Deep learning methods have demonstrated great performance for RNA secondary structure prediction. However, generalizability is a common unsolved issue on unseen out-of-distribution RNA families, which hinders further improvement of the accuracy and r...
Rare tautomeric forms of nucleobases can lead to Watson-Crick-like (WC-like) mispairs in DNA, but the process of proton transfer is fast and difficult to detect experimentally. NMR studies show evidence for the existence of short-time WC-like guanine...
Deep learning is a class of machine learning techniques capable of creating internal representation of data without explicit preprogramming. Hence, in addition to practical applications, it is of interest to analyze what features of biological data m...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ~ 22 nucleotide ubiquitous gene regulators. They modulate a broad range of essential cellular processes linked to human health and diseases. Consequently, identifying miRNA targets and understanding how they function are critic...
Base editors are chimeric ribonucleoprotein complexes consisting of a DNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas module and a single-stranded DNA deaminase. They enable transition of C•G into T•A base pairs and vice versa on genomic DNA. While base editors have great ...

Double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) has been established as an efficient medium for charge migration, bringing it to the forefront of the field of molecular electronics and biological research. The charge migration rate is controlled by the electronic coupli...
BACKGROUND: There are many different types of microRNAs (miRNAs) and elucidating their functions is still under intensive research. A fundamental step in functional annotation of a new miRNA is to classify it into characterized miRNA families, such a...
BACKGROUND: RNA secondary structure prediction is an important issue in structural bioinformatics, and RNA pseudoknotted secondary structure prediction represents an NP-hard problem. Recently, many different machine-learning methods, Markov models, a...
The majority of our human genome transcribes into noncoding RNAs with unknown structures and functions. Obtaining functional clues for noncoding RNAs requires accurate base-pairing or secondary-structure prediction. However, the performance of such p...
The detection of uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) activity is pivotal for its biochemical studies and the development of drugs for UDG-related diseases. Here, we explored an integrated DNA structure switch for high sensitive detection of UDG activity. Th...
