Heterogeneous ensembles are an effective approach in scenarios where the ideal data type and/or individual predictor are unclear for a given problem. These ensembles have shown promise for protein function prediction (PFP), but their ability to impro...
Antibiotics of β-lactam class account for nearly half of the global antibiotic use. The β-lactamase enzyme is a major element of the bacterial arsenals to escape the lethal effect of β-lactam antibiotics. Different variants of β-lactamases have evolv...
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,...
Malonylation is a recently discovered post-translational modification (PTM) in which a malonyl group attaches to a lysine (K) amino acid residue of a protein. In this work, a novel machine learning model, SPRINT-Mal, is developed to predict malonylat...
Emerging pathogens are a major threat to public health, however understanding how pathogens adapt to new niches remains a challenge. New methods are urgently required to provide functional insights into pathogens from the massive genomic data sets no...

Gram-negative bacterial secreted proteins play different roles in invaded eukaryotic cells and cause various diseases. Prediction of Gram-negative bacterial secreted protein types is a meaningful and challenging task. In this paper, we develop a mult...
Determining subcellular localization of proteins is considered as an important step towards understanding their functions. Previous studies have mainly focused solely on Gene Ontology (GO) as the main feature to tackle this problem. However, it was s...
