Polyadenylation is the process of addition of poly(A) tail to mRNA 3' ends. Identification of motifs controlling polyadenylation plays an essential role in improving genome annotation accuracy and better understanding of the mechanisms governing gene...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive and ultimately fatal neurodegenerative disease, caused by the loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Although 10% of ALS cases are familial (FALS), the majority are sporadic (S...
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...
N-methyladenosine (m6A), the most prevalent internal mRNA modification in higher eukaryotes, plays diverse roles in cellular regulation. By incorporating both sequence- and genome-derived features, Fan et al. designed a novel Transformer-BiGRU framew...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators in various biological processes to cleave or repress translation of messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Accurately predicting miRNA targets is essential for developing miRNA-based therapies for diseases such as cancer a...
MOTIVATION: Extracellular miRNAs (exmiRs) and intracellular mRNAs both can serve as promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets for various diseases. However, exmiR expression data is often noisy, and obtaining intracellular mRNA expression data usu...
MOTIVATION: The modification of N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) in RNA is a conserved epigenetic mark that plays a crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation, mRNA stability, and translation efficiency. Traditional methods for detecting ac4C modificati...
The clinical adoption of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) has prompted the development of various computational strategies for siRNA design, from traditional data analysis to advanced machine learning techniques. However, previous studies have inadequ...
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is one of the most abundant and well-known modifications in messenger RNAs since its discovery in the 1970s. Recent studies have demonstrated that m6A is involved in various biological processes, such as alternative splicing ...
Subcellular localization of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a universal mechanism for precise and efficient control of the translation process. Although many computational methods have been constructed by researchers for predicting mRNA subcellu...
