MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are vital in regulating gene expression through binding to specific target sites on messenger RNAs (mRNAs), a process closely tied to cancer pathogenesis. Identifying miRNA functional targets is essential but challenging, due to in...
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that play a pivotal role as gene expression regulators. These miRNAs are typically approximately 20 to 25 nucleotides long. The maturation of miRNAs requires Dicer cleavage at specific sit...

Accurate identification of RNA modification sites is of great significance in understanding the functions and regulatory mechanisms of RNAs. Recent advances have shown great promise in applying computational methods based on deep learning for accurat...
The genomic distribution of cleavage and polyadenylation (polyA) sites should be co-evolutionally optimized with the local gene structure. Otherwise, spurious polyadenylation can cause premature transcription termination and generate aberrant protein...

Selecting the best model of sequence evolution for a multiple-sequence-alignment (MSA) constitutes the first step of phylogenetic tree reconstruction. Common approaches for inferring nucleotide models typically apply maximum likelihood (ML) methods, ...
We present RBPNet, a novel deep learning method, which predicts CLIP-seq crosslink count distribution from RNA sequence at single-nucleotide resolution. By training on up to a million regions, RBPNet achieves high generalization on eCLIP, iCLIP and m...

The binding of DNA sequences to cell type-specific transcription factors is essential for regulating gene expression in all organisms. Many variants occurring in these binding regions play crucial roles in human disease by disrupting the cis-regulati...
In this study, we investigate how an organism's codon usage bias can serve as a predictor and classifier of various genomic and evolutionary traits across the domains of life. We perform secondary analysis of existing genetic datasets to build severa...
Deep learning is a class of machine learning techniques capable of creating internal representation of data without explicit preprogramming. Hence, in addition to practical applications, it is of interest to analyze what features of biological data m...
Multiple computational approaches have been developed to improve our understanding of genetic variants. However, their ability to identify rare pathogenic variants from rare benign ones is still lacking. Using context annotations and deep learning me...
