Massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) is a high-throughput method that enables the study of the regulatory activities of tens of thousands of DNA oligonucleotides in a single experiment. While MPRA experiments have grown in popularity, their small...
In the evolutionary history of plants, variation in cis-regulatory elements (CREs) resulting in diversification of gene expression has played a central role in driving the evolution of lineage-specific traits. However, it is difficult to predict expr...
MOTIVATION: Sequence models based on deep neural networks have achieved state-of-the-art performance on regulatory genomics prediction tasks, such as chromatin accessibility and transcription factor binding. But despite their high accuracy, their con...
An organism's genome contains many sequence regions that perform diverse functions. Examples of such regions include genes, promoters, enhancers, and binding sites for regulatory proteins and RNAs. One of biology's most important open problems is how...
MOTIVATION: Identifying histone tail modifications using ChIP-seq is commonly used in time-series experiments in development and disease. These assays, however, cover specific time-points leaving intermediate or early stages with missing information....

The circadian clock is an important adaptation to life on Earth. Here, we use machine learning to predict complex, temporal, and circadian gene expression patterns in Most significantly, we classify circadian genes using DNA sequence features genera...
Quantifying DNA properties is a challenging task in the broad field of human genomics. Since the vast majority of non-coding DNA is still poorly understood in terms of function, this task is particularly important to have enormous benefit for biology...
Enhancer-promoter interactions (EPIs) in the human genome are of great significance to transcriptional regulation, which tightly controls gene expression. Identification of EPIs can help us better decipher gene regulation and understand disease mecha...
MOTIVATION: Identification of enhancer-promoter interactions (EPIs) is of great significance to human development. However, experimental methods to identify EPIs cost too much in terms of time, manpower and money. Therefore, more and more research ef...
MOTIVATION: Interactions among cis-regulatory elements such as enhancers and promoters are main driving forces shaping context-specific chromatin structure and gene expression. Although there have been computational methods for predicting gene expres...
