The Predicted Genomic Islands database (Pre_GI) is a comprehensive repository of prokaryotic genomic islands (islands, GIs) freely accessible at http://pregi.bi.up.ac.za/index.php. Pre_GI, Version 2015, catalogues 26 744 islands identified in 2407 ba...
Identification of transcription units (TUs) encoded in a bacterial genome is essential to elucidation of transcriptional regulation of the organism. To gain a detailed understanding of the dynamically composed TU structures, we have used four strand-...

During the past several decades, Escherichia coli has been a treasure chest for molecular biology. The molecular mechanisms of many fundamental cellular processes have been discovered through research on this bacterium. Although much basic research n...
Accurate bacterial gene prediction is essential for understanding microbial functions and advancing biotechnology. Traditional methods based on sequence homology and statistical models often struggle with complex genetic variations and novel sequence...
subsp. () causes Johne's disease (JD), a chronic infection responsible for considerable economic losses to dairy industries worldwide. Genetically clonal, has evolved into three distinct genetic lineages designated CII, for bovine strains, and SI ...
Biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), key in synthesizing microbial secondary metabolites, are mostly hidden in microbial genomes and metagenomes. To unearth this vast potential, we present BGC-Prophet, a transformer-based language model for BGC predict...
MOTIVATION: Advances in bacterial promoter predictors based on machine learning have greatly improved identification metrics. However, existing models overlooked the impact of negative datasets, previously identified in GC-content discrepancies betwe...
The prediction of the plasmid host range is crucial for investigating the dissemination of plasmids and the transfer of resistance and virulence genes mediated by plasmids. Several machine learning-based tools have been developed to predict plasmid h...
This study presents a dual investigation of Salmonella enterica subspecies I, focusing on serovar prediction and core genome characteristics. We utilized two large genomic datasets (panX and NCBI Pathogen Detection) to test machine learning methods f...
The exponential growth of microbial genome data presents unprecedented opportunities for unlocking the potential of microorganisms. The burgeoning field of pangenomics offers a framework for extracting insights from this big biological data. Recent a...
