The effectiveness of deep learning methods can be largely attributed to the automated extraction of relevant features from raw data. In the field of functional genomics, this generally concerns the automatic selection of relevant nucleotide motifs fr...
As consequence of the various genomic sequencing projects, an increasing volume of biological sequence data is being produced. Although machine learning algorithms have been successfully applied to a large number of genomic sequence-related problems,...
The exploration of three-dimensional chromatin interaction and organization provides insight into mechanisms underlying gene regulation, cell differentiation and disease development. Advances in chromosome conformation capture technologies, such as h...
Sequence-based analysis and prediction are fundamental bioinformatic tasks that facilitate understanding of the sequence(-structure)-function paradigm for DNAs, RNAs and proteins. Rapid accumulation of sequences requires equally pervasive development...
DNA N6-methyladenine (6mA) represents important epigenetic modifications, which are responsible for various cellular processes. The accurate identification of 6mA sites is one of the challenging tasks in genome analysis, which leads to an understandi...

We report a step-by-step protocol to use pysster, a TensorFlow-based package for building deep neural networks on a broad range of epistatic sequences such as DNA, RNA, or annotated secondary structure sequences. Pysster provides users comprehensive ...
Nucleotide variants can cause functional changes by altering protein-RNA binding in various ways that are not easy to predict. This can affect processes such as splicing, nuclear shuttling, and stability of the transcript. Therefore, correct modeling...
MOTIVATION: Dihydrouridine (D) is a common RNA post-transcriptional modification found in eukaryotes, bacteria and a few archaea. The modification can promote the conformational flexibility of individual nucleotide bases. And its levels are increased...
