TL;DR

SLxGO, a network-independent machine learning framework that predicts SL interactions directly from semantic representations of Gene Ontology annotations encoded via BioBERT-derived embeddings, is developed, establishing a comprehensive, genome-scale resource for context-specific vulnerability mapping across the human interactome.

Systematic prioritisation of context-specific paralog pair vulnerabilities in cancer

Genome-wide CRISPR screening has enabled the development of dependency maps in hundreds of cancer cell lines, facilitating the identification of genetic vulnerabilities associated with specific biomarkers and supporting precision oncology efforts. However, current dependency maps largely capture single-gene effec...

GiGCN: a network-based framework for uncovering synthetic lethal and viable genetic interactions

Abstract Genetic interactions (GIs) underpin the functional connectivity of genes and pathways, and are important for dissecting genotype–phenotype relationships and identifying therapeutic targets for diseases. However, the scale of the human genome restricts systematic experimental interrogation of GIs. Existing comp...

Investigating cross-organism prediction of prokaryotic essential proteins using unsupervised language model and ensemble strategy.

This study proposes DeepPEP, a large language model-based framework designed to reliably transfer essential protein annotations between distantly related organisms and suggests that DeepPEP is a powerful strategy for prokaryotic essential protein prediction.

Interpretable prediction of nucleic acid-binding proteins using a protein language model

It is demonstrated that attention-based protein language models can accurately identify nucleic acid-binding proteins directly from sequence data and reveal biologically meaningful sequence determinants of binding, establishing an interpretable and scalable framework for proteome-wide characterization of protein–nuclei...
