人类基因组中仅约2%的序列编码蛋白质,其余非编码区域(尤其是增强子等调控元件)富含疾病相关突变,但其功能机制仍存在大量未知。本课题组利用人工智能、单细胞多组学和基因编辑等前沿交叉学科技术,解析增强子在发育和疾病中的作用和机制。主要包括:(1)干实验:开发生物信息学算法,整合多组学数据,构建增强子研究的方法学体系;(2)湿实验:结合单细胞多组学和CRISPR高通量筛选等平台,揭示增强子对基因表达的调控机制;(3)临床合作:与临床团队紧密合作,利用“大数据+AI”探索临床实践中的科学问题(血液肿瘤的诊断、治疗、预后和病因等)。
Only about 2% of the human genome encodes proteins, while the remaining non-coding regions (particularly regulatory elements such as enhancers) are enriched with disease-associated mutations, yet their function and mechanisms remain largely unknown. Our research group employs cutting-edge interdisciplinary technologies, including artificial intelligence, single-cell multi-omics, and gene editing, to investigate the roles and mechanisms of enhancers in development and diseases, especially hematologic malignancies. The research primarily includes: (1) Dry lab: developing bioinformatics algorithms and integrating multi-omics data to establish a methodological framework for enhancer studies; (2) Wet lab: utilizing single-cell multi-omics and CRISPR high-throughput screening platforms to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of enhancers on gene expression; (3) Clinical collaboration: working closely with clinical teams to explore scientific questions in clinical practice (e.g. diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and mechanism of hematologic malignancies) using "big data + AI" technologies.
