McEnhancer: predicting gene expression via semi-supervised assignment of enhancers to target genes.

Genome biology
Transcriptional enhancers regulate spatio-temporal gene expression. While genomic assays can identify putative enhancers en masse, assigning target genes is a complex challenge. We devised a machine learning approach, McEnhancer, which links target g...

The folded k-spectrum kernel: A machine learning approach to detecting transcription factor binding sites with gapped nucleotide dependencies.

PloS one
Understanding the molecular machinery involved in transcriptional regulation is central to improving our knowledge of an organism's development, disease, and evolution. The building blocks of this complex molecular machinery are an organism's genomic...

EMQIT: a machine learning approach for energy based PWM matrix quality improvement.

Biology direct
BACKGROUND: Transcription factor binding affinities to DNA play a key role for the gene regulation. Learning the specificity of the mechanisms of binding TFs to DNA is important both to experimentalists and theoreticians. With the development of high...

Machine-Learning-Assisted Approach for Discovering Novel Inhibitors Targeting Bromodomain-Containing Protein 4.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
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...

TIGERi: modeling and visualizing the responses to perturbation of a transcription factor network.

BMC bioinformatics
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...

Quantitative diagnosis of breast tumors by morphometric classification of microenvironmental myoepithelial cells using a machine learning approach.

Scientific reports
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...

Identification of transcription factors that may reprogram lung adenocarcinoma.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
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...

Imputation for transcription factor binding predictions based on deep learning.

PLoS computational biology
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....

A high-order representation and classification method for transcription factor binding sites recognition in Escherichia coli.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
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...
