KeBABS: an R package for kernel-based analysis of biological sequences.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
KeBABS provides a powerful, flexible and easy to use framework for KE: rnel- B: ased A: nalysis of B: iological S: equences in R. It includes efficient implementations of the most important sequence kernels, also including variants that allow for tak...

Prediction of cancer proteins by integrating protein interaction, domain frequency, and domain interaction data using machine learning algorithms.

BioMed research international
Many proteins are known to be associated with cancer diseases. It is quite often that their precise functional role in disease pathogenesis remains unclear. A strategy to gain a better understanding of the function of these proteins is to make use of...

Prediction and analysis of quorum sensing peptides based on sequence features.

PloS one
Quorum sensing peptides (QSPs) are the signaling molecules used by the Gram-positive bacteria in orchestrating cell-to-cell communication. In spite of their enormous importance in signaling process, their detailed bioinformatics analysis is lacking. ...

Identifying DNA-binding proteins by combining support vector machine and PSSM distance transformation.

BMC systems biology
BACKGROUND: DNA-binding proteins play a pivotal role in various intra- and extra-cellular activities ranging from DNA replication to gene expression control. Identification of DNA-binding proteins is one of the major challenges in the field of genome...

More challenges for machine-learning protein interactions.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Machine learning may be the most popular computational tool in molecular biology. Providing sustained performance estimates is challenging. The standard cross-validation protocols usually fail in biology. Park and Marcotte found that even...

A Machine Learning Approach to Explain Drug Selectivity to Soluble and Membrane Protein Targets.

Molecular informatics
Improved understanding of the forces that determine drug specificity to their targets is important for drug design and discovery, as well as for gaining knowledge about molecular recognition. Here, we present a machine learning approach that includes...

GlycoMine: a machine learning-based approach for predicting N-, C- and O-linked glycosylation in the human proteome.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Glycosylation is a ubiquitous type of protein post-translational modification (PTM) in eukaryotic cells, which plays vital roles in various biological processes (BPs) such as cellular communication, ligand recognition and subcellular reco...

Identification of human drug targets using machine-learning algorithms.

Computers in biology and medicine
Identification of potential drug targets is a crucial task in the drug-discovery pipeline. Successful identification of candidate drug targets in entire genomes is very useful, and computational prediction methods can speed up this process. In the cu...

Prediction of β-lactamase and its class by Chou's pseudo-amino acid composition and support vector machine.

Journal of theoretical biology
β-Lactam class of antibiotics is used as major therapeutic agent against a number of pathogenic microbes. The widespread and indiscriminate use of antibiotics to treat bacterial infection has prompted evolution of several evading mechanisms from the ...

Discrimination of acidic and alkaline enzyme using Chou's pseudo amino acid composition in conjunction with probabilistic neural network model.

Journal of theoretical biology
Enzyme catalysis is one of the most essential and striking processes among of all the complex processes that have evolved in living organisms. Enzymes are biological catalysts, which play a significant role in industrial applications as well as in me...
