Transposable elements (TEs) are repetitive nucleotide sequences that make up a large portion of eukaryotic genomes. They can move and duplicate within a genome, increasing genome size and contributing to genetic diversity within and across species. A...
Sequence based DNA-binding protein (DBP) prediction is a widely studied biological problem. Sliding windows on position specific substitution matrices (PSSMs) rows predict DNA-binding residues well on known DBPs but the same models cannot be applied ...

Meiotic crossovers facilitate chromosome segregation and create new combinations of alleles in gametes. Crossover frequency varies along chromosomes and crossover interference limits the coincidence of closely spaced crossovers. Crossovers can be mea...
Recent advances in genomic technologies have generated data on large-scale protein-DNA interactions and open chromatin regions for many eukaryotic species. How to identify condition-specific functions of transcription factors using these data has bec...

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of plant steroid hormones involved in regulating growth, development, and stress responses. Many components of the BR pathway have previously been identified and characterized. However, BR phenotyping experiments ar...
BACKGROUND: Proteins are the workforce of the cell and their phosphorylation status tailors specific responses efficiently. One of the main challenges of phosphoproteomic approaches is to deconvolute biological processes that specifically respond to ...

Trichomes are unicellular or multicellular hair-like appendages developed on the aerial plant epidermis of most plant species that act as a protective barrier against natural hazards. For this reason, evaluating the density of trichomes is a valuable...
Protein ubiquitination is a critical post-translational modification (PTM) involved in diverse biological processes and plays a pivotal role in regulating physiological mechanisms and disease states. Despite various efforts to develop ubiquitination ...
The organization of subcellular components in a cell is critical for its function and studying cellular processes, protein-protein interactions, identifying potential drug targets, network analysis, and other systems biology mechanisms. Determining p...
