Correcting for confounding variables is often overlooked when computing RNA-RNA correlations, even though it can profoundly affect results. We introduce CorrAdjust, a method for identifying and correcting such hidden confounders. CorrAdjust selects a...
Bacterial small RNAs (sRNAs) are pivotal in post-transcriptional regulation, affecting functions like virulence, metabolism, and gene expression by binding specific mRNA targets. Identifying these targets is crucial to understanding sRNA regulation a...
BACKGROUND: As bacterial pathogens develop increasing resistance to antibiotics, strategies targeting virulence factors (VFs) have emerged as a promising and effective approach for treating bacterial infections. Existing methods mainly relied on sequ...
Deep learning is revolutionizing biomedical research by facilitating the integration of multi-omics data sets while bridging classical bioinformatics with existing knowledge. Building on this powerful potential, Zhang et al. proposed a semi-supervise...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Food safety is a fundamental challenge in public health and sustainable development, facing threats from microbial, chemical, and physical contamination. Innovative technologies improve our capacity to detect contamination early an...
BACKGROUND: Infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus can cause coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and can also exacerbate the symptoms of Kawasaki disease (KD), an acute vasculitis that mostly affects children. This study used bioinformatics and machine le...
Natural language processing is utilized in a wide range of fields, where words in text are typically transformed into feature vectors called embeddings. BioConceptVec is a specific example of embeddings tailored for biology, trained on approximately ...
Understanding the molecular underpinnings of CAD is essential for developing effective therapeutic strategies. This study aims to identify and analyze differentially expressed hub biomarkers in the peripheral blood of CAD patients. Based on RNA-seq d...
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are on the rise. While there is evidence of a link between the two diseases, the pathophysiological mechanisms they share are not fully understood.
Cis-regulatory elements (CREs), including enhancers, silencers, promoters and insulators, play pivotal roles in orchestrating gene regulatory mechanisms that drive complex biological traits. However, current approaches for CRE identification are pred...
