Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines offer an adaptable and scalable platform for cancer immunotherapy, requiring optimal design to elicit a robust and targeted immune response. Recent advancements in bioinformatics and artificial intelligence (AI) have sig...
BACKGROUND: Adenine base editors (ABEs) enable the conversion of A•T to G•C base pairs. Since the sequence of the target locus influences base editing efficiency, efforts have been made to develop computational models that can predict base editing ou...
Riboswitches are a class of noncoding RNA structures that interact with target ligands to cause a conformational change that can then execute some regulatory purpose within the cell. Riboswitches are ubiquitous and well characterized in bacteria and ...
Interferon (IFN) is a pivotal agent against hepatitis B virus (HBV) in clinic, but there is a lack of accurate biomarkers to predict the response to IFN therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Our study aimed to investigate potential targ...
BACKGROUND: Given the increasing prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), there is a critical need for accurate non-invasive early diagnostic markers.
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...
Regulating inflammatory microglia presents a promising strategy for treating neurodegenerative and autoimmune disorders, yet effective therapeutic agents delivery to these cells remains a challenge. This study investigates modified lipid nanoparticle...
N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C), a pivotal post-transcriptional RNA modification, is central to understanding transcriptional regulation and diverse biological processes. As a key determinant of RNA structural stability and functional regulation, ac4C has b...
Accurate annotation of coding regions in RNAs is essential for understanding gene translation. We developed a deep neural network to directly predict and analyze translation initiation and termination sites from RNA sequences. Trained with human tran...
With the rise of small interfering RNA (siRNA) as a therapeutic tool, effective siRNA design is crucial. Current methods often emphasize sequence-related features, overlooking structural information. To address this, we introduce ENsiRNA, a multimoda...
