Operons are groups of consecutive genes that transcribe together under the regulation of a common promoter. They influence protein regulation and various physiological pathways, making their accurate detection desirable. The detection of operons thro...

DNA accessibility has been a powerful tool in locating active regulatory elements in a cell type, but dissecting the combinatorial logic within these regulatory elements has been a continued challenge in the field. Deep learning models have been show...
BACKGROUND: Structural variation (SV), which ranges from 50 bp to [Formula: see text] 3 Mb in size, is an important type of genetic variations. Deletion is a type of SV in which a part of a chromosome or a sequence of DNA is lost during DNA replicati...
BACKGROUND: Nanopore-based DNA sequencing relies on basecalling the electric current signal. Basecalling requires neural networks to achieve competitive accuracies. To improve sequencing accuracy further, new models are continuously proposed with new...
The number of published metagenome assemblies is rapidly growing due to advances in sequencing technologies. However, sequencing errors, variable coverage, repetitive genomic regions, and other factors can produce misassemblies, which are challenging...
BACKGROUND: This pilot study aims to identify and functionally assess pharmacovariants in whole exome sequencing data. While detection of known variants has benefited from pharmacogenomic-dedicated bioinformatics tools before, in this paper we have t...
16S rRNA amplicon sequencing provides a relatively inexpensive culture-independent method for studying microbial communities. Although thousands of such studies have examined diverse habitats, it is difficult for researchers to use this vast trove of...
Enhancers are DNA regions that are responsible for controlling the expression of genes. Enhancers are usually found upstream or downstream of a gene, or even inside a gene's intron region, but are normally located at a distant location from the genes...
Central nervous system tumours represent one of the most lethal cancer types, particularly among children. Primary treatment includes neurosurgical resection of the tumour, in which a delicate balance must be struck between maximizing the extent of r...
