    Abstract Natural and experimental genetic variants can modify DNA loops and insulating boundaries to tune transcription, but it is unknown how sequence perturbations affect chromatin organization genome wide. We developed a deep-learning strategy to quantify the effect of any insertion, deletion, or substitution on chromatin contacts and systematically scored millions of synthetic variants. While most genetic manipulations have little impact, regions with CTCF motifs and active transcription are highly sensitive, as expected. Our unbiased screen and subsequent targeted experiments also point to noncoding RNA genes and several families of repetitive elements as CTCF-motif-free DNA sequences with particularly large effects on nearby chromatin interactions, sometimes exceeding the effects of CTCF sites and explaining interactions that lack CTCF. We anticipate that our disruption tracks may be of broad interest and utility as a measure of 3D genome sensitivity, and our computational strategies may serve as a template for biological inquiry with deep learning.

    Abstract The investigation of chromatin organization in single cells holds great promise for identifying causal relationships between genome structure and function. However, analysis of single-molecule data is hampered by extreme yet inherent heterogeneity, making it challenging to determine the contributions of individual chromatin fibers to bulk trends. To address this challenge, we propose ChromaFactor, a novel computational approach based on non-negative matrix factorization that deconvolves single-molecule chromatin organization datasets into their most salient primary components. ChromaFactor provides the ability to identify trends accounting for the maximum variance in the dataset while simultaneously describing the contribution of individual molecules to each component. Applying our approach to two single-molecule imaging datasets across different genomic scales, we find that these primary components demonstrate significant correlation with key functional phenotypes, including active transcription, enhancer-promoter distance, and genomic compartment. ChromaFactor offers a robust tool for understanding the complex interplay between chromatin structure and function on individual DNA molecules, pinpointing which subpopulations drive functional changes and fostering new insights into cellular heterogeneity and its implications for bulk genomic phenomena.

    Abstract Chemical probes interrogate disease mechanisms at the molecular level by linking genetic changes to observable traits. However, comprehensive chemical screens in diverse biological models are impractical. To address this challenge, we developed ChemProbe, a model that predicts cellular sensitivity to hundreds of molecular probes and drugs by learning to combine transcriptomes and chemical structures. Using ChemProbe, we inferred the chemical sensitivity of cancer cell lines and tumor samples and analyzed how the model makes predictions. We retrospectively evaluated drug response predictions for precision breast cancer treatment and prospectively validated chemical sensitivity predictions in new cellular models, including a genetically modified cell line. Our model interpretation analysis identified transcriptome features reflecting compound targets and protein network modules, identifying genes that drive ferroptosis. ChemProbe is an interpretable

    Abstract In this work, we introduce AutoFragDiff, a fragment-based autoregressive diffusion model for generating 3D molecular structures conditioned on target protein structures. We employ geometric vector perceptrons to predict atom types and spatial coordinates of new molecular fragments conditioned on molecular scaffolds and protein pockets. Our approach improves the local geometry of the resulting 3D molecules while maintaining high predicted binding affinity to protein targets. The model can also perform scaffold extension from user-provided starting molecular scaffold.

    Abstract The three-dimensional shape and conformation of small-molecule ligands are critical for biomolecular recognition, yet encoding 3D geometry has not improved ligand-based virtual screening approaches. We describe an end-to-end deep learning approach that operates directly on small-molecule conformational ensembles and identifies key conformational poses of small-molecules. Our networks leverage two levels of representation learning: 1) individual conformers are first encoded as spatial graphs using a graph neural network, and 2) sampled conformational ensembles are represented as sets using an attention mechanism to aggregate over individual instances. We demonstrate the feasibility of this approach on a simple task based on bidentate coordination of biaryl ligands, and show how attention-based pooling can elucidate key conformational poses in tasks based on molecular geometry. This work illustrates how set-based learning approaches may be further developed for small molecule-based virtual screening.

    Abstract New machine learning methods to analyze raw chemical and biological data are now widely accessible as open-source toolkits. This positions researchers to leverage powerful, predictive models in their own domains. We caution, however, that the application of machine learning to experimental research merits careful consideration. Machine learning algorithms readily exploit confounding variables and experimental artifacts instead of relevant patterns, leading to overoptimistic performance and poor model generalization. In parallel to the strong control experiments that remain a cornerstone of experimental research, we advance the concept of adversarial controls for scientific machine learning: the design of exacting and purposeful experiments to ensure that predictive performance arises from meaningful models.

    Abstract Multitask deep neural networks learn to predict ligand-target binding by example, yet public pharmacological data sets are sparse, imbalanced, and approximate. We constructed two hold-out benchmarks to approximate temporal and drug-screening test scenarios, whose characteristics differ from a random split of conventional training data sets. We developed a pharmacological data set augmentation procedure, Stochastic Negative Addition (SNA), which randomly assigns untested molecule-target pairs as transient negative examples during training.

    Abstract Melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of skin cancer, causing a large proportion of skin cancer deaths. However, melanoma diagnoses by pathologists shows low interrater reliability. As melanoma is a cancer of the melanocyte, there is a clear need to develop a melanocytic cell segmentation tool that is agnostic to pathologist variability and automates pixel-level annotation. Gigapixel-level pathologist labeling, however, is impractical. Herein, we propose a means to train deep neural networks for melanocytic cell segmentation from hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained sections and paired immunohistochemistry (IHC) of adjacent tissue sections, achieving a mean IOU of 0.64 despite imperfect ground-truth labels.
