Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) is implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of different cancers, inflammatory diseases and heart failure. Much effort has been dedicated toward discovering novel scaffold BRD4 inhibitors (BRD4is) with differ...
BACKGROUND: Transcription factor (TF) networks play a key role in controlling the transfer of genetic information from gene to mRNA. Much progress has been made on understanding and reverse-engineering TF network topologies using a range of experimen...
Machine learning systems have recently received increased attention for their broad applications in several fields. In this study, we show for the first time that histological types of breast tumors can be classified using subtle morphological differ...
BACKGROUND: Lung adenocarcinoma is one of most threatening disease to human health. Although many efforts have been devoted to its genetic study, few researches have been focused on the transcription factors which regulate tumor initiation and progre...
Understanding the cell-specific binding patterns of transcription factors (TFs) is fundamental to studying gene regulatory networks in biological systems, for which ChIP-seq not only provides valuable data but is also considered as the gold standard....
BACKGROUND: Identifying transcription factors binding sites (TFBSs) plays an important role in understanding gene regulatory processes. The underlying mechanism of the specific binding for transcription factors (TFs) is still poorly understood. Previ...
The binding and contribution of transcription factors (TF) to cell specific gene expression is often deduced from open-chromatin measurements to avoid costly TF ChIP-seq assays. Thus, it is important to develop computational methods for accurate TF b...
BACKGROUND: Pose generation error is usually quantified as the difference between the geometry of the pose generated by the docking software and that of the same molecule co-crystallised with the considered protein. Surprisingly, the impact of this e...
