Enhancer is a DNA sequence of a genome that controls transcription of downstream target genes. Enhancers are known to be associated with certain epigenetic signatures. Machine learning tools, such as CSI-ANN, ChromHMM, and RFECS, were developed for p...
BACKGROUND: Although different quality controls have been applied at different stages of the sample preparation and data analysis to ensure both reproducibility and reliability of RNA-seq results, there are still limitations and bias on the detectabi...
BACKGROUND: With the development of chromosomal conformation capturing techniques, particularly, the Hi-C technique, the study of the spatial conformation of a genome is becoming an important topic in bioinformatics and computational biology. The Hi-...
Transcriptional enhancers regulate spatio-temporal gene expression. While genomic assays can identify putative enhancers en masse, assigning target genes is a complex challenge. We devised a machine learning approach, McEnhancer, which links target g...
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...
To understand the complex relationship between histone mark activity and gene expression, recent advances have used in silico predictions based on large-scale machine learning models. However, these approaches have omitted key contributing factors li...
The intricacies of the human genome, manifested as a complex network of genes, transcend conventional representations in text or numerical matrices. The intricate gene-to-gene relationships inherent in this complexity find a more suitable depiction i...

Here we describe an approach that uses deep learning neural networks such as CNN and RNN to aggregate information from DNA sequence; physical, chemical, and structural properties of nucleotides; and omics data on histone modifications, methylation, c...
MOTIVATION: Identifying histone tail modifications using ChIP-seq is commonly used in time-series experiments in development and disease. These assays, however, cover specific time-points leaving intermediate or early stages with missing information....
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 ...
