Using neural networks for reducing the dimensions of single-cell RNA-Seq data.

Nucleic acids research
While only recently developed, the ability to profile expression data in single cells (scRNA-Seq) has already led to several important studies and findings. However, this technology has also raised several new computational challenges. These include ...

CMDR based differential evolution identifies the epistatic interaction in genome-wide association studies.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Detecting epistatic interactions in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is a computational challenge. Such huge numbers of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) combinations limit the some of the powerful algorithms to be applied to det...

Identification of microRNA precursors using reduced and hybrid features.

Molecular bioSystems
MicroRNAs (also called miRNAs) are a group of short non-coding RNA molecules. They play a vital role in the gene expression of transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes. However, abnormality of their expression has been observed in cancer, h...

A unified model based multifactor dimensionality reduction framework for detecting gene-gene interactions.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Gene-gene interaction (GGI) is one of the most popular approaches for finding and explaining the missing heritability of common complex traits in genome-wide association studies. The multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method has b...

Generalized Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction (GMDR) Analysis of Drug-Metabolizing Enzyme-Encoding Gene Polymorphisms may Predict Treatment Outcomes in Indian Breast Cancer Patients.

World journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: Prediction of response and toxicity of chemotherapy can help personalize the treatment and choose effective yet non-toxic treatment regimen for a breast cancer patient. Interplay of variations in various drug-metabolizing enzyme (DME)-enc...

[Detecting gene-gene/environment interactions by model-based multifactor dimensionality reduction].

Zhonghua liu xing bing xue za zhi = Zhonghua liuxingbingxue zazhi
This paper introduces a method called model-based multifactor dimensionality reduction (MB-MDR), which was firstly proposed by Calle et al., and can be applied for detecting gene-gene or gene-environment interactions in genetic studies. The basic pri...

Feature selection using feature dissimilarity measure and density-based clustering: application to biological data.

Journal of biosciences
Reduction of dimensionality has emerged as a routine process in modelling complex biological systems. A large number of feature selection techniques have been reported in the literature to improve model performance in terms of accuracy and speed. In ...

Mining nutrigenetics patterns related to obesity: use of parallel multifactor dimensionality reduction.

International journal of bioinformatics research and applications
This paper aims to enlighten the complex etiology beneath obesity by analysing data from a large nutrigenetics study, in which nutritional and genetic factors associated with obesity were recorded for around two thousand individuals. In our previous ...

Epistasis analysis using multifactor dimensionality reduction.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Here we introduce the multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) methodology and software package for detecting and characterizing epistasis in genetic association studies. We provide a general overview of the method and then highlight some of the ke...
