Abstract

MOTIVATION: Protein-RNA interactions play essential roles in many biological processes, including pre-mRNA processing, post-transcriptional gene regulation and RNA degradation. Accurate identification of binding sites on RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) is important for functional annotation and site-directed mutagenesis. Experimental assays to sparse RBPs are precise and convincing but also costly and time consuming. Therefore, flexible and reliable computational methods are required to recognize RNA-binding residues.
