Enhancers are non-coding DNA fragments with high position variability and free scattering. They play an important role in controlling gene expression. As machine learning has become more widely used in identifying enhancers, a number of bioinformatic tools have been developed. Although several models for identifying enhancers and their strengths have been proposed, their accuracy and efficiency have yet to be improved.
