UNLABELLED: gkm-SVM is a sequence-based method for predicting and detecting the regulatory vocabulary encoded in functional DNA elements, and is a commonly used tool for studying gene regulatory mechanisms. Here we introduce new software, LS-GKM, whi...
BACKGROUND: Understanding the mechanisms by which transcription factors (TF) are recruited to their physiological target sites is crucial for understanding gene regulation. DNA sequence intrinsic features such as predicted binding affinity are often ...
Recognizing binding sites of DNA-binding proteins is a key factor for elucidating transcriptional regulation in organisms. ChIP-exo enables researchers to delineate genome-wide binding landscapes of DNA-binding proteins with near single base-pair res...
Identifying cis-regulatory motifs from genomic sequencing data (e.g. ChIP-seq and CLIP-seq) is crucial in identifying transcription factor (TF) binding sites and inferring gene regulatory mechanisms for any organism. Since 2015, deep learning (DL) me...
The accumulation of large epigenomics data consortiums provides us with the opportunity to extrapolate existing knowledge to new cell types and conditions. We propose Epitome, a deep neural network that learns similarities of chromatin accessibility ...
Transcription factors (TFs) are essential proteins in regulating the spatiotemporal expression of genes. It is crucial to infer the potential transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) with high resolution to promote biology and realize precision med...
Assessing the causal tissues of human complex diseases is important for the prioritization of trait-associated genetic variants. Yet, the biological underpinnings of trait-associated variants are extremely difficult to infer due to statistical noise ...
Transcription factors (TFs) can bind DNA in a cooperative manner, enabling a mutual increase in occupancy. Through this type of interaction, alternative binding sites can be preferentially bound in different tissues to regulate tissue-specific expres...
ChIP-seq is a technique to determine binding locations of transcription factors, which remains a central challenge in molecular biology. Current practice is to use a 'control' dataset to remove background signals from a immunoprecipitation (IP) 'targ...
MOTIVATION: Chromatin immune-precipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) experiments are commonly used to obtain genome-wide profiles of histone modifications associated with different types of functional genomic elements. However, the quality of histone ChI...
