The human telomeric DNA G-quadruplex follows a kinetic partitioning folding mechanism. The underlying folding landscape potentially has many minima separated by high free-energy barriers. However, using current theoretical models to characterize this...
Nucleic acids exhibit a repertoire of conformational preference depending on the sequence and environment. Circular dichroism (CD) is an essential and valuable tool for monitoring such secondary structural conformations of nucleic acids. Nonetheless,...
The synthesis and assembly of long DNA fragments has greatly accelerated synthetic biology and biotechnology research. However, long turnaround times or synthesis failures create unpredictable bottlenecks in the design-build-test-learn cycle. We deve...
Secondary structure prediction approaches rely typically on models of equilibrium free energies that are themselves based on in vitro physical chemistry. Recent transcriptome-wide experiments of in vivo RNA structure based on SHAPE-MaP experiments pr...
The intricate details of how proteins bind to proteins, DNA, and RNA are crucial for the understanding of almost all biological processes. Disease-causing sequence variants often affect binding residues. Here, we described a new, comprehensive system...
BACKGROUND: Interactions between protein and nucleic acid molecules are essential to a variety of cellular processes. A large amount of interaction data generated by high-throughput technologies have triggered the development of several computational...
BACKGROUND: RNA secondary structure prediction is an important issue in structural bioinformatics, and RNA pseudoknotted secondary structure prediction represents an NP-hard problem. Recently, many different machine-learning methods, Markov models, a...
A gene is considered essential if loss of function results in loss of viability, fitness or in disease. This concept is well established for coding genes; however, non-coding regions are thought less likely to be determinants of critical functions. H...
Emerging RNA-based approaches to disease detection and gene therapy require RNA sequences that fold into specific base-pairing patterns, but computational algorithms generally remain inadequate for these secondary structure design tasks. The Eterna p...
