High-throughput sequencing technologies have revolutionized the study of transcription across cell types and many biological phenomena. Brash et al. have developed a resource based on 240 endothelial bulk RNA-sequencing datasets that uses machine learning to predict whether a gene is the product of leaky or active transcription.
