BACKGROUND: The rising incidence of breast cancer and its heterogeneity necessitate precise tools for predicting patient prognosis and tailoring personalized treatments. Epigenetic changes play a critical role in breast cancer progression and therapy...
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.
We introduce ChromActivity, a computational framework for predicting and annotating regulatory activity across the genome through integration of multiple epigenomic maps and various functional characterization datasets. ChromActivity generates genome...
INTRODUCTION: Epigenetic biomarkers are molecular indicators of epigenetic changes, and some studies have suggested that these biomarkers have predictive power for disease risk. This study aims to analyze the relationship between 30 epigenetic biomar...
Genomic alterations are the driving force behind pancreatic cancer (PC) tumorigenesis, but they do not fully account for its diverse phenotypes. Investigating the epigenetic landscapes of PC offers a more comprehensive understanding and could identif...
DNA methylation (DNAm) is a key epigenetic mark with essential roles in gene regulation, mammalian development, and human diseases. Single-cell technologies enable profiling DNAm at cytosines in individual cells, but they often suffer from low covera...
BACKGROUND: The changes in DNA methylation patterns may reflect both physical and mental well-being, the latter being a relatively unexplored avenue in terms of clinical utility for psychiatric disorders. In this study, our objective was to identify ...
Deep learning (DL) and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) have emerged as powerful machine-learning tools to identify complex predictive data patterns in a spatial or temporal domain. Here, we consider the application of DL and XAI to large om...
Using millions of methylation segments, we developed DiffuCpG, a generative artificial intelligence (AI) diffusion model designed to solve the critical challenge of missing data in high-throughput methylation technologies. DiffuCpG goes beyond conven...
Gene expression is the basis for cells to achieve various functions, while DNA methylation constitutes a critical epigenetic mechanism governing gene expression regulation. Here we propose DeepMethyGene, an adaptive recursive convolutional neural net...
