Bioinformatic annotation of protein function is essential but extremely sophisticated, which asks for extensive efforts to develop effective prediction method. However, the existing methods tend to amplify the representativeness of the families with ...
Understanding the relationship between amino acid sequence and protein function is a long-standing challenge with far-reaching scientific and translational implications. State-of-the-art alignment-based techniques cannot predict function for one-thir...
To accelerate cancer research that correlates biomarkers with clinical endpoints, methods are needed to ascertain outcomes from electronic health records at scale. Here, we train deep natural language processing (NLP) models to extract outcomes for p...

Knowledge of protein functions plays an important role in biology and medicine. With the rapid development of high-throughput technologies, a huge number of proteins have been discovered. However, there are a great number of proteins without function...
BACKGROUND: Enhancers are non-coding regions of the genome that control the activity of target genes. Recent efforts to identify active enhancers experimentally and in silico have proven effective. While these tools can predict the locations of enhan...
Experimental data about gene functions curated from the primary literature have enormous value for research scientists in understanding biology. Using the Gene Ontology (GO), manual curation by experts has provided an important resource for studying ...
BACKGROUND: Paralogs formed through gene duplication and isoforms formed through alternative splicing have been important processes for increasing protein diversity and maintaining cellular homeostasis. Despite their recognized importance and the adv...
