MotivationTo understand whether sets of genomic loci are enriched at the regulatory loci of one or more cell types, we developed the gaiaAssociation package to perform Regulatory Landscape Enrichment Analysis (RLEA). RLEA is a novel analytical process that tests for enrichment of sets of loci in cell type-specific open chromatin regions (OCRs) in the genome. ResultsWe demonstrate that the application of RLEA to genome-wide association study (GWAS) data reveals cell types likely to be mediating the phenotype studied, and clusters OCRs based on their shared regulatory profiles. GaiaAssociation is Python code that is freely available for use in functional genomics studies. Availability and ImplementationGaia Association is available on PyPi (https://pypi.org/project/gaiaAssociation/0.6.0/#description) for pip download and use on the command line or as an inline Python package. Gaia Association can also be installed from GitHub at https://github.com/GreallyLab/gaiaAssociation. Contactjohn.greally@einsteinmed.edu

Matching journals

The top 5 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

50% of probability mass above

"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.
