Predicting Chromatin Accessibility in Drosophila Using CNN and Multi-Head Attention

Chromatin accessibility (open chromatin accessibility) has gained increasing attention in the context of gene regulation and evolution, but our understanding of it remains limited. There is particularly little knowledge about how chromatin accessibility develops and evolves. Recently, the Zhao Li laboratory at The Rockefeller University published a research paper titled The evolution and mutational robustness … Read more
