Machine Learning Aids Classification and Discrimination of Noncanonical DNA Folding Motifs by an Arrayed Host:Guest Sensing System.

Journal of the American Chemical Society
An arrayed host:guest fluorescence sensor system can discriminate among and classify multiple different noncanonical DNA structures by exploiting selective molecular recognition. The sensor is highly selective and can discriminate between folds as si...

MOCCA: a flexible suite for modelling DNA sequence motif occurrence combinatorics.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Cis-regulatory elements (CREs) are DNA sequence segments that regulate gene expression. Among CREs are promoters, enhancers, Boundary Elements (BEs) and Polycomb Response Elements (PREs), all of which are enriched in specific sequence mot...

CNN-Peaks: ChIP-Seq peak detection pipeline using convolutional neural networks that imitate human visual inspection.

Scientific reports
ChIP-seq is one of the core experimental resources available to understand genome-wide epigenetic interactions and identify the functional elements associated with diseases. The analysis of ChIP-seq data is important but poses a difficult computation...

gammaBOriS: Identification and Taxonomic Classification of Origins of Replication in Gammaproteobacteria using Motif-based Machine Learning.

Scientific reports
The biology of bacterial cells is, in general, based on information encoded on circular chromosomes. Regulation of chromosome replication is an essential process that mostly takes place at the origin of replication (oriC), a locus unique per chromoso...

Machine Learning Techniques for Classifying the Mutagenic Origins of Point Mutations.

Genetics
There is increasing interest in developing diagnostics that discriminate individual mutagenic mechanisms in a range of applications that include identifying population-specific mutagenesis and resolving distinct mutation signatures in cancer samples....

Deep neural networks for interpreting RNA-binding protein target preferences.

Genome research
Deep learning has become a powerful paradigm to analyze the binding sites of regulatory factors including RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), owing to its strength to learn complex features from possibly multiple sources of raw data. However, the interpreta...

Fast and accurate microRNA search using CNN.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: There are many different types of microRNAs (miRNAs) and elucidating their functions is still under intensive research. A fundamental step in functional annotation of a new miRNA is to classify it into characterized miRNA families, such a...

Discovery and annotation of novel microRNAs in the porcine genome by using a semi-supervised transductive learning approach.

Genomics
Despite the broad variety of available microRNA (miRNA) prediction tools, their application to the discovery and annotation of novel miRNA genes in domestic species is still limited. In this study we designed a comprehensive pipeline (eMIRNA) for miR...

Deciphering epigenomic code for cell differentiation using deep learning.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: Although DNA sequence plays a crucial role in establishing the unique epigenome of a cell type, little is known about the sequence determinants that lead to the unique epigenomes of different cell types produced during cell differentiatio...

MD-SVM: a novel SVM-based algorithm for the motif discovery of transcription factor binding sites.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Transcription factors (TFs) play important roles in the regulation of gene expression. They can activate or block transcription of downstream genes in a manner of binding to specific genomic sequences. Therefore, motif discovery of these ...
