Contiguous genes in prokaryotes are often arranged into operons. Detecting operons plays a critical role in inferring gene functionality and regulatory networks. Human experts annotate operons by visually inspecting gene neighborhoods across pileups ...

Biofilm forming Staphylococcus aureus is a major threat to the health-care industry. It is important to understand the differences between planktonic and biofilm growth forms in the pathogen since conventional treatments targeting the planktonic form...
The transcriptional regulatory network (TRN) of Bacillus subtilis coordinates cellular functions of fundamental interest, including metabolism, biofilm formation, and sporulation. Here, we use unsupervised machine learning to modularize the transcrip...

Quorum sensing is a widespread form of cell-to-cell communication, which is based on the production of signaling molecules known as autoinducers (AIs). The first group contains highly species-specific N-acyl homoserine lactones (N-AHLs), generally kn...
Microbial communities frequently communicate via quorum sensing (QS), where cells produce, secrete, and respond to a threshold level of an autoinducer (AI) molecule, thereby modulating gene expression. However, the biology of QS remains incompletely ...

Correct inference of genetic regulations inside a cell from the biological database like time series microarray data is one of the greatest challenges in post genomic era for biologists and researchers. Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) is one of the mo...
Gene Ontology (GO) classification of statistically significantly differentially expressed genes is commonly used to interpret transcriptomics data as a part of functional genomic analysis. In this approach, all significantly expressed genes contribut...
Recombinant protein overexpression, an important biotechnological process, is ruled by complex biological rules which are mostly unknown, is in need of an intelligent algorithm so as to avoid resource-intensive lab-based trial and error experiments i...
Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are widespread in bacteria. However, characterizing the targets of sRNA regulation in a way that scales with the increasing number of identified sRNAs has proven challenging. Computational methods offer one means for eff...
Invertible promoters (invertons) are crucial regulatory elements in bacteria, facilitating gene expression changes under stress. Despite their importance, their prevalence and the range of regulated gene functions are largely unknown. We introduced D...
