Self-organizing maps with variable neighborhoods facilitate learning of chromatin accessibility signal shapes associated with regulatory elements

Abstract Background Assigning chromatin states genome-wide (e.g. promoters, enhancers, etc.) is commonly performed to improve functional interpretation of these states. However, computational methods to assign chromatin state suffer from the following drawbacks: they typically require data from mult...
