    Understanding the regulatory mechanisms of gene expression is a crucial objective in genomics. Although the DNA sequence near the transcription start site (TSS) offers valuable insights, recent methods suggest that analyzing only the surrounding DNA may not suffice to accurately predict gene expression levels. We developed GENet (Gene Expression Network from Histone and Transcription Factor Integration), a novel approach that integrates essential regulatory signals from transcription factors and histone modifications into a graph-based model. GENet extends beyond simple DNA sequence analysis by incorporating additional layers of genetic control, which are vital for determining gene expression. Our method markedly enhances the prediction of mRNA levels compared to previous models that depend solely on DNA sequence data. The results underscore the significance of including comprehensive regulatory information in gene expression studies. GENet emerges as a promising tool for researchers, with potential applications extending from fundamental biological research to the development of medical therapies.
