Gene transcription is controlled and modulated by regulatory regions, including enhancers and promoters. These regions are abundant in unstable, non-coding bidirectional transcription. Using nascent RNA transcription data across hundreds of human samples, we identified over 800,000 regions containing bidirectional transcription. We then identify highly correlated transcription between bidirectional and gene regions. The identified correlated pairs, a bidirectional region and a gene, are enriched for disease associated SNPs and often supported by independent 3D data. We present these resources as an SQL database which serves as a resource for future studies into gene regulation, enhancer associated RNAs, and transcription factors.

"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.
