Context

The goal of creating a training dataset from Aracena et al. data is to use it for actual modeling purposes. There are a variety of ways to do this, with the longer term goal being that of fine-tuning Enformer style models. Before doing that, however, I will try simpler approaches. The first approach I will try is to take Enformer target predictions for different genomic regions and use these as feature inputs into a model predicting the corresponding Aracena targets. For maximum simplicity, I will start with reference predictions as inputs during training
