A set of sequences is broken down into segment and then a frequency distribution over all oligomers of size p (referred to as p-mers) is obtained to summarize each segment. These summaries are clustered while the order of segments in the set of sequences is preserved in a Markov-type model. Sequence segments within each cluster have very similar DNA/RNA patterns and form a so called quasi-alignment. This fact can be used for a variety of tasks such as species characterization and identification, phylogenetic analysis, functional analysis of sequences and, as in this paper, for discovering conserved regions. Our method is computationally more efficient than multiple sequences alignment since it can apply modern data stream clustering algorithms which run in time linear in the number of segments and thus can help discover highly similar regions across a large number of sequences efficiently. In this paper, we apply the approach to efficiently discover and visualize conserved regions in 16S rRNA.","PeriodicalId":6392,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine Workshops","volume":"75 1","pages":"662-669"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86114842","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}

Some of the important goals are the early detection of safety issues, assurance of proper trial conduct at remote sites, and tracking efficiency and cost. Generating a comprehensive picture of the current state of a trial involves integrating a variety of data sources, including case report forms, laboratory results from contract labs, and safety reports. Since the volume of data is large and is updated repeatedly during the trial, tools to assist in quickly and thoroughly interrogating the data are greatly needed. Of particular importance is the ability to see both aggregate views containing multiple patients as well as the capacity to drill down to individual patients' data points. Here, we present Clinical Case, a tool that has been developed within the Janssen organization and is used for this purpose. Clinical Case provides the ability to quickly integrate SDTM datasets, define both standard and ad hoc data views, and provide regular data updates. Both standard and user-configured views can be persisted, which can be composed of a variety of interactive graphics, including typical visualizations, such as box plots, scatter plots, line charts, tree maps, heat maps, etc., as well as visualizations specifically designed for clinical data, such as the Hy's Law plot, patient timelines plot, and integrated subject listings. The user can define subsets of patients for filtering and highlighting data and use these to compare data across multiple domains. Integrated into the system is the ability to manually annotate patients and data, as well as communicate with trial administrators.","PeriodicalId":6392,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine Workshops","volume":"23 1","pages":"1-1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82810602","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 effect, they regulate expression of a gene or protein. It has been observed that they play an important role in various cellular processes and thus help in carrying out normal functioning of a cell. However, dysregulation of miRNAs is found to be a major cause of a disease. Various studies have also shown the role of miRNAs in cancer and utility of miRNAs for the diagnosis of cancer and other diseases. A large number of works have been conducted to identify differentially expressed miRNAs as unlike with mRNA expression, a modest number of miRNAs might be sufficient to classify human cancers. In this regard, this paper presents a rough set based feature selection algorithm to select miRNAs from expression data that can classify tissue samples into their respective category with minimal error rate. It selects a set of miRNAs by maximizing both the relevance and significance of miRNAs. The effectiveness of the rough set based algorithm, along with a comparison with other related algorithms, is demonstrated on three miRNA microarray expression data sets using the B.632+ bootstrap error rate of support vector machine.","PeriodicalId":6392,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine Workshops","volume":"734 ","pages":"864-871"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91549750","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}

AutoDock is a widely used docking program that can dock small ligands, with upto 5 or 6 rotatable bonds, accurately and quickly. Docking of larger ligands, however, is not very accurate and is computationally expensive. In this paper we present an AutoDock-based incremental docking protocol which docks a large ligand to its target protein in increments. A fragment of the large ligand is first chosen and then docked. Best docked conformations are incrementally grown and docked again, and this process is repeated until all the atoms of the ligand are docked. Each docking operation is performed using AutoDock. However, in each docking operation only a small number of rotatable bonds are allowed to rotate. We did a systematic docking study on a dataset of 73 protein-ligand complexes derived from the core set of PDBbind database. The number of rotatable bonds in the ligands vary from 7 to 30. Docking experiments were done to evaluate the docking performance of the incremental protocol in comparison to AutoDock's standard protocol. Results from the study show that, on average over the dataset, docking of large ligands using our incremental protocol is 23-fold computationally faster than docking using AutoDock's standard protocol and also has comparable or better accuracy. We propose that, for docking large ligands, our incremental protocol can be used as an alternative to AutoDock's standard protocol.","PeriodicalId":6392,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine Workshops","volume":"91 1","pages":"48-55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89149769","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, automated protein complex prediction from PPI data alone is significantly hindered by the high level of noise, sparseness, and highly skewed degree distribution of PPI networks. Here we present a novel network topology-based algorithm to remove spurious interactions and recover missing ones by computational predictions, and to increase the accuracy of protein complex prediction by reducing the impact of hub nodes. The key idea of our algorithm is that two proteins sharing some high-order topological similarities, which are measured by a novel random walk-based procedure, are likely interacting with each other and may belong to the same protein complex. Applying our algorithm to a yeast protein-protein interaction network, we found that the interactions in the reconstructed PPI network have more significant biological relevance than the original network, assessed by multiple types of information, including gene ontology, gene expression, essentiality, conservation between species, and known protein complexes. Comparison with several existing methods show that the network reconstructed by our method has the highest quality. Finally, using two independent graph clustering algorithms, we found that the reconstructed network has resulted in significantly improved prediction accuracy of protein complexes.","PeriodicalId":6392,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine Workshops","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83146804","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, TFs rarely regulate their targets universally. The context of activation of a TF can change the transcriptional response of targets. Direct multiple regulation typical to mammalian genes complicates direct inference of TF targets from gene expression data. We present a novel statistic that infers context-specific TF regulation based upon the CoGAPS algorithm, which infers overlapping gene expression patterns resulting from coregulation. Numerical experiments with simulated data showed that this statistic correctly inferred targets that are common to multiple TFs, except in cases where the signal from a TF is negligible relative to noise level and signal from other TFs. The statistic is robust to moderate levels of error in the simulated gene sets, identifying fewer false positives than false negatives. Significantly, the regulatory statistic refines the number of transcription factor targets relevant to cell signaling in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) to genes consistent with the phosphorylation patterns of TFs identified in previous studies. As formulated, the proposed regulatory statistic has wide applicability to inferring set membership in integrated datasets. This statistic could be naturally extended to account for prior probabilities of set membership or to add candidate gene targets.","PeriodicalId":6392,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine Workshops","volume":"14 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91212120","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}
