BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key gene expression regulators in plants and animals. Therefore, miRNAs are involved in several biological processes, making the study of these molecules one of the most relevant topics of molecular biology nowadays...
BACKGROUND: It is generally acknowledged that a functional understanding of a biological system can only be obtained by an understanding of the collective of molecular interactions in form of biological networks. Protein networks are one particular n...
MOTIVATION: Molecular recognition of N-terminal targeting peptides is the most common mechanism controlling the import of nuclear-encoded proteins into mitochondria and chloroplasts. When experimental information is lacking, computational methods can...

In this paper, we propose a novel neural architecture search (NAS) method called MAPOCNN, which leverages an enhanced version of the Artificial Protozoa Optimizer (APO) to optimize the architecture of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The APO is ...
This study addresses the challenging task of identifying viruses within metagenomic data, which encompasses a broad array of biological samples, including animal reservoirs, environmental sources, and the human body. Traditional methods for virus ide...
Microbial communities, which include prokaryotes and protists, play an important role in aquatic ecosystems and influence ecological processes. To understand these communities, metabarcoding provides a powerful tool to assess their taxonomic composit...
BACKGROUND: The virome obtained through virus-like particle enrichment contains a mixture of prokaryotic and eukaryotic virus-derived fragments. Accurate identification and classification of these elements are crucial to understanding their roles and...

Intricate networks of single-celled eukaryotes (protists) dominate carbon flow in the ocean. Their growth, demise, and interactions with other microorganisms drive the fluxes of biogeochemical elements through marine ecosystems. Mixotrophic protists ...
MOTIVATION: With a large number of metagenomic datasets becoming available, eukaryotic metagenomics emerged as a new challenge. The proper classification of eukaryotic nuclear and organellar genomes is an essential step toward a better understanding ...
MOTIVATION: mRNA location corresponds to the location of protein translation and contributes to precise spatial and temporal management of the protein function. However, current assignment of subcellular localization of eukaryotic mRNA reveals import...
