Pseudo-3D Clustering

Submitted by ChenLiang on Mon, 01/09/2017 - 10:03

Module identification is a frequently used approach for mining local structures with more significance in global networks. Recently, a wide variety of bilayer networks are emerging to characterize the more complex biological processes. In the light of special topological properties of bilayer networks and the accompanying challenges, there is yet no effective method aiming at bilayer module identification to probe the modular organizations from the more inspiring bilayer networks.

IMOTA

Submitted by ChenLiang on Tue, 01/09/2018 - 17:02

Web repositories for almost all 'omics' types have been generated-detailing the repertoire of representatives across different tissues or cell types. A logical next step is the combination of these valuable sources. With IMOTA (interactive multi omics tissue atlas), we developed a database that includes 23 725 relations between miRNAs and 23 tissues, 310 932 relations between mRNAs and the same tissues as well as 63 043 relations between proteins and the 23 tissues in Homo sapiens. IMOTA also contains data on tissue-specific interactions, e.g.

AtCircDB

Submitted by ChenLiang on Tue, 01/09/2018 - 17:16

Circular RNAs are widely existing in eukaryotes. However, there is as yet no tissue-specific Arabidopsis circular RNA database, which hinders the study of circular RNA in plants. Here, we used 622 Arabidopsis RNA sequencing data sets from 87 independent studies hosted at NCBI SRA and developed AtCircDB to systematically identify, store and retrieve circular RNAs. By analyzing back-splicing sites, we characterized 84685 circular RNAs, 30648 tissue-specific circular RNAs and 3486 microRNA-circular RNA interactions.

EVLncRNAs

Submitted by ChenLiang on Tue, 01/09/2018 - 17:29

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important functional roles in various biological processes. Early databases were utilized to deposit all lncRNA candidates produced by high-throughput experimental and/or computational techniques to facilitate classification, assessment and validation. As more lncRNAs are validated by low-throughput experiments, several databases were established for experimentally validated lncRNAs. However, these databases are small in scale (with a few hundreds of lncRNAs only) and specific in their focuses (plants, diseases or interactions).

Selecting the available treatment for each cancer patient from genomic context is a core goal of precision medicine, but innovative approaches with mechanism interpretation and improved performance are still highly needed. Through utilizing in vitro chemotherapy response data coupled with gene and miRNA expression profiles, we applied a network-based approach that identified markers not as individual molecules but as functional groups extracted from the integrated transcription factor and miRNA regulatory network.

BiCliques Merging

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators that repress the expression of their targets. They are known to work cooperatively with genes and play important roles in numerous cellular processes. Identification of miRNA regulatory modules (MRMs) would aid deciphering the combinatorial effects derived from the many-to-many regulatory relationships in complex cellular systems. Here, we develop an effective method called BiCliques Merging (BCM) to predict MRMs based on bicliques merging.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play essential roles in plant growth, development and stress responses through post-transcriptionally regulating the expression levels of their target mRNAs. Although some tools and databases were developed for predicting the relationships between miRNAs and their targets (miR-Tar), most of them were dependent on computational methods without experimental validations. With development of degradome sequencing techniques, researchers can identify potential interactions based on degradome sequencing data.

EPLMI

Submitted by ChenLiang on Tue, 01/09/2018 - 17:50

The interaction of miRNA and lncRNA is known to be important for gene regulations. However, not many computational approaches have been developed to analyse known interactions and predict the unknown ones. Given that there are now more evidences that suggest that lncRNA-miRNA interactions are closely related to their relative expression levels in the form of a titration mechanism, we analyzed the patterns in large-scale expression profiles of known lncRNA-miRNA interactions.

EDMRP

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

Plants are continuously subjected to infection by pathogens, including bacteria and viruses. Bacteria can inject a variety of effector proteins into the host to reprogram host defense mechanism. It is known that microRNAs participate in plant disease resistance to bacterial pathogens and previous studies have suggested that some bacterial effectors have evolved to disturb the host's microRNA-regulated pathways; and so enabling infection.

m6AVar

Submitted by ChenLiang on Tue, 01/09/2018 - 18:45

Identifying disease-causing variants among a large number of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) is still a major challenge. Recently, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has become a research hotspot because of its critical roles in many fundamental biological processes and a variety of diseases. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the effect of variants on m6A modification, in order to gain a better understanding of them.
