Abstract:

Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are widely applied in Genomes and Genomics. Genetic analysis often involves correctly labeling genetic regions: exons or introns and promoters or enhancer, etc. Nowadays, advances in sequencing technology allow researchers to combine many biological information, such as chromatin states, gene expression levels, and mitochondrial effects, which can aid to better understand underlying biological networks. For example, it is known that chromatin modification is associated with gene expression. Searching for the relationship, and segregating the genomic regions at the same time, we developed variant HMMs, in which observations have a (generalised) linear relationship. We conclude that a simulation study result, using a logistic regression model, is a promising approach to identify the hidden state(label).
