BACKGROUND: 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing is a widely used method for microbiome composition analysis due to its cost-effectiveness and lower data requirements compared to metagenomic whole-genome sequencing (WGS). However, inherent limitations in 16S...
Fragmentomics features of cell-free DNA represent promising non-invasive biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. A lack of systematic evaluation of biases in feature quantification hinders the adoption of such applications. We compare features derived from ...
Improvements in sequencing technology make the development of new tools for detection of structural variance more and more common. However, since the tools available for the long-read Oxford Nanopore sequencing are limited, and the selection of the o...
Enhancers are short DNA fragments that enhance gene expression by binding to transcription factors. Accurately identifying enhancers and their strength is crucial for understanding gene regulation mechanisms. However, traditional enhancer sequencing ...
We had previously reported a convolutional neural network (CNN) based approach, called the holistic kinetic model (HK model 1), for detecting 5-methylcytosine (5mC) by single molecule real-time sequencing (Pacific Biosciences). In this study, we cons...
The critical stage of every de novo genome assembler is identifying paths in assembly graphs that correspond to the reconstructed genomic sequences. The existing algorithmic methods struggle with this, primarily due to repetitive regions causing comp...
Low-pass single-cell DNA sequencing technologies and algorithmic advancements have enabled haplotype-specific copy number calling on thousands of cells within tumors. However, measurement uncertainty may result in spurious CNAs inconsistent with real...
Simultaneous identification of natural and chemically modified DNA nucleotides at molecular resolution remains a pivotal challenge in genomic science. Despite significant advances in current sequencing technologies, the ability to identify subtle cha...
Promoter prediction is essential for analyzing gene structures, understanding regulatory networks, transcription mechanisms, and precisely controlling gene expression. Recently, computational and deep learning methods for promoter prediction have gai...
The detection of exons is an important area of research in genomic sequence analysis. Many signal-processing methods have been established successfully for detecting the exons based on their periodicity property. However, some improvement is still re...
