BACKGROUND: Identifying key characteristics of unknown suspects, such as age, height, and drug use, is essential for advancing forensic investigations.
DNA methylation is a common epigenetic modification that maintains the integrity of the DNA sequence while profoundly influencing gene expression and phenotypic variation. Aberrant DNA methylation has been associated with the onset and progression of...
Monitoring species' presence in an ecosystem is crucial for conservation and understanding habitat diversity, but can be expensive and time consuming. As a result, ecologists have begun using the DNA that animals naturally leave behind in water or so...
Diabetes Mellitus is a global health concern, characterized by high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period, leading to severe complications if left unmanaged. The early identification of individuals at risk is critical for effective intervention ...
DNA is a promising medium for digital data storage due to its exceptional data density and longevity. Practical DNA-based storage systems require selective data retrieval to minimize decoding time and costs. In this work, we introduce CRISPR-Cas9 as ...
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...
