Stanford trains ProCapNet on 200+ ENCODE PRO-cap datasets to map human transcription initiation

anshulkundaje · x · 2026-11-07

The first paper from a Stanford Kundaje-lab postdoc, on bioRxiv: ProCapNet models trained on all ENCODE PRO-cap experiments (200+ datasets) spanning every major human organ and many cancer types. The models accurately predict transcription initiation patterns from local DNA sequence and decode their sequence determinants across cellular contexts; weights and data are open-sourced on Hugging Face (procap-atlas collection).
