Understanding relationships between epigenetic marks and their application to robust assignment of chromatin states.

ABSTRACT: Structural changes of chromatin modulate access to DNA for the molecular machinery involved in the control of transcription. These changes are linked to variations in epigenetic marks that allow to classify chromatin in different functional states depending on the pattern of these histone marks. Importantly, alterations in chromatin states are known to be linked with various diseases, and their changes are known to explain processes such as cellular proliferation. For most of the available samples, there are not enough epigenomic data available to accurately determine chromatin states for the cells affected in each of them. This is mainly due to high costs of performing this type of experiments but also because of lack of a sufficient amount of sample or its degradation. In this work, we d
