BACKGROUND: The incidence and mortality of endometrial cancer (EC) is on the rise. Eighty-five percent of ECs depend on estrogen receptor alpha (ERĪ±) for proliferation, but little is known about its transcriptional regulation in these tumors.
MOTIVATION: Enhancers and promoters, as regulatory DNA elements, play pivotal roles in gene expression, homeostasis, and disease development across various biological processes. With advancing research, it has been uncovered that distal enhancers may...
Super-enhancers (SEs) are typically located in the regulatory regions of genes, driving high-level gene expression. Identifying SEs is crucial for a deeper understanding of gene regulatory networks, disease mechanisms, and the development and physiol...

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...
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...
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...
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...
Enhancers are crucial cis-regulatory elements that control gene expression in a cell-type-specific manner. Despite extensive genetic and computational studies, accurately predicting enhancer activity in different cell types remains a challenge, and t...
MOTIVATION: Enhancers are vital cis-regulatory elements that regulate gene expression. Enhancer RNAs (eRNAs), a type of long noncoding RNAs, are transcribed from enhancer regions in the genome. The tissue-specific expression of eRNAs is crucial in th...
The analysis of super-enhancers (SEs) has recently attracted attention in elucidating the molecular mechanisms of cancer and other diseases. SEs are genomic structures that strongly induce gene expression and have been reported to contribute to the o...
