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 ...

Prediction of binding property of RNA-binding proteins using multi-sized filters and multi-modal deep convolutional neural network.

PloS one
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are important in gene expression regulations by post-transcriptional control of RNAs and immune system development and its function. Due to the help of sequencing technology, numerous RNA sequences are newly discovered wit...

Sequential Integration of Fuzzy Clustering and Expectation Maximization for Transcription Factor Binding Site Identification.

Journal of computational biology : a journal of computational molecular cell biology
The identification of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) is a problem for which computational methods offer great hope. Thus far, the expectation maximization (EM) technique has been successfully utilized in finding TFBSs in DNA sequences, bu...

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 ...

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...

Predicting human splicing branchpoints by combining sequence-derived features and multi-label learning methods.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Alternative splicing is the critical process in a single gene coding, which removes introns and joins exons, and splicing branchpoints are indicators for the alternative splicing. Wet experiments have identified a great number of human sp...

McEnhancer: predicting gene expression via semi-supervised assignment of enhancers to target genes.

Genome biology
Transcriptional enhancers regulate spatio-temporal gene expression. While genomic assays can identify putative enhancers en masse, assigning target genes is a complex challenge. We devised a machine learning approach, McEnhancer, which links target g...

Clustering and Candidate Motif Detection in Exosomal miRNAs by Application of Machine Learning Algorithms.

Interdisciplinary sciences, computational life sciences
BACKGROUND: The clustering pattern and motifs give immense information about any biological data. An application of machine learning algorithms for clustering and candidate motif detection in miRNAs derived from exosomes is depicted in this paper. Re...
