The Ames assay is required by the regulatory agencies worldwide to assess the mutagenic potential risk of consumer products. As well as this in vitro assay, in silico approaches have been widely used to predict Ames test results as outlined in the In...
The Ames test is a gold standard mutagenicity assay that utilizes various strains with and without S9 fraction to provide insights into the mechanisms by which a chemical can mutate DNA. Multitask deep learning is an ideal framework for developing Q...
Metastatic propagation is the leading cause of death for most cancers. Prediction and elucidation of metastatic process is crucial for the treatment of cancer. Even though somatic mutations have been linked to tumorigenesis and metastasis, it is less...
Predicting the thermodynamic stability of proteins is a common and widely used step in protein engineering, and when elucidating the molecular mechanisms behind evolution and disease. Here, we present RaSP, a method for making rapid and accurate pred...
