Comparisons of Enhancers Associated Marks Prediction Using K-mer Feature

Epigenetic signatures such as chromatin and histone modification marks are prominent indicator of enhancer motif regions. While many works have been using k-mer as feature of epigenetic sequence, no comprehensive studies has been done to compare and contrast how the different choices of k-mers fe...
