Predicting the functional sites of a protein from its structure, such as the binding sites of small molecules, other proteins or antibodies, sheds light on its function in vivo. Currently, two classes of methods prevail: machine learning models built...
Protein-ligand interactions are increasingly profiled at high throughput using affinity selection and massively parallel sequencing. However, these assays do not provide the biophysical parameters that most rigorously quantify molecular interactions....
Prediction of protein-ligand binding affinity is a major goal in drug discovery. Generally, free energy gap is calculated between two states (e.g., ligand binding and unbinding). The energy gap implicitly includes the effects of changes in protein dy...

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have crucial roles in various cellular processes such as alternative splicing and gene regulation. Therefore, the analysis and identification of RBPs is an essential issue. However, although many computational methods have...
With the accumulation of ChIP-seq data, convolution neural network (CNN)-based methods have been proposed for predicting transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs). However, biological experimental data are noisy, and are often treated as ground trut...

Deciphering the relationship between transcription factors (TFs) and DNA sequences is very helpful for computational inference of gene regulation and a comprehensive understanding of gene regulation mechanisms. Transcription factor binding sites (TFB...
Linking distal enhancers to genes and modeling their impact on target gene expression are longstanding unresolved problems in regulatory genomics and critical for interpreting noncoding genetic variation. Here, we present a new deep learning approach...
