Accurate splice-site prediction is essential to delineate gene structures from sequence data. Several computational techniques have been applied to create a system to predict canonical splice sites. For classification tasks, deep neural networks (DNN...
Splice site recognition is among the most significant and challenging tasks in bioinformatics due to its key role in gene annotation. Effective prediction of splice site requires nucleotide encoding methods that reveal the characteristics of DNA sequ...
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...
Rates of transcription elongation vary within and across eukaryotic gene bodies. Here, we introduce new methods for predicting elongation rates from nascent RNA sequencing data. First, we devise a probabilistic model that predicts nucleotide-specific...
A crucial stage in eukaryote gene expression involves mRNA splicing by a protein assembly known as the spliceosome. This step significantly contributes to generating and properly operating the ultimate gene product. Since non-coding introns disrupt e...

RNA polymerase II (Pol II) generally pauses at certain positions along gene bodies, thereby interrupting the transcription elongation process, which is often coupled with various important biological functions, such as precursor mRNA splicing and gen...
MOTIVATION: In recent years, multiple circular RNAs (circRNA) biogenesis mechanisms have been discovered. Although each reported mechanism has been experimentally verified in different circRNAs, no single biogenesis mechanism has been proposed that c...

Human genes often, through alternative splicing of pre-messenger RNAs, produce multiple mRNAs and protein isoforms that may have similar or completely different functions. Identification of splice sites is, therefore, crucial to understand the gene s...
MOTIVATION: Alternative splice site selection is inherently competitive and the probability of a given splice site to be used also depends on the strength of neighboring sites. Here, we present a new model named the competitive splice site model (COS...
