BACKGROUND: Cross-linking and immunoprecipitation followed by next-generation sequencing (CLIP-seq) is the state-of-the-art technique used to experimentally determine transcriptome-wide binding sites of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). However, it relies...
Domains are instrumental in facilitating protein interactions with DNA, RNA, small molecules, ions and peptides. Identifying ligand-binding domains within sequences is a critical step in protein function annotation, and the ligand-binding properties ...
Knowledge of the interactions between proteins and nucleic acids is the basis of understanding various biological activities and designing new drugs. How to accurately identify the nucleic-acid-binding residues remains a challenging task. In this pap...

Uncompetitive antagonists of the N-methyl d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) have demonstrated therapeutic benefit in the treatment of neurological diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, but some also cause dissociative effects that have led to the ...
Assessing the causal tissues of human complex diseases is important for the prioritization of trait-associated genetic variants. Yet, the biological underpinnings of trait-associated variants are extremely difficult to infer due to statistical noise ...

Bionoi is a new software to generate Voronoi representations of ligand-binding sites in proteins for machine learning applications. Unlike many other deep learning models in biomedicine, Bionoi utilizes off-the-shelf convolutional neural network arch...
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: Knowledge of protein-ligand binding residues is important for understanding the functions of proteins and their interaction mechanisms. From experimentally solved protein structures, how to accurately identify its potential binding sites ...
