PURPOSE: Patients with advanced solid tumors may receive intensive treatments near the end of life. This study aimed to create a machine learning (ML) model using limited features to predict 6-month mortality at treatment decision points (TDPs).
Transcription factors (TFs) are proteins specifically involved in gene expression regulation. It is generally accepted in epigenetics that methylated nucleotides could prevent the TFs from binding to DNA fragments. However, recent studies have confir...
Proteins with intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are common among eukaryotes. Many IDRs interact with nucleic acids and proteins. Annotation of these interactions is supported by computational predictors, but to date, only one tool that predicts...
Knowledge of the specificity of DNA-protein binding is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of gene expression, regulation and gene therapy. In recent years, deep-learning-based methods for predicting DNA-protein binding from sequence data have a...
DNA-bound proteins are essential elements for the maintenance, regulation, and use of the genome. The time they spend bound to DNA provides useful information on their stability within protein complexes and insight into the understanding of biologica...
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...
The complex system of gene expression is regulated by the cell type-specific binding of transcription factors (TFs) to regulatory elements. Identifying variants that disrupt TF binding and lead to human diseases remains a great challenge. To address ...

The increasing number of protein structures with uncharacterized function necessitates the development of in silico prediction methods for functional annotations on proteins. In this chapter, different kinds of computational approaches are briefly in...
MOTIVATION: Transcription factors (TFs) bind to specific DNA sequence motifs. Several lines of evidence suggest that TF-DNA binding is mediated in part by properties of the local DNA shape: the width of the minor groove, the relative orientations of ...
