Unlabelled: This article describes DP-Bind, a web server for predicting DNA-binding sites in a DNA-binding protein from its amino acid sequence. The web server implements three machine learning methods: support vector machine, kernel logistic regression and penalized logistic regression. Prediction can be performed using either the input sequence alone or an automatically generated profile of evolutionary conservation of the input sequence in the form of PSI-BLAST position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM). PSSM-based kernel logistic regression achieves the accuracy of 77.2%, sensitivity of 76.4% and specificity of 76.6%. The outputs of all three individual methods are combined into a consensus prediction to help identify positions predicted with high level of confidence.

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia, characterized by progressive neurodegeneration and cognitive dysfunction. The disease aetiology is closely associated with proteinopathies, mitochondrial abnormalities, and elevated ROS generation, which are some of the primary markers for AD brains.
Objectives: The current research was intended to elucidate the chemical interaction of β-pinene against potential targets and evaluate its neuroprotective potential in ICV-STZ-induced sAD.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and spatial transcriptomics (ST) techniques hold great value in evaluating the heterogeneity and spatial characteristics of hematopoietic cells within tissues. These two techniques are highly complementary, with scRNA-seq offering single-cell resolution and ST retaining spatial information. However, there is an urgent demand for well-organized and user-friendly toolkits capable of handling single-cell and spatial information.

The ARID1A gene, frequently mutated in cancer, encodes the AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1 A, a key component of the chromatin remodeling SWI/SNF complex. The ARID1A protein features a conserved DNA-binding domain (ARID domain) of approximately 100 residues crucial for its function. Despite the frequency of mutations, the impact on ARID1A's stability and contribution to cancer progression remains unclear.
