OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Predicting activity patterns of regulatory elements in zebrafish using ML
The talk is available online too, see booking url for Teams link
During eukaryotic cell division, the genome folds into a three-dimensional structure that defines how regulatory elements, such as enhancers, interact. Furthermore, studies demonstrate that some folding (or mis-folding) patterns of the genome are closely associated to diverse diseases, such as cancer. Therefore, the identification of genome folding patterns has become a highly interesting topic for scientists to interpret how gene regulation is influenced by chromatin architecture formation. However, chromatin folding presents different patterns depending on the cell type and developmental stage of the organism. Here, we introduce three predicting models based on DeepC, an algorithm that uses transfer learning followed by CNNs, able to predict chromatin interactions in short- and long-distance scales from Hi-C datasets of brain, muscle of adult and whole-embryo zebrafish using transcriptional data alone.
