Deep learning suggests that gene expression is encoded in all parts of a co-evolving interacting gene regulatory structure.

Nature communications
Understanding the genetic regulatory code governing gene expression is an important challenge in molecular biology. However, how individual coding and non-coding regions of the gene regulatory structure interact and contribute to mRNA expression leve...

Prediction of enhancer-promoter interactions using the cross-cell type information and domain adversarial neural network.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Enhancer-promoter interactions (EPIs) play key roles in transcriptional regulation and disease progression. Although several computational methods have been developed to predict such interactions, their performances are not satisfactory w...

Deep learning of immune cell differentiation.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Although we know many sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs), how the DNA sequence of cis-regulatory elements is decoded and orchestrated on the genome scale to determine immune cell differentiation is beyond our grasp. Leveraging a granular a...

Frequency spectra characterization of noncoding human genomic sequences.

Genes & genomics
BACKGROUND: Noncoding sequences have been demonstrated to possess regulatory functions. Its classification is challenging because they do not show well-defined nucleotide patterns that can correlate with their biological functions. Genomic signal pro...

Predicting gene regulatory regions with a convolutional neural network for processing double-strand genome sequence information.

PloS one
With advances in sequencing technology, a vast amount of genomic sequence information has become available. However, annotating biological functions particularly of non-protein-coding regions in genome sequences without experiments is still a challen...

Large-scale DNA-based phenotypic recording and deep learning enable highly accurate sequence-function mapping.

Nature communications
Predicting effects of gene regulatory elements (GREs) is a longstanding challenge in biology. Machine learning may address this, but requires large datasets linking GREs to their quantitative function. However, experimental methods to generate such d...

AIKYATAN: mapping distal regulatory elements using convolutional learning on GPU.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: The data deluge can leverage sophisticated ML techniques for functionally annotating the regulatory non-coding genome. The challenge lies in selecting the appropriate classifier for the specific functional annotation problem, within the b...

Deep learning for DNase I hypersensitive sites identification.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: The DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSs) are associated with the cis-regulatory DNA elements. An efficient method of identifying DHSs can enhance the understanding on the accessibility of chromatin. Despite a multitude of resources availab...

Genome-wide prediction of cis-regulatory regions using supervised deep learning methods.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: In the human genome, 98% of DNA sequences are non-protein-coding regions that were previously disregarded as junk DNA. In fact, non-coding regions host a variety of cis-regulatory regions which precisely control the expression of genes. T...

Sequential regulatory activity prediction across chromosomes with convolutional neural networks.

Genome research
Models for predicting phenotypic outcomes from genotypes have important applications to understanding genomic function and improving human health. Here, we develop a machine-learning system to predict cell-type-specific epigenetic and transcriptional...
