Transcription plays a central role in defining the identity and functionalities of cells, as well as in their responses to changes in the cellular environment. The Gene Ontology (GO) provides a rigorously defined set of concepts that describe the fun...
Discovering sequence features that differentially direct cells to alternate fates is key to understanding both cellular development and the consequences of disease related mutations. We introduce Expected Pattern Effect and Differential Expected Patt...
Knowledge of genes that are critical to a tissue's function remains difficult to ascertain and presents a major bottleneck toward a mechanistic understanding of genotype-phenotype links. Here, we present the first machine learning model-FUGUE-combini...

Predicting in vivo protein-DNA binding sites is a challenging but pressing task in a variety of fields like drug design and development. Most promoters contain a number of transcription factor (TF) binding sites, but only a small minority has been id...
BACKGROUND: Most transcription factors (TFs) compete with nucleosomes to gain access to their cognate binding sites. Recent studies have identified several TF-nucleosome interaction modes including end binding (EB), oriented binding, periodic binding...
Epigenetic targets are of significant importance in drug discovery research, as demonstrated by the eight approved epigenetic drugs for treatment of cancer and the increasing availability of chemogenomic data related to epigenetics. This data represe...

Knowing the transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) is essential for modeling the underlying binding mechanisms and follow-up cellular functions. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have outperformed methods in predicting TFBSs from the primary D...
BACKGROUND: Due to the complexity of the biological systems, the prediction of the potential DNA binding sites for transcription factors remains a difficult problem in computational biology. Genomic DNA sequences and experimental results from paralle...
