Deep learning-based selection of human sperm with high DNA integrity.

Communications biology
Despite the importance of sperm DNA to human reproduction, currently no method exists to assess individual sperm DNA quality prior to clinical selection. Traditionally, skilled clinicians select sperm based on a variety of morphological and motility ...

DeepHistone: a deep learning approach to predicting histone modifications.

BMC genomics
MOTIVATION: Quantitative detection of histone modifications has emerged in the recent years as a major means for understanding such biological processes as chromosome packaging, transcriptional activation, and DNA damage. However, high-throughput exp...

FactorNet: A deep learning framework for predicting cell type specific transcription factor binding from nucleotide-resolution sequential data.

Methods (San Diego, Calif.)
Due to the large numbers of transcription factors (TFs) and cell types, querying binding profiles of all valid TF/cell type pairs is not experimentally feasible. To address this issue, we developed a convolutional-recurrent neural network model, call...

Enhancer prediction with histone modification marks using a hybrid neural network model.

Methods (San Diego, Calif.)
Enhancer is a DNA sequence of a genome that controls transcription of downstream target genes. Enhancers are known to be associated with certain epigenetic signatures. Machine learning tools, such as CSI-ANN, ChromHMM, and RFECS, were developed for p...

Machine learning polymer models of three-dimensional chromatin organization in human lymphoblastoid cells.

Methods (San Diego, Calif.)
We present machine learning models of human genome three-dimensional structure that combine one dimensional (linear) sequence specificity, epigenomic information, and transcription factor binding profiles, with the polymer-based biophysical simulatio...

MaGIC: a machine learning tool set and web application for monoallelic gene inference from chromatin.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: A large fraction of human and mouse autosomal genes are subject to random monoallelic expression (MAE), an epigenetic mechanism characterized by allele-specific gene expression that varies between clonal cell lineages. MAE is highly cell-...

Dense neural networks for predicting chromatin conformation.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: DNA inside eukaryotic cells wraps around histones to form the 11nm chromatin fiber that can further fold into higher-order DNA loops, which may depend on the binding of architectural factors. Predicting how the DNA will fold given a distr...

Cancer type prediction based on copy number aberration and chromatin 3D structure with convolutional neural networks.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: With the developments of DNA sequencing technology, large amounts of sequencing data have been produced that provides unprecedented opportunities for advanced association studies between somatic mutations and cancer types/subtypes which f...

Machine learning approaches infer vitamin D signaling: Critical impact of vitamin D receptor binding within topologically associated domains.

The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology
The vitamin D-modulated transcriptome of highly responsive human cells, such as THP-1 monocytes, comprises more than 500 genes, half of which are primary targets. Recently, we proposed a chromatin model of vitamin D signaling demonstrating that nearl...

Advances in the computational and molecular understanding of the prostate cancer cell nucleus.

Journal of cellular biochemistry
Nuclear alterations are a hallmark of many types of cancers, including prostate cancer (PCa). Recent evidence shows that subvisual changes, ones that may not be visually perceptible to a pathologist, to the nucleus and its ultrastructural components ...
