R-loops are three-stranded RNA and DNA hybrid structures that often occur in the genome and play important roles in a variety of cellular processes from bacteria to mammals. Sequencing methods profiling R-loops genome-wide have revealed that they can...
Identifying cell-type-specific enhancers is critical for developing genetic tools to study the mammalian brain. We organized the "Brain Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN) Challenge: Predicting Functional Cell Type-Specific Enhancers from Cross-Sp...
It is challenging to identify regulatory transcriptional regulators (TRs), which control gene expression via regulatory elements and epigenomic signals, in context-specific studies on the onset and progression of diseases. The use of large-scale mult...
Three-dimensional (3D) genome dynamics are crucial for cellular functions and disease. However, real-time, live-cell DNA visualization remains challenging, as existing methods are often confined to repetitive regions, suffer from low resolution, or r...

INTRODUCTION: Measuring the chromatin state of a tumor provides a powerful map of its epigenetic commitments; however, as these are generally bulk measurements, it has not yet been possible to connect changes in chromatin accessibility to the patholo...
BACKGROUND: Chromosomes of species exhibit a variety of high-dimensional organizational features, and chromatin loops, which are fundamental structures in the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the genome. Chromatin loops are visible speckled patter...
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 mainst...
Cell type annotation in single-cell chromatin accessibility sequencing (scATAC-seq) is crucial for enabling researchers to identify subpopulations of cells associated with specific diseases, elucidate gene regulatory networks, and discover markers in...
Deep learning models have advanced our ability to predict cell-type-specific chromatin patterns from transcription factor (TF) binding motifs, but their application to perturbed contexts remains limited. We applied transfer learning to predict how co...
Sequence-based deep learning models have emerged as powerful tools for deciphering the cis-regulatory grammar of the human genome but cannot generalize to unobserved cellular contexts. Here, we present EpiBERT, a multi-modal transformer that learns g...
