Accurate prediction of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) is essential for understanding gene regulation mechanisms and the etiology of diseases. Despite numerous advances in deep learning for predicting TFBSs, their performance can still be ...
We demonstrate that nucleosomes placed in the gene body can be accurately located from signal decay theory assuming two emitters located at the beginning and at the end of genes. These generated wave signals can be in phase (leading to well defined n...
MOTIVATION: Transcription factors are pivotal in the regulation of gene expression, and accurate identification of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) at high resolution is crucial for understanding the mechanisms underlying gene regulation. T...
DNA, beyond its canonical B-form double helix, adopts various alternative conformations, among which the i-motif, emerging in cytosine-rich sequences under acidic conditions, holds significant biological implications in transcription modulation and t...
Mechanisms of protein-DNA interactions are involved in a wide range of biological activities and processes. Accurately identifying binding sites between proteins and DNA is crucial for analyzing genetic material, exploring protein functions, and desi...
i-Motifs (iMs), are secondary structures formed in cytosine-rich DNA sequences and are involved in multiple functions in the genome. Although putative iM forming sequences are widely distributed in the human genome, the folding status and strength of...
Compared with proteins, DNA and RNA are more difficult languages to interpret because four-letter coded DNA/RNA sequences have less information content than 20-letter coded protein sequences. While BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Tra...
MOTIVATION: Simulating multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) using probabilistic models of sequence evolution plays an important role in the evaluation of phylogenetic inference tools and is crucial to the development of novel learning-based approaches...
BACKGROUND: Cancer remains a global burden, with increasing mortality rates. Current cancer treatments involve controlling the transcription of malignant DNA genes, either directly or indirectly. DNA exhibits various structural forms, including the G...

This chapter proposes a prototype-based classification approach for analyzing DNA barcodes that uses a spectral representation of DNA sequences and a non-gradient neural network. Biological sequences can be viewed as data components with higher non-f...
