Three-dimensional (3D) architecture of the chromosomes is of crucial importance for transcription regulation and DNA replication. Various high-throughput chromosome conformation capture-based methods have revealed that CTCF-mediated chromatin loops are a major component of 3D architecture. However, CTCF-mediated chromatin loops are cell type specific, and most chromatin interaction capture techniques are time-consuming and labor-intensive, which restricts their usage on a very large number of cell types. Genomic sequence-based computational models are sophisticated enough to capture important features of chromatin architecture and help to identify chromatin loops. In this work, we develop Deep-loop, a convolutional neural network model, to integrate k-tuple nucleotide frequency component, nucleotide pair spectrum encoding, position conservation, position scoring function and natural vector features for the prediction of chromatin loops. By a series of examination based on cross-validation, Deep-loop shows excellent performance in the identification of the chromatin loops from different cell types. The source code of Deep-loop is freely available at the repository https://github.com/linDing-group/Deep-loop.

D016571 Neural Networks, Computer A computer architecture, implementable in either hardware or software, modeled after biological neural networks. Like the biological system in which the processing capability is a result of the interconnection strengths between arrays of nonlinear processing nodes, computerized neural networks, often called perceptrons or multilayer connectionist models, consist of neuron-like units. A homogeneous group of units makes up a layer. These networks are good at pattern recognition. They are adaptive, performing tasks by example, and thus are better for decision-making than are linear learning machines or cluster analysis. They do not require explicit programming.
