In this era of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), the quest for understanding the genetic architecture of complex diseases is rapidly increasing more than ever before. The development of high throughput genotyping and next generation sequencing ...
OBJECTIVE: This study aims at developing and introducing a new algorithm, called direct causal learner (DCL), for learning the direct causal influences of a single target. We applied it to both simulated and real clinical and genome wide association ...

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has been widely witnessed as a powerful tool for revealing suspicious loci from various diseases. However, real world GWAS tasks always suffer from the data imbalance problem of sufficient control samples and limi...
To find genetic association between complex diseases and phenotypic traits, one important procedure is conducting a joint analysis. Multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) is an efficient method of examining the interactions between genes in genet...
The peroxisomal targeting signal type 1 (PTS1) is a seemingly simple peptide sequence at the C-terminal end of most peroxisomal matrix proteins. PTS1 can be described as a tripeptide with the consensus motif [S/A/C] [K/R/H] L. However, this descripti...

BACKGROUND: We have developed a genome-wide association study analysis method called DEPTH (DEPendency of association on the number of Top Hits) to identify genomic regions potentially associated with disease by considering overlapping groups of cont...
Efficiency, memory consumption, and robustness are common problems with many popular methods for data analysis. As a solution, we present Random Bits Forest (RBF), a classification and regression algorithm that integrates neural networks (for depth),...
MOTIVATION: Recent advances of next-generation sequence technologies have made it possible to rapidly and inexpensively identify gene variations. Knowing the disease association of these gene variations is important for early intervention to treat de...
Modeling the properties and functions of DNA sequences is an important, but challenging task in the broad field of genomics. This task is particularly difficult for non-coding DNA, the vast majority of which is still poorly understood in terms of fun...
