ENCODE ChromBPNet Atlas

As part of the ENCODE 4 Project, we trained ChromBPNet models on 1,512 ENCODE DNAse-seq and ATAC-seq across 408 biosamples. Here, we provide all models for open-source use.

Instructions

1. Pseudocode for loading models in .h5 format

(1) Use the code in python after appropriately defining model_in_h5_format and inputs.
(2) inputs is a one hot encoded sequence of shape (N,2114,4). Here N corresponds to the number of tested sequences, 2114 is the input sequence length and 4 corresponds to [A,C,G,T].

import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.keras.utils import get_custom_objects
from tensorflow.keras.models import load_model

custom_objects={"tf": tf}
get_custom_objects().update(custom_objects)

model=load_model(model_in_h5_format,compile=False)
outputs = model(inputs)

The list outputs consists of two elements. The first element has a shape of (N, 1000) and contains logit predictions for a 1000-base-pair output. The second element, with a shape of (N, 1), contains logcount predictions. To transform these predictions into per-base signals, follow the provided pseudo code lines below.

import numpy as np

def softmax(x, temp=1):
    norm_x = x - np.mean(x,axis=1, keepdims=True)
    return np.exp(temp*norm_x)/np.sum(np.exp(temp*norm_x), axis=1, keepdims=True)
    
predictions = softmax(outputs[0]) * (np.exp(outputs[1])-1)

2. Pseudocode for loading models in .tar format

(1) First untar the directory as follows tar -xvf model.tar.
(2) Use the code below in python after appropriately defining model_dir_untared and inputs.
(3) inputs is a one hot encoded sequence of shape (N,2114,4). Here N corresponds to the number of tested sequences, 2114 is the input sequence length and 4 corresponds to ACGT.

Reference: https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/saved_model/load

import tensorflow as tf

model = tf.saved_model.load('model_dir_untared')
outputs = model.signatures['serving_default'](**{'sequence':inputs.astype('float32')})

The variable outputs represents a dictionary containing two key-value pairs. The first key is logits_profile_predictions, holding a value with a shape of (N, 1000). This value corresponds to logit predictions for a 1000-base-pair output. The second key, named `logcount_predictions``, is associated with a value of shape (N, 1), representing logcount predictions. To transform these predictions into per-base signals, utilize the provided pseudo code lines mentioned below.

import numpy as np
def softmax(x, temp=1):
    norm_x = x - np.mean(x,axis=1, keepdims=True)
    return np.exp(temp*norm_x)/np.sum(np.exp(temp*norm_x), axis=1, keepdims=True)
    
predictions = softmax(outputs["logits_profile_predictions"]) * (np.exp(outputs["logcount_predictions"])-1)
