Predicting subcellular localization has become a valuable alternative to time-consuming experimental methods. Major drawbacks of many of these predictors is their lack of interpretability and the fact that they do not provide an estimate of the confidence of an individual prediction. We present YLoc, an interpretable web server for predicting subcellular localization. YLoc uses natural language to explain why a prediction was made and which biological property of the protein was mainly responsible for it. In addition, YLoc estimates the reliability of its own predictions. YLoc can, thus, assist in understanding protein localization and in location engineering of proteins. The YLoc web server is available online at www.multiloc.org/YLoc.

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.

Interactions between proteins and RNAs are essential for the proper functioning of cells, and mutations in these molecules may lead to diseases. These protein mutations alter the strength of interactions between the protein and RNA, generally described as binding affinity (Δ). Hence, the affinity change upon mutation (ΔΔ) is an important parameter for understanding the effect of mutations in protein-RNA complexes.
