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...
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely associated with the regulation of gene expression, whose promoters play a crucial role in comprehensively understanding lncRNA regulatory mechanisms, functions and their roles in diseases. Due to limitations...

Three-dimensional (3D) chromatin interactions, such as enhancer-promoter interactions (EPIs), loops, topologically associating domains (TADs), and A/B compartments, play critical roles in a wide range of cellular processes by regulating gene expressi...
Invertible promoters (invertons) are crucial regulatory elements in bacteria, facilitating gene expression changes under stress. Despite their importance, their prevalence and the range of regulated gene functions are largely unknown. We introduced D...
OBJECTIVES: Telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter (pTERT) mutation status plays a key role in making decisions and predicting prognoses for patients with World Health Organization (WHO) grade IV glioma. This study was conducted to assess the valu...
Predicting the strength of promoters and guiding their directed evolution is a crucial task in synthetic biology. This approach significantly reduces the experimental costs in conventional promoter engineering. Previous studies employing machine lear...
Gene expression is temporally and spatially regulated by the interaction of transcription factors (TFs) and cis-regulatory elements (CREs). The uneven distribution of TF binding sites across the genome poses challenges in understanding how this distr...
Native prokaryotic promoters share common sequence patterns, but are species dependent. For understudied species with limited data, it is challenging to predict the strength of existing promoters and generate novel promoters. Here, we developed Promo...
MOTIVATION: Understanding the rules that govern enhancer-driven transcription remains a central unsolved problem in genomics. Now with multiple massively parallel enhancer perturbation assays published, there are enough data that we can utilize to le...
Enhancers, noncoding DNA fragments, play a pivotal role in gene regulation, facilitating gene transcription. Identifying enhancers is crucial for understanding genomic regulatory mechanisms, pinpointing key elements and investigating networks governi...
