AFTGAN: prediction of multi-type PPI based on attention free transformer and graph attention network.

Motivation: Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks and transcriptional regulatory networks are critical in regulating cells and their signaling. A thorough understanding of PPIs can provide more insights into cellular physiology at normal and disease states. Although numerous methods have been proposed to predict PPIs, it is still challenging for interaction prediction between unknown proteins.

ScLRTC: imputation for single-cell RNA-seq data via low-rank tensor completion.

Background: With single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) methods, gene expression patterns at the single-cell resolution can be revealed. But as impacted by current technical defects, dropout events in scRNA-seq lead to missing data and noise in the gene-cell expression matrix and adversely affect downstream analyses. Accordingly, the true gene expression level should be recovered before the downstream analysis is carried out.

Prediction of Peptide Detectability Based on CapsNet and Convolutional Block Attention Module.

According to proteomics technology, as impacted by the complexity of sampling in the experimental process, several problems remain with the reproducibility of mass spectrometry experiments, and the peptide identification and quantitative results continue to be random. Predicting the detectability exhibited by peptides can optimize the mentioned results to be more accurate, so such a prediction is of high research significance. This study builds a novel method to predict the detectability of peptides by complying with the capsule network (CapsNet) and the convolutional block attention module (CBAM).

ScCAEs: deep clustering of single-cell RNA-seq via convolutional autoencoder embedding and soft K-means.

Clustering and cell type classification are a vital step of analyzing scRNA-seq data to reveal the complexity of the tissue (e.g. the number of cell types and the transcription characteristics of the respective cell type).
