Abstract

AIMS AND OBJECTIVE: Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases, taking the lives of millions every year. Traditional methods of treating cancer are expensive and toxic to normal cells. Fortunately, anti-cancer peptides (ACPs) can eliminate this side effect. However, the identification and development of new anti-cancer peptides through experiments take a lot of time and money, therefore, it is necessary to develop a fast and accurate calculation model to identify the anti-cancer peptide. Machine learning algorithms are a good choice.
