Show abstract
DNA accessibility of cis regulatory elements (CREs) dictates transcriptional activity and drives cell differentiation during development. While many of the genes that regulate embryonic development have been described, the underlying CRE dynamics controlling their expression remain largely unknown. To address this, we applied single-cell combinatorial indexing ATAC-seq (sci-ATAC-seq) to whole 24 hours post fertilization (hpf) stage zebrafish embryos and developed a new computational tool, ScregSeg, that selects informative genome segments and classifies complex accessibility dynamics. We integrated the ScregSeg output with bulk measurements for histone post-translational modifications and 3D genome organization, expanding knowledge of regulatory principles between chromatin modalities. Sci-ATAC-seq profiling of npas4l/cloche mutant embryos revealed novel cellular roles for this hemato-vascular transcriptional master regulator and suggests an intricate mechanism regulating its expression. Our work constitutes a valuable resource for future studies in developmental, molecular, and computational biology.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
