DNA mechanical properties play a critical role in every aspect of DNA-dependent biological processes. Recently a high throughput assay named loop-seq has been developed to quantify the intrinsic bendability of a massive number of DNA fragments simult...
MOTIVATION: Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are key elements in numerous biological pathways and the subject of a growing number of drug discovery projects including against infectious diseases. Designing drugs on PPI targets remains a difficult ...
Transcription factors (TFs) are proteins specifically involved in gene expression regulation. It is generally accepted in epigenetics that methylated nucleotides could prevent the TFs from binding to DNA fragments. However, recent studies have confir...
Protein-RNA interactions are of vital importance to a variety of cellular activities. Both experimental and computational techniques have been developed to study the interactions. Because of the limitation of the previous database, especially the lac...
Accurate identification of transcription factor binding sites is of great significance in understanding gene expression, biological development and drug design. Although a variety of methods based on deep-learning models and large-scale data have bee...
Identifying cis-regulatory motifs from genomic sequencing data (e.g. ChIP-seq and CLIP-seq) is crucial in identifying transcription factor (TF) binding sites and inferring gene regulatory mechanisms for any organism. Since 2015, deep learning (DL) me...
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) generally bind to RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to play an important role in the regulation of autoimmune diseases. Thus, it is crucial to study the binding sites of RBPs on circRNAs. Although many methods, including traditiona...
The cooperativity of transcription factors (TFs) is a widespread phenomenon in the gene regulation system. However, the interaction patterns between TF binding motifs remain elusive. The recent high-throughput assays, CAP-SELEX, have identified over ...
The accumulation of large epigenomics data consortiums provides us with the opportunity to extrapolate existing knowledge to new cell types and conditions. We propose Epitome, a deep neural network that learns similarities of chromatin accessibility ...
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are widely expressed in highly diverged eukaryotes. Although circRNAs have been known for many years, their function remains unclear. Interaction with RNA-binding protein (RBP) to influence post-transcriptional regulation is ...
