MOTIVATION: Alternative splicing makes significant contributions to functional diversity of transcripts and proteins. Many alternatively spliced gene isoforms have been shown to perform specific biological functions under different contexts. In addit...
Conversion between cell types, e.g., by induced expression of master transcription factors, holds great promise for cellular therapy. Our ability to manipulate cell identity is constrained by incomplete information on cell identity genes (CIGs) and t...
Identifying complex human diseases at molecular level is very helpful, especially in diseases diagnosis, therapy, prognosis and monitoring. Accumulating evidences demonstrated that RNAs are playing important roles in identifying various complex human...
The transcriptional activation and repression during NK cell ontology are poorly understood. Here, using single-cell RNA-sequencing, we reveal a novel role for T-bet in suppressing the immature gene signature during murine NK cell development. Based ...
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) can characterize cell types and states through unsupervised clustering, but the ever increasing number of cells and batch effect impose computational challenges. We present DESC, an unsupervised deep embedding a...
In recent years, accumulating studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) not only play an important role in the regulation of various biological processes but also are the foundation for understanding mechanisms of human diseases. Due to ...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in a diverse variety of biological processes through regulating the expression of target genes in the post-transcriptional level. So, it is of great importance to discover the targets of miRNAs in biological research. ...

Peritoneal membrane damage during chronic peritoneal dialysis is the main cause of that treatment failure. Preservation of the mesothelial cells (MC) is important for the survival of the peritoneum. Evaluation of dialysates effect on the function of ...
BACKGROUND: MicroRNA (miRNA) regulation is associated with several diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases. Several approaches can be used for modeling miRNA regulation. However, their precision may be limited for analyzing multidimensional da...
