FOCS: a novel method for analyzing enhancer and gene activity patterns infers an extensive enhancer–promoter map

Abstract Recent sequencing technologies enable joint quantification of promoters and their enhancer regions, allowing inference of enhancer–promoter links. We show that current enhancer–promoter inference methods produce a high rate of false positive links. We introduce FOCS, a new inference method,...
