BACKGROUND: Alternative splicing is the critical process in a single gene coding, which removes introns and joins exons, and splicing branchpoints are indicators for the alternative splicing. Wet experiments have identified a great number of human sp...
BACKGROUND: With the rapid development of deep sequencing techniques in the recent years, enhancers have been systematically identified in such projects as FANTOM and ENCODE, forming genome-wide landscapes in a series of human cell lines. Nevertheles...
In recent years, several network models have been introduced to elucidate the relationships between diseases. However, important risk factors that contribute to many human diseases, such as age, gender and prior diagnoses, have not been considered in...
We describe a sequence-based computational model to predict DNA G-quadruplex (G4) formation. The model was developed using large-scale machine learning from an extensive experimental G4-formation dataset, recently obtained for the human genome via G4...

Inside the cell nucleus, genomes fold into organized structures that are characteristic of cell type. Here, we show that this chromatin architecture can be predicted de novo using epigenetic data derived from chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing ...
Using a powerful machine learning approach, a recent study of human genomes has revealed widespread footprints of recent positive selection on standing genetic variation.
The potential for genetic discovery in human DNA sequencing studies is greatly diminished if DNA samples from a cohort are mislabeled, swapped, or contaminated or if they include unintended individuals. Unfortunately, the potential for such errors is...

Identification of microRNA (miRNA) precursors has seen increased efforts in recent years. The difficulty in experimental detection of pre-miRNAs increased the usage of computational approaches. Most of these approaches rely on machine learning especi...
Increasing evidences indicated that function annotation of human genome in molecular level and phenotype level is very important for systematic analysis of genes. In this study, we presented a framework named Gene2Function to annotate Gene Reference ...
Enrichment analysis is a popular method for analyzing gene sets generated by genome-wide experiments. Here we present a significant update to one of the tools in this domain called Enrichr. Enrichr currently contains a large collection of diverse gen...
