Prediction of essential genes in prokaryote based on artificial neural network.

Genes & genomics
BACKGROUND: Rapid identification of new essential genes is necessary to understand biological mechanisms and identify potential targets for antimicrobial drugs. Many computational methods have been proposed.

PolyCRACKER, a robust method for the unsupervised partitioning of polyploid subgenomes by signatures of repetitive DNA evolution.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: Our understanding of polyploid genomes is limited by our inability to definitively assign sequences to a specific subgenome without extensive prior knowledge like high resolution genetic maps or genome sequences of diploid progenitors. In...

Coupling dynamics and evolutionary information with structure to identify protein regulatory and functional binding sites.

Proteins
Binding sites in proteins can be either specifically functional binding sites (active sites) that bind specific substrates with high affinity or regulatory binding sites (allosteric sites), that modulate the activity of functional binding sites throu...

DP-BINDER: machine learning model for prediction of DNA-binding proteins by fusing evolutionary and physicochemical information.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
DNA-binding proteins (DBPs) participate in various biological processes including DNA replication, recombination, and repair. In the human genome, about 6-7% of these proteins are utilized for genes encoding. DBPs shape the DNA into a compact structu...

End-to-End Differentiable Learning of Protein Structure.

Cell systems
Predicting protein structure from sequence is a central challenge of biochemistry. Co-evolution methods show promise, but an explicit sequence-to-structure map remains elusive. Advances in deep learning that replace complex, human-designed pipelines ...

Evolutionarily informed deep learning methods for predicting relative transcript abundance from DNA sequence.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Deep learning methodologies have revolutionized prediction in many fields and show potential to do the same in molecular biology and genetics. However, applying these methods in their current forms ignores evolutionary dependencies within biological ...

Robust optimization through neuroevolution.

PloS one
We propose a method for evolving neural network controllers robust with respect to variations of the environmental conditions (i.e. that can operate effectively in new conditions immediately, without the need to adapt to variations). The method speci...

Levels and building blocks-toward a domain granularity framework for the life sciences.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: With the emergence of high-throughput technologies, Big Data and eScience, the use of online data repositories and the establishment of new data standards that require data to be computer-parsable become increasingly important. As a conse...

iSEE: Interface structure, evolution, and energy-based machine learning predictor of binding affinity changes upon mutations.

Proteins
Quantitative evaluation of binding affinity changes upon mutations is crucial for protein engineering and drug design. Machine learning-based methods are gaining increasing momentum in this field. Due to the limited number of experimental data, using...
