Gaining knowledge and actionable insights from complex, high-dimensional and heterogeneous biomedical data remains a key challenge in transforming health care. Various types of data have been emerging in modern biomedical research, including electron...
MOTIVATION: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that function in RNA silencing and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression by targeting messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Because the underlying mechanisms associated with miRNA binding to mRN...
Evolutionary Developmental Biology (Evo-Devo) is an ever-expanding field that aims to understand how development was modulated by the evolutionary process. In this sense, "omic" studies emerged as a powerful ally to unravel the molecular mechanisms u...

Discerning how a mutation affects the stability of a protein is central to the study of a wide range of diseases. Mutagenesis experiments on physical proteins provide precise insights about the effects of amino acid substitutions, but such studies ar...
MOTIVATION: In addition to substitution frequency data from protein sequence alignments, many state-of-the-art methods for contact prediction rely on additional sources of information, or features, of protein sequences in order to predict residue-res...
The past decade has seen an explosion in the collection of genotype data in domains as diverse as medicine, ecology, livestock and plant breeding. Along with this comes the challenge of dealing with the related phenotype data, which is not only large...
The current deluge of newly identified RNA transcripts presents a singular opportunity for improved assessment of coding potential, a cornerstone of genome annotation, and for machine-driven discovery of biological knowledge. While traditional, featu...
