  • TRAPT: a multi-stage fused deep learning framework for predicting transcriptional regulators based on large-scale epigenomic data

    TRAPT: a multi-stage fused deep learning framework for predicting transcriptional regulators based on large-scale epigenomic data

    Overview of TRAPT

    TRAPT is a multi-omics framework of integration that is designed for inferring TR activity from a set of queried genes. In simple terms, the model takes interest genes as input and outputs the activity score for each TR (Fig. 1a…

  • MC4-R variant confirms its association with obesity during progression from childhood to adolescence

    MC4-R variant confirms its association with obesity during progression from childhood to adolescence

    This small follow up study demonstrates that the rs12970134 variant near the melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4-R) not only explicates an obesogenic effect in the prepubertal age but remains a major risk factor also during post pubertal age. Pubertal…

  • Re-analysis of mobile mRNA datasets raises questions about the extent of long-distance mRNA communication

    Re-analysis of mobile mRNA datasets raises questions about the extent of long-distance mRNA communication

    A key step in mobile mRNA studies is the assignment of RNA-seq reads to different genotypes. One way of identifying the genotype is based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (Fig. 1). Typically, a requirement is made for a defined number of…
