BACKGROUND: DNA N4-methylcytosine (4mC) is a critical epigenetic modification and has various roles in the restriction-modification system. Due to the high cost of experimental laboratory detection, computational methods using sequence characteristic...
Alternative RNA splicing provides an important means to expand metazoan transcriptome diversity. Contrary to what was accepted previously, splicing is now thought to predominantly take place during transcription. Motivated by emerging data showing th...
The human epigenome has been experimentally characterized by thousands of measurements for every basepair in the human genome. We propose a deep neural network tensor factorization method, Avocado, that compresses this epigenomic data into a dense, i...
Chromatin interaction studies can reveal how the genome is organized into spatially confined sub-compartments in the nucleus. However, accurately identifying sub-compartments from chromatin interaction data remains a challenge in computational biolog...
Simultaneous measurements of transcriptomic and epigenomic profiles in the same individual cells provide an unprecedented opportunity to understand cell fates. However, effective approaches for the integrative analysis of such data are lacking. Here,...
Early and accurate diagnosis significantly improves the chances of disease survival. DNA methylation (5mC), the major DNA modification in the human genome, is now recognized as a biomarker of immense clinical potential. This is due to its ability to ...
Plant DNA methylation changes occur hundreds to thousands of times faster than DNA mutations and can be transmitted transgenerationally, making them useful for studying population-scale patterns in clonal or selfing species. However, a state-of-the-a...

Genome-wide DNA methylomes have contributed greatly to tumor detection and subclassification. However, interpreting the biological impact of the DNA methylome at the individual gene level remains a challenge. MethylationToActivity (M2A) is a pipeline...
Although clinical and laboratory data have long been used to guide medical practice, this information is rarely integrated with multi-omic data to identify endotypes. We present Merged Affinity Network Association Clustering (MANAclust), a coding-fre...
Assessing the causal tissues of human complex diseases is important for the prioritization of trait-associated genetic variants. Yet, the biological underpinnings of trait-associated variants are extremely difficult to infer due to statistical noise ...
