OBJECTIVES: To determine gene-gene interactions and missing heritability of complex diseases is a challenging topic in genome-wide association studies. The multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method is one of the most commonly used methods for...
Cancer is one of the most life-threatening diseases and mutations in several genes are the vital cause in tumorigenesis. Protein kinases play essential roles in cancer progression and specifically, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is an import...
BACKGROUND: Despite ongoing reduction in genotyping costs, genomic studies involving large numbers of species with low economic value (such as Black Tiger prawns) remain cost prohibitive. In this scenario DNA pooling is an attractive option to reduce...
Infra-species taxonomy is a prerequisite to compare features such as virulence in different pathogen lineages. Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex taxonomy has rapidly evolved in the last 20 years through intensive clinical isolation, advances in sequ...
BACKGROUND: Multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) is widely used to analyze interactions of genes to determine the complex relationship between diseases and polymorphisms in humans. However, the astronomical number of high-order combinations mak...
Protein phosphorylation is important in cellular pathways and altered in disease. We developed MIMP (http://mimp.baderlab.org/), a machine learning method to predict the impact of missense single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) on kinase-substrate interac...
BACKGROUND: Recently, artificial neural networks (ANN) have been proposed as promising machines for marker-based genomic predictions of complex traits in animal and plant breeding. ANN are universal approximators of complex functions, that can captur...
Modifications to the global run-on and sequencing (GRO-seq) protocol that enrich for 5'-capped RNAs can be used to reveal active transcriptional regulatory elements (TREs) with high accuracy. Here, we introduce discriminative regulatory-element detec...
Pummelo (Citrus grandis) is an important fruit crop worldwide because of its nutritional value. To accelerate the pummelo breeding program, it is essential to obtain extensive genetic information and develop relative molecular markers. Here, we obtai...

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) make up the most common form of mutations in human cytochrome P450 enzymes family, and have the potential to bring with different drug responses or specific diseases in individual patients. Here, based on machin...
