Large-scale benchmarking of circRNA detection tools reveals large differences in sensitivity but not in precision

The detection of circular RNA molecules (circRNAs) is typically based on short-read RNA sequencing data processed using computational tools. Numerous such tools have been developed, but a systematic comparison with orthogonal validation is missing. …

Ythdf2 regulates cardiac remodeling through its mRNA target transcripts

m6A mRNA methylation controls cardiomyocyte function and increased overall m6A levels are a stereotyping finding in heart failure independent of the underlying etiology. However, it is largely unknown how the information is read by m6A reader …

Large-scale compression of genomic sequence databases with the Burrows-Wheeler transform

MOTIVATION: The Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT) is the foundation of many algorithms for compression and indexing of text data, but the cost of computing the BWT of very large string collections has prevented these techniques from being widely …
