Polyadenylation is the process of addition of poly(A) tail to mRNA 3' ends. Identification of motifs controlling polyadenylation plays an essential role in improving genome annotation accuracy and better understanding of the mechanisms governing gene...
DNA, beyond its canonical B-form double helix, adopts various alternative conformations, among which the i-motif, emerging in cytosine-rich sequences under acidic conditions, holds significant biological implications in transcription modulation and t...
SUMMARY: Cis-acting mRNA elements play a key role in the regulation of mRNA stability and translation efficiency. Revealing the interactions of these elements and their impact plays a crucial role in understanding the regulation of the mRNA translati...
i-Motifs (iMs), are secondary structures formed in cytosine-rich DNA sequences and are involved in multiple functions in the genome. Although putative iM forming sequences are widely distributed in the human genome, the folding status and strength of...
MOTIVATION: Accurate prediction of RNA subcellular localization plays an important role in understanding cellular processes and functions. Although post-transcriptional processes are governed by trans-acting RNA binding proteins (RBPs) through intera...

A DNA motif is a sequence pattern shared by the DNA sequence segments that bind to a specific protein. Discovering motifs in a given DNA sequence dataset plays a vital role in studying gene expression regulation. As an important attribute of the DNA ...
It is well-established that neural networks can predict or identify structural motifs of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Yet, the neural network based identification of RNA structural motifs is limited by the availability of training data that are often in...
The cooperativity of transcription factors (TFs) is a widespread phenomenon in the gene regulation system. However, the interaction patterns between TF binding motifs remain elusive. The recent high-throughput assays, CAP-SELEX, have identified over ...
Detecting cancer signals in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) high-throughput sequencing data is emerging as a novel noninvasive cancer detection method. Due to the high cost of sequencing, it is crucial to make robust and precise predictions with low-depth cfDN...
