DeepPBMC#

The DeepPBMC model is a peak regression model trained to predict genomic region accessibility over seven cell types from human PBMC data.

The model is pre-trained on a set of 278K consensus peaks, followed by fine-tuning on 51K cell type-specific peaks.

The model is a CNN multiclass regression model using the dilated_cnn() architecture.

Details of the data and the model can be found in the original publication.
