Enhancers are noncoding fragments in DNA sequences, which play an important role in gene transcription and translation. However, due to their high free scattering and positional variability, the identification and classification of enhancers have a h...
Algorithms and information processing, fundamental to biological system, are an essential aspect of many elementary physical phenomena, such as molecular self-assembly. Self-assembly system has been proved to be capable of performing many logic opera...
In interphase, the human genome sequence folds in three dimensions into a rich variety of locus-specific contact patterns. Cohesin and CTCF (CCCTC-binding factor) are key regulators; perturbing the levels of either greatly disrupts genome-wide foldin...
Predicting the impact of noncoding genetic variation requires interpreting it in the context of three-dimensional genome architecture. We have developed deepC, a transfer-learning-based deep neural network that accurately predicts genome folding from...
While synthetic biology has revolutionized our approaches to medicine, agriculture, and energy, the design of completely novel biological circuit components beyond naturally-derived templates remains challenging due to poorly understood design rules....
Genotype imputation estimates the genotypes of unobserved variants using the genotype data of other observed variants based on a collection of haplotypes for thousands of individuals, which is known as a haplotype reference panel. In general, more ac...
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...

Breast cancer, as one of the most common diseases threatening the women's life, has attracted serious attention of the clinical and biomedical researchers worldwide. The genome-based studies along with their registered GEO datasets are frequent in th...
The RNA polymerase II (Pol II) core promoter is the strategic site of convergence of the signals that lead to the initiation of DNA transcription, but the downstream core promoter in humans has been difficult to understand. Here we analyse the human ...
Gene-gene interaction (G × G) is thought to fill the gap between the estimated heritability of complex diseases and the limited genetic proportion explained by identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms. The current tools for exploring G × G were oft...
