Enhancers are cis-regulatory DNA sequences that are widely distributed throughout the genome. They can precisely regulate the expression of target genes. Since the features of enhancer segments are difficult to detect, we propose DeepDualEnhancer, a ...
Dysregulated super-enhancer (SE) results in aberrant transcription that drives cancer initiation and progression. SEs have been demonstrated as novel promising diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets across multiple human cancers. He...
BACKGROUND: Recognition of enhancer-promoter Interactions (EPIs) is crucial for human development. EPIs in the genome play a key role in regulating transcription. However, experimental approaches for classifying EPIs are too expensive in terms of eff...
Individual may response to drug treatment differently due to their genetic variants located in enhancers. These variants can alter transcription factor's (TF) binding strength, affect enhancer's chromatin activity or interaction, and eventually chang...
Transcriptional enhancers act as docking stations for combinations of transcription factors and thereby regulate spatiotemporal activation of their target genes. It has been a long-standing goal in the field to decode the regulatory logic of an enhan...
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...
Enhancers are DNA regions that are responsible for controlling the expression of genes. Enhancers are usually found upstream or downstream of a gene, or even inside a gene's intron region, but are normally located at a distant location from the genes...

Genetic association studies have identified hundreds of independent signals associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and related traits. Despite these successes, the identification of specific causal variants underlying a genetic association signal rema...
Super-enhancers are large domains on the genome where multiple short typical enhancers within a specific genomic distance are stitched together. Typically, they are cell type-specific and responsible for defining cell identity and regulating gene tra...
Protein-coding differences between species often fail to explain phenotypic diversity, suggesting the involvement of genomic elements that regulate gene expression such as enhancers. Identifying associations between enhancers and phenotypes is challe...
