ExTraMapper: Exon- and Transcript-level mappings for orthologous gene pairs

We describe a new method, ExTraMapper, which extracts fine-scale mappings between the exons and transcripts of a given pair of ortholog genes between two organisms using sequence conservation between the two genomes and their gene annotations.

DNABERT: pre-trained Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers model for DNA-language in genome

We adapted the idea of Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) model to genomic DNA setting and developed a deep learning method called DNABERT.

Isoform-level gene signature improves prognostic stratification and accurately classifies glioblastoma subtypes

We designed a platform-independent isoform-level gene-expression based classification system (PIGExClass) that would allow us transfer the gene-signature developed on a high-dimensional platform to a clinically adaptable low-dimensional platform.

NPEBseq: nonparametric empirical bayesian-based procedure for differential expression analysis of RNA-seq data

We developed a novel method to model the RNA-seq data and detect differentially expressed genes and exons across different conditions. The method is compared with the other popular methods for RNA-seq DE analysis, both using simulated and real RNA-seq datasets.

IsoformEx: isoform level gene expression estimation using weighted non-negative least squares from mRNA-Seq data

We present a novel method, called IsoformEx, which is based on weighted non-negative least squares and compared IsoformEx with some of the published methods in accurately estimating the expression levels of transcript isoforms.
