The disease progression and treatment options of leukemia between different subtypes vary considerably, emphasizing the importance of phenotyping. However, early typing of leukemia remains challenging due to the lack of highly sensitive and specific ...
Mammalian genomes have multiple enhancers spanning an ultralong distance (>megabases) to modulate important genes, but it is unclear how these enhancers coordinate to achieve this task. We combine multiplexed CRISPRi screening with machine learning t...
Although thermal proteome profiling (TPP) acts as a popular modification-free approach for drug target deconvolution, some key problems are still limiting screening sensitivity. In the prevailing TPP workflow, only the soluble fractions are analyzed ...

Predicting in vivo protein-DNA binding sites is a challenging but pressing task in a variety of fields like drug design and development. Most promoters contain a number of transcription factor (TF) binding sites, but only a small minority has been id...
The immunological synapse (IS) is a cell-cell junction between a T cell and a professional antigen-presenting cell. Since the IS formation is a critical step for the initiation of an antigen-specific immune response, various live-cell imaging techniq...
The role of three-dimensional genome organization as a critical regulator of gene expression has become increasingly clear over the last decade. Most of our understanding of this association comes from the study of long range chromatin interaction ma...
Accurately predicting chromatin loops from genome-wide interaction matrices such as Hi-C data is critical to deepening our understanding of proper gene regulation. Current approaches are mainly focused on searching for statistically enriched dots on ...
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...
A major limitation of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis of alternative splicing is its reliance on high sequencing coverage. We report DARTS (https://github.com/Xinglab/DARTS), a computational framework that integrates deep-learning-based predictions...
Following Cas9 cleavage, DNA repair without a donor template is generally considered stochastic, heterogeneous and impractical beyond gene disruption. Here, we show that template-free Cas9 editing is predictable and capable of precise repair to a pre...
