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, noncoding DNA fragments, play a pivotal role in gene regulation, facilitating gene transcription. Identifying enhancers is crucial for understanding genomic regulatory mechanisms, pinpointing key elements and investigating networks governi...
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...
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...
MOTIVATION: Understanding the rules that govern enhancer-driven transcription remains a central unsolved problem in genomics. Now with multiple massively parallel enhancer perturbation assays published, there are enough data that we can utilize to le...
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...

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 ...
Enhancers play a critical role in dynamically regulating spatial-temporal gene expression and establishing cell identity, underscoring the significance of designing them with specific properties for applications in biosynthetic engineering and gene t...

Three-dimensional (3D) chromatin interactions, such as enhancer-promoter interactions (EPIs), loops, topologically associating domains (TADs), and A/B compartments, play critical roles in a wide range of cellular processes by regulating gene expressi...
