DeepTACT: predicting 3D chromatin contacts via bootstrapping deep learning.

Nucleic acids research
Interactions between regulatory elements are of crucial importance for the understanding of transcriptional regulation and the interpretation of disease mechanisms. Hi-C technique has been developed for genome-wide detection of chromatin contacts. Ho...

SuperCT: a supervised-learning framework for enhanced characterization of single-cell transcriptomic profiles.

Nucleic acids research
Characterization of individual cell types is fundamental to the study of multicellular samples. Single-cell RNAseq techniques, which allow high-throughput expression profiling of individual cells, have significantly advanced our ability of this task....

DriverML: a machine learning algorithm for identifying driver genes in cancer sequencing studies.

Nucleic acids research
Although rapid progress has been made in computational approaches for prioritizing cancer driver genes, research is far from achieving the ultimate goal of discovering a complete catalog of genes truly associated with cancer. Driver gene lists predic...

WHISTLE: a high-accuracy map of the human N6-methyladenosine (m6A) epitranscriptome predicted using a machine learning approach.

Nucleic acids research
N 6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent post-transcriptional modification in eukaryotes, and plays a pivotal role in various biological processes, such as splicing, RNA degradation and RNA-protein interaction. We report here a prediction fram...

EnsembleCNV: an ensemble machine learning algorithm to identify and genotype copy number variation using SNP array data.

Nucleic acids research
The associations between diseases/traits and copy number variants (CNVs) have not been systematically investigated in genome-wide association studies (GWASs), primarily due to a lack of robust and accurate tools for CNV genotyping. Herein, we propose...

ME-Class2 reveals context dependent regulatory roles for 5-hydroxymethylcytosine.

Nucleic acids research
Since the discovery of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) as a prominent DNA modification found in mammalian genomes, an emergent question has been what role this mark plays in gene regulation. 5hmC is hypothesized to function as an intermediate in the d...

Deep repeat resolution-the assembly of the Drosophila Histone Complex.

Nucleic acids research
Though the advent of long-read sequencing technologies has led to a leap in contiguity of de novo genome assemblies, current reference genomes of higher organisms still do not provide unbroken sequences of complete chromosomes. Despite reads in exces...

canSAR: update to the cancer translational research and drug discovery knowledgebase.

Nucleic acids research
canSAR (http://cansar.icr.ac.uk) is a public, freely available, integrative translational research and drug discovery knowlegebase. canSAR informs researchers to help solve key bottlenecks in cancer translation and drug discovery. It integrates genom...

Expansion of the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) knowledge base and resources.

Nucleic acids research
The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO)-a standardized vocabulary of phenotypic abnormalities associated with 7000+ diseases-is used by thousands of researchers, clinicians, informaticians and electronic health record systems around the world. Its detaile...

ECO, the Evidence & Conclusion Ontology: community standard for evidence information.

Nucleic acids research
The Evidence and Conclusion Ontology (ECO) contains terms (classes) that describe types of evidence and assertion methods. ECO terms are used in the process of biocuration to capture the evidence that supports biological assertions (e.g. gene product...
