With advancements in synthetic biology, the cost and the time needed for designing and synthesizing customized gene products have been steadily decreasing. Many research laboratories in academia as well as industry routinely create genetically engine...
Several computational approaches for predicting subcellular localization have been developed and proposed. These approaches provide diverse performance because of their different combinations of protein features, training datasets, training strategie...
In this paper, a step-by-step classification algorithm based on double-layer SVM model is constructed to predict the secondary structure of proteins. The most important feature of this algorithm is to improve the prediction accuracy of α+β and α/β cl...
Machine learning (ML) is ubiquitous in bioinformatics, due to its versatility. One of the most crucial aspects to consider while training a ML model is to carefully select the optimal feature encoding for the problem at hand. Biophysical propensity s...

The work aiming to unravel the correlation between protein sequence and function in the absence of structural information can be highly rewarding. We present a new way of considering descriptors from the amino acids index database for modeling and pr...
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are extensively expressed in cells and tissues, and play crucial roles in human diseases and biological processes. Recent studies have reported that circRNAs could function as RNA binding protein (RBP) sponges, meanwhile RBPs...
Succinylation is a type of protein post-translational modification (PTM), which can play important roles in a variety of cellular processes. Due to an increasing number of site-specific succinylated peptides obtained from high-throughput mass spectro...
Typical analyses of mass spectrometry data only identify amino acid sequences that exist in reference databases. This restricts the possibility of discovering new peptides such as those that contain uncharacterized mutations or originate from unexpec...
This paper reports the CASP13 results of distance-based contact prediction, threading, and folding methods implemented in three RaptorX servers, which are built upon the powerful deep convolutional residual neural network (ResNet) method initiated by...
RNA binding proteins (RBPs) determine RNA process from synthesis to decay, which play a key role in RNA transport, translation and degradation. Therefore, exploring RBPs' function from the amino acid sequence using computational methods has become on...
