Chemical similarity-based approaches employed to repurpose or develop new treatments for emerging diseases, such as COVID-19, correlates molecular structure-based descriptors of drugs with those of a physiological counterpart or clinical phenotype. W...
BACKGROUND: Noncoding sequences have been demonstrated to possess regulatory functions. Its classification is challenging because they do not show well-defined nucleotide patterns that can correlate with their biological functions. Genomic signal pro...
The rise in metagenomics has led to an exponential growth in virus discovery. However, the majority of these new virus sequences have no assigned host. Current machine learning approaches to predicting virus host interactions have a tendency to focus...
Single nucleotide exact amplicon sequence variants (ASV) of the human gut microbiome were used to evaluate if individuals with a depression phenotype (DEPR) could be identified from healthy reference subjects (NODEP). Microbial DNA in stool samples o...
BACKGROUND: In short-read DNA sequencing experiments, the read coverage is a key parameter to successfully assemble the reads and reconstruct the sequence of the input DNA. When coverage is very low, the original sequence reconstruction from the read...
Due to the large numbers of transcription factors (TFs) and cell types, querying binding profiles of all valid TF/cell type pairs is not experimentally feasible. To address this issue, we developed a convolutional-recurrent neural network model, call...
In the present study, we demonstrate a tunneling nanogap technique to identify individual RNA nucleotides, which can be used as a mechanism to read the nucleobases for direct sequencing of RNA in a solid-state nanopore. The tunneling nanogap is compo...
Understanding the molecular machinery involved in transcriptional regulation is central to improving our knowledge of an organism's development, disease, and evolution. The building blocks of this complex molecular machinery are an organism's genomic...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Enhancers are pivotal DNA elements, which are widely used in eukaryotes for activation of transcription genes. On the basis of enhancer strength, they are further classified into two groups; strong enhancers and weak enhanc...
N6-methyladenosine (mA) refers to methylation of the adenosine nucleotide acid at the nitrogen-6 position. It plays an important role in a series of biological processes, such as splicing events, mRNA exporting, nascent mRNA synthesis, nuclear transl...
