Transcription factors (TFs) are proteins specifically involved in gene expression regulation. It is generally accepted in epigenetics that methylated nucleotides could prevent the TFs from binding to DNA fragments. However, recent studies have confir...
High-throughput single-cell RNA-seq data have provided unprecedented opportunities for deciphering the regulatory interactions among genes. However, such interactions are complex and often nonlinear or nonmonotonic, which makes their inference using ...
Gene expression is directly controlled by transcription factors (TFs) in a complex combination manner. It remains a challenging task to systematically infer how the cooperative binding of TFs drives gene activity. Here, we quantitatively analyzed the...
Accurate identification of transcription factor binding sites is of great significance in understanding gene expression, biological development and drug design. Although a variety of methods based on deep-learning models and large-scale data have bee...
Identifying cis-regulatory motifs from genomic sequencing data (e.g. ChIP-seq and CLIP-seq) is crucial in identifying transcription factor (TF) binding sites and inferring gene regulatory mechanisms for any organism. Since 2015, deep learning (DL) me...
The cooperativity of transcription factors (TFs) is a widespread phenomenon in the gene regulation system. However, the interaction patterns between TF binding motifs remain elusive. The recent high-throughput assays, CAP-SELEX, have identified over ...
OBJECTIVE: We previously reported early-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) associated genetic loci among a Korean population. We explored whether the AF-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) selected from the Genome-Wide Association Study (GW...
The accumulation of large epigenomics data consortiums provides us with the opportunity to extrapolate existing knowledge to new cell types and conditions. We propose Epitome, a deep neural network that learns similarities of chromatin accessibility ...
Transcription factors (TFs) are essential proteins in regulating the spatiotemporal expression of genes. It is crucial to infer the potential transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) with high resolution to promote biology and realize precision med...
The effectiveness of deep learning methods can be largely attributed to the automated extraction of relevant features from raw data. In the field of functional genomics, this generally concerns the automatic selection of relevant nucleotide motifs fr...
