Prediction of binding sites for transcription factors is important to understand how the latter regulate gene expression and how this regulation can be modulated for therapeutic purposes. A consistent number of references address this issue with diff...
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 le...
Characterizing the binding preferences of transcription factors (TFs) in different cell types and conditions is key to understand how they orchestrate gene expression. Here, we develop TFscope, a machine learning approach that identifies sequence fea...
Accurate prediction of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) is essential for understanding gene regulation mechanisms and the etiology of diseases. Despite numerous advances in deep learning for predicting TFBSs, their performance can still be ...
The assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq) identifies chromatin accessibility across the genome, crucial for gene expression regulating. However, bulk ATAC-seq obscures cellular heterogeneity, while single-cell ATAC-seq...
Single-cell multi-omics techniques, which enable the simultaneous measurement of multiple modalities such as RNA gene expression and Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin (ATAC) within individual cells, have become a powerful tool for decipherin...
Gene regulation is inherently multiscale, but scale-adaptive machine learning methods that fully exploit this property in single-nucleus accessibility data are still lacking. Here, we develop ChromatinHD, a pair of scale-adaptive models that uses the...
BACKGROUND: Transcription factors (TFs) regulate the genes' expression by binding to DNA sequences. Aligned TFBSs of the same TF are seen as cis-regulatory motifs, and substantial computational efforts have been invested to find motifs. In recent yea...
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...
The DNA binding of most Escherichia coli Transcription Factors (TFs) has not been comprehensively mapped, and few have models that can quantitatively predict binding affinity. We report the global mapping of in vivo DNA binding for 139 E. coli TFs us...
