Leveraging expression and network data for protein function prediction
Protein function prediction is one of the prominent problems in bioinformatics today. Protein annotation is slowly falling behind as more and more genomes are being sequenced. Experimental methods are expensive and time consuming, which leaves computational methods to fill the gap. While …

Read alignment using deep neural networks
Read alignment is the process of mapping short DNA sequences into the reference genome. With the advent of consecutively evolving "next generation" sequencing technologies, the need for sequence alignment tools appeared. Many scientific communities and the companies marketing the sequencing …

mRNA localization in Caenorhabditis elegans embryogenesis
From guiding cell specification to regulating protein output, post-transcriptional regulation of mRNA is essential for life. As a result, many mechanisms underlying post-transcriptional regulation are highly conserved across the kingdoms of life. As the spatial resolution of microscopy and …
