A proinflammatory peptide (PIP) is a type of signaling molecules that are secreted from immune cells, which contributes to the first line of defense against invading pathogens. Numerous experiments have shown that PIPs play an important role in human...
Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) and microRNA (miRNA) are both non-coding RNAs that play significant regulatory roles in many life processes. There is cumulating evidence showing that the interaction patterns between lncRNAs and miRNAs are highly related...
Study of interface residue pairs is important for understanding the interactions between monomers inside a trimer protein-protein complex. We developed a two-layer support vector machine (SVM) ensemble-classifier that considers physicochemical and ge...
Oncogene is a special type of genes, which can promote the tumor initiation. Good study on oncogenes is helpful for understanding the cause of cancers. Experimental techniques in early time are quite popular in detecting oncogenes. However, their def...

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are ubiquitous in living organisms. HSPs are an essential component for cell growth and survival; the main function of HSPs is controlling the folding and unfolding process of proteins. According to molecular function and m...
BACKGROUND: In silico promoter prediction represents an important challenge in bioinformatics as it provides a first-line approach to identifying regulatory elements to support wet-lab experiments. Historically, available promoter prediction software...
BACKGROUND: Gene selection refers to find a small subset of discriminant genes from the gene expression profiles. How to select genes that affect specific phenotypic traits effectively is an important research work in the field of biology. The neural...
