Abstract

BACKGROUND: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate diverse biological processes via interactions with proteins. Since the experimental methods to identify these interactions are expensive and time-consuming, many computational methods have been proposed. Although these computational methods have achieved promising prediction performance, they neglect the fact that a gene may encode multiple protein isoforms and different isoforms of the same gene may interact differently with the same lncRNA.
