Cell differentiation by direct reprogramming is determined by two types of transcription factors (TFs): pioneer factors (PFs) and cooperative TFs. PFs have the distinct ability to open chromatin aggregations, assemble a collective of cooperative TFs and activate gene expression. The experimental determination of two types of TFs is extremely difficult and costly.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this study, we developed a novel computational method, TRANSDIRE (TRANS-omics-based approach for DIrect REprogramming), to predict the TFs that induce direct reprogramming in various human cell types using multiple omics data. In the algorithm, potential PFs were predicted based on low signal chromatin regions, and the cooperative TFs were predicted through a trans-omics analysis of genomic data (e.g. enhancers), transcriptome data (e.g. gene expression profiles in human cells), epigenome data (e.g. chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing data) and interactome data. We applied the proposed methods to the reconstruction of TFs that induce direct reprogramming from fibroblasts to six other cell types: hepatocytes, cartilaginous cells, neurons, cardiomyocytes, pancreatic cells and Paneth cells. We demonstrated that the methods successfully predicted TFs for most cell conversions with high accuracy. Thus, the proposed methods are expected to be useful for various practical applications in regenerative medicine.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title><jats:p>The source code and data are available at the following website: http:\/\/figshare.com\/s\/b653781a5b9e6639972b<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title><jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btac209","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,12]],"date-time":"2022-04-12T13:25:25Z","timestamp":1649769925000},"page":"2839-2846","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["TRANSDIRE: data-driven direct reprogramming by a pioneer factor-guided trans-omics approach"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7387-7562","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ryohei","family":"Eguchi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioscience and Bioinformatics, Faculty of Computer Science and Systems Engineering, Kyushu Institute of Technology , Fukuoka 820-8502, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8752-7053","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Momoko","family":"Hamano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioscience and Bioinformatics, Faculty of Computer Science and Systems Engineering, Kyushu Institute of Technology , Fukuoka 820-8502, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6500-4692","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michio","family":"Iwata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioscience and Bioinformatics, Faculty of Computer Science and Systems Engineering, Kyushu Institute of Technology , Fukuoka 820-8502, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toru","family":"Nakamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioscience and Bioinformatics, Faculty of Computer Science and Systems Engineering, Kyushu Institute of Technology , Fukuoka 820-8502, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4767-3259","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shinya","family":"Oki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Drug Discovery Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University , Kyoto 606-8507, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2279-8773","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yoshihiro","family":"Yamanishi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioscience and Bioinformatics, Faculty of Computer Science and Systems Engineering, Kyushu Institute of Technology , Fukuoka 820-8502, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020109134644500_btac209-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"D760","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/gkl887","article-title":"NCBI GEO: mining tens of millions of expression profiles\u2013database and tools update","volume":"35","author":"Barrett","year":"2007","journal-title":"Nucleic Acids Res"},{"key":"2023020109134644500_btac209-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1045","DOI":"10.1038\/nbt1010-1045","article-title":"The NIH roadmap epigenomics mapping consortium","volume":"28","author":"Bernstein","year":"2010","journal-title":"Nat.
