Unlike proteins, which have a wealth of validated structural data, experimentally or computationally validated DNA origami datasets are limited. Here we present a graph neural network that can predict the three-dimensional conformation of DNA origami...
N-methylcytosine (4mC) is a DNA modification involving the addition of a methyl group to the fourth nitrogen atom of the cytosine base. This modification may influence gene regulation, providing potential insights into gene control mechanisms. Tradit...
Nanopore sequencing generates noisy electrical signals that need to be converted into a standard string of DNA nucleotide bases using a computational step called basecalling. The performance of basecalling has critical implications for all later step...
Accurately modeling large biomolecules such as DNA from first principles is fundamentally challenging due to the steep computational scaling of ab initio quantum chemistry methods. This limitation becomes even more prominent when modeling biomolecule...
Understanding the mechanisms of protein-DNA binding is critical in comprehending gene regulation. Three-dimensional DNA structure, also described as DNA shape, plays a key role in these mechanisms. In this study, we present a deep learning-based meth...

Accurate identification of DNA promoter sequences is of crucial importance in unraveling the underlying mechanisms that regulate gene transcription. Initiation of transcription is controlled through regulatory transcription factors binding to promote...
DNA-binding and RNA-binding proteins are essential to an organism's normal life cycle. These proteins have diverse functions in various biological processes. DNA-binding proteins are crucial for DNA replication, transcription, repair, packaging, and ...
Detection of nucleic acids from a single multiplexed and amplification-free test is critical for ensuring food safety, clinical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring. In this study, we introduced a mesophilic Argonaute protein from (CbAgo), whic...
Characterization of gene regulatory mechanisms in cancer is a key task in cancer genomics. CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF), a DNA binding protein, exhibits specific binding patterns in the genome of cancer cells and has a non-canonical function to facili...
DNA-binding proteins are a class of proteins that can interact with DNA molecules through physical and chemical interactions. Their main functions include regulating gene expression, maintaining chromosome structure and stability, and more. DNA-bindi...
