Small proteins (≤100 amino acids) play important roles across all life forms, ranging from unicellular bacteria to higher organisms. In this study, we have developed SProtFP which is a machine learning-based method for functional annotation of prokar...
BACKGROUND: Accurate classification of host phenotypes from microbiome data is crucial for advancing microbiome-based therapies, with machine learning offering effective solutions. However, the complexity of the gut microbiome, data sparsity, composi...

BACKGROUND: Yin-deficiency constitution (YinDC) refers to a traditional Chinese medicine concept, characterized by an imbalance state that includes an imbalance in the gut microbiota, resulting from a relative deficiency of Yin fluids within the body...
Pathogenic bacteria are the source of many serious health problems, such as foodborne diseases and hospital infections. Timely and accurate detection of these pathogens is of vital significance for disease prevention, control of epidemic spread, and ...
Analyzing microbial samples remains computationally challenging due to their diversity and complexity. The lack of robust de novo protein function prediction methods exacerbates the difficulty in deriving functional insights from these samples. Tradi...
Microalgal-bacteria biofilm shows great potential in low-cost greywater treatment. Accurately predicting treated greywater quality is of great significance for water reuse. In this work, machine learning models were developed for simulating and predi...
Reduced bacteria concentrations in wastewater is a key indicator of the efficacy of water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs). However, monitoring the presence of bacterial concentrations in real time at each stage of the WRRF is challenging as it r...
Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) poses significant environmental risks, and identifying HBCD-degrading microbes and their enzymatic mechanisms is challenging due to the complexity of microbial interactions and metabolic pathways. This study aimed to ide...
The human microbiome, the community of microorganisms that reside on and inside the human body, is critically important for health and disease. However, it is influenced by various factors and may vary among individuals residing in distinct geographi...
Sex differences in the gut microbiome have been examined previously, but results are inconsistent, often due to small sample sizes. We investigated sex and menopausal differences in the gut microbiome in a large multi-ethnic population cohort study, ...
