Current computational methods for exon-intron structure prediction from a cluster of transcript (EST, mRNA) data do not exhibit the time and space efficiency necessary to process large clusters of over than 20,000 ESTs and genes longer than…
Identifying cell types and subtypes in routine histopathology is fundamental for understanding disease. Existing tile-based models capture nuclear detail but miss the broader tissue context that influences cell identity. Current human…
Genome wide comparisons between enteric bacteria yield large sets of conserved putative regulatory sites on a gene by gene basis that need to be clustered into regulons. Using the assumption that regulatory sites can be represented as…
Ultrathin membranes have drawn much attention due to their unprecedented spatial resolution for DNA nanopore sequencing. However, the high translocation velocity (3000-50000 nt/ms) of DNA molecules moving across such membranes limits their…
Differentiating between the two main subtypes of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Crohns disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) is a persistent clinical challenge due to overlapping presentations. This study introduces a novel…
From the simple measurement of tissue attributes in pathology workflow to designing an explainable diagnostic/prognostic AI tool, access to accurate semantic segmentation of tissue regions in histology images is a prerequisite. However,…
Motivation: Proteins are known to undergo conformational changes in the course of their functions. The changes in conformation are often attributable to a small fraction of residues within the protein. Therefore identification of these…
State-of-the-art methods of attribute detection from faces almost always assume the presence of a full, unoccluded face. Hence, their performance degrades for partially visible and occluded faces. In this paper, we introduce SPLITFACE, a…
The identification of genes essential for survival is important for the understanding of the minimal requirements for cellular life and for drug design. As experimental studies with the purpose of building a catalog of essential genes for a…
Annotations of gene structures and regulatory elements can inform genome-wide association studies (GWAS). However, choosing the relevant annotations for interpreting an association study of a given trait remains challenging. We describe a…
A common problem in bioinformatics is related to identifying gene regulatory regions marked by relatively high frequencies of motifs, or deoxyribonucleic acid sequences that often code for transcription and enhancer proteins. Predicting…
Pruning effectively compresses overparameterized models. Despite the success of pruning methods for discriminative models, applying them for generative models has been relatively rarely approached. This study conducts structured pruning on…
Proteins appear to be the most dramatic natural example of self-organized criticality (SOC), a concept that explains many otherwise apparently unlikely phenomena. Protein conformational functionality is often dominated by long-range…
We present HistoAtlas, a pan-cancer computational atlas that extracts 38 interpretable histomic features from 6,745 diagnostic H&E slides across 21 TCGA cancer types and systematically links every feature to survival, gene expression,…
Spatial transcriptomics (ST) has emerged as a powerful technology for bridging histology imaging with gene expression profiling. However, its application has been limited by low throughput and the need for specialized experimental…
Complete genome sequences contain valuable information about natural selection, but extracting this information for short, widely scattered noncoding elements remains a challenging problem. Here we introduce a new computational method for…
The notion that transcription factors bind DNA only through specific, consensus binding sites has been recently questioned. In a pioneering study by Pugh and Venters no specific consensus motif for the positioning of the human…
We fit the Fourier transforms of solvent accessibility and hydrophobicity profiles of a representative set of proteins to a joint multi-variable Gaussian. This allows us to separate the intrinsic tendencies of sequence and structure…
The inapplicability of amino acid covariation methods to small protein families has limited their use for structural annotation of whole genomes. Recently, deep learning has shown promise in allowing accurate residue-residue contact…
Haplotyping is the bioinformatics problem of predicting likely haplotypes based on given genotypes. It can be approached using Gusfield's perfect phylogeny haplotyping (PPH) method for which polynomial and linear time algorithms exist.…
