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....
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
The identification of transcription factor binding sites and cis-regulatory motifs is a frontier whereupon the rules governing protein-DNA binding are being revealed. Here, we developed a new method (DEep Sequence and Shape mOtif or DESSO) for cis-re...

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...
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 ...
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...
