However, our understanding of binding patterns of transcription factors and the effects that changes to their binding sites have on their action remains limited. To address this issue we trained a Deep learning model to predict the effects of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) on transcription factor binding. Allele specific binding (ASB) data from Chromatin Immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) experiments were paired with high sequence-identity DNA binding Domains assessed in Protein Binding Microarray (PBM) experiments. For each transcription factor a paired DNA binding Domain was selected from which we derived E-score profiles for reference and alternate DNA sequences of ASB events. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) was trained to predict whether these profiles were indicative of ASB gain/loss or no change in binding. 18211 E-score profiles from 113 transcription factors were split into train, validation and test data.

Much research has been conducted on the study of microbial communities in various environments and how their interactions and relationships can provide insight into various diseases. Co-occurrence network inference algorithms help us understand the complex associations of micro-organisms, especially bacteria. Existing network inference algorithms employ techniques such as correlation, regularized linear regression, and conditional dependence, which have different hyper-parameters that determine the sparsity of the network. These complex microbial communities form intricate ecological networks that are fundamental to ecosystem functioning and host health.
