BACKGROUND: Alternative splicing is a pivotal mechanism of post-transcriptional modification that contributes to the transcriptome plasticity and proteome diversity in metazoan cells. Although many splicing regulations around the exon/intron regions ...
Cross-species prediction of TF binding remains a major challenge due to the rapid evolutionary turnover of individual TF binding sites, resulting in cross-species predictive performance being consistently worse than within-species performance. In thi...
The rational design, activity prediction, and adaptive application of biological elements (bio-elements) are crucial research fields in synthetic biology. Currently, a major challenge in the field is efficiently designing desired bio-elements and acc...
Characterizing the binding preferences of transcription factors (TFs) in different cell types and conditions is key to understand how they orchestrate gene expression. Here, we develop TFscope, a machine learning approach that identifies sequence fea...
The gene regulatory network (GRN) of biological cells governs a number of key functionalities that enable them to adapt and survive through different environmental conditions. Close observation of the GRN shows that the structure and operational prin...

Transcription factors (TFs) regulation is required for the vast majority of biological processes in living organisms. Some diseases may be caused by improper transcriptional regulation. Identifying the target genes of TFs is thus critical for underst...
Individual may response to drug treatment differently due to their genetic variants located in enhancers. These variants can alter transcription factor's (TF) binding strength, affect enhancer's chromatin activity or interaction, and eventually chang...
