Localizing and Classifying Adaptive Targets with Trend Filtered Regression.

Molecular biology and evolution
Identifying genomic locations of natural selection from sequence data is an ongoing challenge in population genetics. Current methods utilizing information combined from several summary statistics typically assume no correlation of summary statistics...

Quantitative Modelling of the Waddington Epigenetic Landscape.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
C.H. Waddington introduced the epigenetic landscape as a metaphor to represent cellular decision-making during development. Like a population of balls rolling down a rough hillside, developing cells follow specific trajectories (valleys) and eventual...

Res2s2aM: Deep residual network-based model for identifying functional noncoding SNPs in trait-associated regions.

Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing. Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing
Noncoding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their target genes are important components of the heritability of diseases and other polygenic traits. Identifying these SNPs and target genes could potentially reveal new molecular mechanisms and...

Unsupervised GRN Ensemble.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Inferring gene regulatory networks from expression data is a very challenging problem that has raised the interest of the scientific community. Different algorithms have been proposed to try to solve this issue, but it has been shown that different m...

Tree-Based Learning of Regulatory Network Topologies and Dynamics with Jump3.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Inference of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from time series data is a well-established field in computational systems biology. Most approaches can be broadly divided in two families: model-based and model-free methods. These two families are highly...

Unsupervised Gene Network Inference with Decision Trees and Random Forests.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
In this chapter, we introduce the reader to a popular family of machine learning algorithms, called decision trees. We then review several approaches based on decision trees that have been developed for the inference of gene regulatory networks (GRNs...

Towards an accurate and efficient heuristic for species/gene tree co-estimation.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Species and gene trees represent how species and individual loci within their genomes evolve from their most recent common ancestors. These trees are central to addressing several questions in biology relating to, among other issues, spec...

Applications of Machine Learning Methods to Genomic Selection in Breeding Wheat for Rust Resistance.

The plant genome
New methods and algorithms are being developed for predicting untested phenotypes in schemes commonly used in genomic selection (GS). The prediction of disease resistance in GS has its own peculiarities: a) there is consensus about the additive natur...

COSSMO: predicting competitive alternative splice site selection using deep learning.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Alternative splice site selection is inherently competitive and the probability of a given splice site to be used also depends on the strength of neighboring sites. Here, we present a new model named the competitive splice site model (COS...

Multiobjective multifactor dimensionality reduction to detect SNP-SNP interactions.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-SNP interactions (SSIs) are popular markers for understanding disease susceptibility. Multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) can successfully detect considerable SSIs. Currently, MDR-based methods ...
