To facilitate precision medicine and whole-genome annotation, we developed a machine-learning technique that scores how strongly genetic variants affect RNA splicing, whose alteration contributes to many diseases. Analysis of more than 650,000 intron...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects nearly 3% of children and has a strong genetic component. While hundreds of ASD risk genes have been identified through sequencing studies, the genetic heterogeneity of ASD ...

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...

Deep neural networks have demonstrated improved performance at predicting sequence specificities of DNA- and RNA-binding proteins. However, it remains unclear why they perform better than previous methods that rely on k-mers and position weight matri...
MOTIVATION: Protein-RNA interactions play essential roles in many biological processes, including pre-mRNA processing, post-transcriptional gene regulation and RNA degradation. Accurate identification of binding sites on RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) i...
Protein-RNA interactions are of vital importance to a variety of cellular activities. Both experimental and computational techniques have been developed to study the interactions. Because of the limitation of the previous database, especially the lac...
Proteins with intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are common among eukaryotes. Many IDRs interact with nucleic acids and proteins. Annotation of these interactions is supported by computational predictors, but to date, only one tool that predicts...
