Deep learning models have shown great promise in predicting regulatory effects from DNA sequence, but their informativeness for human complex diseases is not fully understood. Here, we evaluate genome-wide SNP annotations from two previous deep learn...
Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) are regulated tobacco products and often contain flavor compounds. Given the concern of increased use and the appeal of ENDS by young people, evaluating the potential of flavors to induce DNA damage is impo...
ChIP-seq is one of the core experimental resources available to understand genome-wide epigenetic interactions and identify the functional elements associated with diseases. The analysis of ChIP-seq data is important but poses a difficult computation...
BACKGROUND: The three-dimensional (3D) structure of chromatins plays significant roles during cell differentiation and development. Hi-C and other 3C-based technologies allow us to look deep into the chromatin architectures. Many studies have suggest...

Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) play a significant role in the regulation of gene expression by modifying histones and non-histone substrates. Since they are key regulators in the reversible epigenetic mechanism, they are considered as promising drug ta...
BACKGROUND: Visualization tools for deep learning models typically focus on discovering key input features without considering how such low level features are combined in intermediate layers to make decisions. Moreover, many of these methods examine ...
MOTIVATION: Quantitative detection of histone modifications has emerged in the recent years as a major means for understanding such biological processes as chromosome packaging, transcriptional activation, and DNA damage. However, high-throughput exp...
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...
