Designs novel molecules using REINVENT 4 (de novo, scaffold decoration, linker design, R-group, molecular optimization), MolMIM, Diffusion-based generators (DiGress, DiffSMol), and JT-VAE with explicit handling of multi-parameter optimization (MPO), goal-directed scoring functions, transfer/reinforcement/curriculum learning, synthetic accessibility scoring, and chemical space exploration vs exploitation. Use when designing new chemical matter against a target, decorating a scaffold, linking fragments, or optimizing a hit for multiple ADMET / activity properties simultaneously.
Segments the genome into chromatin states from combinatorial histone modification and chromatin factor ChIP-seq data. Uses ChromHMM (multivariate HMM on binarized signal, v1.27), Segway (Dynamic Bayesian Network on continuous signal), EpiSegMix (flexible-distribution HMM with duration modeling, 2024), EpiLogos (multi-biosample visualization), IDEAS (cell-type-aware joint), and full-stack ChromHMM (Vu Ernst 2022) for cross-cell-type segmentations. Handles state-count selection (15 vs 18 vs 25 states), binarization choice, OverlapEnrichment / NeighborhoodEnrichment downstream analysis, and cross-biosample integration. Use when learning chromatin states from a histone mark panel, characterizing learned states by genomic feature enrichment, or comparing chromatin landscapes across cell types.
Implements multiplicity control for confirmatory clinical trials using graphical procedures (Bretz-Maurer-Hommel), gatekeeping (parallel, serial, mixed), Hochberg/Hommel/Holm with PRDS, and the closed-testing principle (Marcus-Peritz-Gabriel; Goeman 2021 admissibility). Covers FDA Multiple Endpoints Final Guidance (October 2022), graphical procedures via R gMCP, primary + key-secondary + subgroup hierarchies, and FWER vs FDR distinction. Use when designing the multiplicity strategy for confirmatory trials with multiple primary or key secondary endpoints.
Estimate bivariate genetic correlation (rg) between traits from GWAS summary statistics or individual-level genotypes using cross-trait LDSC, HDL, LAVA, rho-HESS, GREML-bivariate, Popcorn, and HDL-L. Use when quantifying shared genetic architecture between two traits, screening MR validity before causal inference, distinguishing global from locus-level rg, estimating trans-ancestry rg, separating partial from full causation via LCV gcp, or producing a STROBE-MR-compliant cross-trait sensitivity battery. Cross-trait LDSC intercept absorbs sample overlap and is NOT a bias; HDL is biased under sample overlap above ~5%. High rg between exposure and outcome motivates CHP-aware MR sensitivity (CAUSE, LHC-MR).

Use when characterizing nucleosome organization at promoters and enhancers, calling +1/-1 nucleosomes flanking NFRs, generating V-plots for chromatin structure visualization, or comparing nucleosome positioning between conditions.
Detect allele-specific chromatin accessibility from ATAC-seq using WASP, GATK ASEReadCounter, or RASQUAL. Use when mapping cis-regulatory genetic variants from heterozygous SNPs, separating cis from trans regulation, building chromatin QTL (caQTL) maps, validating GWAS variant function with allelic imbalance, or detecting reference allele mapping bias before downstream analysis.

The statistical model is fundamentally different from differential splicing — single-sample-vs-cohort outlier detection rather than two-group comparison. Standard tool in EU rare-disease (Solve-RD) and NIH UDN programs. Use when applying RNA-seq to undiagnosed Mendelian disease, validating predicted splice variants in clinical samples, or detecting cryptic splicing in disease tissue.
