ProbeRating: a recommender system to infer binding profiles for nucleic acid-binding proteins.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England) | 2020

The interaction between proteins and nucleic acids plays a crucial role in gene regulation and cell function. Determining the binding preferences of nucleic acid-binding proteins (NBPs), namely RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and transcription factors (TFs), is the key to decipher the protein-nucleic acids interaction code. Today, available NBP binding data from in vivo or in vitro experiments are still limited, which leaves a large portion of NBPs uncovered. Unfortunately, existing computational methods that model the NBP binding preferences are mostly protein specific: they need the experimental data for a specific protein in interest, and thus only focus on experimentally characterized NBPs. The binding preferences of experimentally unexplored NBPs remain largely unknown.

word2vec (tool)

RRID:SCR_014776

Software tool which provides implementation of the continuous bag-of-words and skip-gram architectures for computing vector representations of words. These representations can be used in many natural language processing applications and for further research. It takes a text corpus as input and produces the word vectors as output. It first constructs a vocabulary from the training text data and then learns vector representation of words. The resulting word vector file can be used as features in natural language processing and machine learning applications.
