Abstract

BACKGROUND: Chromatin loops are critical for the three-dimensional organization of the genome and gene regulation. Accurate identification of chromatin loops is essential for understanding the regulatory mechanisms in disease. However, current mainstream detection methods rely primarily on single-source data, such as Hi-C, which limits these methods' ability to capture the diverse features of chromatin loop structures. In contrast, multi-source data integration and deep learning approaches, though not yet widely applied, hold significant potential.
