Machine and deep learning methods for predicting 3D genome organization
Three-Dimensional (3D) chromatin interactions, such as enhancer-promoter interactions (EPIs), loops, Topologically Associating Domains (TADs), and A/B compartments play critical roles in a wide range of cellular processes by regulating gene expression. Recent development of chromatin conformation capture technologies has enabled genome-wide profiling of various 3D structures, even with single cells. However, current catalogs of 3D structures remain incomplete and unreliable due to differences in technology, tools, and low data resolution. Machine learning methods have emerged as an alternative to obtain missing 3D interactions and/or improve resolution. Such methods frequently use genome annotation data (ChIP-seq, DNAse-seq, etc.), DNA sequencing information (k-mers, Transcription Factor Binding Site (TFBS) motifs), and other genomic properties to learn the associations between genomic features and chromatin interactions. In this review, we discuss computational tools for predicting three types of 3D interactions (EPIs, chromatin interactions, TAD boundaries) and analyze their pros and cons. We also point out obstacles of computational prediction of 3D interactions and suggest future research directions.

bioSBM: a random graph model to integrate epigenomic data in chromatin structure prediction
The spatial organization of chromatin within the nucleus plays a crucial role in gene expression and genome function. However, the quantitative relationship between this organization and nuclear biochemical processes rem…
Learning interpretable models of phenotypes from whole genome sequences with the Set Covering Machine
The increased affordability of whole genome sequencing has motivated its use for phenotypic studies. We address the problem of learning interpretable models for discrete phenotypes from whole genomes. We propose a genera…
Identifying 3D Genome Organization in Diploid Organisms via Euclidean Distance Geometry
The spatial organization of the DNA in the cell nucleus plays an important role for gene regulation, DNA replication, and genomic integrity. Through the development of chromosome conformation capture experiments (such as…
MicroFuse: Protein-to-Genome Expert Fusion for Microbial Operon Reasoning
Predicting microbial operon co-membership requires integrating two complementary biological signals: protein-scale molecular identity and genome-context organization. While recent biological foundation models provide pow…
