Porcine single nucleotide polymorphisms and their functional effect: an update.

BMC research notes
OBJECTIVE: To aid in the development of a comprehensive list of functional variants in the swine genome, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were identified from whole genome sequence of 240 pigs. Interim data from 72 animals in this study was publ...

Deep learning identifies genome-wide DNA binding sites of long noncoding RNAs.

RNA biology
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can exert their function by interacting with the DNA via triplex structure formation. Even though this has been validated with a handful of experiments, a genome-wide analysis of lncRNA-DNA binding is needed. In this pap...

Introducing Heuristic Information Into Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for Identifying Epistasis.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Epistasis learning, which is aimed at detecting associations between multiple Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and complex diseases, has gained increasing attention in genome wide association studies. Although much work has been done on mapping...

Novel Neural Network Approach to Predict Drug-Target Interactions Based on Drug Side Effects and Genome-Wide Association Studies.

Human heredity
AIMS: We propose a novel machine learning approach to expand the knowledge about drug-target interactions. Our method may help to develop effective, less harmful treatment strategies and to enable the detection of novel indications for existing drugs...

Data mining and machine learning approaches for the integration of genome-wide association and methylation data: methodology and main conclusions from GAW20.

BMC genetics
BACKGROUND: Multiple layers of genetic and epigenetic variability are being simultaneously explored in an increasing number of health studies. We summarize here different approaches applied in the Data Mining and Machine Learning group at the GAW20 t...

Using recursive feature elimination in random forest to account for correlated variables in high dimensional data.

BMC genetics
BACKGROUND: Random forest (RF) is a machine-learning method that generally works well with high-dimensional problems and allows for nonlinear relationships between predictors; however, the presence of correlated predictors has been shown to impact it...

Utilizing Deep Learning and Genome Wide Association Studies for Epistatic-Driven Preterm Birth Classification in African-American Women.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) are used to identify statistically significant genetic variants in case-control studies. The main objective is to find single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that influence a particular phenotype (i.e., disease ...

MCRiceRepGP: a framework for the identification of genes associated with sexual reproduction in rice.

The Plant journal : for cell and molecular biology
Rice is an important cereal crop, being a staple food for over half of the world's population, and sexual reproduction resulting in grain formation underpins global food security. However, despite considerable research efforts, many of the genes, esp...

A deep convolutional neural network approach for predicting phenotypes from genotypes.

Planta
Deep learning is a promising technology to accurately select individuals with high phenotypic values based on genotypic data. Genomic selection (GS) is a promising breeding strategy by which the phenotypes of plant individuals are usually predicted b...
