Exon-intron boundary detection made easy by physicochemical properties of DNA.

Molecular omics
Genome architecture in eukaryotes exhibits a high degree of complexity. Amidst the numerous intricacies, the existence of genes as non-continuous stretches composed of exons and introns has garnered significant attention and curiosity among researche...

Optimized convolutional neural network using African vulture optimization algorithm for the detection of exons.

Scientific reports
The detection of exons is an important area of research in genomic sequence analysis. Many signal-processing methods have been established successfully for detecting the exons based on their periodicity property. However, some improvement is still re...

Predicting splicing patterns from the transcription factor binding sites in the promoter with deep learning.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: Alternative splicing is a pivotal mechanism of post-transcriptional modification that contributes to the transcriptome plasticity and proteome diversity in metazoan cells. Although many splicing regulations around the exon/intron regions ...

CircCNNs, a convolutional neural network framework to better understand the biogenesis of exonic circRNAs.

Scientific reports
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) as biomarkers for cancer detection have been extensively explored, however, the biogenesis mechanism is still elusive. In contrast to linear splicing (LS) involved in linear transcript formation, the so-called back splicing (...

Using machine learning to detect the differential usage of novel gene isoforms.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Differential isoform usage is an important driver of inter-individual phenotypic diversity and is linked to various diseases and traits. However, accurately detecting the differential usage of different gene transcripts between groups can...

StrVCTVRE: A supervised learning method to predict the pathogenicity of human genome structural variants.

American journal of human genetics
Whole-genome sequencing resolves many clinical cases where standard diagnostic methods have failed. However, at least half of these cases remain unresolved after whole-genome sequencing. Structural variants (SVs; genomic variants larger than 50 base ...

Prediction of functional microexons by transfer learning.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: Microexons are a particular kind of exon of less than 30 nucleotides in length. More than 60% of annotated human microexons were found to have high levels of sequence conservation, suggesting their potential functions. There is thus a nee...

Improved prediction of smoking status via isoform-aware RNA-seq deep learning models.

PLoS computational biology
Most predictive models based on gene expression data do not leverage information related to gene splicing, despite the fact that splicing is a fundamental feature of eukaryotic gene expression. Cigarette smoking is an important environmental risk fac...

A deep learning approach to identify gene targets of a therapeutic for human splicing disorders.

Nature communications
Pre-mRNA splicing is a key controller of human gene expression. Disturbances in splicing due to mutation lead to dysregulated protein expression and contribute to a substantial fraction of human disease. Several classes of splicing modulator compound...

MET Exon 14 Skipping: A Case Study for the Detection of Genetic Variants in Cancer Driver Genes by Deep Learning.

International journal of molecular sciences
BACKGROUND: Disruption of alternative splicing (AS) is frequently observed in cancer and might represent an important signature for tumor progression and therapy. Exon skipping (ES) represents one of the most frequent AS events, and in non-small cell...
