Developing new VOmax prediction models from maximal, submaximal and questionnaire variables using support vector machines combined with feature selection.

Computers in biology and medicine
Maximal oxygen uptake (VOmax) is an essential part of health and physical fitness, and refers to the highest rate of oxygen consumption an individual can attain during exhaustive exercise. In this study, for the first time in the literature, we combi...

Integrating network, sequence and functional features using machine learning approaches towards identification of novel Alzheimer genes.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex progressive neurodegenerative disorder commonly characterized by short term memory loss. Presently no effective therapeutic treatments exist that can completely cure this disease. The cause of Alzheim...

Introducing the Big Knowledge to Use (BK2U) challenge.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences
The purpose of the Big Data to Knowledge initiative is to develop methods for discovering new knowledge from large amounts of data. However, if the resulting knowledge is so large that it resists comprehension, referred to here as Big Knowledge (BK),...

RAFP-Pred: Robust Prediction of Antifreeze Proteins Using Localized Analysis of n-Peptide Compositions.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
In extreme cold weather, living organisms produce Antifreeze Proteins (AFPs) to counter the otherwise lethal intracellular formation of ice. Structures and sequences of various AFPs exhibit a high degree of heterogeneity, consequently the prediction ...

Predicting the Organelle Location of Noncoding RNAs Using Pseudo Nucleotide Compositions.

Interdisciplinary sciences, computational life sciences
Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are implicated in various biological processes. Recent findings have demonstrated that the function of ncRNAs correlates with their provenance. Therefore, the recognition of ncRNAs from different organelle genomes will be help...

Predicting Protein-DNA Binding Residues by Weightedly Combining Sequence-Based Features and Boosting Multiple SVMs.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Protein-DNA interactions are ubiquitous in a wide variety of biological processes. Correctly locating DNA-binding residues solely from protein sequences is an important but challenging task for protein function annotations and drug discovery, especia...

Inferring Unknown Biological Function by Integration of GO Annotations and Gene Expression Data.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Characterizing genes with semantic information is an important process regarding the description of gene products. In spite that complete genomes of many organisms have been already sequenced, the biological functions of all of their genes are still ...

HEMEsPred: Structure-Based Ligand-Specific Heme Binding Residues Prediction by Using Fast-Adaptive Ensemble Learning Scheme.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Heme is an essential biomolecule that widely exists in numerous extant organisms. Accurately identifying heme binding residues (HEMEs) is of great importance in disease progression and drug development. In this study, a novel predictor named HEMEsPre...

Improving information retrieval in functional analysis.

Computers in biology and medicine
Transcriptome analysis is essential to understand the mechanisms regulating key biological processes and functions. The first step usually consists of identifying candidate genes; to find out which pathways are affected by those genes, however, funct...
