extract features, and apply layers of processing units to compute one ore more condition-specific cell variables, corresponding to cellular quantities measured under different conditions. The system may be applied to a sequence containing a genetic variant, and also to a corresponding reference sequence to determine how much the condition-specific cell variables change because of the variant. The change in the condition-specific cell variables are used to compute a score for how deleterious a variant is, to classify a variant's level of deleteriousness, to prioritize variants for subsequent processing, and to compare a test variant to variants of known deleteriousness. By modifying the variant or the extracted features so as to incorporate the effects of DNA editing, oligonucleotide therapy, DNA- or RNA-binding protein therapy or other therapies, the system may be used to determine if the deleterious effects of the original variant can be reduced.
