DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSs) is important for identifying the location of gene regulatory elements, such as promoters, enhancers, silencers, and so on. Thus, it is crucial for discriminating DHSs from non-DHSs. Although some traditional method...

The rapid development of high-throughput sequencing technology provides unique opportunities for studying of transcription factor binding sites, but also brings new computational challenges. Recently, a series of discriminative motif discovery (DMD) ...
How noncoding DNA determines gene expression in different cell types is a major unsolved problem, and critical downstream applications in human genetics depend on improved solutions. Here, we report substantially improved gene expression prediction a...
As a key component of gene regulation, transcription factors (TFs) play an important role in a number of biological processes. To fully understand the underlying mechanism of TF-mediated gene regulation, it is therefore critical to accurately identif...
Protein-DNA interactions play an important role in biological progress, such as DNA replication, repair, and modification processes. In order to have a better understanding of its functions, the one of the most important steps is the identification o...
Prime editing is a revolutionary genome-editing technology that can make a wide range of precise edits in DNA. However, designing highly efficient prime editors (PEs) remains challenging. We develop Easy-Prime, a machine learning-based program traine...
Promoter is a region of DNA that determines the transcription of a particular gene. There are several σ factors in the RNA polymerase, which has the function of identifying the promoter and facilitating the binding of the RNA polymerase to the promot...
