| # AllenInstitute/BG-macaque-dilatedCNN | |
| Dilated CNN trained on macaque (*Macaca mulatta*) basal ganglia chromatin accessibility across 58 cell-type tracks. Part of the DNA sequence-modeling resources for the basal ganglia cell atlas. Published in [Johansen, Fu et al., 2025](https://doi.org/10.64898/2025.12.15.694496). | |
| ### Background | |
| Learns cis-regulatory sequence logic underlying basal ganglia cell-type specialization from snATAC-seq accessibility profiles. Use it to score candidate enhancers, run in silico mutagenesis, or guide cell-type-specific sequence design. | |
| ### Availability | |
| Currently private. RegRex (formerly `enhancer-designer`) is an internal Allen Institute tool with a public release planned. For early access contact Kasia Kedzierska (kasia.kedzierska@alleninstitute.org). | |
