Abstract

MOTIVATION: Histone modifications are epigenetic markers that impact gene expression by altering the chromatin structure or recruiting histone modifiers. Their accurate identification is key to unraveling the mechanisms by which they regulate gene expression. However, the solutions for this task can be improved by exploiting multiple relationships from dataset and exploring designs of learning models, for example jointly learning technology.
