'' Single-cell driven enhancer modelling and design '' Prof Stein Aerts VIB Center for AI & Computational Biology KU Leuven BELGIUM Tuesday, April 30, 2024 11:00 am The combination of scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq allows building gene-regulatory atlases of any tissue and species. I will present several new computational strategies that exploit single-cell multi-omics data: (1) to model genomic enhancers using topic modelling and convolutional neural networks; and (2) to derive “enhancer-GRNs” (eGRN) with key transcription factors, genomic enhancers, and predicted target genes per cell type. I will discuss the results of several case studies where we applied these strategies, including the Drosophila brain, human melanoma, the mouse liver, and the evolution of cell types in the vertebrate telencephalon. Finally, I will discuss how enhancer models based on deep learning can be exploited to design synthetic enhancers for Drosophila and human cell types.
