A machine learning strategy to identify candidate binding sites in human protein-coding sequence
Background: The splicing of RNA transcripts is thought to be partly promoted and regulated by sequences embedded within exons. Known sequences include binding sites for SR protein...

Application of machine learning in SNP discovery
Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) constitute more than 90% of the genetic variation, and hence can account for most trait differences among individuals in a given ...

Ab initio identification of human microRNAs based on structure motifs
Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, non-coding RNA molecules that are directly involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. The mature miRNA sequence bind...

Automatic detection of exonic splicing enhancers (ESEs) using SVMs
Background: Exonic splicing enhancers (ESEs) activate nearby splice sites and promote the inclusion (vs. exclusion) of exons in which they reside, while being a binding site for S...

Predicting functionally important SNP classes based on negative selection
Background: With the advent of cost-effective genotyping technologies, genome-wide association studies allow researchers to examine hundreds of thousands of single nucleotide poly...
