Generating high-quality training data for machine learning is costly. Here, authors include sequence-to-function modeling in benchmarking of custom and commercial droplet-based scATAC platforms, and r...

Diverse neurons and glia are generated in conserved spatial and temporal sequences during mammalian brain development. Divergence in gene regulatory networks can alter brain composition, scaling, timi...

Summary Pairwise sequence similarity is a core operation in genomic analysis, yet most attention has been given to sequences made up of discrete characters. With the growing prevalence of machine lear...

Johansen et al. report the results of a community challenge to predict functional enhancers targeting specific brain cell types. By comparing multi-omics machine learning approaches using in vivo data...

Complex neural circuits likely arose independently in birds and mammals, suggesting that vertebrates evolved intelligence multiple times.

Sequence-based deep learning models have become the state of the art for the analysis of the genomic regulatory code. Particularly for transcriptional enhancers, deep learning models excel at decipher...

Enhancers are genomic elements critical for regulating gene expression. In this Review, the authors discuss how sequence-to-function models can be used to unravel the rules underlying enhancer activit...

Neural development and brain circuit evolution converged in birds and mammals
