Nucleic acid electron density interpretation after phasing by molecular replacement or other methods remains a difficult problem for computer programs to deal with. Programs tend to rely on time-consuming and computationally exhaustive searches to re...
MOTIVATION: The asymmetrical distribution of expressed mRNAs tightly controls the precise synthesis of proteins within human cells. This non-uniform distribution, a cornerstone of developmental biology, plays a pivotal role in numerous cellular proce...
Accurate RNA structure models are crucial for designing small molecule ligands that modulate their functions. This study assesses six standalone RNA 3D structure prediction methods-DeepFoldRNA, RhoFold, BRiQ, FARFAR2, SimRNA and Vfold2, excluding web...
MOTIVATION: Coding and noncoding RNA molecules participate in many important biological processes. Noncoding RNAs fold into well-defined secondary structures to exert their functions. However, the computational prediction of the secondary structure f...
For many RNA molecules, the secondary structure is essential for the correct function of the RNA. Predicting RNA secondary structure from nucleotide sequences is a long-standing problem in genomics, but the prediction performance has reached a platea...
Co-evolutionary models such as direct coupling analysis (DCA) in combination with machine learning (ML) techniques based on deep neural networks are able to predict accurate protein contact or distance maps. Such information can be used as constraint...
RNA molecules adopt three-dimensional structures that are critical to their function and of interest in drug discovery. Few RNA structures are known, however, and predicting them computationally has proven challenging. We introduce a machine learning...
Optical microrobotics is an emerging field that has the potential to improve upon current optical tweezer studies through avenues such as limiting the exposure of biological molecules of interest to laser radiation and overcoming the current limitati...
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play crucial roles in multiple biological processes. However, only a few ncRNAs' functions have been well studied. Given the significance of ncRNAs classification for understanding ncRNAs' functions, more and more computation...
Nucleotide variants can cause functional changes by altering protein-RNA binding in various ways that are not easy to predict. This can affect processes such as splicing, nuclear shuttling, and stability of the transcript. Therefore, correct modeling...
