Single-cell chromatin accessibility sequencing (scCAS) has emerged as a valuable tool for interrogating and elucidating epigenomic heterogeneity gene regulation. However, scCAS data inherently suffers from limitations such high sparsity dimensionality, which pose significant challenges downstream analyses. Although several methods are proposed to enhance data, there still that hinder the effectiveness of these methods. Here, we propose scCASE, enhancement method based on non-negative matrix...
Gene regulatory elements, including promoters, enhancers, silencers, etc., control transcriptional programs in a spatiotemporal manner. Though these elements are known to be able induce either positive or negative control, the community has been mostly studying enhancers which amplify transcription initiation, with less emphasis given silencers repress gene expression. To facilitate study of and investigation their potential roles we developed SilencerDB...

Abstract Single-cell sequencing technology has enabled the characterization of cellular heterogeneity at an unprecedented resolution. To analyze single-cell RNA-sequencing data, numerous tools have been proposed for various analytic tasks, which systematically summarized and concluded in a comprehensive database called scRNA-tools. Although epigenomic data can effectively reveal chromatin regulatory landscape that governs transcription, analysis presents assay-specific challenges, abundance...

Identifying cis-regulatory elements (CREs) within non-coding genomic regions-such as enhancers, silencers, promoters, and insulators-is pivotal for elucidating the intricate gene regulatory mechanisms underlying complex biological traits. The current prevalent sequence-based methods often focus on singular CRE types, limiting insights into cell-type-specific implications. Here, we introduce CREATE, a multimodal deep learning model based Vector Quantized Variational AutoEncoder framework,...
Large-scale foundation models have recently opened new avenues for artificial general intelligence. Such a research paradigm has shown considerable promise in the analysis of single-cell sequencing data, while to date, efforts centered on transcriptome. In contrast gene expression, chromatin accessibility provides more decisive insights into cell states, shaping regulatory landscapes that control transcription distinct types.
