Abstract

MOTIVATION: Understanding the rules that govern enhancer-driven transcription remains a central unsolved problem in genomics. Now with multiple massively parallel enhancer perturbation assays published, there are enough data that we can utilize to learn to predict enhancer-promoter (EP) relationships in a data-driven manner.
