Abstract

MOTIVATION: Identifying histone tail modifications using ChIP-seq is commonly used in time-series experiments in development and disease. These assays, however, cover specific time-points leaving intermediate or early stages with missing information. Although several machine learning methods were developed to predict histone marks, none exploited the dependence that exists in time-series experiments between data generated at specific time-points to extrapolate these findings to time-points where data cannot be generated for lack or scarcity of materials (i.e. early developmental stages).
