Quantification of the absolute microbial abundance in a human stool sample is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the microbial ecosystem, but this information is lost upon metagenomic sequencing. While several methods exist to measure absol...
Deep learning models (DLMs) have gained importance in predicting, detecting, translating, and classifying a diversity of inputs. In bioinformatics, DLMs have been used to predict protein structures, transcription factor-binding sites, and promoters. ...
Operons are groups of consecutive genes that transcribe together under the regulation of a common promoter. They influence protein regulation and various physiological pathways, making their accurate detection desirable. The detection of operons thro...
Essential genes are vitally important to the survival and reproduction of organisms. Many machine learning methods have been widely employed to predict essential genes and have obtained satisfactory results. However, most of these methods are supervi...
The intricate details of how proteins bind to proteins, DNA, and RNA are crucial for the understanding of almost all biological processes. Disease-causing sequence variants often affect binding residues. Here, we described a new, comprehensive system...

The argonaute protein (Ago) exists in almost all organisms. In eukaryotes, it functions as a regulatory system for gene expression. In prokaryotes, it is a type of defense system against foreign invasive genomes. The Ago system has been engineered fo...
Lysine acetylation is one of the most important types of protein post-translational modifications (PTM) that are widely involved in cellular regulatory processes. To fully understand the regulatory mechanism of acetylation, identification of acetylat...
BACKGROUND: High-throughput technologies produce huge amounts of heterogeneous biological data at all cellular levels. Structuring these data together with biological knowledge is a critical issue in biology and requires integrative tools and methods...
Accurate computational identification of promoters remains a challenge as these key DNA regulatory regions have variable structures composed of functional motifs that provide gene-specific initiation of transcription. In this paper we utilize Convolu...
MOTIVATION: Two-component systems (TCS) are the main signalling pathways of prokaryotes, and control a wide range of biological phenomena. Their functioning depends on interactions between TCS proteins, the specificity of which is poorly understood.
