OBJECTIVE: Feature selection is a technique widely used in data mining. The aim is to select the best subset of features relevant to the problem being considered. In this paper, we consider feature selection for the classification of gene datasets. G...
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to be significant in numerous biological processes. Hypertension is a form of cardiovascular disease with at least one billion cases worldwide. The present study sought to compare the differential...
It is becoming increasingly necessary to develop computerized methods for identifying the few disease-causing variants from hundreds discovered in each individual patient. This problem is especially relevant for Copy Number Variants (CNVs), which can...
Emergence of compound molecular data coupled to pathway information offers the possibility of using machine learning methods for compound-pathway associations' inference. To provide insights into the global relationship between compounds and their af...
BACKGROUND: Traditional cancer treatments have centered on cytotoxic drugs and general purpose chemotherapy that may not be tailored to treat specific cancers. Identification of molecular markers that are related to different types of cancers might l...
Gene selection plays a crucial role in constructing efficient classifiers for microarray data classification, since microarray data is characterized by high dimensionality and small sample sizes and contains irrelevant and redundant genes. In practic...
To address important challenges in bioinformatics, high throughput data technologies are needed to interpret biological data efficiently and reliably. Clustering is widely used as a first step to interpreting high dimensional biological data, such as...
Naturally inspired evolutionary algorithms prove effectiveness when used for solving feature selection and classification problems. Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) is a relatively new swarm intelligence method. In this paper, we propose a new hybrid gene...
BACKGROUND: Personalized medicine has become a priority in breast cancer patient management. In addition to the routinely used clinicopathological characteristics, clinicians will have to face an increasing amount of data derived from tumor molecular...
BACKGROUND: The proliferation of the scientific literature in the field of biomedicine makes it difficult to keep abreast of current knowledge, even for domain experts. While general Web search engines and specialized information retrieval (IR) syste...
