Abstract

BackgroundChromatin loops are critical for the three-dimensional organization of the genome and gene regulation. Accurate identification of chromatin loops is essential for understanding the regulatory mechanisms in disease. However, current mainstream detection methods rely primarily on single-source data, such as Hi-C, which limits these methods' ability to capture the diverse features of chromatin loop structures. In contrast, multi-source data integration and deep learning approaches, though not yet widely applied, hold significant potential.ResultsIn this study, we developed a method called DconnLoop to integrate Hi-C, ChIP-seq, and ATAC-seq data to predict chromatin loops. This method achieves feature extraction and fusion of multi-source data by integrating residual mechanisms, directional connectivity excitation modules, and interactive feature space decoders. Finally, we apply density estimation and density clustering to the genome-wide prediction results to identify more representative loops. The code is available from https://github.com/kuikui-C/DconnLoop.ConclusionsThe results demonstrate that DconnLoop outperforms existing methods in both precision and recall. In various experiments, including Aggregate Peak Analysis and peak enrichment comparisons, DconnLoop consistently shows advantages. Extensive ablation studies and validation across different sequencing depths further confirm DconnLoop's robustness and generalizability.
