Accurate Identification of Antioxidant Proteins Based on a Combination of Machine Learning Techniques and Hidden Markov Model Profiles.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
Antioxidant proteins (AOPs) play important roles in the management and prevention of several human diseases due to their ability to neutralize excess free radicals. However, the identification of AOPs by using wet-lab experimental techniques is often...

Application of the random forest algorithm to Streptococcus pyogenes response regulator allele variation: from machine learning to evolutionary models.

Scientific reports
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a globally significant bacterial pathogen. The GAS genotyping gold standard characterises the nucleotide variation of emm, which encodes a surface-exposed protein that is recombinogenic and under immune-based selection ...

Recent Applications of Deep Learning Methods on Evolution- and Contact-Based Protein Structure Prediction.

International journal of molecular sciences
The new advances in deep learning methods have influenced many aspects of scientific research, including the study of the protein system. The prediction of proteins' 3D structural components is now heavily dependent on machine learning techniques tha...

Detecting adaptive introgression in human evolution using convolutional neural networks.

eLife
Studies in a variety of species have shown evidence for positively selected variants introduced into a population via introgression from another, distantly related population-a process known as adaptive introgression. However, there are few explicit ...

Cross-Predicting Essential Genes between Two Model Eukaryotic Species Using Machine Learning.

International journal of molecular sciences
Experimental studies of and have contributed substantially to our understanding of molecular and cellular processes in metazoans at large. Since the publication of their genomes, functional genomic investigations have identified genes that are esse...

Automatic Search-and-Replace From Examples With Coevolutionary Genetic Programming.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
We describe the design and implementation of a system for executing search-and-replace text processing tasks automatically, based only on examples of the desired behavior. The examples consist of pairs describing the original string and the desired m...

On the Unfounded Enthusiasm for Soft Selective Sweeps III: The Supervised Machine Learning Algorithm That Isn't.

Genes
In the last 15 years or so, soft selective sweep mechanisms have been catapulted from a curiosity of little evolutionary importance to a ubiquitous mechanism claimed to explain most adaptive evolution and, in some cases, most evolution. This transfor...

Harnessing machine learning to guide phylogenetic-tree search algorithms.

Nature communications
Inferring a phylogenetic tree is a fundamental challenge in evolutionary studies. Current paradigms for phylogenetic tree reconstruction rely on performing costly likelihood optimizations. With the aim of making tree inference feasible for problems i...

Trivial and nontrivial error sources account for misidentification of protein partners in mutual information approaches.

Scientific reports
The problem of finding the correct set of partners for a given pair of interacting protein families based on multi-sequence alignments (MSAs) has received great attention over the years. Recently, the native contacts of two interacting proteins were ...
