Unlike animals, variability in transcription factors (TFs) and their binding regions (TFBRs) across the plants species is a major problem that most of the existing TFBR finding software fail to tackle, rendering them hardly of any use. This limitatio...
Inferring gene regulatory networks (GRNs) allows us to obtain a deeper understanding of cellular function and disease pathogenesis. Recent advances in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology have improved the accuracy of GRN inference. Howe...
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...
The rational design, activity prediction, and adaptive application of biological elements (bio-elements) are crucial research fields in synthetic biology. Currently, a major challenge in the field is efficiently designing desired bio-elements and acc...
Cross-species prediction of TF binding remains a major challenge due to the rapid evolutionary turnover of individual TF binding sites, resulting in cross-species predictive performance being consistently worse than within-species performance. In thi...
Characterizing the binding preferences of transcription factors (TFs) in different cell types and conditions is key to understand how they orchestrate gene expression. Here, we develop TFscope, a machine learning approach that identifies sequence fea...
MOTIVATION: The rise of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology presents new opportunities for constructing detailed cell type-specific gene regulatory networks (GRNs) to study cell heterogeneity. However, challenges caused by noises, techn...
The intricacies of the human genome, manifested as a complex network of genes, transcend conventional representations in text or numerical matrices. The intricate gene-to-gene relationships inherent in this complexity find a more suitable depiction i...
MOTIVATION: Transcription factors are pivotal in the regulation of gene expression, and accurate identification of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) at high resolution is crucial for understanding the mechanisms underlying gene regulation. T...
We demonstrate that nucleosomes placed in the gene body can be accurately located from signal decay theory assuming two emitters located at the beginning and at the end of genes. These generated wave signals can be in phase (leading to well defined n...
