It remains a challenging task to systematically infer how the cooperative binding of TFs drives gene activity. Here, we quantitatively analyzed the correlation between TFs and surveyed the TF interaction networks associated with gene expression in GM12878 and K562 cell lines. We identified six TF modules associated with gene expression in each cell line. Furthermore, according to the enrichment characteristics of TFs in these TF modules around a target gene, a convolutional neural network model, called TFCNN, was constructed to identify gene expression level. Results showed that the TFCNN model achieved a good prediction performance for gene expression. The average of the area under receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) can reach up to 0.975 and 0.976, respectively in GM12878 and K562 cell lines. By comparison, we found that the TFCNN model outperformed the prediction models based on SVM and LDA. This is due to the TFCNN model could better extract the combinatorial interaction among TFs. Further analysis indicated that the abundant binding of regulatory TFs dominates expression of target genes, while the cooperative interaction between TFs has a subtle regulatory effects. And gene expression could be regulated by different TF combinations in a nonlinear way. These results are helpful for deciphering the mechanism of TF combination regulating gene expression.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bib\/bbab501","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,9]],"date-time":"2021-11-09T20:15:04Z","timestamp":1636488904000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["A
