The rapid and widespread adoption of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins in genetically modified (GM) crops has raised concerns about the impact of GM crops on environment and food safety. A sensitive and specific method for detecting Bt proteins in...

Efficient extraction of knowledge from biological data requires the development of structured vocabularies to unambiguously define biological terms. This paper proposes descriptions and definitions to disambiguate the term 'single-exon gene'. Eukaryo...
Adverse side effects of drug-drug interactions induced by human cytochrome P450 (CYP450) inhibition is an important consideration in drug discovery. It is highly desirable to develop computational models that can predict the inhibitive effect of a co...
MOTIVATION: Isoforms are mRNAs produced from the same gene locus by alternative splicing and may have different functions. Although gene functions have been studied extensively, little is known about the specific functions of isoforms. Recently, some...

Adverse effects induced by drug-drug interactions may result in early termination of drug development or even withdrawal of drugs from the market, and many drug-drug interactions are caused by the inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes. There...
Transcription factors (TFs) can bind DNA in a cooperative manner, enabling a mutual increase in occupancy. Through this type of interaction, alternative binding sites can be preferentially bound in different tissues to regulate tissue-specific expres...
MOTIVATION: Alternative splicing makes significant contributions to functional diversity of transcripts and proteins. Many alternatively spliced gene isoforms have been shown to perform specific biological functions under different contexts. In addit...
BACKGROUND: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate diverse biological processes via interactions with proteins. Since the experimental methods to identify these interactions are expensive and time-consuming, many computational methods have been prop...

Alternative splicing enables a gene translating into different isoforms and into the corresponding proteoforms, which actually accomplish various biological functions of a living body. Isoform-isoform interactions (IIIs) provide a higher resolution i...

Alternative splicing produces different isoforms from the same gene locus, it is an important mechanism for regulating gene expression and proteome diversity. Although the prediction of gene(ncRNA)-disease associations has been extensively studied, f...
