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...
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...
Drought is a critical risk factor that impacts rice growth and yields. Previous studies have focused on the regulatory roles of individual transcription factors in response to drought stress. However, there is limited understanding of multi-factor st...
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...
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...
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...

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...
Cell state atlases constructed through single-cell RNA-seq and ATAC-seq analysis are powerful tools for analyzing the effects of genetic and drug treatment-induced perturbations on complex cell systems. Comparative analysis of such atlases can yield ...
