Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have mined many common genetic variants associated with human complex traits like diseases. After that, the functional annotation and enrichment analysis of significant SNPs are important tasks. Classic methods...

Genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics efforts rapidly generate a plethora of data on the activity and levels of biomolecules within mammalian cells. At the same time, curation projects that organize knowledge from the bi...
A coding measure scheme numerically translates the DNA sequence to a time domain signal for protein coding regions identification. A number of coding measure schemes based on numerology, geometry, fixed mapping, statistical characteristics and chemic...
tRNAScan-SE is a tRNA detection program that is widely used for tRNA annotation; however, the false positive rate of tRNAScan-SE is unacceptable for large sequences. Here, we used a machine learning method to try to improve the tRNAScan-SE results. A...

The Rat Genome Database (RGD) is the premier repository of rat genomic, genetic and physiologic data. Converting data from free text in the scientific literature to a structured format is one of the main tasks of all model organism databases. RGD spe...
Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. There are three major types of lung cancers, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and carcinoid. NSCLC is further classified into lung adenocarcinoma (LADC), sq...

We propose GRNUlar, a novel deep learning framework for supervised learning of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from single-cell RNA-Sequencing (scRNA-Seq) data. Our framework incorporates two intertwined models. First, we leverage the expressive abil...
Although chemotherapy is the first-line treatment for ovarian cancer (OCa) patients, chemoresistance (CR) decreases their progression-free survival. This paper investigates the genetic interaction (GI) related to OCa-CR. To decrease the complexity of...
