Rates of transcription elongation vary within and across eukaryotic gene bodies. Here, we introduce new methods for predicting elongation rates from nascent RNA sequencing data. First, we devise a probabilistic model that predicts nucleotide-specific...
MOTIVATION: Recent experimental developments enable single-cell multimodal epigenomic profiling, which measures multiple histone modifications and chromatin accessibility within the same cell. Such parallel measurements provide exciting new opportuni...
Identifying the regulatory effects of noncoding variants presents a significant challenge. Recently, the accumulation of epigenomic profiling data in wheat has provided an opportunity to model the functional impacts of these variants. In this study, ...
Advances in three-dimensional (3D) genomics have revealed the spatial characteristics of chromatin interactions in gene expression regulation, which is crucial for understanding molecular mechanisms in biological processes. High-throughput technologi...
Aging is a process of gradual decline in the functional capacity of the human body that leads to a significant increase in the risk of death over time. Although it is a process universal to all animals, its rate is not the same. Biomarkers of aging a...
The multi-omics molecular characterization of cancer opened a new horizon for our understanding of cancer biology and therapeutic strategies. However, a tumor biopsy comprises diverse types of cells limited not only to cancerous cells but also to tum...
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 ...
Epigenetics is a field of biological sciences focused on the study of reversible, heritable changes in gene function, not due to modifications of the genomic sequence. These changes are the result of a complex cross-talk between several molecular mec...
MOTIVATION: Predictive models of DNA chromatin profile (i.e. epigenetic state), such as transcription factor binding, are essential for understanding regulatory processes and developing gene therapies. It is known that the 3D genome, or spatial struc...
BACKGROUND: Gene expression plays a key intermediate role in linking molecular features at the DNA level and phenotype. However, owing to various limitations in experiments, the RNA-seq data are missing in many samples while there exist high-quality ...
