The interactions between long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and protein play crucial roles in various biological processes. Computational methods are essential for predicting lncRNA-protein interactions and deciphering their mechanisms. In this chapter, we ...
Splicing factors (SFs) are the major RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and key molecules that regulate the splicing of mRNA molecules through binding to mRNAs. The expression of splicing factors is frequently deregulated in different cancer types, causing ...
Nucleic acid-binding proteins (NABPs), including DNA-binding proteins (DBPs) and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), play important roles in essential biological processes. To facilitate functional annotation and accurate prediction of different types of NA...
MOTIVATION: Accurate prediction of RNA subcellular localization plays an important role in understanding cellular processes and functions. Although post-transcriptional processes are governed by trans-acting RNA binding proteins (RBPs) through intera...
