Description

Shen and co-authors present HTAD, a tool that finds chromatin domains with human help. These domains, called TADs, are core units of genome folding that shape gene control and disease risk. Automated finders struggle with noisy backgrounds and domains nested inside larger domains.

HTAD mixes machine learning with expert guidance to raise accuracy. It first extracts features for candidate border pairs in the genome. An active learning loop then asks humans to label the most useful cases, refining the model step by step. The result is a supervised caller that learns from both data and expert judgment.
