OBJECTIVE: Cataract, a common age-related blinding eye disease, has a complex pathogenesis. This study aims to identify key genes and potential mechanisms associated with cataracts, offering new targets and insights for its prevention and treatment.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small molecular peptides that widely exist in organisms to resist external microbial invasion and play a crucial role in the host's immune defense system. Owing to their functions of efficient broad-spectrum killing ...

Sepsis is a life-threatening disease caused by the dysregulation of the immune response. It is important to identify influential genes modulating the immune response in sepsis. In this study, we used P-NET, a biologically informed explainable artific...
Deciphering cell identity genes is pivotal to understanding cell differentiation, development, and cell identity dysregulation involving diseases. Here, we introduce SCIG, a machine-learning method to uncover cell identity genes in single cells. In a...
Cis-regulatory elements (CREs), including enhancers, silencers, promoters and insulators, play pivotal roles in orchestrating gene regulatory mechanisms that drive complex biological traits. However, current approaches for CRE identification are pred...
To understand the complex relationship between histone mark activity and gene expression, recent advances have used in silico predictions based on large-scale machine learning models. However, these approaches have omitted key contributing factors li...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by binding to the 3'-untranslated regions of target mRNAs, influencing various biological processes at the post-transcriptional level. Identifying miRNA transcription start si...
BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is becoming increasingly prevalent. Regulated cell death (RCD) has emerged as a significant disease phenotype and may act as a marker for liver fibrosis. The present study aimed to i...
Enhancers play a critical role in dynamically regulating spatial-temporal gene expression and establishing cell identity, underscoring the significance of designing them with specific properties for applications in biosynthetic engineering and gene t...
The interactions between transcription factors (TFs) and the target genes could provide a basis for constructing gene regulatory networks (GRNs) for mechanistic understanding of various biological complex processes. From gene expression data, particu...
