As our understanding of Circular RNAs (circRNAs) continues to expand, accumulating evidence has demonstrated that circRNAs can interact with microRNAs and RNA-binding proteins to modulate gene expression. More importantly, a subset of circRNAs has be...
The biological process of RNA translation is fundamental to cellular life and has wide-ranging implications for human disease. Accurate delineation of RNA translation variation represents a significant challenge due to the complexity of the process a...
The 5' UTRs of mRNAs are critical for translation regulation during development, but their in vivo regulatory features are poorly characterized. Here, we report the regulatory landscape of 5' UTRs during early zebrafish embryogenesis using a massivel...
Life on Earth relies on mechanisms to store heritable information and translate this information into cellular machinery required for biological activity. In all known life, storage, regulation, and translation are provided by DNA, RNA, and ribosomes...
BACKGROUND: The 5' untranslated region of mRNA strongly impacts the rate of translation initiation. A recent convolutional neural network (CNN) model accurately quantifies the relationship between massively parallel synthetic 5' untranslated regions ...
mRNA degradation is a central process that affects all gene expression levels, though it remains challenging to predict the stability of a mRNA from its sequence, due to the many coupled interactions that control degradation rate. Here, we carried ou...
Causal inference-assisted machine learning was used to predict photosynthetic bacterial (PSB) protein production capacity and identify key factors. The extreme gradient boosting algorithm effectively predicted protein content, while the gradient boos...
BACKGROUND: The design of nucleotide sequences with defined properties is a long-standing problem in bioengineering. An important application is protein expression, be it in the context of research or the production of mRNA vaccines. The rate of prot...
mRNA therapeutics are revolutionizing the pharmaceutical industry, but methods to optimize the primary sequence for increased expression are still lacking. Here, we design 5'UTRs for efficient mRNA translation using deep learning. We perform polysome...
