Protein-related interaction prediction is critical to understanding life processes, biological functions, and mechanisms of drug action. Experimental methods used to determine proteinrelated interactions have always been costly and inefficient. In re...
MOTIVATION: We expect novel pathogens to arise due to their fast-paced evolution, and new species to be discovered thanks to advances in DNA sequencing and metagenomics. Moreover, recent developments in synthetic biology raise concerns that some stra...
MOTIVATION: Nucleic acids and proteins often have localized sequence motifs that enable highly specific interactions. Due to the biological relevance of sequence motifs, numerous inference methods have been developed. Recently, convolutional neural n...
ATAC-seq has been widely adopted to identify accessible chromatin regions across the genome. However, current data analysis still utilizes approaches initially designed for ChIP-seq or DNase-seq, without considering the transposase digested DNA fragm...
The identification of transcription factor binding sites and cis-regulatory motifs is a frontier whereupon the rules governing protein-DNA binding are being revealed. Here, we developed a new method (DEep Sequence and Shape mOtif or DESSO) for cis-re...
MOTIVATION: Deep learning architectures have recently demonstrated their power in predicting DNA- and RNA-binding specificity. Existing methods fall into three classes: Some are based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), others use recurrent neur...
MOTIVATION: With the accumulation of DNA sequencing data, convolution neural network (CNN) based methods such as DeepBind and DeepSEA have achieved great success for predicting the function of primary DNA sequences. Previous studies confirm the impor...
MOTIVATION: As one of important epigenetic modifications, DNA N4-methylcytosine (4mC) is recently shown to play crucial roles in restriction-modification systems. For better understanding of their functional mechanisms, it is fundamentally important ...
MOTIVATION: N4-methylcytosine (4mC), an important epigenetic modification formed by the action of specific methyltransferases, plays an essential role in DNA repair, expression and replication. The accurate identification of 4mC sites aids in-depth r...
