RNA3DCNN: Local and global quality assessments of RNA 3D structures using 3D deep convolutional neural networks.

PLoS computational biology
Quality assessment is essential for the computational prediction and design of RNA tertiary structures. To date, several knowledge-based statistical potentials have been proposed and proved to be effective in identifying native and near-native RNA st...

Prediction of RNA-protein sequence and structure binding preferences using deep convolutional and recurrent neural networks.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: RNA regulation is significantly dependent on its binding protein partner, known as the RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Unfortunately, the binding preferences for most RBPs are still not well characterized. Interdependencies between sequence ...

DPP-PseAAC: A DNA-binding protein prediction model using Chou's general PseAAC.

Journal of theoretical biology
A DNA-binding protein (DNA-BP) is a protein that can bind and interact with a DNA. Identification of DNA-BPs using experimental methods is expensive as well as time consuming. As such, fast and accurate computational methods are sought for predicting...

The first two mitochondrial genomes from Taeniopterygidae (Insecta: Plecoptera): Structural features and phylogenetic implications.

International journal of biological macromolecules
The complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of Taeniopteryx ugola and Doddsia occidentalis (Plecoptera: Taeniopterygidae) were firstly sequenced from the family Taeniopterygidae. The 15,353-bp long mitogenome of T. ugola and the 16,020-bp long m...

DotAligner: identification and clustering of RNA structure motifs.

Genome biology
The diversity of processed transcripts in eukaryotic genomes poses a challenge for the classification of their biological functions. Sparse sequence conservation in non-coding sequences and the unreliable nature of RNA structure predictions further e...

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...
