Generative molecular models generate novel molecules with desired properties by searching chemical space. Traditional combinatorial optimization methods, such as genetic algorithms, have demonstrated superior performance in various molecular optimization tasks. However, these methods do not utilize docking simulation to inform the design process, and heavy dependence on the quality and quantity of available data, as well as require additional structural optimization to become candidate drugs.

Advancements in single-cell sequencing research have revolutionized our understanding of cellular heterogeneity and functional diversity through the analysis of single-cell transcriptomes and genomes. A crucial step in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis is identifying cell types. However, scRNA-seq data are often high dimensional and sparse, and manual cell type identification can be time-consuming, subjective, and lack reproducibility.

Recent years have seen tremendous success in the design of novel drug molecules through deep generative models. Nevertheless, existing methods only generate drug-like molecules, which require additional structural optimization to be developed into actual drugs. In this study, a deep learning method for generating target-specific ligands was proposed.

Biomedical named entity recognition is one of the important tasks of biomedical literature mining. With the development of natural language processing technology, many deep learning models are used to extract valuable information from the biomedical literature, which promotes the development of effective BioNER models. However, for specialized domains with diverse and complex contexts and a richer set of semantically related entity types (e.

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are a major component of the cellular biochemical reaction network. Rich sequence information and machine learning techniques reduce the dependence of exploring PPIs on wet experiments, which are costly and time-consuming. This paper proposes a PPI prediction model, multi-scale architecture residual network for PPIs (MARPPI), based on dual-channel and multi-feature.

Background: Protein-protein interaction (PPI) is very important for many biochemical processes. Therefore, accurate prediction of PPI can help us better understand the role of proteins in biochemical processes. Although there are many methods to predict PPI in biology, they are time-consuming and lack accuracy, so it is necessary to build an efficiently and accurately computational model in the field of PPI prediction.
