Objectives
1 To test and improve Logic-Stage for identifying TF logics in regulating target genes during different biological stages. 2 To analyze the effect of TF binding- regulatory GV interactions on gene regulation, apply this interaction to our framework to identify target genes of TF logics 3 To experimentally and functionally validate the predicted TF logics targets in HNSCC tissues and cell lines
