It is well known that essential proteins play an extremely important role in controlling cellular activities in living organisms. Identifying essential proteins from protein protein interaction (PPI) networks is conducive to the understanding of cell...
Transposable elements (TEs) are repetitive nucleotide sequences that make up a large portion of eukaryotic genomes. They can move and duplicate within a genome, increasing genome size and contributing to genetic diversity within and across species. A...

Protein-protein interaction (PPI) plays a key role in understanding cellular mechanisms in different organisms. Many supervised classifiers like Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) have been used for intra or inter-species interaction...
A brain consists of numerous distinct neurons arising from a limited number of progenitors, called neuroblasts in Drosophila. Each neuroblast produces a specific neuronal lineage. To unravel the transcriptional networks that underlie the development ...
Many genes can play a role in multiple biological processes or molecular functions. Identifying multifunctional genes at the genome-wide level and studying their properties can shed light upon the complexity of molecular events that underpin cellular...
Aseptic loosening is the primary cause of cementless femoral prosthesis failure and is related to the primary stability of the cementless femoral prosthesis in the femoral cavity. The primary stability affects both the osseointegration and the long-t...
BACKGROUND: Gene function annotations, which are associations between a gene and a term of a controlled vocabulary describing gene functional features, are of paramount importance in modern biology. Datasets of these annotations, such as the ones pro...
Refractory epilepsy is an intractable neurological disorder that can be associated with oligogenic/polygenic etiologies. Through trio-based whole-exome sequencing analysis, we identified a clinical case of refractory epilepsy with three candidate gen...
