Article Abstract

High-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technology captures spatial interactions of DNA sequences into matrices, and software tools are developed to identify topologically associating domains (TADs) from the Hi-C matrices. With structural information theory, SuperTAD adopted a dynamic programming approach to find the TAD hierarchy with minimal structural entropy. However, the algorithm suffers from high time complexity. To accelerate this algorithm, we design and implement an approximation algorithm with a theoretical performance guarantee. We implemented a package, SuperTAD-Fast. Using Hi-C matrices and simulated data, we demonstrated that SuperTAD-Fast achieved great runtime improvement compared with SuperTAD. SuperTAD-Fast shows high consistency and significant enrichment of structural proteins from Hi-C data of human cell lines in comparison with the existing six hierarchical TADs detecting methods.

Background: Amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) is characterized by marked episodic memory decline. The hippocampus is essential for episodic memory, and integration of information within its subregions is central to this process. This study examined how alterations in hippocampal subregional network relate to episodic memory impairment in aMCI.

Topologically associating domains (TADs) and chromatin architectural loops impact promoter-enhancer interactions, with CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) defining TAD borders and loop anchors. TAD boundaries and loops progressively strengthen upon embryonic stem (ES) cell differentiation, underscoring the importance of chromatin topology in ontogeny. However, the mechanisms driving this process remain unclear.

Identifying side effects is crucial for drug development and postmarket surveillance. Several computational methods based on graph neural networks (GNNs) have been developed, leveraging the topological structure and node attributes in graphs with promising results. However, existing heterogeneous-network-based approaches often fail to fully capture the complex structure and rich semantic information within these networks.

Non-intrusive neuroimaging technology offers fast and robust diagnostic tools for neuro-disorder disease diagnosis, such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Resting-state functional magnetic imaging (rs-fMRI) has been demonstrated to have great potential for such applications due to its unique capability and convenience in providing spatial-temporal brain imaging. One critical challenge of using rs-fMRI data is the high dimensionality for both spatial and temporal domains.

DNA, a large molecule located in the nucleus, carries essential genetic information, including gene loci and cis-regulatory elements. Despite its extensive length, DNA is compactly stored within the limited space of the nucleus due to its hierarchical three-dimensional (3D) organization. In this structure, DNA is organized into territories known as topologically associated domains (TADs).
