The protein Yin Yang 1 (YY1) could form dimers that facilitate the interaction between active enhancers and promoter-proximal elements. YY1-mediated enhancer-promoter interaction is the general feature of mammalian gene control. Recently, some comput...
Simultaneous profiling transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility information in the same individual cells offers an unprecedented resolution to understand cell states. However, computationally effective methods for the integration of these inherent ...
Machine learning methods have been widely applied to big data analysis in genomics and epigenomics research. Although accuracy and efficiency are common goals in many modeling tasks, model interpretability is especially important to these studies tow...

Segmentation of cell nuclei in fluorescence microscopy images provides valuable information about the shape and size of the nuclei, its chromatin texture and DNA content. It has many applications such as cell tracking, counting and classification. In...
MOTIVATION: High-resolution Hi-C data are indispensable for the studies of three-dimensional (3D) genome organization at kilobase level. However, generating high-resolution Hi-C data (e.g. 5 kb) by conducting Hi-C experiments needs millions of mammal...
SUMMARY: Support Vector Machines with gapped k-mer kernels (gkm-SVMs) have been used to learn predictive models of regulatory DNA sequence. However, interpreting predictive sequence patterns learned by gkm-SVMs can be challenging. Existing interpreta...
Interactions between regulatory elements are of crucial importance for the understanding of transcriptional regulation and the interpretation of disease mechanisms. Hi-C technique has been developed for genome-wide detection of chromatin contacts. Ho...
MOTIVATION: Transcription factors bind regulatory DNA sequences in a combinatorial manner to modulate gene expression. Deep neural networks (DNNs) can learn the cis-regulatory grammars encoded in regulatory DNA sequences associated with transcription...
