The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a term for all gene groups of a major histocompatibility antigen. It binds to peptide chains derived from pathogens and displays pathogens on the cell surface to facilitate T-cell recognition and perform ...
Understanding the function of human proteins is essential to decipher the molecular mechanisms of human diseases and phenotypes. Of the 17 470 human protein coding genes in the neXtProt 2018-01-17 database with unequivocal protein existence evidence ...
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) facilitate the transport of pharmacologically active molecules, such as plasmid DNA, short interfering RNA, nanoparticles, and small peptides. The accurate identification of new and unique CPPs is the initial step to ...
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) can enter cells as a variety of biologically active conjugates and have various biomedical applications. To offset the cost and effort of designing novel CPPs in laboratories, computational methods are necessitated to...
In synthetic biology, one of the key focuses is building a minimal artificial cell which can provide basic chassis for functional study. Recently, the J. Craig Venter Institute published the latest version of the minimal bacterial genome JCVI-syn3.0,...
Percolator is an important tool for greatly improving the results of a database search and subsequent downstream analysis. Using support vector machines (SVMs), Percolator recalibrates peptide-spectrum matches based on the learned decision boundary b...
Metabolomics holds the promise as a new technology to diagnose highly heterogeneous diseases. Conventionally, metabolomics data analysis for diagnosis is done using various statistical and machine learning based classification methods. However, it re...
The objectives of this study were to determine alterations in the serum metabolites related to amino acid (AA), carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism in transition dairy cows before diagnosis of subclinical mastitis (SCM), during, and after diagnosis of...
A central problem in mass spectrometry analysis involves identifying, for each observed tandem mass spectrum, the corresponding generating peptide. We present a dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) toolkit that addresses this problem by using a machine lea...
