Spec-seq: determining protein-DNA-binding specificity by sequencing.

abstract：:Omics, such as genomics, transcriptome and proteomics, has been affected by the era of big data. A huge amount of high dimensional and complex structured data has made it no longer applicable for conventional machine learning algorithms. Fortunately, deep learning technology can contribute toward resolving these chall...
