Reconstructing One-Articulated Networks with Distance Matrices.

Journal of computational biology : a journal of computational molecular cell biology
Given a distance matrix M that represents evolutionary distances between any two species, an edge-weighted phylogenetic network N is said to satisfy M if between any pair of species, there exists a path in N with a length equal to the corresponding e...

Patchy promiscuity: machine learning applied to predict the host specificity of and .

Microbial genomics
and are bacterial species that colonize different animal hosts with sub-types that can cause life-threatening infections in humans. Source attribution of zoonoses is an important goal for infection control as is identification of isolates in reserv...

Clustering and Candidate Motif Detection in Exosomal miRNAs by Application of Machine Learning Algorithms.

Interdisciplinary sciences, computational life sciences
BACKGROUND: The clustering pattern and motifs give immense information about any biological data. An application of machine learning algorithms for clustering and candidate motif detection in miRNAs derived from exosomes is depicted in this paper. Re...

Differentiating Thamnocalamus Munro from Fargesia Franchet emend. Yi (Bambusoideae, Poaceae): novel evidence from morphological and neural-network analyses.

Scientific reports
Fargesia Franchet emend. Yi is closely allied with Thamnocalamus Munro but differs in many major morphological characteristics. Based on traditional morphological characters, it is difficult to differentiate these two genera. The current study measur...

Geminivirus data warehouse: a database enriched with machine learning approaches.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: The Geminiviridae family encompasses a group of single-stranded DNA viruses with twinned and quasi-isometric virions, which infect a wide range of dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants and are responsible for significant economic los...

Machine Learning Techniques for Predicting Crop Photosynthetic Capacity from Leaf Reflectance Spectra.

Molecular plant
Harnessing natural variation in photosynthetic capacity is a promising route toward yield increases, but physiological phenotyping is still too laborious for large-scale genetic screens. Here, we evaluate the potential of leaf reflectance spectroscop...

SILVA, RDP, Greengenes, NCBI and OTT - how do these taxonomies compare?

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: A key step in microbiome sequencing analysis is read assignment to taxonomic units. This is often performed using one of four taxonomic classifications, namely SILVA, RDP, Greengenes or NCBI. It is unclear how similar these are and how to...

Large-scale inference of gene function through phylogenetic annotation of Gene Ontology terms: case study of the apoptosis and autophagy cellular processes.

Database : the journal of biological databases and curation
We previously reported a paradigm for large-scale phylogenomic analysis of gene families that takes advantage of the large corpus of experimentally supported Gene Ontology (GO) annotations. This 'GO Phylogenetic Annotation' approach integrates GO ann...

The development of loop-mediated isothermal amplification combined with lateral flow dipstick for detection of Karlodinium veneficum.

Harmful algae
The aim of this study was to develop a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) combined with a chromatographic lateral flow dipstick (LFD) assay to rapidly and specifically detect the Karlodinium veneficum ITS gene. Four groups of LAMP primers ...
