Sensitive detection of DNA methyltransferase using the dendritic rolling circle amplification-induced fluorescence.

Analytica chimica acta
The analysis of DNA methylation and MTase activities is very important in the early clinical diagnosis of cancer, on purposes of providing insights into the mechanism of gene repression and developing novel drugs of treating methylation-related disea...

A Machine Learning Approach for MicroRNA Precursor Prediction in Retro-transcribing Virus Genomes.

Journal of integrative bioinformatics
Identification of microRNA (miRNA) precursors has seen increased efforts in recent years. The difficulty in experimental detection of pre-miRNAs increased the usage of computational approaches. Most of these approaches rely on machine learning especi...

Mirnacle: machine learning with SMOTE and random forest for improving selectivity in pre-miRNA ab initio prediction.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key gene expression regulators in plants and animals. Therefore, miRNAs are involved in several biological processes, making the study of these molecules one of the most relevant topics of molecular biology nowadays...

LBSizeCleav: improved support vector machine (SVM)-based prediction of Dicer cleavage sites using loop/bulge length.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Dicer is necessary for the process of mature microRNA (miRNA) formation because the Dicer enzyme cleaves pre-miRNA correctly to generate miRNA with correct seed regions. Nonetheless, the mechanism underlying the selection of a Dicer cleav...

A semi-supervised learning approach for RNA secondary structure prediction.

Computational biology and chemistry
RNA secondary structure prediction is a key technology in RNA bioinformatics. Most algorithms for RNA secondary structure prediction use probabilistic models, in which the model parameters are trained with reliable RNA secondary structures. Because o...

Identifying DNA-binding proteins by combining support vector machine and PSSM distance transformation.

BMC systems biology
