    Current sequence-based models capture gene expression determinants in promoters but mostly ignore distal enhancers

    The largest sequence-based models of transcription control to date are obtained by predicting genome-wide gene regulatory assays across the human genome. This setting is fundamentally correlative, as those mod...
