The binding and contribution of transcription factors (TF) to cell specific gene expression is often deduced from open-chromatin measurements to avoid costly TF ChIP-seq assays. Thus, it is important to develop computational methods for accurate TF b...
Alu elements are the most abundant retrotransposons in the human genome with more than one million copies. Alu repeats have been reported to participate in multiple processes related with genome regulation and compartmentalization. Moreover, they hav...
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 ...
Chromatin and DNA modifications mediate the transcriptional activity of lineage-specifying enhancers, but recent work challenges the dogma that joint chromatin accessibility and DNA demethylation are prerequisites for transcription. To understand thi...
Cis-regulatory elements (CREs), including enhancers, silencers, promoters and insulators, play pivotal roles in orchestrating gene regulatory mechanisms that drive complex biological traits. However, current approaches for CRE identification are pred...

Phase separation is an important mechanism to generate certain biomolecular condensates and organize the cell interior. Condensate formation and function remain incompletely understood due to difficulties in visualizing the condensate interior at hig...
The study of chromatin interactions has advanced considerably with technologies such as high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) sequencing, providing a genome-wide view of physical interactions within the nucleus. These techniques have...
MOTIVATION: Topologically associated domains (TADs) play a key role in the 3D organization and function of genomes, and accurate detection of TADs is essential for revealing the relationship between genomic structure and function. Most current method...
To understand the complex relationship between histone mark activity and gene expression, recent advances have used in silico predictions based on large-scale machine learning models. However, these approaches have omitted key contributing factors li...
