Transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) play an important role in gene expression regulation. Many computational methods for TFBS prediction need sufficient labeled data. However, many transcription factors (TFs) lack labeled data in cell types. W...
BACKGROUND: Transcription factors (TFs) play important roles in the regulation of gene expression. They can activate or block transcription of downstream genes in a manner of binding to specific genomic sequences. Therefore, motif discovery of these ...
Due to the large numbers of transcription factors (TFs) and cell types, querying binding profiles of all valid TF/cell type pairs is not experimentally feasible. To address this issue, we developed a convolutional-recurrent neural network model, call...

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential value of machine learning (ML)-based high-dimensional quantitative CT texture analysis in predicting the mutation status of the gene encoding the protein polybromo-1 (PBRM1) in patient...
BACKGROUND: Atomic details of protein-DNA complexes can provide insightful information for better understanding of the function and binding specificity of DNA binding proteins. In addition to experimental methods for solving protein-DNA complex struc...

Transcription factors (TFs) are the major components of human gene regulation. In particular, they bind onto specific DNA sequences and regulate neighborhood genes in different tissues at different developmental stages. Non-synonymous single nucleoti...
It is well known that DNA sequence contains a certain amount of transcription factors (TF) binding sites, and only part of them are identified through biological experiments. However, these experiments are expensive and time-consuming. To overcome th...
