Advanced integration which considers factors such as ethnicity, social history, medical history, family history need to be investigated. Integrating the preventive healthcare guidelines with the EHR based on above factors requires the extraction of the relevant information from these guidelines using text mining and natural language processing techniques. In this research, we propose a framework to extract information according to the EHR modules. Our results show that the proposed framework successfully extracts terms and concepts, and adequately maps them to the proposed data interchange structure that is based on the EHR functional modules. The extracted information and the populated data interchange structures eases the integration of the modifiable risk factors with the patient's records in the EHR. The proposed framework can be extended to other clinical healthcare guidelines where modifiable risk factors are critical.","PeriodicalId":262603,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 17th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BIBE)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125118624","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}

However, none of them are specialized for directed biomolecular networks (DBNs), such as gene regulatory networks (GRNs) and metabolic networks (MNs). It is challenging and meaningful to achieve optimal mapping in DBN alignment. In this article, we propose a new algorithm, referred to as Directed Hungary Greedy Algorithm (DHGA), for the alignment of DBNs. DHGA focuses on a directed graph and catches information on the direction of edges. Furthermore, both the homology of biomolecules and the similarities of the network topologies are taken into consideration. In DHGA, expert knowledge can be brought in to pre-match biomolecules. We verified the effectiveness and robustness of DHGA using simulation datasets. Our experiments demonstrate that the performance of DHGA is clearly improved when expert knowledge is introduced. Moreover, we conducted DHGA on two metabolic pathway maps from KEGG and identified 21 pairs of similar cell cycle regulatory relationships between human and yeast, 12 of which were supported by references indicating that the paired relationships have the same function.","PeriodicalId":262603,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 17th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BIBE)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123636634","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}

Taking advantage of multiple modalities of biomarkers, over the past few years, several machine learning-based CAD approaches have been proposed to address this high-dimensional classification problem. This study presents a novel GDA-based CAD system on the basis of a tenfold cross validation and a held-out test data set. Subjects considered in this study included 187 CN, 301 MCI, and 131 AD subjects from the Alzheimers Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database. In the tenfold cross validation, the proposed system achieved an average F1 score of 97.20%, accuracy of 96.00%, sensitivity of 99.14%, and specificity of 88.67% for discriminating together the MCI and AD groups from the CN group; and an average F1 score of 79.82%, accuracy of 87.43%, sensitivity of 79.09%, and specificity of 91.25% for discriminating AD from MCI. By testing on the held-out test data, for discriminating MCI and AD from CN, an accuracy of 93.28%, a sensitivity of 98.78%, and a specificity of 81.08% were obtained. These results also show that by separating left and right hemispheres of the brain into two decisional spaces, and then combining their outputs, the GDA-based CAD system demonstrates a high potential for clinical application.","PeriodicalId":262603,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 17th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BIBE)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127930871","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}

Apache Spark provides an in-memory framework for distributed computational genomics that has realized significant improvements over conventional pipelines in speed and flexibility. Even in the Spark framework, however, pipeline components create I/O bottlenecks by reading and writing intermediate files that are later discarded. Apache Ignite provides a framework for persisting a Spark dataset in memory between modular pipeline applications, and Unix named pipes have long provided a mechanism by which data can be transferred in-memory. We compared the runtime performance of a standard genomics pipeline that transmits Spark data using named pipes and/or Ignite's in-memory datagrid.

However, the technique can probe only a small number of molecular interactions with previous attempts at detecting more than 11 fluorophores simultaneously resulting in barcodes that are too big for in vivo analysis, expensive and involve time-consuming detection schemes. Here, we create DNA self-assembled Resonance Energy Transfer networks that generate a unique time-resolved fluorescence signature when probed by a series of light pulses. An experimentally informed theoretical model predicts that networks containing up to 125 fluorophores may be distinguished from other extremely similar networks. Through the largest experimental survey of RET networks, we demonstrate that minor changes made to the RET network result in a unique, experimentally resolvable optical signature. We show that we can generate over 300 unique signatures using only 3 fluorophores. Furthermore, from 1296 time-resolved fluorescence signatures, we show that the optical signatures are reproducible 99.48% of the time. The ability to simultaneously detect multiple biological entities, the high spatial information density and the high repeatability of the synthetic RET networks will potentially find use in many biological and clinical applications.","PeriodicalId":262603,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 17th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BIBE)","volume":"136 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133889125","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 classifiers were trained and tested with millions of image patches from two datasets collected from 27 consenting adults using handheld intraoral cameras. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves for the test sets were calculated to be 0.7694 and 0.8720. Once trained, the classifiers predict the location of plaque in white light images without requiring specialized biomarker imaging devices or expert intervention. This generalized approach can be useful in other domains where diagnostic biomarker predicting can augment expert knowledge using standard white light images.","PeriodicalId":262603,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 17th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BIBE)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124253913","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}
