Alignment-free methods, more time and memory efficient than alignment-based methods, have been widely used for comparing genome sequences or raw sequencing samples without assembly. However, in this study, we show that alignment-free dissimilarity ca...
Bipolar disorder (BPD) is often confused with major depression, and current diagnostic questionnaires are subjective and time intensive. The aim of this study was to develop a new Bipolar Diagnosis Checklist in Chinese (BDCC) by using machine learnin...
BACKGROUND: The use of machine learning (ML) algorithms to study suicidality has recently been recommended. Our aim was to explore whether ML approaches have the potential to improve the prediction of suicide attempt (SA) risk. Using the epidemiologi...

As a large amount of genetic data are accumulated, an effective analytical method and a significant interpretation are required. Recently, various methods of machine learning have emerged to process genetic data. In addition, machine learning analysi...
Predicting the progression of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) has been held back for decades due to the lack of sufficient longitudinal data required for the development of novel machine learning algorithms. This study proposes a novel machine learning algo...
BACKGROUND: - Adolescence is characterized by biological, emotional, and behavioral changes. The onset of depression during this vulnerable time may confer specific risks. This study examined whether symptoms of depression were associated with age at...

Genipin can improve weak mechanical properties and control high degradation rate of gelatin, as a cross-linker of gelatin which is widely used in tissue engineering. In this study, genipin cross-linked gelatin biodegradable porous scaffolds with diff...
Resting-state fMRI has shown the ability to predict task activation on an individual basis by using a general linear model (GLM) to map resting-state network features to activation z-scores. The question remains whether the relatively simplistic GLM ...
Metisa plana (Walker) is a leaf defoliating pest that is able to cause staggering economical losses to oil palm cultivation. Considering the economic devastation that the pest could bring, an early warning system to predict its outbreak is crucial. T...
