Drawing inspiration from convolutional neural networks, graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have been implemented in various applications. Yet, the integration of GCNs into clinical settings, particularly in the context of complex health conditions l...
MOTIVATION: Structural variants (SVs) play a causal role in numerous diseases but can be difficult to detect and accurately genotype (determine zygosity) with short-read genome sequencing data (SRS). Improving SV genotyping accuracy in SRS data, part...
Machine Learning-based scoring and classification of genetic variants aids the assessment of clinical findings and is employed to prioritize variants in diverse genetic studies and analyses. Combined Annotation-Dependent Depletion (CADD) is one of th...

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is an inducible transcription factor whose ligands include the potent environmental contaminant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Ligand-activated AhR binds to DNA at dioxin response elements (DREs) conta...
Silencers are noncoding DNA sequence fragments located on the genome that suppress gene expression. The variation of silencers in specific cells is closely related to gene expression and cancer development. Computational approaches that exclusively r...
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...
MOTIVATION: Efficient tapping into genomic information from a single microscopic image of an intact DNA molecule is an outstanding challenge and its solution will open new frontiers in molecular diagnostics. Here, a new computational method for optic...
Massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) is a high-throughput method that enables the study of the regulatory activities of tens of thousands of DNA oligonucleotides in a single experiment. While MPRA experiments have grown in popularity, their small...
Structural variations (SVs) play important roles in human genetic diversity; deletions and insertions are two common types of SVs that have been proven to be associated with genetic diseases. Hence, accurately detecting and genotyping SVs is signific...
