With a target gene sequencing approach, an identification of organisms in a metagenome is quite effortless since only a small reference database of the particular gene is needed. Moreover, by counting the copies of individual genes, also quantitative analysis can be applied. Unfortunately, current bioinformatics tools aim mainly on the analysis of a single metagenome. A cluster analysis, a heatmap of correlation coefficients, biclustering or other statistics techniques can only show relations inside the metagenome or the relation between the metagenome composition and other parameters. On the other hand, there is a lack of tools to provide a comparative analysis of two or more metagenomes. Suitable properties for this kind of analysis can be found in a bipartite graph. Here, we present a novel workflow for finding the suitable representation of metagenomic data to provide a comparative analysis of metagenomes. The resulting graph can take into account information about the actual composition of the metagenome as well as the environment it relates to. Thus, it can provide different view of the data to the naked eye that can complement other techniques such as principal coordinate analysis.","PeriodicalId":186217,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131136991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The diagnostic information of patients with dampness syndrome was selected from 919 cases collected in our previous study. Relevant characteristic variables were chosen using the combined rough set and mutual information (RS-MI) method. These selected variables were then used to construct a DCG model. The selected variables were consistent with the symptoms described in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The classification accuracies of both dampness syndromes were determined through DCG modeling. The accuracies of the dampness-heat accumulating in the spleen-stomach and the dampness obstructing the spleen-stomach were 90.4% and 78.7%, respectively. Therefore, the DCG model was superior to Navie Bayes(NB) model in terms of classification ability. The classification accuracy rate of the DCG model of the dampness obstructing the spleen-stomach was higher by 1.1% than that of the NB model. In conclusion,feature selection and model construction methods can be used to objectively evaluate the TCM syndromes of CG; nevertheless, these methods should be further investigated and promoted.","PeriodicalId":186217,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127834336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Study of a regulatory network modulated by single or multiple modulators' expression levels, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and transcription factors (TFs), in different conditions can further reveal the modulators' roles in diseases such as cancers. Existing computational methods for identifying such modulated regulatory networks are typically carried out by comparing groups of samples dichotomized with respect to the modulator status, ignoring the fact that most biological features are intrinsically continuous variables. Here we devised a sliding window-based regression scheme and proposed the Regression-based Inference of Modulation (RIM) algorithm to infer the dynamic gene regulation modulated by continuous-state modulators. We demonstrated the improvement in performance as well as computation efficiency achieved by RIM. Applying RIM to genome-wide expression profiles of 520 glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumors, we investigated miRNA- and TF-modulated gene regulatory networks and showed their association with dynamic cellular processes and brain-related functions in GBM. Overall, the proposed algorithm provides an efficient and robust scheme for comprehensively studying modulated gene regulatory networks.","PeriodicalId":186217,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134235419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a novel local linear manifold-constrained Vector Autoregression (LVAR) model that considered the time delay among microbial interactions is developed for analyzing microbiomics data in the application.

The manual screening of biomedical literature is an important task in the process of systematic reviews. Researchers and curators have the very demanding, time-consuming and error-prone task of manually identifying documents that must be included in a systematic review concerning a specific problem. We implemented a supervised learning approach to support screening tasks, by automatically flagging potentially selected documents in a list retrieved by a literature database search. To overcome the main issues associated with the automatic literature screening task, we evaluated the use of data sampling, feature combinations, and feature selection methods, generating a total of 105 classification models. The models yielding best results were composed by the Logistic Model Trees classifier, a fairly balanced training set, and feature combination of Bag-Of-Words and MeSH terms. According to our results, the system correctly labels the great majority of relevant documents, and it could be used to support HIV systematic reviews to allow researchers to assess a greater number of documents in less time.","PeriodicalId":186217,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133425509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
