BindVAE: Dirichlet variational autoencoders for de novo motif discovery from accessible chromatin

Abstract We present a novel unsupervised deep learning approach called BindVAE, based on Dirichlet variational autoencoders, for jointly decoding multiple TF binding signals from open chromatin regions. BindVAE can disentangle an input DNA sequence into distinct latent factors that encode cell-type...
