We introduce the dynseq genome browser track, which displays DNA nucleotide characters scaled by user-specified, base-resolution scores provided in the BigWig file format. The dynseq track enables visualization of context-specific, informative genomic sequence features. We demonstrate its utility in three popular genome browsers for interpreting cis-regulatory sequence syntax and regulatory variant interpretation by visualizing nucleotide importance scores derived from machine learning models of regulatory DNA trained on protein-DNA binding and chromatin accessibility experiments.

"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.
