OBJECTIVE: To aid in the development of a comprehensive list of functional variants in the swine genome, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were identified from whole genome sequence of 240 pigs. Interim data from 72 animals in this study was publ...
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can exert their function by interacting with the DNA via triplex structure formation. Even though this has been validated with a handful of experiments, a genome-wide analysis of lncRNA-DNA binding is needed. In this pap...
As an important base excision repair (BER) enzyme, uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) can repair the uracil-induced DNA lesion and maintain the genomic integrity. Herein, we have proposed a sensitive UDG assay based on the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transfe...
Multiplexing, the simultaneous sequencing of multiple barcoded DNA samples on a single flow cell, has made Oxford Nanopore sequencing cost-effective for small genomes. However, it depends on the ability to sort the resulting sequencing reads by barco...
A novel real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) platform for the simple and robust detection of platinum is described for the first time. Compared with conventional qPCR, a helper template, which is related to the active template for performing qP...

Although convolutional neural networks (CNN) have outperformed conventional methods in predicting the sequence specificities of protein-DNA binding in recent years, they do not take full advantage of the intrinsic weakly-supervised information of DNA...
Genetic engineering projects are rapidly growing in scale and complexity, driven by new tools to design and construct DNA. There is increasing concern that widened access to these technologies could lead to attempts to construct cells for malicious i...
Sexual assault evidence samples require the use of a specific process known as a differential digestion to separate sperm from nonsperm cells prior to DNA extraction. An automated differential digestion process was developed using a selective degrada...

Most past works for DNA-binding residue prediction did not consider the relationships between residues. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for DNA-binding residue prediction, referred to as EL_LSTM, which includes two main components. The fir...
From bacteria following simple chemical gradients to the brain distinguishing complex odour information, the ability to recognize molecular patterns is essential for biological organisms. This type of information-processing function has been implemen...
