Hidden Markov Models Predict Epigenetic Chromatin Domains

Epigenetics is an important layer of transcriptional control necessary for cell-type specific gene regulation. We developed computational methods to analyze the combinatorial effect and large-scale organizations of genome-wide distributions of epigenetic marks. Throughout this dissertation, we sho...
