Enhancers control gene expression and have crucial roles in development and homeostasis. However, the targeted de novo design of enhancers with tissue-specific activities has remained challenging. Here we combine deep learning and transfer learning t...
Malaria remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases. Transcriptional regulation effects of noncoding variants in this unusual genome of malaria parasites remain elusive. We developed a sequence-based, ab initio deep learning framework, MalariaSE...

Identification of chromatin interactions is crucial for advancing our knowledge of gene regulation. However, due to the limitations of high-throughput experimental techniques, there is an urgent need to develop computational methods for predicting ch...
Supranucleosomal chromatin structure, including chromatin domain conformation, is involved in the regulation of gene expression and its dysregulation has been associated with carcinogenesis. Prior studies have shown that cells in the buccal mucosa ca...
The organisation of the genome in nuclear space is an important frontier of biology. Chromosome conformation capture methods such as Hi-C and Micro-C produce genome-wide chromatin contact maps that provide rich data containing quantitative and qualit...
Predicting the transcription factor binding site (TFBS) in the whole genome range is essential in exploring the rule of gene transcription control. Although many deep learning methods to predict TFBS have been proposed, predicting TFBS using single-c...

Utilizing large-scale epigenomics data, deep learning tools can predict the regulatory activity of genomic sequences, annotate non-coding genetic variants, and uncover mechanisms behind complex traits. However, these tools primarily rely on human or ...
Deep learning models such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) excel in genomic tasks but lack interpretability. We introduce ExplaiNN, which combines the expressiveness of CNNs with the interpretability of linear models. ExplaiNN can predict TF b...
Mapping gene networks requires large amounts of transcriptomic data to learn the connections between genes, which impedes discoveries in settings with limited data, including rare diseases and diseases affecting clinically inaccessible tissues. Recen...
BACKGROUND: Recently, deep neural networks have been successfully applied in many biological fields. In 2020, a deep learning model AlphaFold won the protein folding competition with predicted structures within the error tolerance of experimental met...
