Biological features between miRNAs and their targets are unveiled from deep learning models.

Scientific reports
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ~ 22 nucleotide ubiquitous gene regulators. They modulate a broad range of essential cellular processes linked to human health and diseases. Consequently, identifying miRNA targets and understanding how they function are critic...

Machine learning - Predicting Ames mutagenicity of small molecules.

Journal of molecular graphics & modelling
In modern drug discovery, detection of a compound's potential mutagenicity is crucial. However, the traditional method of mutagenicity detection using the Ames test is costly and time consuming as the compounds need to be synthesised and then tested ...

Informed training set design enables efficient machine learning-assisted directed protein evolution.

Cell systems
Directed evolution of proteins often involves a greedy optimization in which the mutation in the highest-fitness variant identified in each round of single-site mutagenesis is fixed. The efficiency of such a single-step greedy walk depends on the ord...

In silico saturation mutagenesis of cancer genes.

Nature
Despite the existence of good catalogues of cancer genes, identifying the specific mutations of those genes that drive tumorigenesis across tumour types is still a largely unsolved problem. As a result, most mutations identified in cancer genes acros...

QSAR modeling without descriptors using graph convolutional neural networks: the case of mutagenicity prediction.

Molecular diversity
Deep neural networks are effective in learning directly from low-level encoded data without the need of feature extraction. This paper shows how QSAR models can be constructed from 2D molecular graphs without computing chemical descriptors. Two graph...

Enhancement of protein thermostability by three consecutive mutations using loop-walking method and machine learning.

Scientific reports
We developed a method to improve protein thermostability, "loop-walking method". Three consecutive positions in 12 loops of Burkholderia cepacia lipase were subjected to random mutagenesis to make 12 libraries. Screening allowed us to identify L7 as ...

MutagenPred-GCNNs: A Graph Convolutional Neural Network-Based Classification Model for Mutagenicity Prediction with Data-Driven Molecular Fingerprints.

Interdisciplinary sciences, computational life sciences
An important task in the early stage of drug discovery is the identification of mutagenic compounds. Mutagenicity prediction models that can interpret relationships between toxicological endpoints and compound structures are especially favorable. In ...

Sequence-to-function deep learning frameworks for engineered riboregulators.

Nature communications
While synthetic biology has revolutionized our approaches to medicine, agriculture, and energy, the design of completely novel biological circuit components beyond naturally-derived templates remains challenging due to poorly understood design rules....

Identification of the human DPR core promoter element using machine learning.

Nature
The RNA polymerase II (Pol II) core promoter is the strategic site of convergence of the signals that lead to the initiation of DNA transcription, but the downstream core promoter in humans has been difficult to understand. Here we analyse the human ...

A Deep Neural Network for Predicting and Engineering Alternative Polyadenylation.

Cell
Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is a major driver of transcriptome diversity in human cells. Here, we use deep learning to predict APA from DNA sequence alone. We trained our model (APARENT, APA REgression NeT) on isoform expression data from over ...
