摘要:With the development of sequencing technology and the dramatic drop in sequencing cost, the functions of noncoding genes are being
characterized in a wide variety of fields (e.g. biomedicine). Enhancers are noncoding DNA elements with vital transcription regulation
functions. Tens of thousands of enhancers have been identified in the human genome; however, the location, function, target genes
and regulatory mechanisms of most enhancers have not been elucidated thus far. As high-throughput sequencing techniques have
leapt forwards, omics approaches have been extensively employed in enhancer research. Multidimensional genomic data integration
enables the full exploration of the data and provides novel perspectives for screening, identification and characterization of the function
and regulatory mechanisms of unknown enhancers. However, multidimensional genomic data are still difficult to integrate genome
wide due to complex varieties, massive amounts, high rarity, etc. To facilitate the appropriate methods for studying enhancers with
high efficacy, we delineate the principles, data processing modes and progress of various omics approaches to study enhancers and
summarize the applications of traditional machine learning and deep learning in multi-omics integration in the enhancer field. In
addition, the challenges encountered during the integration of multiple omics data are addressed. Overall, this review provides a
comprehensive foundation for enhancer analysis.
