Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers all over the world, which bring about more than 450,000 deaths each year. Although this malignancy has been extensively studied by a large number of researchers, its prognosis is still poor. Since thera...
BACKGROUND: Traditional methods for drug discovery are time-consuming and expensive, so efforts are being made to repurpose existing drugs. To find new ways for drug repurposing, many computational approaches have been proposed to predict drug-target...
Accurate detection of somatic mutations is still a challenge in cancer analysis. Here we present NeuSomatic, the first convolutional neural network approach for somatic mutation detection, which significantly outperforms previous methods on different...
BACKGROUND: Microarray datasets are an important medical diagnostic tool as they represent the states of a cell at the molecular level. Available microarray datasets for classifying cancer types generally have a fairly small sample size compared to t...
BACKGROUND: The high growth of Next Generation Sequencing data currently demands new knowledge extraction methods. In particular, the RNA sequencing gene expression experimental technique stands out for case-control studies on cancer, which can be ad...
Studies on multilocus interactions have mainly investigated the associations between genetic variations from the related genes and histopathological tumor characteristics in patients. However, currently, the identification and characterization of sus...
Synthetic lethality is the synthesis of mutations leading to cell death. Tumor-specific synthetic lethality has been targeted in research to improve cancer therapy. With the advances of techniques in molecular biology, such as RNAi and CRISPR/Cas9 ge...
