BEHST

Description: BEHST reads a dataset of genomic regions, and intersects them with the chromatin interactions available in the Hi-C dataset (Rao et al, Cell, 2014). Of these genomic regions, BEHST selects those that are present in the regulatory regions of genes a dataset of principal isoform annotations. We defined these cis-regulatory regions upon the position of their nearest transcription start site of the genes' principal transcripts, plus an upstream and downstream extension. Afterwards, BEHST selects the genes of the resulting partner loci found in gene regulatory regions, and inserts them into g:Profiler. BEHST, finally, produces the list of the most significant Gene Ontology terms detected by g:Profiler.
