BACKGROUND: The widespread usage of Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) has led to numerous breakthroughs in understanding the transcription mechanisms. Recent evidence in the literature, however, suggests that CAGE suffers from transcriptional an...
Enhancers are small regions of DNA that bind to proteins, which enhance the transcription of genes. The enhancer may be located upstream or downstream of the gene. It is not necessarily close to the gene to be acted on, because the entanglement struc...

Single-cell multi-omics technologies enable comprehensive interrogation of cellular regulation, yet most single-cell assays measure only one type of activity-such as transcription, chromatin accessibility, DNA methylation, or 3D chromatin architectur...
In recent years, major advances have been made in various chromosome conformation capture technologies to further satisfy the needs of researchers for high-quality, high-resolution contact interactions. Discriminating the loops from genome-wide conta...
Human epigenome and transcription activities have been characterized by a number of sequence-based deep learning approaches which only utilize the DNA sequences. However, transcription factors interact with each other, and their collaborative regulat...
In higher eukaryotic cells, chromosomes are folded inside the nucleus. Recent advances in whole-genome mapping technologies have revealed the multiscale features of 3D genome organization that are intertwined with fundamental genome functions. Howeve...
Linking distal enhancers to genes and modeling their impact on target gene expression are longstanding unresolved problems in regulatory genomics and critical for interpreting noncoding genetic variation. Here, we present a new deep learning approach...
Mapping chromatin insulator loops is crucial to investigating genome evolution, elucidating critical biological functions, and ultimately quantifying variant impact in diseases. However, chromatin conformation profiling assays are usually expensive, ...

Although computational approaches have been complementing high-throughput biological experiments for the identification of functional regions in the human genome, it remains a great challenge to systematically decipher interactions between transcript...
Charting an organs' biological atlas requires us to spatially resolve the entire single-cell transcriptome, and to relate such cellular features to the anatomical scale. Single-cell and single-nucleus RNA-seq (sc/snRNA-seq) can profile cells comprehe...
