其中为了计算基因表达和open chromatin regions (OCRs)的关系,interaction scores were calculated by comparing the expression level of each gene with the chromatin accessibility of each OCR located within ±250 kb of the transcription start site (TSS)。然后对OCRs进一步聚类分析得到4个子类,对子类的富集和motif进行分析,得到每个亚类主要的生物学功能和motif(分析软件HOMER),进一步识别关键基因的增强子,由此判断不同亚类的生物学变化。
