The domains are stable across different cell types and highly conserved across species, thus these chromatin domains have been considered as the basic units of chromosome folding and regarded as an important secondary structure in chromosome organization. However, the identification of TAD boundaries is still a great challenge due to the high cost and low resolution of Hi-C data or experiments. In this study, we propose a novel ensemble learning framework, termed as StackTADB, for predicting the boundaries of TADs. StackTADB integrates four base classifiers including Random Forest, Logistic Regression, K-NearestNeighbor and Support Vector Machine. From the analysis of a series of examinations on the data set in the previous study, it is concluded that StackTADB has optimal performance in six metrics, AUC, Accuracy, MCC, Precision, Recall and F1 score, and it is superior to the existing methods. In addition, the comparison of the performance of multiple features shows that Kmers-based features play an essential role in predicting TADs boundaries of fruit flies, and we also apply the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) framework to interpret the predictions of StackTADB to identify the reason why Kmers-based features are vital. The experimental results show that the subsequences matching the BEAF-32 motif play a crucial role in predicting the boundaries of TADs.
