MOTIVATION: Self-organizing maps (SOMs) are readily available bioinformatics methods for clustering and visualizing high-dimensional data, provided that such biological information is previously transformed to fixed-size, metric-based vectors. To inc...
UNLABELLED: Annotating genetic variants, especially non-coding variants, for the purpose of identifying pathogenic variants remains a challenge. Combined annotation-dependent depletion (CADD) is an algorithm designed to annotate both coding and non-c...

Since its first publication in 2003, the Gene Set Enrichment Analysis method, based on the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic, has been heavily used, modified, and also questioned. Recently a simplified approach using a one-sample t-test score to assess en...
Understanding the vast noncoding cancer genome requires cutting-edge, high-resolution, and accessible strategies. Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing cancer research, enabling advanced models to analyze genome regulation. This review examines ...
BACKGROUND: The incidence and mortality of endometrial cancer (EC) is on the rise. Eighty-five percent of ECs depend on estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) for proliferation, but little is known about its transcriptional regulation in these tumors.
We introduce ChromActivity, a computational framework for predicting and annotating regulatory activity across the genome through integration of multiple epigenomic maps and various functional characterization datasets. ChromActivity generates genome...
BACKGROUND: Disease Ontology (DO) has been widely studied in biomedical research and clinical practice to describe the roles of genes. DO enrichment analysis is an effective means to discover associations between genes and diseases. Compared to hundr...
Response to spatiotemporal variation in selection gradients resulted in signatures of polygenic adaptation in human genomes. We introduce RAISING, a two-stage deep learning framework that optimizes neural network architecture through hyperparameter t...
MOTIVATION: For more than 25 years, learning-based eukaryotic gene predictors were driven by hidden Markov models (HMMs), which were directly inputted a DNA sequence. Recently, Holst et al. demonstrated with their program Helixer that the accuracy of...
Genomic DNA breakages and the subsequent insertion and deletion mutations are important contributors to genome instability and linked diseases. Unlike the research in point mutations, the relationship between DNA sequence context and the propensity f...
