Blood cell development is thought to be controlled by a circuit of transcription factors (TFs) and chromatin modifications that determine the cell fate through activating cell type-specific expression programs. To shed light on the interplay between histone marks and TFs during blood cell development, we model gene expression from regulatory signals by means of combinations of sparse linear regression models.
