Enhancers are easier to predict in the adult stage than those in the fetal stage

(Bentham Science Publishers) Enhancers are short DNA regions that improve transcription efficiency by recruiting transcription factors. Identifying enhancer regions is important to understand the process of gene expression. In this paper, authors proposed a method based on support vector machines (SVMs) to investigate enhancer prediction on cell lines and tissues from EnhancerAtlas. Specifically, authors focused on predicting enhancers on different developmental stages of heart and lung tissues.
