%%%                        ACM copyrights explicitly permit abstracting

%%%                        bibsource keys in the bibliography entries

%%%                        BibTeX citation tags are uniformly chosen

%%%                        year is a 4-digit number, and abbrev is a
%%%                        3-letter condensation of important title

                 groups of orthologous genes from a large set of genomes
                 by a new clustering algorithm on a weighted
                 multipartite graph. The method assigns a score to an
                 arbitrary subset of genes from multiple genomes to
                 assess the orthologous relationships between genes in
                 the subset. This score is computed using sequence
                 similarities between the member genes and the
                 phylogenetic relationship between the corresponding
                 genomes. An ortholog cluster is found as the subset
                 with the highest score, so ortholog clustering is
                 formulated as a combinatorial optimization problem. The
                 algorithm for finding an ortholog cluster runs in time
                 $ O(|E| + |V| l o g|V|) $, where $V$ and $E$ are the

                 However, if we discretize the similarity scores into a

                 ensure highly accurate classification of cancers from
                 microarray data by using supervised machine learning
                 algorithms. The significance of finding the minimum
                 gene subsets is three-fold: (1) It greatly reduces the
                 computational burden and `noise' arising from
                 irrelevant genes. In the examples studied in this
                 paper, finding the minimum gene subsets even allows for
                 extraction of simple diagnostic rules which lead to
                 accurate diagnosis without the need for any
                 classifiers. (2) It simplifies gene expression tests to
                 include only a very small number of genes rather than
                 thousands of genes, which can bring down the cost for
                 cancer testing significantly. (3) It calls for further
                 investigation into the possible biological relationship
                 between these small numbers of genes and cancer
                 development and treatment. Our simple yet very
                 effective method involves two steps. In the first step,
                 we choose some important genes using a feature
                 importance ranking scheme. In the second step, we test
                 the classification capability of all simple
                 combinations of those important genes by using a good
                 classifier. For three `small' and `simple' data sets
                 with two, three, and four cancer (sub)types, our
                 approach obtained very high accuracy with only two or
                 three genes. For a `large' and `complex' data set with
                 14 cancer types, we divided the whole problem into a
                 group of binary classification problems and applied the
                 2--step approach to each of these binary classification
                 problems. Through this `divide-and-conquer' approach,
                 we obtained accuracy comparable to previously reported
                 results but with only 28 genes rather than 16,063
                 genes. In general, our method can significantly reduce
                 the number of genes required for highly reliable

                 genome shotgun assembly is an unsolved problem. Since
                 reads in repeat regions cannot be easily attributed to
                 a unique location in the genome, current assemblers may
                 place these reads arbitrarily. As a result, the
                 base-assignment error rate in repeats is likely to be
                 much higher than that in the rest of the genome. We
                 developed an iterative algorithm, EULER-AIR, that is
                 able to correct base-assignment errors in finished
                 genome sequences in public databases. The Wolbachia
                 genome is among the best finished genomes. Using this
                 genome project as an example, we demonstrated that
                 EULER-AIR can (1) discover and correct base-assignment
                 errors, (2) provide accurate read assignments, (3)
                 utilize finishing reads for accurate base-assignment,
                 and (4) provide guidance for designing finishing
                 experiments. In the genome of Wolbachia, EULER-AIR
                 found 16 positions with ambiguous base-assignment and
                 two positions with erroneous bases. Besides Wolbachia,
                 many other genome sequencing projects have
                 significantly fewer finishing reads and, hence, are
                 likely to contain more base-assignment errors in
                 repeats. We demonstrate that EULER-AIR is a software
                 tool that can be used to find and correct
                 base-assignment errors in a genome assembly project.",

                 accurately identify the site of origin of a tumor. With
                 the emergence and rapid advancement of DNA microarray
                 technologies, constructing gene expression profiles for
                 different cancer types has already become a promising
                 means for cancer classification. In addition to
                 research on binary classification such as normal versus
                 tumor samples, which attracts numerous efforts from a
                 variety of disciplines, the discrimination of multiple
                 tumor types is also important. Meanwhile, the selection
                 of genes which are relevant to a certain cancer type
                 not only improves the performance of the classifiers,
                 but also provides molecular insights for treatment and
                 drug development. Here, we use Semisupervised Ellipsoid
                 ARTMAP (ssEAM) for multiclass cancer discrimination and
                 particle swarm optimization for informative gene
                 selection. ssEAM is a neural network architecture
                 rooted in Adaptive Resonance Theory and suitable for
                 classification tasks. ssEAM features fast, stable, and
                 finite learning and creates hyperellipsoidal clusters,
                 inducing complex nonlinear decision boundaries. PSO is
                 an evolutionary algorithm-based technique for global
                 optimization. A discrete binary version of PSO is
                 employed to indicate whether genes are chosen or not.

  abstract =     "One goal of contemporary proteome research is the
                 elucidation of cellular protein interactions. Based on
                 currently available protein-protein interaction and
                 domain data, we introduce a novel method, Maximum
                 Specificity Set Cover (MSSC), for the prediction of
                 protein-protein interactions. In our approach, we map
                 the relationship between interactions of proteins and
                 their corresponding domain architectures to a
                 generalized weighted set cover problem. The application
                 of a greedy algorithm provides sets of domain
                 interactions which explain the presence of protein
                 interactions to the largest degree of specificity.
                 Utilizing domain and protein interaction data of {\em
                 S. cerevisiae}, MSSC enables prediction of previously
                 unknown protein interactions, links that are well
                 supported by a high tendency of coexpression and
                 functional homogeneity of the corresponding proteins.
                 Focusing on concrete examples, we show that MSSC
                 reliably predicts protein interactions in well-studied
                 molecular systems, such as the 26S proteasome and RNA
                 polymerase II of \bioname{S. cerevisiae}. We also show that
                 the quality of the predictions is comparable to the
                 Maximum Likelihood Estimation while MSSC is faster.

                 sequencing projects, it is straightforward to
                 reconstruct diploid consensus sequences. In reality,
                 however, this is not true. Although there are proposed
                 methods to reconstruct haplotypes from genome
                 sequencing projects, an accuracy assessment is required
                 to evaluate the confidence of the estimated diploid
                 consensus sequences. In this paper, we define the
                 confidence score of diploid consensus sequences. It
                 requires the calculation of the likelihood of an
                 assembly. To calculate the likelihood, we propose a
                 linear time algorithm with respect to the number of
                 polymorphic sites. The likelihood calculation and
                 confidence score are used for further improvements of
                 haplotype estimation in two directions. One direction
                 is that low-scored phases are disconnected. The other
                 direction is that, instead of using nominal frequency
                 1/2, the haplotype frequency is estimated to reflect
                 the actual contribution of each haplotype. Our method
                 was evaluated on the simulated data whose polymorphism
                 rate (1.2 percent) was based on Ciona intestinalis. As
                 a result, the high accuracy of our algorithm was
                 indicated: The true positive rate of the haplotype
                 estimation was greater than 97 percent.",

                 tree $T$ on $n$ leaves with a path metric $d$, consider
                 the pairwise distances $ d(u, v) $ between leaves. It
                 is well known that these determine the tree and the
                 $d$-length of all edges. Here, we consider distortions
                 $ \hat {d} $ of $d$ such that, for all leaves $u$ and
                 $v$, it holds that $ |d(u, v) - \hat {d}(u, v)| < f / 2

                 system regulation and intracellular pathway
                 identification. A popular approach for intracellular
                 flux estimation involves using $^{13}{\rm C}$ tracer
                 experiments to label states that can be measured by
                 nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry or gas
                 chromatography mass spectrometry. However, the bilinear
                 balance equations derived from $^{13}{\rm C}$ tracer
                 experiments and the noisy measurements require a
                 nonlinear optimization approach to obtain the optimal
                 solution. In this paper, the flux quantification
                 problem is formulated as an error-minimization problem
                 with equality and inequality constraints through the
                 $^{13}{\rm C}$ balance and stoichiometric equations.
                 The stoichiometric constraints are transformed to a
                 null space by singular value decomposition.
                 Self-adaptive evolutionary algorithms are then
                 introduced for flux quantification. The performance of
                 the evolutionary algorithm is compared with ordinary
                 least squares estimation by the simulation of the
                 central pentose phosphate pathway. The proposed
                 algorithm is also applied to the central metabolism of
                 Corynebacterium glutamicum under lysine-producing
                 conditions. A comparison between the results from the
                 proposed algorithm and data from the literature is
                 given. The complexity of a metabolic system with
                 bidirectional reactions is also investigated by
                 analyzing the fluctuations in the flux estimates when
                 available measurements are varied.",

                 powerful technique for global gene expression
                 profiling, allowing simultaneous analysis of thousands
                 of transcripts without prior structural and functional
                 knowledge. Pattern discovery and visualization have
                 become fundamental approaches to analyzing such
                 large-scale gene expression data. From the pattern
                 discovery perspective, clustering techniques have
                 received great attention. However, due to the
                 statistical nature of SAGE data (i.e., underlying
                 distribution), traditional clustering techniques may
                 not be suitable for SAGE data analysis. Based on the
                 adaptation and improvement of Self-Organizing Maps and
                 hierarchical clustering techniques, this paper presents
                 two new clustering algorithms, namely, PoissonS and
                 PoissonHC, for SAGE data analysis. Tested on synthetic
                 and experimental SAGE data, these algorithms
                 demonstrate several advantages over traditional pattern
                 discovery techniques. The results indicate that, by
                 incorporating statistical properties of SAGE data,
                 PoissonS and PoissonHC, as well as a hybrid approach
                 (neuro-hierarchical approach) based on the combination
                 of PoissonS and PoissonHC, offer significant
                 improvements in pattern discovery and visualization for
                 SAGE data. Moreover, a user-friendly platform, which
                 may improve and accelerate SAGE data mining, was

  abstract =     "Heterogeneous genetic and epigenetic alterations are
                 commonly found in human non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL).
                 One such epigenetic alteration is aberrant methylation
                 of gene promoter-related CpG islands, where
                 hypermethylation frequently results in transcriptional
                 inactivation of target genes, while a decrease or loss
                 of promoter methylation (hypomethylation) is frequently
                 associated with transcriptional activation. Discovering
                 genes with these relationships in NHL or other types of
                 cancers could lead to a better understanding of the
                 pathobiology of these diseases. The simultaneous
                 analysis of promoter methylation using Differential
                 Methylation Hybridization (DMH) and its associated gene
                 expression using Expressed CpG Island Sequence Tag
                 (ECIST) microarrays generates a large volume of
                 methylation-expression relational data. To analyze this
                 data, we propose a set of algorithms based on fuzzy
                 sets theory, in particular Possibilistic c-Means (PCM)
                 and cluster fuzzy density. For each gene, these
                 algorithms calculate measures of confidence of various
                 methylation-expression relationships in each NHL
                 subclass. Thus, these tools can be used as a means of
                 high volume data exploration to better guide biological

  abstract =     "Microarray technology has generated vast amounts of
                 gene expression data with distinct patterns. Based on
                 the premise that genes of correlated functions tend to
                 exhibit similar expression patterns, various machine
                 learning methods have been applied to capture these
                 specific patterns in microarray data. However, the
                 discrepancy between the rich expression profiles and
                 the limited knowledge of gene functions has been a
                 major hurdle to the understanding of cellular networks.
                 To bridge this gap so as to properly comprehend and
                 interpret expression data, we introduce Relevance
                 Feedback to microarray analysis and propose an
                 interactive learning framework to incorporate the
                 expert knowledge into the decision module. In order to
                 find a good learning method and solve two intrinsic
                 problems in microarray data, high dimensionality and
                 small sample size, we also propose a semisupervised
                 learning algorithm: Kernel Discriminant-EM (KDEM). This
                 algorithm efficiently utilizes a large set of unlabeled
                 data to compensate for the insufficiency of a small set
                 of labeled data and it extends the linear algorithm in
                 Discriminant-EM (DEM) to a kernel algorithm to handle
                 nonlinearly separable data in a lower dimensional
                 space. The Relevance Feedback technique and KDEM
                 together construct an efficient and effective
                 interactive semisupervised learning framework for
                 microarray analysis. Extensive experiments on the yeast
                 cell cycle regulation data set and Plasmodium
                 falciparum red blood cell cycle data set show the
                 promise of this approach.",

                 imbalanced database of patterns of high dimension is
                 difficult due to the curse-of-dimensionality and the
                 bias of the training toward the majority classes. Such
                 a problem has arisen while diagnosing genetic
                 abnormalities by classifying a small database of
                 fluorescence in situ hybridization signals of types
                 having different frequencies of occurrence. We propose
                 and experimentally study using the cytogenetic domain
                 two solutions to the problem. The first is hierarchical
                 decomposition of the classification task, where each
                 hierarchy level is designed to tackle a simpler problem
                 which is represented by classes that are approximately
                 balanced. The second solution is balancing the data by
                 up-sampling the minority classes accompanied by
                 dimensionality reduction. Implemented by the naive
                 Bayesian classifier or the multilayer perceptron neural
                 network, both solutions have diminished the problem and
                 contributed to accuracy improvement. In addition, the
                 experiments suggest that coping with the smallness of

  abstract =     "Subcellular localization is one of the key properties
                 in functional annotation of proteins. Support vector
                 machines (SVMs) have been widely used for automated
                 prediction of subcellular localizations. Existing
                 methods differ in the protein encoding schemes used. In
                 this study, we present two methods for protein encoding
                 to be used for SVM-based subcellular localization
                 prediction: n{\hbox{-}}\rm peptide compositions with
                 reduced amino acid alphabets for larger values of $n$
                 and pairwise sequence similarity scores based on whole
                 sequence and N-terminal sequence. We tested the methods
                 on a common benchmarking data set that consists of
                 2,427 eukaryotic proteins with four localization sites.
                 As a result of 5-fold cross-validation tests, the
                 encoding with n{\hbox{-}}\rm peptide compositions
                 provided the accuracies of 84.5, 88.9, 66.3, and 94.3
                 percent for cytoplasmic, extracellular, mitochondrial,
                 and nuclear proteins, where the overall accuracy was
                 87.1 percent. The second method provided 83.6, 87.7,
                 87.9, and 90.5 percent accuracies for individual
                 locations and 87.8 percent overall accuracy. A hybrid
                 system, which we called PredLOC, makes a final decision
                 based on the results of the two presented methods which
                 achieved an overall accuracy of 91.3 percent, which is
                 better than the achievements of many of the existing
                 methods. The new system also outperformed the recent
                 methods in the experiments conducted on a new-unique

  abstract =     "Recent advances in high throughput experiments and
                 annotations via published literature have provided a
                 wealth of interaction maps of several biomolecular
                 networks, including metabolic, protein-protein, and
                 protein-DNA interaction networks. The architecture of
                 these molecular networks reveals important principles
                 of cellular organization and molecular functions.
                 Analyzing such networks, i.e., discovering dense
                 regions in the network, is an important way to identify
                 protein complexes and functional modules. This task has
                 been formulated as the problem of finding heavy
                 subgraphs, the Heaviest k{\hbox{-}}\rm Subgraph Problem
                 (k{\hbox{-}}\rm HSP), which itself is NP-hard. However,
                 any method based on the k{\hbox{-}}\rm HSP requires the
                 parameter $k$ and an exact solution of k{\hbox{-}}\rm
                 HSP may still end up as a `spurious' heavy subgraph,
                 thus reducing its practicability in analyzing large
                 scale biological networks. We proposed a new
                 formulation, called the rank-HSP, and two dynamical
                 systems to approximate its results. In addition, a
                 novel metric, called the Standard deviation and Mean
                 Ratio (SMR), is proposed for use in `spurious' heavy
                 subgraphs to automate the discovery by setting a fixed
                 threshold. Empirical results on both the simulated
                 graphs and biological networks have demonstrated the
                 efficiency and effectiveness of our proposal.",

                 (Biomedical Information Extraction and Data Mining) to
                 integrate text mining and predictive modeling to
                 analyze biomolecular network from biomedical literature
                 databases. Our method consists of two phases. In phase
                 1, we discuss a semisupervised efficient learning
                 approach to automatically extract biological
                 relationships such as protein-protein interaction,
                 protein-gene interaction from the biomedical literature
                 databases to construct the biomolecular network. Our
                 method automatically learns the patterns based on a few
                 user seed tuples and then extracts new tuples from the
                 biomedical literature based on the discovered patterns.
                 The derived biomolecular network forms a large
                 scale-free network graph. In phase 2, we present a
                 novel clustering algorithm to analyze the biomolecular
                 network graph to identify biologically meaningful
                 subnetworks (communities). The clustering algorithm
                 considers the characteristics of the scale-free network
                 graphs and is based on the local density of the vertex
                 and its neighborhood functions that can be used to find
                 more meaningful clusters with different density level.
                 The experimental results indicate our approach is very

                 modeling the multidrug HIV therapies and an Adaptive
                 Multimeme Algorithm (AMmA) for designing the optimal
                 therapy. The period representation offers benefits in
                 terms of flexibility and reduction in dimensionality
                 compared to the binary representation. The AMmA is a
                 memetic algorithm which employs a list of three local
                 searchers adaptively activated by an evolutionary
                 framework. These local searchers, having different
                 features according to the exploration logic and the
                 pivot rule, have the role of exploring the decision
                 space from different and complementary perspectives
                 and, thus, assisting the standard evolutionary
                 operators in the optimization process. Furthermore, the
                 AMmA makes use of an adaptation which dynamically sets
                 the algorithmic parameters in order to prevent
                 stagnation and premature convergence. The numerical
                 results demonstrate that the application of the
                 proposed algorithm leads to very efficient medication
                 schedules which quickly stimulate a strong immune
                 response to HIV. The earlier termination of the
                 medication schedule leads to lesser unpleasant side
                 effects for the patient due to strong antiretroviral
                 therapy. A numerical comparison shows that the AMmA is
                 more efficient than three popular metaheuristics.
                 Finally, a statistical test based on the calculation of
                 the tolerance interval confirms the superiority of the
                 AMmA compared to the other methods for the problem
                 under study.",

  abstract =     "Because of high dimensionality, machine learning
                 algorithms typically rely on feature selection
                 techniques in order to perform effective classification
                 in microarray gene expression data sets. However, the
                 large number of features compared to the number of
                 samples makes the task of feature selection
                 computationally hard and prone to errors. This paper
                 interprets feature selection as a task of stochastic
                 optimization, where the goal is to select among an
                 exponential number of alternative gene subsets the one
                 expected to return the highest generalization in
                 classification. Blocking is an experimental design
                 strategy which produces similar experimental conditions
                 to compare alternative stochastic configurations in
                 order to be confident that observed differences in
                 accuracy are due to actual differences rather than to
                 fluctuations and noise effects. We propose an original
                 blocking strategy for improving feature selection which
                 aggregates in a paired way the validation outcomes of
                 several learning algorithms to assess a gene subset and
                 compare it to others. This is a novelty with respect to
                 conventional wrappers, which commonly adopt a sole
                 learning algorithm to evaluate the relevance of a given
                 set of variables. The rationale of the approach is
                 that, by increasing the amount of experimental
                 conditions under which we validate a feature subset, we
                 can lessen the problems related to the scarcity of
                 samples and consequently come up with a better
                 selection. The paper shows that the blocking strategy
                 significantly improves the performance of a
                 conventional forward selection for a set of 16 publicly
                 available cancer expression data sets. The experiments
                 involve six different classifiers and show that
                 improvements take place independent of the
                 classification algorithm used after the selection step.
                 Two further validations based on available biological
                 annotation support the claim that blocking strategies
                 in feature selection may improve the accuracy and the
                 quality of the solution. The first validation is based
                 on retrieving PubMEd abstracts associated to the
                 selected genes and matching them to regular expressions
                 describing the biological phenomenon underlying the
                 expression data sets. The biological validation that
                 follows is based on the use of the Bioconductor package
                 GoStats in order to perform Gene Ontology statistical
                 analysis.",

                 genome comparison is to detect common intervals in
                 permutations, that is, genes that are colocalized in
                 several species, indicating that they remained grouped
                 during evolution. A second largely studied problem
                 related to gene order is to compute a minimum scenario
                 of reversals that transforms a signed permutation into
                 another. Several studies began to mix the two problems
                 and it was observed that their results are not always
                 compatible: Often, parsimonious scenarios of reversals
                 break common intervals. If a scenario does not break
                 any common interval, it is called perfect. In two
                 recent studies, B{\'e}rard et al. defined a class of
                 permutations for which building a perfect scenario of
                 reversals sorting a permutation was achieved in
                 polynomial time and stated as an open question whether
                 it is possible to decide, given a permutation, if there
                 exists a minimum scenario of reversals that is perfect.
                 In this paper, we give a solution to this problem and
                 prove that this widens the class of permutations
                 addressed by the aforementioned studies. We implemented
                 and tested this algorithm on gene order data of
                 chromosomes from several mammal species and we compared
                 it to other methods. The algorithm helps to choose
                 among several possible scenarios of reversals and
                 indicates that the minimum scenario of reversals is not
                 always the most plausible.",

  abstract =     "Graphs are frequently used to describe the geometry
                 and also the physicochemical composition of protein
                 active sites. Here, the concept of graph alignment as a
                 novel method for the structural analysis of protein
                 binding pockets is presented. Using inexact
                 graph-matching techniques, one is able to identify both
                 conserved areas and regions of difference among
                 different binding pockets. Thus, using multiple graph
                 alignments, it is possible to characterize functional
                 protein families and to examine differences among
                 related protein families independent of sequence or
                 fold homology. Optimized algorithms are described for
                 the efficient calculation of multiple graph alignments
                 for the analysis of physicochemical descriptors
                 representing protein binding pockets. Additionally, it
                 is shown how the calculated graph alignments can be
                 analyzed to identify structural features that are
                 characteristic for a given protein family and also
                 features that are discriminative among related
                 families. The methods are applied to a substantial
                 high-quality subset of the PDB database and their
                 ability to successfully characterize and classify 10
                 highly populated functional protein families is shown.
                 Additionally, two related protein families from the
                 group of serine proteases are examined and important
                 structural differences are detected automatically and

                 frequently take the form of sets of nonlinear ordinary

                 key factor leading to successful protein structure
                 determination via NMR spectroscopy. Assuming the
                 availability of a set of NMR spectral peak lists, most
                 of the existing assignment algorithms first use the
                 differences between chemical shift values for common
                 nuclei across multiple spectra to provide the evidence
                 that some pairs of peaks should be assigned to
                 sequentially adjacent amino acid residues in the target
                 protein. They then use these connectivities as
                 constraints to produce a sequential assignment. At
                 various levels of success, these algorithms typically
                 generate a large number of potential connectivity
                 constraints, and it grows exponentially as the quality
                 of spectral data decreases. A key observation used in
                 our sequential assignment program, CISA, is that
                 chemical shift residual signature information can be
                 used to improve the connectivity determination, and
                 thus to dramatically decrease the number of predicted
                 connectivity constraints. Fewer connectivity
                 constraints lead to less ambiguities in the sequential
                 assignment. Extensive simulation studies on several
                 large test datasets demonstrated that CISA is efficient
                 and effective, compared to three most recently proposed

                 scientists use the BLAST homology search package as
                 their first step for discovery of information about
                 unknown or poorly annotated genomic sequences. There
                 are two main variants of BLAST: BLASTP for searching
                 protein collections and BLASTN for nucleotide
                 collections. Surprisingly, BLASTN has had very little
                 attention; for example, the algorithms it uses do not
                 follow those described in the 1997 BLAST paper [1] and
                 no exact description has been published. It is
                 important that BLASTN is state-of-the-art: Nucleotide
                 collections such as GenBank dwarf the protein
                 collections in size, they double in size almost yearly,
                 and they take many minutes to search on modern general
                 purpose workstations. This paper proposes significant
                 improvements to the BLASTN algorithms. Each of our
                 schemes is based on compressed bytepacked formats that
                 allow queries and collection sequences to be compared
                 four bases at a time, permitting very fast query
                 evaluation using lookup tables and numeric comparisons.
                 Our most significant innovations are two new, fast
                 gapped alignment schemes that allow accurate sequence
                 alignment without decompression of the collection
                 sequences. Overall, our innovations more than double
                 the speed of BLASTN with no effect on accuracy and have
                 been integrated into our new version of BLAST that is

                 microarray expression data is a critical data
                 preparation step in cancer classification and other
                 biological function analyses. Though many algorithms
                 have been developed, the Support Vector Machine -
                 Recursive Feature Elimination (SVM-RFE) algorithm is
                 one of the best gene feature selection algorithms. It
                 assumes that a smaller `filter-out' factor in the
                 SVM-RFE, which results in a smaller number of gene
                 features eliminated in each recursion, should lead to
                 extraction of a better gene subset. Because the SVM-RFE
                 is highly sensitive to the `filter-out' factor, our
                 simulations have shown that this assumption is not
                 always correct and that the SVM-RFE is an unstable
                 algorithm. To select a set of key gene features for
                 reliable prediction of cancer types or subtypes and
                 other applications, a new two-stage SVM-RFE algorithm
                 has been developed. It is designed to effectively
                 eliminate most of the irrelevant, redundant and noisy
                 genes while keeping information loss small at the first
                 stage. A fine selection for the final gene subset is
                 then performed at the second stage. The two-stage
                 SVM-RFE overcomes the instability problem of the
                 SVM-RFE to achieve better algorithm utility. We have
                 demonstrated that the two-stage SVM-RFE is
                 significantly more accurate and more reliable than the
                 SVM-RFE and three correlation-based methods based on
                 our analysis of three publicly available microarray
                 expression datasets. Furthermore, the two-stage SVM-RFE
                 is computationally efficient because its time
                 complexity is $ O(d * \log {_2d}) $, where $d$ is the
                 size of the original gene set.",

                 scale 3-D mapping of gene expression in a mammalian

                 The algorithms can be applied to any categorical data
                 matrices derived from gene expression level matrices.
                 We demonstrate that dense regions are simple but useful
                 and statistically significant patterns that can be used
                 to (1) identify genes and/or samples of interest and
                 (2) eliminate genes and/or samples corresponding to
                 outliers, noise, or abnormalities. Some theoretical
                 studies on the properties of the dense regions are
                 presented which allow us to characterize dense regions
                 into several classes and to derive tailor-made
                 algorithms for different classes of regions. Moreover,
                 an empirical simulation study on the distribution of

                 searching algorithms. Real microarray data sets are

                 Basecalling, the procedure that determines the sequence
                 of bases from the given eletropherogram, can then be

                 shape of a phylogenetic tree. They are commonly used to
                 compare reconstructed trees to evolutionary models and
                 to find evidence of tree reconstruction bias.
                 Historically, to find a useful tree shape statistic,
                 formulas have been invented by hand and then evaluated
                 for utility. This article presents the first method
                 which is capable of optimizing over a class of tree
                 shape statistics, called Binary Recursive Tree Shape
                 Statistics (BRTSS). After defining the BRTSS class, a
                 set of algebraic expressions is defined which can be
                 used in the recursions. The tree shape statistics
                 definable using these expressions in the BRTSS is very
                 general, and includes many of the statistics with which
                 phylogenetic researchers are already familiar. We then
                 present a practical genetic algorithm which is capable
                 of performing optimization over BRTSS given any
                 objective function. The chapter concludes with a
                 successful application of the methods to find a new
                 statistic which indicates a significant difference
                 between two distributions on trees which were
                 previously postulated to have similar properties.",

                 complexity of computing (dis)similarity measures
                 between two genomes when they contain duplicated genes
                 or genomic markers, a problem that happens frequently
                 when comparing whole nuclear genomes. Recently, several
                 methods ([1], [2]) have been proposed that are based on
                 two steps to compute a given (dis)similarity measure
                 $M$ between two genomes $ G_1 $ and $ G_2 $: first, one
                 establishes a one-to-one correspondence between genes
                 of $ G_1 $ and genes of $ G_2 $; second, once this
                 correspondence is established, it defines explicitly a
                 permutation and it is then possible to quantify their
                 similarity using classical measures defined for
                 permutations, like the number of breakpoints. Hence
                 these methods rely on two elements: a way to establish
                 a one-to-one correspondence between genes of a pair of
                 genomes, and a (dis)similarity measure for
                 permutations. The problem is then, given a
                 (dis)similarity measure for permutations, to compute a
                 correspondence that defines an optimal permutation for
                 this measure. We are interested here in two models to
                 compute a one-to-one correspondence: the exemplar
                 model, where all but one copy are deleted in both
                 genomes for each gene family, and the matching model,
                 that computes a maximal correspondence for each gene
                 family. We show that for these two models, and for
                 three (dis)similarity measures on permutations, namely
                 the number of common intervals, the maximum adjacency
                 disruption (MAD) number and the summed adjacency
                 disruption (SAD) number, the problem of computing an
                 optimal correspondence is NP-complete, and even APXhard

                 phylogenetic trees using binary character states
                 (referred to as BNPP). A perfect phylogeny assumes that
                 every character mutates at most once in the
                 evolutionary tree, yielding an algorithm for binary
                 character states that is computationally efficient but
                 not robust to imperfections in real data. A
                 near-perfect phylogeny relaxes the perfect phylogeny
                 assumption by allowing at most a constant number of
                 additional mutations. We develop two algorithms for
                 constructing optimal near-perfect phylogenies and
                 provide empirical evidence of their performance. The
                 first simple algorithm is fixed parameter tractable
                 when the number of additional mutations and the number

                 characterized by high dimensionality and small sample
                 size, which makes the classification task quite
                 challenging. In this paper, we present a data-dependent
                 kernel for microarray data classification. This kernel
                 function is engineered so that the class separability
                 of the training data is maximized. A
                 bootstrapping-based resampling scheme is introduced to

                 this adaptive kernel for microarray data classification

                 relevant biological associations between genes. One of
                 the most relevant features of this new method is the
                 prediction of adaptive regulation thresholds for the
                 discretization of gene expression values, which is
                 required prior to the rule association learning
                 process. Moreover, an important advantage consists of
                 its low computational cost to infer association rules.
                 The proposed system may significantly support
                 exploratory, large-scale studies of automated

                 molecular biology, biochemistry, bioengineering and
                 pharmaceutics. S-system model is suitable to
                 characterize biochemical network systems and capable to
                 analyze the regulatory system dynamics. However,
                 inference of an S-system model of N-gene genetic
                 networks has 2N(N+1) parameters in a set of non-linear
                 differential equations to be optimized. This paper
                 proposes an intelligent two-stage evolutionary
                 algorithm (iTEA) to efficiently infer the S-system
                 models of genetic networks from time-series data of

                 the proposed algorithm consists of two stages where
                 each uses a divide-and-conquer strategy. The
                 optimization problem is first decomposed into $N$
                 subproblems having 2(N+1) parameters each. At the first
                 stage, each subproblem is solved using a novel
                 intelligent genetic algorithm (IGA) with intelligent
                 crossover based on orthogonal experimental design
                 (OED). At the second stage, the obtained $N$ solutions
                 to the $N$ subproblems are combined and refined using
                 an OED-based simulated annealing algorithm for handling
                 noisy gene expression profiles. The effectiveness of
                 iTEA is evaluated using simulated expression patterns
                 with and without noise running on a single-processor
                 PC. It is shown that (1) IGA is efficient enough to
                 solve subproblems; (2) IGA is significantly superior to
                 the existing method SPXGA; and (3) iTEA performs well

                 easy for laboratory implementation and robust with
                 respect to the experimental errors. SPDP is NP-hard in

                 important for revealing fundamental cellular processes,
                 investigating gene functions, and understanding their
                 relations. The availability of time series gene
                 expression data makes it possible to investigate the
                 gene activities of whole genomes, rather than those of
                 only a pair of genes or among several genes. However,
                 current computational methods do not sufficiently
                 consider the temporal behavior of this type of data and
                 lack the capability to capture the complex nonlinear
                 system dynamics. We propose a recurrent neural network
                 (RNN) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) approach to
                 infer genetic regulatory networks from time series gene
                 expression data. Under this framework, gene interaction
                 is explained through a connection weight matrix. Based
                 on the fact that the measured time points are limited
                 and the assumption that the genetic networks are
                 usually sparsely connected, we present a PSO-based
                 search algorithm to unveil potential genetic network
                 constructions that fit well with the time series data
                 and explore possible gene interactions. Furthermore,
                 PSO is used to train the RNN and determine the network
                 parameters. Our approach has been applied to both
                 synthetic and real data sets. The results demonstrate
                 that the RNN\slash PSO can provide meaningful insights
                 in understanding the nonlinear dynamics of the gene

                 develop a hybrid sequence algorithm approach to type
                 this bacterium using only its spa gene. Two of the
                 sequence algorithms we used are well established, while
                 the third, the Best Common Gap-Weighted Sequence
                 (BCGS), is novel. We combined the sequence algorithms
                 with a weighted match/mismatch algorithm for the spa
                 sequence ends. Normalized similarity scores and
                 distances between the sequences were derived and used

                 typing which types seven genes instead of just one.
                 Furthermore, our spa clustering methods can be
                 fine-tuned to be more discriminative than MLST,
                 identifying new strains that the MLST method may not.

  abstract =     "In this article, we introduce an exploratory framework
                 for learning patterns of conditional co-expression in
                 gene expression data. The main idea behind the proposed
                 approach consists of estimating how the information
                 content shared by a set of $M$ nodes in a network
                 (where each node is associated to an expression
                 profile) varies upon conditioning on a set of L
                 conditioning variables (in the simplest case
                 represented by a separate set of expression profiles).
                 The method is non-parametric and it is based on the
                 concept of statistical co-information, which, unlike
                 conventional correlation based techniques, is not
                 restricted in scope to linear conditional dependency
                 patterns. Moreover, such conditional co-expression
                 relationships can potentially indicate regulatory
                 interactions that do not manifest themselves when only
                 pair-wise relationships are considered. A moment based
                 approximation of the co-information measure is derived
                 that efficiently gets around the problem of estimating
                 high-dimensional multi-variate probability density
                 functions from the data, a task usually not viable due
                 to the intrinsic sample size limitations that
                 characterize expression level measurements. By applying
                 the proposed exploratory method, we analyzed a whole
                 genome microarray assay of the eukaryote Saccharomices
                 cerevisiae and were able to learn statistically
                 significant patterns of conditional co-expression. A
                 selection of such interactions that carry a meaningful
                 biological interpretation are discussed.",

                 the performance of two thermodynamic models, INN and
                 INN-HB. The correlation between the free energy of
                 predicted structures and the sensitivity is analyzed
                 for 19 RNA sequences. Although some variance is shown,
                 there is a clear trend between a lower free energy and
                 an increase in true positive base pairs. With
                 increasing sequence length, this correlation generally
                 decreases. In the second experiment, the accuracy of
                 the predicted structures for these 19 sequences are

                 generated by the mfold dynamic programming algorithm

                 analysis techniques in Proteomics and Systems Biology.
                 With the creation of larger datasets, the automated
                 recalibration of mass spectra becomes important to
                 ensure that every peak in the sample spectrum is
                 correctly assigned to some peptide and protein.
                 Algorithms for recalibrating mass spectra have to be
                 robust with respect to wrongly assigned peaks, as well
                 as efficient due to the amount of mass spectrometry
                 data. The recalibration of mass spectra leads us to the
                 problem of finding an optimal matching between mass
                 spectra under measurement errors. We have developed two
                 deterministic methods that allow robust computation of

                 exploiting the sequential nature of the matching

                 xor-genotype of two haplotypes is the m-vector of their
                 coordinate-wise xor. We study the following problem:
                 Given a set of xor-genotypes, reconstruct their
                 haplotypes so that the set of resulting haplotypes can
                 be mapped onto a perfect phylogeny tree. The question
                 is motivated by studying population evolution in human
                 genetics, and is a variant of the perfect phylogeny
                 haplotyping problem that has received intensive
                 attention recently. Unlike the latter problem, in which
                 the input is `full' genotypes, here we assume less
                 informative input, and so may be more economical to
                 obtain experimentally. Building on ideas of Gusfield,
                 we show how to solve the problem in polynomial time, by
                 a reduction to the graph realization problem. The
                 actual haplotypes are not uniquely determined by that
                 tree they map onto, and the tree itself may or may not
                 be unique. We show that tree uniqueness implies
                 uniquely determined haplotypes, up to inherent degrees
                 of freedom, and give a sufficient condition for the
                 uniqueness. To actually determine the haplotypes given
                 the tree, additional information is necessary. We show
                 that two or three full genotypes suffice to reconstruct
                 all the haplotypes, and present a linear algorithm for
                 identifying those genotypes.",

                 sites is important to the understanding of gene
                 regulatory networks. Motifs are generally represented
                 by matrices (PWM or PSSM) or strings. However, these
                 representations cannot model biological binding sites
                 well because they fail to capture nucleotide
                 interdependence. It has been pointed out by many
                 researchers that the nucleotides of the DNA binding
                 site cannot be treated independently, e.g. the binding
                 sites of zinc finger in proteins. In this paper, a new
                 representation called Scored PositionSpecific Pattern
                 (SPSP), which is a generalization of the matrix and

  abstract =     "When analyzing the results of microarray experiments,
                 biologists generally use unsupervised categorization
                 tools. However, such tools regard each time point as an
                 independent dimension and utilize the Euclidean
                 distance to compute the similarities between
                 expressions. Furthermore, some of these methods require
                 the number of clusters to be determined in advance,
                 which is clearly impossible in the case of a new
                 dataset. Therefore, this study proposes a novel scheme,
                 designated as the Variation-based Co-expression
                 Detection (VCD) algorithm, to analyze the trends of
                 expressions based on their variation over time. The
                 proposed algorithm has two advantages. First, it is
                 unnecessary to determine the number of clusters in
                 advance since the algorithm automatically detects those
                 genes whose profiles are grouped together and creates
                 patterns for these groups. Second, the algorithm
                 features a new measurement criterion for calculating
                 the degree of change of the expressions between
                 adjacent time points and evaluating their trend
                 similarities. Three real-world microarray datasets are

  abstract =     "A genetic map is an ordering of genetic markers
                 calculated from a population of known lineage. While
                 traditionally a map has been generated from a single
                 population for each species, recently researchers have
                 created maps from multiple populations. In the face of
                 these new data, we address the need to find a consensus
                 map --- a map that combines the information from
                 multiple partial and possibly inconsistent input maps.
                 We model each input map as a partial order and
                 formulate the consensus problem as finding a median
                 partial order. Finding the median of multiple total
                 orders (preferences or rankings)is a well studied
                 problem in social choice. We choose to find the median
                 using the weighted symmetric difference distance, a
                 more general version of both the symmetric difference
                 distance and the Kemeny distance. Finding a median
                 order using this distance is NP-hard. We show that for
                 our chosen weight assignment, a median order satisfies
                 the positive responsiveness, extended Condorcet,and
                 unanimity criteria. Our solution involves finding the
                 maximum acyclic subgraph of a weighted directed graph.
                 We present a method that dynamically switches between
                 an exact branch and bound algorithm and a heuristic
                 algorithm, and show that for real data from closely
                 related organisms, an exact median can often be found.

                 many individuals. These samples are often snapshots of
                 the progression of a certain disease such as cancer.
                 This raises an intriguing question: Can we determine a
                 temporal order for these samples? Such an ordering can
                 lead to better understanding of the dynamics of the
                 disease and to the identification of genes associated
                 with its progression. In this paper we formally prove,
                 for the first time, that under a model for the dynamics
                 of the expression levels of a single gene, it is indeed
                 possible to recover the correct ordering of the static
                 expression datasets by solving an instance of the
                 traveling salesman problem (TSP). In addition, we
                 devise an algorithm that combines a TSP heuristic and
                 probabilistic modeling for inferring the underlying
                 temporal order of the microarray experiments. This
                 algorithm constructs probabilistic continuous curves to
                 represent expression profiles leading to accurate
                 temporal reconstruction for human data. Applying our
                 method to cancer expression data we show that the
                 ordering derived agrees well with survival duration. A
                 classifier that utilizes this ordering improves upon
                 other classifiers suggested for this task. The set of
                 genes displaying consistent behavior for the determined
                 ordering are enriched for genes associated with cancer

  abstract =     "Many statistical measures and algorithmic techniques
                 have been proposed for studying residue coupling in
                 protein families. Generally speaking, two residue
                 positions are considered coupled if, in the sequence
                 record, some of their amino acid type combinations are
                 significantly more common than others. While the
                 proposed approaches have proven useful in finding and
                 describing coupling, a significant missing component is
                 a formal probabilistic model that explicates and
                 compactly represents the coupling, integrates
                 information about sequence,structure, and function, and
                 supports inferential procedures for analysis,
                 diagnosis, and prediction. We present an approach to
                 learning and using probabilistic graphical models of
                 residue coupling. These models capture significant
                 conservation and coupling constraints observable in a
                 multiply-aligned set of sequences. Our approach can
                 place a structural prior on considered couplings, so
                 that all identified relationships have direct
                 mechanistic explanations. It can also incorporate
                 information about functional classes, and thereby learn
                 a differential graphical model that distinguishes
                 constraints common to all classes from those unique to
                 individual classes. Such differential models separately
                 account for class-specific conservation and family-wide
                 coupling, two different sources of sequence
                 covariation. They are then able to perform
                 interpretable functional classification of new
                 sequences, explaining classification decisions in terms

  abstract =     "An important topic in genomic sequence analysis is the
                 identification of protein coding regions. In this
                 context, several coding DNA model-independent methods,
                 based on the occurrence of specific patterns of
                 nucleotides at coding regions, have been proposed.
                 Nonetheless, these methods have not been completely
                 suitable due to their dependence on an empirically
                 pre-defined window length required for a local analysis
                 of a DNA region. We introduce a method, based on a
                 modified Gabor-wavelet transform (MGWT), for the
                 identification of protein coding regions. This novel
                 transform is tuned to analyze periodic signal
                 components and presents the advantage of being
                 independent of the window length. We compared the
                 performance of the MGWT with other methods using
                 eukaryote datasets. The results show that the MGWT
                 outperforms all assessed model-independent methods with
                 respect to identification accuracy. These results
                 indicate that the source of at least part of the
                 identification errors produced by the previous methods
                 is the fixed working scale. The new method not only
                 avoids this source of errors, but also makes available
                 a tool for detailed exploration of the nucleotide
                 occurrence.",

  abstract =     "The last several decades have witnessed a vast
                 accumulation of biological data and data analysis. Many
                 of these data sets represent only a small fraction of
                 the system's behavior, making the visualization of full
                 system behavior difficult. A more complete
                 understanding of a biological system is gained when
                 different types of data (and/or conclusions drawn from
                 the data) are integrated into a larger-scale
                 representation or model of the system. Ideally, this
                 type of model is consistent with all available data
                 about the system, and it is then used to generate
                 additional hypotheses to be tested. Computer-based
                 methods intended to formulate models that integrate
                 various events and to test the consistency of these
                 models with respect to the laboratory-based
                 observations on which they are based are potentially
                 very useful. In addition, in contrast to informal
                 models, the consistency of such formal computer-based
                 models with laboratory data can be tested rigorously by
                 methods of formal verification. We combined two formal
                 modeling approaches in computer science that were
                 originally developed for non-biological system design.
                 One is the inter-object approach using the language of
                 live sequence charts (LSCs) with the Play-Engine tool,
                 and the other is the intra-object approach using the
                 language of statecharts and Rhapsody as the tool.
                 Integration is carried out using InterPlay, a
                 simulation engine coordinator. Using these tools, we
                 constructed a combined model comprising three modules.
                 One module represents the early lineage of the somatic
                 gonad of \bioname{C. elegans} in LSCs, while a second more
                 detailed module in statecharts represents an
                 interaction between two cells within this lineage that
                 determine their developmental outcome. Using the
                 advantages of the tools, we created a third module
                 representing a set of key experimental data using LSCs.
                 We tested the combined statechart-LSC model by showing
                 that the simulations were consistent with the set of
                 experimental LSCs. This small-scale modular example
                 demonstrates the potential for using similar approaches
                 for verification by exhaustive testing of models by
                 LSCs. It also shows the advantages of these approaches
                 for modeling biology.",

                 diversity of a collection of species in terms of their
                 relationships on a phylogenetic tree, and to use this
                 information to identify collections of species with

                 in the genome at which two or more of the possible four
                 nucleotides occur in a large percentage of the
                 population. SNPsaccount for most of the genetic
                 variability between individuals,and mapping SNPs in the
                 human population has become the next high-priority in
                 genomics after the completion of the HumanGenome
                 project. In diploid organisms such as humans, there are
                 two non-identical copies of each autosomal chromosome.
                 A description of the SNPs in a chromosome is called a
                 haplotype. At present, it is prohibitively expensive to
                 directly determine the haplotypes of an individual, but
                 it is possible to obtain rather easily the conflated
                 SNP information in the so called genotype.
                 Computational methods for genotype phasing, i.e.,
                 inferring haplotypes from genotype data, have received
                 much attention in recent years as haplotype information
                 leads to increased statistical power of disease
                 association tests. However, many of the existing
                 algorithms have impractical running time for phasing
                 large genotype datasets such as those generated by the

                 a highly scalable algorithm based on entropy
                 minimization. Our algorithm is capable of phasing both
                 unrelated and related genotypes coming from complex
                 pedigrees. Experimental results on both real and
                 simulated datasets show that our algorithm achieves a
                 phasing accuracy worse but close to that of best
                 existing methods while being several orders of
                 magnitude faster. The open source code implementation

                 introduces the concept of conditional mutual

                 to assess the likeliness of direct connectivity between
                 genes. This novel metric resolves a common limitation
                 associated with the current inference algorithms,
                 namely the situations where the gene connectivity is
                 established in terms of the dichotomy of being either
                 connected or disconnected. Based on the data sets
                 generated by synthetic networks, the performance of the
                 proposed algorithms is compared favorably relative to
                 existing state-of-the-art schemes. The proposed
                 algorithms are also applied on realistic biological
                 measurements, such as the cutaneous melanoma data set,
                 and biological meaningful results are inferred.",

                 phase genotypes consisting only of two SNPs using
                 genotypes frequencies adjusted to the random mating
                 model and then extend phasing of two-SNP genotypes to
                 phasing of complete genotypes using maximum spanning
                 trees. Runtime of the proposed 2SNP algorithm is $ O(n
                 m (n + \log m)) $, where $n$ and $m$ are the numbers of

                 genotypes spanning entire chromosomes in a matter of
                 hours. On datasets across 23 chromosomal regions from

                 heuristic methods are available for many variants of
                 this problem, new advances in phylogeny inference will
                 be required if we are to be able to continue to make
                 effective use of the rapidly growing stores of
                 variation data now being gathered. In this paper, we
                 present two integer linear programming (ILP)
                 formulations to find the most parsimonious phylogenetic
                 tree from a set of binary variation data. One method
                 uses a flow-based formulation that can produce
                 exponential numbers of variables and constraints in the
                 worst case. The method has, however, proven extremely
                 efficient in practice on datasets that are well beyond
                 the reach of the available provably efficient methods,
                 solving several large mtDNA and Y-chromosome instances
                 within a few seconds and giving provably optimal
                 results in times competitive with fast heuristics than
                 cannot guarantee optimality. An alternative formulation
                 establishes that the problem can be solved with a
                 polynomial-sized ILP. We further present a web server
                 developed based on the exponential-sized ILP that
                 performs fast maximum parsimony inferences and serves

                 data structure for the representation of the common
                 intervals of all input gene orders is used in our exact
                 algorithm TCIP for solving the pRMP. It is known that
                 the minimum number of reversals to transform one gene
                 order into another can be computed in polynomial time,
                 whereas the corresponding problem with the restriction
                 that common intervals should not be destroyed is
                 already NP-hard. It is shown theoretically that TCIP
                 can solve a large class of pRMP instances in polynomial
                 time. Empirically we show the good performance of TCIP
                 on biological and artificial data.",

  abstract =     "In comparative genomics, algorithms that sort
                 permutations by reversals are often used to propose
                 evolutionary scenarios of rearrangements between
                 species. One of the main problems of such methods is
                 that they give one solution while the number of optimal
                 solutions is huge, with no criteria to discriminate
                 among them. Bergeron et al. started to give some
                 structure to the set of optimal solutions, in order to
                 be able to deliver more presentable results than only
                 one solution or a complete list of all solutions.
                 However, no algorithm exists so far to compute this
                 structure except through the enumeration of all
                 solutions, which takes too much time even for small
                 permutations. Bergeron et al. state as an open problem
                 the design of such an algorithm. We propose in this
                 paper an answer to this problem, that is, an algorithm
                 which gives all the classes of solutions and counts the
                 number of solutions in each class, with a better
                 theoretical and practical complexity than the complete
                 enumeration method. We give an example of how to reduce
                 the number of classes obtained, using further
                 constraints. Finally, we apply our algorithm to analyse
                 the possible scenarios of rearrangement between
                 mammalian sex chromosomes.",

  abstract =     "The prediction of the protein tertiary structure from
                 solely its residue sequence (the so called Protein
                 Folding Problem) is one of the most challenging
                 problems in Structural Bioinformatics. We focus on the
                 protein residue contact map. When this map is assigned
                 it is possible to reconstruct the 3D structure of the
                 protein backbone. The general problem of recovering a
                 set of 3D coordinates consistent with some given
                 contact map is known as a unit-disk-graph realization
                 problem and it has been recently proven to be NP-Hard.
                 In this paper we describe a heuristic method (COMAR)
                 that is able to reconstruct with an unprecedented rate
                 (3-15 seconds) a 3D model that exactly matches the
                 target contact map of a protein. Working with a
                 non-redundant set of 1760 proteins, we find that the
                 scoring efficiency of finding a 3D model very close to
                 the protein native structure depends on the threshold
                 value adopted to compute the protein residue contact
                 map. Contact maps whose threshold values range from 10
                 to 18 {\AA}ngstroms allow reconstructing 3D models that
                 are very similar to the proteins native structure.",

  abstract =     "The recent explosion in procurement and availability
                 of high-dimensional gene- and protein-expression
                 profile datasets for cancer diagnostics has
                 necessitated the development of sophisticated machine
                 learning tools with which to analyze them. A major
                 limitation in the ability to accurate classify these
                 high-dimensional datasets stems from the `curse of
                 dimensionality', occurring in situations where the
                 number of genes or peptides significantly exceeds the
                 total number of patient samples. Previous attempts at
                 dealing with this issue have mostly centered on the use
                 of a dimensionality reduction (DR) scheme, Principal
                 Component Analysis (PCA), to obtain a low-dimensional
                 projection of the high-dimensional data. However,
                 linear PCA and other linear DR methods, which rely on
                 Euclidean distances to estimate object similarity, do
                 not account for the inherent underlying nonlinear
                 structure associated with most biomedical data. The
                 motivation behind this work is to identify the
                 appropriate DR methods for analysis of high-dimensional
                 gene- and protein-expression studies. Towards this end,
                 we empirically and rigorously compare three nonlinear
                 (Isomap, Locally Linear Embedding, Laplacian Eigenmaps)
                 and three linear DR schemes (PCA, Linear Discriminant
                 Analysis, Multidimensional Scaling) with the intent of
                 determining a reduced subspace representation in which
                 the individual object classes are more easily
                 discriminable.",

                 identifying potential local patterns, characterized by
                 coherent groups of genes and conditions, may shed light
                 on the discovery of previously undetectable biological
                 cellular processes of genes as well as macroscopic
                 phenotypes of related samples. In order to
                 simultaneously cluster genes and conditions, we have
                 previously developed a fast co-clustering algorithm,
                 Minimum Sum-Squared Residue Co-clustering (MSSRCC),
                 which employs an alternating minimization scheme and
                 generates what we call co-clusters in a checkerboard
                 structure. In this paper, we propose specific
                 strategies that enable MSSRCC to escape poor local
                 minima and resolve the degeneracy problem in
                 partitional clustering algorithms. The strategies
                 include binormalization, deterministic spectral
                 initialization, and incremental local search. We assess
                 the effects of various strategies on both synthetic
                 gene expression datasets and real human cancer
                 microarrays and provide empirical evidence that MSSRCC
                 with the proposed strategies performs better than
                 existing co-clustering and clustering algorithms. In
                 particular, the combination of all the three strategies
                 leads to the best performance. Furthermore, we
                 illustrate coherence of the resulting co-clusters in a
                 checkerboard structure, where genes in a co-cluster
                 manifest the phenotype structure of corresponding
                 specific samples, and evaluate the enrichment of
                 functional annotations in Gene Ontology (GO).",

                 been extracted by regression analyses of gene
                 expression data and DNA-protein binding data. However,
                 a potential limitation of these approaches is their
                 assumption on the common and constant activity level of
                 a transcription factor (TF) on all the genes in any
                 given experimental condition; for example, any TF is
                 assumed to be either an activator or a repressor, but
                 not both, while it is known that some TFs can be dual
                 regulators. Rather than assuming a common linear
                 regression model for all the genes, we propose using
                 separate regression models for various gene groups; the
                 genes can be grouped based on their functions or some
                 clustering results. Furthermore, to take advantage of

                 a yeast dataset and simulations lend support for our
                 proposed methods. In particular, we find that the

                 functional annotations. An effective and reliable
                 subcellular localization method is necessary for
                 proteomics research. This paper introduces a new
                 method---PairProSVM---to automatically predict the
                 subcellular locations of proteins. The profiles of all
                 protein sequences in the training set are constructed
                 by PSI-BLAST and the pairwise profile-alignment scores
                 are used to form feature vectors for training a support
                 vector machine (SVM) classifier. It was found that
                 PairProSVM outperforms the methods that are based on
                 sequence alignment and amino-acid compositions even if
                 most of the homologous sequences have been removed.
                 This paper also demonstrates that the performance of
                 PairProSVM is sensitive (and somewhat proportional) to
                 the degree of its kernel matrix meeting the Mercer's
                 condition. PairProSVM was evaluated on Reinhardt and
                 Hubbard's, Huang and Li's, and Gardy et al.'s protein

  abstract =     "A principal goal of microarray studies is to identify
                 the genes showing differential expression under
                 distinct conditions. In such studies, the selection of
                 an optimal test statistic is a crucial challenge, which
                 depends on the type and amount of data under analysis.
                 While previous studies on simulated or spike-in
                 datasets do not provide practical guidance on how to
                 choose the best method for a given real dataset, we
                 introduce an enhanced reproducibility-optimization
                 procedure, which enables the selection of a suitable
                 gene- anking statistic directly from the data. In
                 comparison with existing ranking methods, the
                 reproducibility-optimized statistic shows good
                 performance consistently under various simulated
                 conditions and on Affymetrix spike-in dataset. Further,
                 the feasibility of the novel statistic is confirmed in
                 a practical research setting using data from an
                 in-house cDNA microarray study of asthma-related gene
                 expression changes. These results suggest that the
                 procedure facilitates the selection of an appropriate
                 test statistic for a given dataset without relying on a
                 priori assumptions, which may bias the findings and
                 their interpretation. Moreover, the general
                 reproducibility-optimization procedure is not limited
                 to detecting differential expression only but could be
                 extended to a wide range of other applications as
                 well.",

  abstract =     "The trans-genomic query (TGQ) problem -- enabling the
                 free query of biological information, even across
                 genomes -- is a central challenge facing
                 bioinformatics. Solutions to this problem can alter the
                 nature of the field, moving it beyond the jungle of
                 data integration and expanding the number and scope of
                 questions that can be answered. An alignment table is a
                 binary relationship on locations (sequence segments).
                 An important special case of alignment tables are hit
                 tables --- tables of pairs of highly similar segments
                 produced by alignment tools like BLAST. However,
                 alignment tables also include general binary
                 relationships, and can represent any useful connection
                 between sequence locations. They can be curated, and
                 provide a high-quality queryable backbone of
                 connections between biological information. Alignment
                 tables thus can be a natural foundation for TGQ, as
                 they permit a central part of the TGQ problem to be
                 reduced to purely technical problems involving tables
                 of locations. Key challenges in implementing alignment
                 tables include efficient representation and indexing of
                 sequence locations. We define a location datatype that
                 can be incorporated naturally into common off-the-shelf
                 database systems. We also describe an implementation of
                 alignment tables in BLASTGRES, an extension of the
                 open-source POSTGRESQL database system that provides
                 indexing and operators on locations required for
                 querying alignment tables. This paper also reviews
                 several successful large-scale applications of
                 alignment tables for Trans-Genomic Query. Tables with
                 millions of alignments have been used in queries about
                 alternative splicing, an area of genomic analysis
                 concerning the way in which a single gene can yield
                 multiple transcripts. Comparative genomics is a large
                 potential application area for TGQ and alignment

  abstract =     "The aim of genetic mapping is to locate the loci
                 responsible for specific traits such as complex
                 diseases. These traits are normally caused by mutations
                 at multiple loci of unknown locations and interactions.
                 In this work, we model the biological system that
                 relates DNA polymorphisms with complex traits as a
                 linear mixing process. Given this model, we propose a
                 new fine-scale genetic mapping method based on
                 independent component analysis. The proposed method
                 outputs both independent associated groups of SNPs in
                 addition to specific associated SNPs with the
                 phenotype. It is applied to a clinical data set for the

                 It is also applied to a simulation study to investigate

                 pattern of hydrogen-bonded strand pairing. Therefore,
                 predicting hydrogen bonded strand partners is a
                 fundamental step towards predicting $ \beta $-sheet
                 topology. At the same time, finding the correct
                 partners is very difficult due to long range
                 interactions involved in strand pairing. Additionally,
                 patterns of aminoacids involved, in $ \beta $-sheet
                 formations are very general and therefore difficult to
                 use for computational recognition of specific contacts
                 between strands. In this work, we report a new strand
                 pairing algorithm. To address above mentioned
                 difficulties, our algorithm attempts to mimic elements
                 of the folding process. Namely, in addition to ensuring
                 that the predicted hydrogen bonded strand pairs satisfy
                 basic global consistency constraints, it takes into
                 account hypothetical folding pathways. Consistently
                 with this view, introducing hydrogen bonds between a
                 pair of strands changes the probabilities of forming
                 hydrogen bonds between other pairs of strand. We
                 demonstrate that this approach provides an improvement
                 over previously proposed algorithms. We also compare
                 the performance of this method to that of a global
                 optimization algorithm that poses the problem as
                 integer linear programming optimization problem and
                 solves it using ILOG CPLEX\TM{} package.",

                 frequent form of DNA variation. The set of SNP's
                 present in a chromosome (called the em haplotype) is of
                 interest in a wide area of applications in molecular
                 biology and biomedicine, including diagnostic and

                 reconstruction for (portions of) a pair of homologous
                 human chromosomes from a single individual (SIH). The
                 problem is well known in literature and exact
                 algorithms have been proposed for the case when no (or

                 algorithms, though exact and of polynomial complexity,
                 are slow in practice. When gaps are considered no exact
                 method of polynomial complexity is known. The problem
                 is also hard to approximate with guarantees. Therefore
                 fast heuristics have been proposed. In this paper we
                 describe SpeedHap, a new heuristic method that is able
                 to tackle the case of many gapped fragments and retains
                 its effectiveness even when the input fragments have
                 high rate of reading errors (up to 20\%) and low
                 coverage (as low as 3). We test SpeedHap on real data
                 from the HapMap Project.",

                 square deviation (RMSD) to measure the structural
                 similarity, and methods for optimizing RMSD are well
                 established. We extend RMSD to weighted RMSD for

                 a consensus structure. Although we show that in

                 translations and rotations for minimizing weighted RMSD
                 cannot be separated for multiple structures like they

  abstract =     "Several applications in biology --- e.g.,
                 incorporation of protein flexibility in ligand docking
                 algorithms, interpretation of fuzzy X-ray
                 crystallographic data, and homology modeling ---
                 require computing the internal parameters of a flexible
                 fragment (usually, a loop) of a protein in order to
                 connect its termini to the rest of the protein without
                 causing any steric clash. One must often sample many
                 such conformations in order to explore and adequately
                 represent the conformational range of the studied loop.
                 While sampling must be fast, it is made difficult by
                 the fact that two conflicting constraints --- kinematic
                 closure and clash avoidance --- must be satisfied
                 concurrently. This paper describes two efficient and
                 complementary sampling algorithms to explore the space
                 of closed clash-free conformations of a flexible
                 protein loop. The `seed sampling' algorithm samples
                 broadly from this space, while the `deformation
                 sampling' algorithm uses seed conformations as starting
                 points to explore the conformation space around them at
                 a finer grain. Computational results are presented for
                 various loops ranging from 5 to 25 residues. More
                 specific results also show that the combination of the
                 sampling algorithms with a functional site prediction
                 software (FEATURE) makes it possible to compute and
                 recognize calcium-binding loop conformations. The
                 sampling algorithms are implemented in a toolkit

                 parameter values for the alignment scoring function is
                 critical. Small changes in gap penalties, for example,
                 can yield radically different alignments. A rigorous
                 way to compute parameter values that are appropriate
                 for aligning biological sequences is through inverse
                 parametric sequence alignment. Given a collection of
                 examples of biologically correct alignments, this is
                 the problem of finding parameter values that make the
                 scores of the example alignments close to those of
                 optimal alignments for their sequences. We extend prior
                 work on inverse parametric alignment to partial
                 examples, which contain regions where the alignment is
                 left unspecified, and to an improved formulation based
                 on minimizing the average error between the score of an
                 example and the score of an optimal alignment.
                 Experiments on benchmark biological alignments show we
                 can find parameters that generalize across protein

                 probes is a prerequisite for the analysis of many of
                 its basic properties, such as transcription factor
                 binding sites, chromosomal breakpoints, gene expression
                 of known genes and detection of novel genes, in
                 particular those coding for small RNAs. An ideal
                 representation would consist of a high density set of
                 oligonucleotides with similar melting temperatures that
                 do not cross-hybridize with other regions of the genome
                 and are equidistantly spaced. The implementation of
                 such design is typically called a tiling array or

                 (3D-EM) maps of large bio-molecular complexes at
                 intermediate resolution (5A-15A). The two problems
                 addressed are: (a) 3D structural alignment
                 (matching)between identified and segmented 3D maps of
                 structure units(e.g. trimeric configuration of
                 proteins), and (b) the secondary structure
                 identification of a segmented protein 3D map (i.e.,
                 locations of $ \alpha $-helices, $ \beta $-sheets). For

  abstract =     "Many different methods exist for pattern detection in
                 gene expression data. In contrast to classical methods,
                 biclustering has the ability to cluster a group of
                 genes together with a group of conditions (replicates,
                 set of patients or drug compounds). However, since the
                 problem is NP-complex, most algorithms use heuristic
                 search functions and therefore might converge towards
                 local maxima. By using the results of biclustering on
                 discrete data as a starting point for a local search
                 function on continuous data, our algorithm avoids the
                 problem of heuristic initialization. Similar to OPSM,
                 our algorithm aims to detect biclusters whose rows and
                 columns can be ordered such that row values are growing
                 across the bicluster's columns and vice-versa. Results
                 have been generated on the yeast genome (Saccharomyces
                 cerevisiae), a human cancer dataset and random data.
                 Results on the yeast genome showed that 89\% of the one
                 hundred biggest non-overlapping biclusters were
                 enriched with Gene Ontology annotations. A comparison
                 with OPSM and ISA demonstrated a better efficiency when
                 using gene and condition orders. We present results on
                 random and real datasets that show the ability of our
                 algorithm to capture statistically significant and
                 biologically relevant biclusters.",

  abstract =     "There has been a renewed interest for metabolism in
                 the computational biology community, leading to an
                 avalanche of papers coming from methodological network
                 analysis as well as experimental and theoretical
                 biology. This paper is meant to serve as an initial
                 guide for both the biologists interested in formal
                 approaches and the mathematicians or computer
                 scientists wishing to inject more realism into their
                 models. The paper is focused on the structural aspects
                 of metabolism only. The literature is vast enough
                 already, and the thread through it difficult to follow
                 even for the more experienced worker in the field. We
                 explain methods for acquiring data and reconstructing
                 metabolic networks, and review the various models that
                 have been used for their structural analysis. Several
                 concepts such as modularity are introduced, as are the
                 controversies that have beset the field these past few
                 years, for instance, on whether metabolic networks are
                 small-world or scale-free, and on which model better
                 explains the evolution of metabolism. Clarifying the
                 work that has been done also helps in identifying open
                 questions and in proposing relevant future directions
                 in the field, which we do along the paper and in the
                 conclusion.",

                 haplotypes or genotypes with missing entries. The
                 earlier approaches for both of these problems dealt
                 with restricted versions of the problems, where the
                 root is either available or can be trivially
                 re-constructed from the data, or certain assumptions
                 were made about the data. In this paper, we deal with
                 the unrestricted versions of the problems, where the
                 root of the phylogeny is neither available nor
                 trivially recoverable from the data. Both IPP and IPPH
                 problems have previously been proven to be NP complete.
                 Here, we present efficient enumerative algorithms that

  abstract =     "The cDNA microarray is an important tool for
                 generating large datasets of gene expression
                 measurements. An efficient design is critical to ensure
                 that the experiment will be able to address relevant
                 biological questions. Microarray experimental design
                 can be treated as a multicriterion optimization
                 problem. For this class of problems evolutionary
                 algorithms (EAs) are well suited, as they can search
                 the solution space and evolve a design that optimizes
                 the parameters of interest based on their relative
                 value to the researcher under a given set of
                 constraints. This paper introduces the use of EAs for
                 optimization of experimental designs of spotted
                 microarrays using a weighted objective function. The EA
                 and the various criteria relevant to design
                 optimization are discussed. Evolved designs are
                 compared with designs obtained through exhaustive
                 search with results suggesting that the EA can find
                 just as efficient optimal or near-optimal designs
                 within a tractable timeframe.",

  abstract =     "Pairwise local sequence alignment methods have been
                 the prevailing technique to identify homologous
                 nucleotides between related species. However, existing
                 methods that identify and align all homologous
                 nucleotides in one or more genomes have suffered from
                 poor scalability and limited accuracy. We propose a
                 novel method that couples a gapped extension heuristic
                 with an efficient filtration method for identifying
                 interspersed repeats in genome sequences. During gapped
                 extension, we use the MUSCLE implementation of
                 progressive global multiple alignment with iterative
                 refinement. The resulting gapped extensions potentially
                 contain alignments of unrelated sequence. We detect and
                 remove such undesirable alignments using a hidden
                 Markov model (HMM) to predict the posterior probability
                 of homology. The HMM emission frequencies for
                 nucleotide substitutions can be derived from any
                 time-reversible nucleotide substitution matrix. We
                 evaluate the performance of our method and previous
                 approaches on a hybrid data set of real genomic DNA
                 with simulated interspersed repeats. Our method
                 outperforms a related method in terms of sensitivity,
                 positive predictive value, and localizing boundaries of
                 homology. The described methods have been implemented

                 applications in gene function analysis and promising
                 potentials in human disease therapy. To effectively
                 silence a target gene, it is desirable to select
                 appropriate initiator siRNA molecules having
                 satisfactory silencing capabilities. Computational
                 prediction for silencing efficacy of siRNAs can assist
                 this screening process before using them in biological
                 experiments. String kernel functions, which operate
                 directly on the string objects representing siRNAs and
                 target mRNAs, have been applied to support vector
                 regression for the prediction and improved accuracy
                 over numerical kernels in multidimensional vector
                 spaces constructed from descriptors of siRNA design
                 rules. To fully utilize information provided by string
                 and numerical data, we propose to unify the two in a
                 kernel feature space by devising a multiple kernel
                 regression framework where a linear combination of the
                 kernels is used. We formulate the multiple kernel
                 learning into a quadratically constrained quadratic
                 programming (QCQP) problem, which although yields
                 global optimal solution, is computationally demanding
                 and requires a commercial solver package. We further
                 propose three heuristics based on the principle of
                 kernel-target alignment and predictive accuracy.
                 Empirical results demonstrate that multiple kernel
                 regression can improve accuracy, decrease model
                 complexity by reducing the number of support vectors,
                 and speed up computational performance dramatically. In
                 addition, multiple kernel regression evaluates the
                 importance of constituent kernels, which for the siRNA
                 efficacy prediction problem, compares the relative
                 significance of the design rules. Finally, we give
                 insights into the multiple kernel regression mechanism
                 and point out possible extensions.",

  abstract =     "Cancer cells exhibit a common phenotype of
                 uncontrolled cell growth, but this phenotype may arise
                 from many different combinations of mutations. By
                 inferring how cells evolve in individual tumors, a
                 process called cancer progression, we may be able to
                 identify important mutational events for different
                 tumor types, potentially leading to new therapeutics
                 and diagnostics. Prior work has shown that it is
                 possible to infer frequent progression pathways by
                 using gene expression profiles to estimate
                 ``distances'' between tumors. Here, we apply gene
                 network models to improve these estimates of
                 evolutionary distance by controlling for correlations
                 among coregulated genes. We test three variants of this
                 approach: one using an optimized best-fit network,
                 another using sampling to infer a high-confidence
                 subnetwork, and one using a modular network inferred
                 from clusters of similarly expressed genes. Application
                 to lung cancer and breast cancer microarray data sets
                 shows small improvements in phylogenies when correcting
                 from the optimized network and more substantial
                 improvements when correcting from the sampled or
                 modular networks. Our results suggest that a network
                 correction approach improves estimates of tumor
                 similarity, but sophisticated network models are needed
                 to control for the large hypothesis space and sparse
                 data currently available.",

                 supertree from a collection of gene trees that are
                 confounded by complex histories of gene-duplication
                 events. This problem is NP-complete and thus requires
                 efficient and effective heuristics. Existing heuristics
                 perform a stepwise search of the tree space, where each
                 step is guided by an exact solution to an instance of a
                 local search problem. A classical local search problem
                 is the {\tt NNI} search problem, which is based on the

  abstract =     "Profile HMMs are powerful tools for modeling conserved
                 motifs in proteins. They are widely used by search
                 tools to classify new protein sequences into families
                 based on domain architecture. However, the
                 proliferation of known motifs and new proteomic
                 sequence data poses a computational challenge for
                 search, requiring days of CPU time to annotate an
                 organism's proteome. It is highly desirable to speed up
                 HMM search in large databases. We design PROSITE-like
                 patterns and short profiles that are used as filters to
                 rapidly eliminate protein-motif pairs for which a full
                 profile HMM comparison does not yield a significant
                 match. The design of the pattern-based filters is
                 formulated as a multichoice knapsack problem.
                 Profile-based filters with high sensitivity are
                 extracted from a profile HMM based on their theoretical
                 sensitivity and false positive rate. Experiments show
                 that our profile-based filters achieve high sensitivity
                 (near 100 percent) while keeping around $ 20 \times $
                 speedup with respect to the unfiltered search program.
                 Pattern-based filters typically retain at least 90
                 percent of the sensitivity of the source HMM with $ 30
                 $--$ 40 \times $ speedup. The profile-based filters
                 have sensitivity comparable to the multistage filtering
                 strategy HMMERHEAD [15] and are faster in most of our

                 Clustering (FASIC) of microarray data for finding
                 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from two-sample
                 microarray experiments. The concept of fuzzy membership
                 is introduced to transform the hard adaptive subspace
                 iteration (ASI) algorithm into a fuzzy-ASI algorithm to
                 perform two-way clustering. The proposed approach
                 follows a progressive framework to assign a relevance
                 value to genes associated with each cluster.
                 Subsequently, each gene cluster is scored and ranked
                 based on its potential to provide a correct
                 classification of the sample classes. These ranks are

                 characteristics is a useful exploratory technique for a
                 number of subsequent computational analysis. A wide
                 range of clustering algorithms have been proposed in
                 particular to analyze gene expression data, but most of
                 them consider genes as independent entities or include
                 relevant information on gene interactions in a
                 suboptimal way. We propose a probabilistic model that
                 has the advantage to account for individual data (e.g.,
                 expression) and pairwise data (e.g., interaction
                 information coming from biological networks)
                 simultaneously. Our model is based on hidden Markov
                 random field models in which parametric probability
                 distributions account for the distribution of
                 individual data. Data on pairs, possibly reflecting
                 distance or similarity measures between genes, are then
                 included through a graph, where the nodes represent the
                 genes, and the edges are weighted according to the
                 available interaction information. As a probabilistic
                 model, this model has many interesting theoretical
                 features. In addition, preliminary experiments on
                 simulated and real data show promising results and
                 points out the gain in using such an approach.

                 obtain alignments and estimate mutation rates between
                 two homologous sequences. The model allows two possible
                 evolutionary behaviors along a DNA sequence in order to
                 determine conserved regions and take its heterogeneity
                 into account. In our model, the sequence is divided
                 into slow and fast evolution regions. The boundaries
                 between these sections are not known. It is our aim to
                 detect them. The evolution model is based on a fragment
                 insertion and deletion process working on fast regions
                 only and on a substitution process working on fast and
                 slow regions with different rates. This model induces a
                 pair hidden Markov structure at the level of
                 alignments, thus making efficient statistical alignment
                 algorithms possible. We propose two complementary
                 estimation methods, namely, a Gibbs sampler for
                 Bayesian estimation and a stochastic version of the EM
                 algorithm for maximum likelihood estimation. Both
                 algorithms involve the sampling of alignments. We
                 propose a partial alignment sampler, which is
                 computationally less expensive than the typical whole
                 alignment sampler. We show the convergence of the two
                 estimation algorithms when used with this partial
                 sampler. Our algorithms provide consistent estimates
                 for the mutation rates and plausible alignments and

                 expression provide positional information within the
                 embryo. To better understand the underlying gene
                 regulatory networks, the Berkeley Drosophila
                 Transcription Network Project (BDTNP) has developed
                 methods that support quantitative computational
                 analysis of three-dimensional (3D) gene expression in
                 early Drosophila embryos at cellular resolution. We
                 introduce PointCloudXplore (PCX), an interactive
                 visualization tool that supports visual exploration of
                 relationships between different genes' expression using
                 a combination of established visualization techniques.
                 Two aspects of gene expression are of particular
                 interest: (1) gene expression patterns defined by the
                 spatial locations of cells expressing a gene and (2)
                 relationships between the expression levels of multiple
                 genes. PCX provides users with two corresponding
                 classes of data views: (1) Physical Views based on the
                 spatial relationships of cells in the embryo and (2)
                 Abstract Views that discard spatial information and
                 plot expression levels of multiple genes with respect
                 to each other. Cell Selectors highlight data associated
                 with subsets of embryo cells within a View. Using
                 linking, these selected cells can be viewed in multiple
                 representations. We describe PCX as a 3D gene
                 expression visualization tool and provide examples of

                 by the intractability of cancer to generic therapies,
                 assumed to be due to the highly varied molecular
                 etiologies observed in cancer, and by the opportunity
                 to discern and dissect the regulatory and control
                 interactions presented by the highly diverse assortment
                 of perturbations of regulation and control that arise

                 tasks in bioinformatics and typically arises in cancer
                 diagnosis studies by gene expression profiling. There
                 have been many studies of aggregating binary
                 classifiers to construct a multiclass classifier based
                 on one-versus-the-rest (1R), one-versus-one (11), or
                 other coding strategies, as well as some comparison
                 studies between them. However, the studies found that
                 the best coding depends on each situation. Therefore, a
                 new problem, which we call the ``optimal coding
                 problem,'' has arisen: how can we determine which
                 coding is the optimal one in each situation? To
                 approach this optimal coding problem, we propose a
                 novel framework for constructing a multiclass
                 classifier, in which each binary classifier to be
                 aggregated has a weight value to be optimally tuned
                 based on the observed data. Although there is no a
                 priori answer to the optimal coding problem, our weight
                 tuning method can be a consistent answer to the
                 problem. We apply this method to various classification
                 problems including a synthesized data set and some
                 cancer diagnosis data sets from gene expression
                 profiling. The results demonstrate that, in most
                 situations, our method can improve classification
                 accuracy over simple voting heuristics and is better
                 than or comparable to state-of-the-art multiclass
                 predictors.",

  abstract =     "Large sets of bioinformatical data provide a challenge
                 in time consumption while solving the cluster
                 identification problem, and that is why a parallel
                 algorithm is so needed for identifying dense clusters
                 in a noisy background. Our algorithm works on a graph
                 representation of the data set to be analyzed. It
                 identifies clusters through the identification of
                 densely intraconnected subgraphs. We have employed a
                 minimum spanning tree (MST) representation of the graph
                 and solve the cluster identification problem using this
                 representation. The computational bottleneck of our
                 algorithm is the construction of an MST of a graph, for
                 which a parallel algorithm is employed. Our high-level
                 strategy for the parallel MST construction algorithm is
                 to first partition the graph, then construct MSTs for
                 the partitioned subgraphs and auxiliary bipartite
                 graphs based on the subgraphs, and finally merge these
                 MSTs to derive an MST of the original graph. The
                 computational results indicate that when running on 150
                 CPUs, our algorithm can solve a cluster identification
                 problem on a data set with 1,000,000 data points almost
                 100 times faster than on single CPU, indicating that
                 this program is capable of handling very large data
                 clustering problems in an efficient manner. We have

  abstract =     "In order to get a better understanding of different
                 types of cancers and to find the possible biomarkers
                 for diseases, recently, many researchers are analyzing
                 the gene expression data using various machine learning
                 techniques. However, due to a very small number of
                 training samples compared to the huge number of genes
                 and class imbalance, most of these methods suffer from
                 overfitting. In this paper, we present a majority
                 voting genetic programming classifier (MVGPC) for the
                 classification of microarray data. Instead of a single
                 rule or a single set of rules, we evolve multiple rules
                 with genetic programming (GP) and then apply those
                 rules to test samples to determine their labels with
                 majority voting technique. By performing experiments on
                 four different public cancer data sets, including
                 multiclass data sets, we have found that the test
                 accuracies of MVGPC are better than those of other
                 methods, including AdaBoost with GP. Moreover, some of
                 the more frequently occurring genes in the
                 classification rules are known to be associated with
                 the types of cancers being studied in this paper.",

                 deciphering the genetic regulatory codes (i.e., motifs)
                 in genomes as well as in locating conserved domains in
                 protein sequences. The Expectation Maximization (EM)
                 algorithm is one of the most popular methods used in de
                 novo motif discovery. Based on the position weight
                 matrix (PWM) updating technique, this paper presents a
                 Monte Carlo version of the EM motif-finding algorithm
                 that carries out stochastic sampling in local alignment
                 space to overcome the conventional EM's main drawback
                 of being trapped in a local optimum. The newly
                 implemented algorithm is named as Monte Carlo EM Motif
                 Discovery Algorithm (MCEMDA). MCEMDA starts from an
                 initial model, and then it iteratively performs Monte
                 Carlo simulation and parameter update until
                 convergence. A log-likelihood profiling technique
                 together with the top-$k$ strategy is introduced to
                 cope with the phase shifts and multiple modal issues in
                 motif discovery problem. A novel grouping motif
                 alignment (GMA) algorithm is designed to select motifs
                 by clustering a population of candidate local
                 alignments and successfully applied to subtle motif
                 discovery. MCEMDA compares favorably to other popular
                 PWM-based and word enumerative motif algorithms tested
                 using simulated $ (l, d) $-motif cases, documented
                 prokaryotic, and eukaryotic DNA motif sequences.
                 Finally, MCEMDA is applied to detect large blocks of
                 conserved domains using protein benchmarks and exhibits
                 its excellent capacity while compared with other
                 multiple sequence alignment methods.",

                 information. In comparative genomics, differences or
                 similarities of gene orders are determined to predict
                 functional relations of genes or phylogenetic relations
                 of genomes. For this purpose, various combinatorial
                 models can be used to identify gene clusters --- groups
                 of genes that are colocated in a set of genomes. We
                 introduce a unified approach to model gene clusters and
                 define the problem of labeling the inner nodes of a

                 properties: parsimony, i.e., the number of gains and
                 losses of gene clusters has to be minimal, and
                 consistency, i.e., for each ancestral node, there must
                 exist at least one potential gene order that contains
                 all the reconstructed clusters. We present and evaluate

                 only suffice to produce a partial order. Many

                 are already totally ordered. It was previously shown to

                 sources useful for protein complex prediction have
                 become available (e.g., gene sequence, mRNA expression,
                 and interactions). The integration of these different
                 data sources can be challenging. Recently, it has been
                 recognized that kernel-based classifiers are well
                 suited for this task. However, the different kernels
                 (data sources) are often combined using equal weights.
                 Although several methods have been developed to
                 optimize kernel weights, no large-scale example of an
                 improvement in classifier performance has been shown
                 yet. In this work, we employ an evolutionary algorithm
                 to determine weights for a larger set of kernels by
                 optimizing a criterion based on the area under the ROC
                 curve. We show that setting the right kernel weights
                 can indeed improve performance. We compare this to the
                 existing kernel weight optimization methods (i.e.,
                 (regularized) optimization of the SVM criterion or
                 aligning the kernel with an ideal kernel) and find that
                 these do not result in a significant performance

  abstract =     "Some genetic diseases in human beings are dominated by
                 short sequences repeated consecutively called tandem
                 repeats. Once a region containing tandem repeats is
                 found, it is of great interest to study the history of
                 creating the repeats. The computational problem of
                 reconstructing the duplication history of tandem
                 repeats has been studied extensively in the literature.
                 Almost all previous studies focused on the simplest
                 case where the size of each duplication block is 1.
                 Only recently we succeeded in giving the first
                 polynomial-time approximation algorithm with a
                 guaranteed ratio for a more general case where the size
                 of each duplication block is at most $2$; the algorithm
                 achieves a ratio of $6$ and runs in $ O(n^{11}) $ time.
                 In this paper, we present two new polynomial-time
                 approximation algorithms for this more general case.
                 One of them achieves a ratio of $5$ and runs in $
                 O(n^9) $ time, while the other achieves a ratio of $

  abstract =     "Two very important characteristics of biological
                 reaction networks need to be considered carefully when
                 modeling these systems. First, models must account for
                 the inherent probabilistic nature of systems far from
                 the thermodynamic limit. Often, biological systems
                 cannot be modeled with traditional
                 continuous-deterministic models. Second, models must
                 take into consideration the disparate spectrum of time
                 scales observed in biological phenomena, such as slow
                 transcription events and fast dimerization reactions.
                 In the last decade, significant efforts have been
                 expended on the development of stochastic chemical
                 kinetics models to capture the dynamics of biomolecular
                 systems, and on the development of robust multiscale
                 algorithms, able to handle stiffness. In this paper,
                 the focus is on the dynamics of reaction sets governed
                 by stiff chemical Langevin equations, i.e., stiff
                 stochastic differential equations. These are
                 particularly challenging systems to model, requiring
                 prohibitively small integration step sizes. We describe
                 and illustrate the application of a semianalytical
                 reduction framework for chemical Langevin equations
                 that results in significant gains in computational
                 cost.",

  abstract =     "Phylogenies --- the evolutionary histories of groups
                 of organisms --- play a major role in representing the
                 interrelationships among biological entities. Many
                 methods for reconstructing and studying such
                 phylogenies have been proposed, almost all of which
                 assume that the underlying history of a given set of
                 species can be represented by a binary tree. Although
                 many biological processes can be effectively modeled
                 and summarized in this fashion, others cannot:
                 recombination, hybrid speciation, and horizontal gene
                 transfer result in networks of relationships rather
                 than trees of relationships. In previous works, we
                 formulated a maximum parsimony (MP) criterion for
                 reconstructing and evaluating phylogenetic networks,
                 and demonstrated its quality on biological as well as
                 synthetic data sets. In this paper, we provide further
                 theoretical results as well as a very fast heuristic
                 algorithm for the MP criterion of phylogenetic
                 networks. In particular, we provide a novel
                 combinatorial definition of phylogenetic networks in
                 terms of ``forbidden cycles,'' and provide detailed
                 hardness and hardness of approximation proofs for the
                 ``small'' MP problem. We demonstrate the performance of
                 our heuristic in terms of time and accuracy on both
                 biological and synthetic data sets. Finally, we explain
                 the difference between our model and a similar one
                 formulated by Nguyen et al., and describe the

  abstract =     "This paper develops an approach for designing protein
                 variants by sampling sequences that satisfy residue
                 constraints encoded in an undirected probabilistic
                 graphical model. Due to evolutionary pressures on
                 proteins to maintain structure and function, the
                 sequence record of a protein family contains valuable
                 information regarding position-specific residue
                 conservation and coupling (or covariation) constraints.
                 Representing these constraints with a graphical model
                 provides two key benefits for protein design: a
                 probabilistic semantics enabling evaluation of possible
                 sequences for consistency with the constraints, and an
                 explicit factorization of residue dependence and
                 independence supporting efficient exploration of the
                 constrained sequence space. We leverage these benefits
                 in developing two complementary MCMC algorithms for
                 protein design: constrained shuffling mixes wild-type
                 sequences positionwise and evaluates graphical model
                 likelihood, while component sampling directly generates
                 sequences by sampling clique values and propagating to
                 other cliques. We apply our methods to design WW
                 domains. We demonstrate that likelihood under a model
                 of wild-type WWs is highly predictive of foldedness of
                 new WWs. We then show both theoretical and rapid
                 empirical convergence of our algorithms in generating
                 high-likelihood, diverse new sequences. We further show
                 that these sequences capture the original sequence
                 constraints, yielding a model as predictive of
                 foldedness as the original one.",

                 family members in genomic sequence databases is
                 explored. The partial models are formed from contiguous
                 subranges of the overall RNA family multiple alignment
                 columns. A binary decision-tree framework is presented
                 for choosing the order to apply the partial models and
                 the score thresholds on which to make the decisions.
                 The decision trees are chosen to minimize computation

                 are suggested to select the decision tree since the

                 method to build the tree in these cases. Experimental

                 provides a high-resolution and high-throughput
                 technique for screening of copy number variations
                 (CNVs) within the entire genome. This technique,
                 compared to the conventional CGH, significantly
                 improves the identification of chromosomal
                 abnormalities. However, due to the random noise
                 inherited in the imaging and hybridization process,
                 identifying statistically significant DNA copy number
                 changes in aCGH data is challenging. We propose a novel
                 approach that uses the mean and variance change point
                 model (MVCM) to detect CNVs or breakpoints in aCGH data
                 sets. We derive an approximate p-value for the test
                 statistic and also give the estimate of the locus of
                 the DNA copy number change. We carry out simulation
                 studies to evaluate the accuracy of the estimate and
                 the p-value formulation. These simulation results show
                 that the approach is effective in identifying copy
                 number changes. The approach is also tested on
                 fibroblast cancer cell line data, breast tumor cell
                 line data, and breast cancer cell line aCGH data sets
                 that are publicly available. Changes that have not been
                 identified by the circular binary segmentation (CBS)
                 method but are biologically verified are detected by
                 our approach on these cell lines with higher

                 results between biological sequences becomes inevitable
                 when researchers realize errors in their sequenced data
                 or when the researchers have to compare nearly similar
                 sequences, e.g., in a family of proteins. We present an
                 efficient scheme for updating local sequence alignments
                 with an affine gap model. In principle, using the
                 previous matching result between two amino acid
                 sequences, we perform a forward-backward alignment to
                 generate heuristic searching bands which are bounded by
                 a set of suboptimal paths. Given a correctly updated
                 sequence, we initially predict a new score of the
                 alignment path for each contour to select the best
                 candidates among them. Then, we run the Smith-Waterman
                 algorithm in this confined space. Furthermore, our
                 heuristic alignment for an updated sequence shows that
                 it can be further accelerated by using reusable dynamic
                 programming (rDP), our prior work. In this study, we
                 successfully validate ``relative node tolerance bound''
                 (RNTB) in the pruned searching space. Furthermore, we
                 improve the computational performance by quantifying
                 the successful RNTB tolerance probability and switch to
                 rDP on perturbation-resilient columns only. In our
                 searching space derived by a threshold value of 90
                 percent of the optimal alignment score, we find that
                 98.3 percent of contours contain correctly updated
                 paths. We also find that our method consumes only 25.36
                 percent of the runtime cost of sparse dynamic
                 programming (sDP) method, and to only 2.55 percent of

                 function and protein structure, it is essential to
                 assess the protein similarity from different aspects.
                 Although many methods have been proposed for protein
                 structure alignment or comparison, alternative
                 similarity measures are still strongly demanded due to
                 the requirement of fast screening and query in
                 large-scale structure databases. In this paper, we
                 first formulate a novel representation of a protein
                 structure, i.e., Feature Sequence of Surface (FSS).
                 Then, a new score scheme is developed to measure the
                 similarity between two representations. To verify the
                 proposed method, numerical experiments are conducted in
                 four different protein data sets. We also classify SARS
                 coronavirus to verify the effectiveness of the new

                 investigating the association structure among genes in
                 a microarray data set. There is a rich literature on
                 cluster analysis and various techniques have been
                 developed. Such analyses heavily depend on an
                 appropriate (dis)similarity measure. In this paper, we
                 introduce a general clustering approach based on the
                 confidence interval inferential methodology, which is
                 applied to gene expression data of microarray
                 experiments. Emphasis is placed on data with low
                 replication (three or five replicates). The proposed
                 method makes more efficient use of the measured data
                 and avoids the subjective choice of a dissimilarity
                 measure. This new methodology, when applied to real
                 data, provides an easy-to-use bioinformatics solution
                 for the cluster analysis of microarray experiments with
                 replicates (see the Appendix). Even though the method
                 is presented under the framework of microarray
                 experiments, it is a general algorithm that can be used
                 to identify clusters in any situation. The method's
                 performance is evaluated using simulated and publicly
                 available data set. Our results also clearly show that
                 our method is not an extension of the conventional

  abstract =     "Until recently, numerous feature selection techniques
                 have been proposed and found wide applications in
                 genomics and proteomics. For instance, feature/gene
                 selection has proven to be useful for biomarker
                 discovery from microarray and mass spectrometry data.
                 While supervised feature selection has been explored
                 extensively, there are only a few unsupervised methods
                 that can be applied to exploratory data analysis. In
                 this paper, we address the problem of unsupervised
                 feature selection. First, we extend Laplacian linear
                 discriminant analysis (LLDA) to unsupervised cases.
                 Second, we propose a novel algorithm for computing
                 LLDA, which is efficient in the case of high
                 dimensionality and small sample size as in microarray
                 data. Finally, an unsupervised feature selection
                 method, called LLDA-based Recursive Feature Elimination
                 (LLDA-RFE), is proposed. We apply LLDA-RFE to several
                 public data sets of cancer microarrays and compare its
                 performance with those of Laplacian score and
                 SVD-entropy, two state-of-the-art unsupervised methods,
                 and with that of Fisher score, a supervised filter
                 method. Our results demonstrate that LLDA-RFE
                 outperforms Laplacian score and shows favorable
                 performance against SVD-entropy. It performs even
                 better than Fisher score for some of the data sets,
                 despite the fact that LLDA-RFE is fully unsupervised.",

  abstract =     "Although the use of clustering methods has rapidly
                 become one of the standard computational approaches in
                 the literature of microarray gene expression data,
                 little attention has been paid to uncertainty in the
                 results obtained. Dirichlet process mixture (DPM)
                 models provide a nonparametric Bayesian alternative to
                 the bootstrap approach to modeling uncertainty in gene
                 expression clustering. Most previously published
                 applications of Bayesian model-based clustering methods
                 have been to short time series data. In this paper, we
                 present a case study of the application of
                 nonparametric Bayesian clustering methods to the
                 clustering of high-dimensional nontime series gene
                 expression data using full Gaussian covariances. We use
                 the probability that two genes belong to the same
                 cluster in a DPM model as a measure of the similarity
                 of these gene expression profiles. Conversely, this
                 probability can be used to define a dissimilarity
                 measure, which, for the purposes of visualization, can
                 be input to one of the standard linkage algorithms used
                 for hierarchical clustering. Biologically plausible
                 results are obtained from the Rosetta compendium of
                 expression profiles which extend previously published

  abstract =     "Protein folding is frequently guided by local residue
                 interactions that form clusters in the protein core.
                 The interactions between residue clusters serve as
                 potential nucleation sites in the folding process.
                 Evidence postulates that the residue interactions are
                 governed by the hydrophobic propensities that the
                 residues possess. An array of hydrophobicity scales has
                 been developed to determine the hydrophobic
                 propensities of residues under different environmental
                 conditions. In this work, we propose a
                 graph-theory-based data mining framework to extract and
                 isolate protein structural features that sustain
                 invariance in evolutionary-related proteins, through
                 the integrated analysis of five well-known
                 hydrophobicity scales over the 3D structure of
                 proteins. We hypothesize that proteins of the same
                 homology contain conserved hydrophobic residues and
                 exhibit analogous residue interaction patterns in the
                 folded state. The results obtained demonstrate that
                 discriminatory residue interaction patterns shared
                 among proteins of the same family can be employed for
                 both the structural and the functional annotation of
                 proteins. We obtained on the average 90 percent

                 small feature vector compared to previous results in
                 the area. This work presents an elaborate study, as

                 libraries. However, a large number of tests and
                 screenings are necessary for compiling such libraries.
                 We describe an algorithm for extracting as much
                 information as possible from pooling experiments for
                 library screening. Collections of clones are called
                 pools, and a pooling experiment is a group test for
                 detecting all positive clones. The probability of
                 positiveness for each clone is estimated according to
                 the outcomes of the pooling experiments. Clones with
                 high chance of positiveness are subjected to
                 confirmatory testing. In this paper, we introduce a new
                 positive clone detecting algorithm, called the Bayesian
                 network pool result decoder (BNPD). The performance of
                 BNPD is compared, by simulation, with that of the
                 Markov chain pool result decoder (MCPD) proposed by
                 Knill et al. in 1996. Moreover, the combinatorial

                 it is possible to determine in polynomial time whether

                 sequences and used as inputs to the in silico
                 prediction models. Another contribution of this work is
                 the generation of potentially novel and testable
                 predictions about the surface protein DGF-1 family in
                 Trypanosoma cruzi. Finally, these techniques are
                 potentially useful for the automated annotation of
                 known adhesin-like proteins from the trans-sialidase
                 surface protein family in T. cruzi, the etiological
                 agent of Chagas disease.",

                 are general modeling tools to organize information from
                 heterogeneous sources and have been applied in many
                 scientific, engineering, and business fields. With the
                 fast accumulation of graph data, building highly
                 accurate predictive models for graph data emerges as a
                 new challenge that has not been fully explored in the
                 data mining community. In this paper, we demonstrate a
                 novel technique called graph pattern diffusion (GPD)
                 kernel. Our idea is to leverage existing frequent
                 pattern discovery methods and to explore the
                 application of kernel classifier (e.g., support vector
                 machine) in building highly accurate graph
                 classification. In our method, we first identify all
                 frequent patterns from a graph database. We then map
                 subgraphs to graphs in the graph database and use a
                 process we call ``pattern diffusion'' to label nodes in
                 the graphs. Finally, we designed a graph alignment
                 algorithm to compute the inner product of two graphs.
                 We have tested our algorithm using a number of chemical
                 structure data. The experimental results demonstrate
                 that our method is significantly better than competing
                 methods such as those kernel functions based on paths,
                 cycles, and subgraphs.",

                 generated large amounts of gene interaction data. This
                 has allowed the construction of genomewide networks. A
                 significant number of genes in such networks remain
                 uncharacterized and predicting the molecular function
                 of these genes remains a major challenge. A number of
                 existing techniques assume that genes with similar
                 functions are topologically close in the network. Our
                 hypothesis is that genes with similar functions observe
                 similar annotation patterns in their neighborhood,
                 regardless of the distance between them in the
                 interaction network. We thus predict molecular
                 functions of uncharacterized genes by comparing their
                 functional neighborhoods to genes of known function. We
                 propose a two-phase approach. First, we extract
                 functional neighborhood features of a gene using Random
                 Walks with Restarts. We then employ a KNN classifier to
                 predict the function of uncharacterized genes based on
                 the computed neighborhood features. We perform
                 leave-one-out validation experiments on two $S$.

                 provides a natural control of the trade-off between
                 accuracy and coverage of prediction. We further propose
                 and evaluate prediction in sparse genomes by exploiting
                 features from well-annotated genomes.",

                 and phylogenetic profiles is the detection of
                 functionally related genes. Typically, only a small
                 number of functionally related genes cluster into one
                 or more groups, and the rest need to be ignored. For
                 such situations, we present Automated Hierarchical
                 Density Shaving (Auto-HDS), a framework that consists
                 of a fast hierarchical density-based clustering
                 algorithm and an unsupervised model selection strategy.
                 Auto-HDS can automatically select clusters of different
                 densities, present them in a compact hierarchy, and
                 rank individual clusters using an innovative stability

                 information for biological studies ranging from the
                 molecular to the ecological in scale; however, much of
                 the information present may yet be hidden from casual
                 analysis. One such information domain, trends in codon
                 usage, can provide a wealth of information about an
                 organism's genes and their expression. Degeneracy in
                 the genetic code allows more than one triplet codon to
                 code for the same amino acid, and usage of these codons
                 is often biased such that one or more of these
                 synonymous codons are preferred. Detection of this bias
                 is an important tool in the analysis of genomic data,
                 particularly as a predictor of gene expressivity.
                 Methods for identifying codon usage bias in genomic
                 data that rely solely on genomic sequence data are
                 susceptible to being confounded by the presence of
                 several factors simultaneously influencing codon
                 selection. Presented here is a new technique for
                 removing the effects of one of the more common
                 confounding factors, GC(AT)-content, and of visualizing
                 the search-space for codon usage bias through the use
                 of a solution landscape. This technique successfully

                 large-scale data such as microarrays is a first step
                 toward better understanding the mechanisms at work in
                 the cell. Two main issues have to be managed in such a
                 context: (1) choosing which measures have to be used to
                 distinguish between direct and indirect interactions
                 from high-dimensional microarray data and (2)
                 constructing networks with a low proportion of
                 false-positive edges. We present an efficient
                 methodology for the reconstruction of gene interaction
                 networks in a small-sample-size setting. The strength
                 of independence of any two genes is measured, in such
                 `high-dimensional network,' by a regularized estimation
                 of partial correlation based on Partial Least Squares
                 Regression. We finally emphasize specific properties of
                 the proposed method. To assess the sensitivity and
                 specificity of the method, we carried out the
                 reconstruction of networks from simulated data. We also

  abstract =     "Multiclass cancer classification on microarray data
                 has provided the feasibility of cancer diagnosis across
                 all of the common malignancies in parallel. Using
                 multiclass cancer feature selection approaches, it is
                 now possible to identify genes relevant to a set of
                 cancer types. However, besides identifying the relevant
                 genes for the set of all cancer types, it is deemed to
                 be more informative to biologists if the relevance of
                 each gene to specific cancer or subset of cancer types
                 could be revealed or pinpointed. In this paper, we
                 introduce two new definitions of multiclass relevancy
                 features, i.e., full class relevant (FCR) and partial
                 class relevant (PCR) features. Particularly, FCR
                 denotes genes that serve as candidate biomarkers for
                 discriminating all cancer types. PCR, on the other
                 hand, are genes that distinguish subsets of cancer
                 types. Subsequently, a Markov blanket embedded memetic
                 algorithm is proposed for the simultaneous
                 identification of both FCR and PCR genes. Results
                 obtained on commonly used synthetic and real-world
                 microarray data sets show that the proposed approach
                 converges to valid FCR and PCR genes that would assist
                 biologists in their research work. The identification
                 of both FCR and PCR genes is found to generate
                 improvement in classification accuracy on many
                 microarray data sets. Further comparison study to
                 existing state-of-the-art feature selection algorithms
                 also reveals the effectiveness and efficiency of the
                 proposed approach.",

  abstract =     "Many viruses of interest, such as influenza A, have
                 distinct segments in their genome. The evolution of
                 these viruses involves mutation and reassortment, where
                 segments are interchanged between viruses that coinfect
                 a host. Phylogenetic trees can be constructed to
                 investigate the mutation-driven evolution of individual
                 viral segments. However, reassortment events among
                 viral genomes are not well depicted in such bifurcating
                 trees. We propose the concept of reassortment networks
                 to analyze the evolution of segmented viruses. These
                 are layered graphs in which the layers represent
                 evolutionary stages such as a temporal series of
                 seasons in which influenza viruses are isolated. Nodes
                 represent viral isolates and reassortment events
                 between pairs of isolates. Edges represent evolutionary
                 steps, while weights on edges represent edit costs of
                 reassortment and mutation events. Paths represent
                 possible transformation series among viruses. The
                 length of each path is the sum edit cost of the events
                 required to transform one virus into another. In order
                 to analyze $ \tau $ stages of evolution of $n$ viruses
                 with segments of maximum length $m$, we first compute
                 the pairwise distances between all corresponding
                 segments of all viruses in $ {\cal O}(m^2 n^2) $ time
                 using dynamic programming. The reassortment network,
                 with $ {\cal O}(\tau n^2) $ nodes, is then constructed
                 using these distances. The ancestors and descendents of
                 a specific virus can be traced via shortest paths in
                 this network, which can be found in $ {\cal O}(\tau
                 n^3) $ time.",

                 microarrays inspire ongoing research into measurement
                 error in these experiments. Error arises at both the
                 technical level within the laboratory and the
                 experimental level. In this paper, we will focus on
                 estimating the spot-specific error, as there are few
                 currently available models. This paper outlines two
                 different approaches to quantify the reliability of
                 spot-specific intensity estimates. In both cases, the
                 spatial correlation between pixels and its impact on
                 spot quality is accounted for. The first method is a
                 straightforward parametric estimate of within-spot
                 variance that assumes a Gaussian distribution and
                 accounts for spatial correlation via an overdispersion
                 factor. The second method employs a nonparametric
                 quality estimate referred to throughout as the mean
                 square prediction error (MSPE). The MSPE first smoothes
                 a pixel region and then measures the difference between
                 actual pixel values and the smoother. Both methods
                 herein are compared for real and simulated data to
                 assess numerical characteristics and the ability to
                 describe poor spot quality. We conclude that both
                 approaches capture noise in the microarray platform and

  abstract =     "Analysis of conformational changes is one of the keys
                 to the understanding of protein functions and
                 interactions. For the analysis, we often compare two
                 protein structures, taking flexible regions like hinge
                 regions into consideration. The Root Mean Square
                 Deviation (RMSD) is the most popular measure for
                 comparing two protein structures, but it is only for
                 rigid structures without hinge regions. In this paper,
                 we propose a new measure called RMSD considering hinges
                 (RMSDh) and its variant {\rm RMSDh}$^{(k)}$ for
                 comparing two flexible proteins with hinge regions. We
                 also propose novel efficient algorithms for computing
                 them, which can detect the hinge positions at the same
                 time. The RMSDh is suitable for cases where there is
                 one small hinge region in each of the two target
                 structures. The new algorithm for computing the RMSDh
                 runs in linear time, which is the same as the time
                 complexity for computing the RMSD and is faster than
                 any of previous algorithms for hinge detection. The
                 {\rm RMSDh}$^{(k)}$ is designed for comparing
                 structures with more than one hinge region. The {\rm
                 RMSDh}$^{(k)}$ measure considers at most $k$ small
                 hinge region, i.e., the {\rm RMSDh}$^{(k)}$ value
                 should be small if the two structures are similar
                 except for at most $k$ hinge regions. To compute the
                 value, we propose an $ O(k n^2) $-time and $ O(n)
                 $-space algorithm based on a new dynamic programming
                 technique. With the same computational time and space,
                 we can enumerate the predicted hinge positions. We also
                 test our algorithms against actual flexible protein
                 structures, and show that the hinge positions can be
                 correctly detected by our algorithms.",

                 trees whose leaves are bijectively labeled by some
                 elements of $L$, the Maximum Agreement Supertree
                 (SMAST) problem is given as follows: find a tree $T$ on
                 a largest label set $ L' \subseqeq L $ that
                 homeomorphically contains every input tree restricted
                 to $ L' $. The problem has phylogenetic applications to
                 infer supertrees and perform tree congruence analyses.
                 In this paper, we focus on the parameterized complexity
                 of this NP-hard problem, considering different
                 combinations of parameters as well as particular cases.
                 We show that SMAST on $k$ rooted binary trees on a
                 label set of size $n$ can be solved in $ O((8 n)^k) $
                 time, which is an improvement with respect to the
                 previously known $ O(n^{3k^2}) $ time algorithm. In
                 this case, we also give an $ O((2 k)^p k n^2) $ time
                 algorithm, where $p$ is an upper bound on the number of
                 leaves of $L$ missing in a SMAST solution. This shows
                 that SMAST can be solved efficiently when the input
                 trees are mostly congruent. Then, for the particular
                 case where any triple of leaves is contained in at
                 least one input tree, we give $ O(4^p n^3) $ and $
                 O(3.12^p + n^4) $ time algorithms, obtaining the first
                 fixed-parameter tractable algorithms on a single
                 parameter for this problem. We also obtain
                 intractability results for several combinations of
                 parameters, thus indicating that it is unlikely that
                 fixed-parameter tractable algorithms can be found in
                 these particular cases.",

  abstract =     "Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are one of the
                 most important mechanisms in cellular processes. To
                 model protein interaction sites, recent studies have
                 suggested to find interacting protein group pairs from
                 large PPI networks at the first step and then to search
                 conserved motifs within the protein groups to form
                 interacting motif pairs. To consider the noise effect
                 and the incompleteness of biological data, we propose
                 to use quasi-bicliques for finding interacting protein
                 group pairs. We investigate two new problems that arise
                 from finding interacting protein group pairs: the
                 maximum vertex quasi-biclique problem and the maximum
                 balanced quasi-biclique problem. We prove that both
                 problems are NP-hard. This is a surprising result as
                 the widely known maximum vertex biclique problem is
                 polynomial time solvable [1]. We then propose a
                 heuristic algorithm that uses the greedy method to find
                 the quasi-bicliques from PPI networks. Our experiment
                 results on real data show that this algorithm has a
                 better performance than a benchmark algorithm for
                 identifying highly matched BLOCKS and PRINTS motifs. We
                 also report results of two case studies on interacting
                 motif pairs that map well with two interacting domain

  abstract =     "The problem of sorting by reciprocal translocations
                 (abbreviated as SBT) arises from the field of
                 comparative genomics, which is to find a shortest
                 sequence of reciprocal translocations that transforms
                 one genome $ \Pi $ into another genome $ \Gamma $, with
                 the restriction that $ \Pi $ and $ \Gamma $ contain the
                 same genes. SBT has been proved to be polynomial-time
                 solvable, and several polynomial algorithms have been
                 developed. In this paper, we show how to extend
                 Bergeron's SBT algorithm to include insertions and
                 deletions, allowing to compare genomes containing
                 different genes. In particular, if the gene set of $
                 \Pi $ is a subset (or superset, respectively) of the
                 gene set of $ \Gamma $, we present an approximation
                 algorithm for transforming $ \Pi $ into $ \Gamma $ by
                 reciprocal translocations and deletions (insertions,
                 respectively), providing a sorting sequence with length
                 at most OPT + 2, where OPT is the minimum number of
                 translocations and deletions (insertions, respectively)
                 needed to transform $ \Pi $ into $ \Gamma $; if $ \Pi $
                 and $ \Gamma $ have different genes but not containing
                 each other, we give a heuristic to transform $ \Pi $
                 into $ \Gamma $ by a shortest sequence of reciprocal
                 translocations, insertions, and deletions, with bounds
                 for the length of the sorting sequence it outputs. At a
                 conceptual level, there is some similarity between our
                 algorithm and the algorithm developed by El Mabrouk
                 which is used to sort two chromosomes with different
                 gene contents by reversals, insertions, and
                 deletions.",

                 expression data sets, where samples are taken from two
                 distinct classes (e.g., two types of cancer).
                 Specifically, the problem of linear separability for
                 pairs of genes is investigated. If a pair of genes
                 exhibits linear separation with respect to the two
                 classes, then the joint expression level of the two
                 genes is strongly correlated to the phenomena of the
                 sample being taken from one class or the other. This
                 may indicate an underlying molecular mechanism relating
                 the two genes and the phenomena(e.g., a specific
                 cancer). We developed and implemented novel efficient
                 algorithmic tools for finding all pairs of genes that
                 induce a linear separation of the two sample classes.
                 These tools are based on computational geometric
                 properties and were applied to 10 publicly available
                 cancer data sets. For each data set, we computed the
                 number of actual separating pairs and compared it to an
                 upper bound on the number expected by chance and to the
                 numbers resulting from shuffling the labels of the data
                 at random empirically. Seven out of these 10 data sets
                 are highly separable. Statistically, this phenomenon is
                 highly significant, very unlikely to occur at random.
                 It is therefore reasonable to expect that it manifests
                 a functional association between separating genes and
                 the underlying phenotypic classes.",

                 is a physical interpretation of molecular depth, a term
                 frequently used to describe the shape of a molecular
                 active site or binding site. Travel Depth can be seen

                 to travel from a point of the surface, i.e., the
                 Solvent-Excluded Surface (SES), to its convex hull.

                 the molecular surface, this volume-based approach is

                 from available gene expression profiles is a
                 challenging problem. Such reverse engineering of

                 sparsity is not uncommon, there are some domains where
                 the underlying graph can have some dense regions; one

  abstract =     "A standard approach to estimate intracellular fluxes
                 on a genome-wide scale is flux-balance analysis (FBA),
                 which optimizes an objective function subject to
                 constraints on (relations between) fluxes. The
                 performance of FBA models heavily depends on the
                 relevance of the formulated objective function and the
                 completeness of the defined constraints. Previous
                 studies indicated that FBA predictions can be improved
                 by adding regulatory on/off constraints. These
                 constraints were imposed based on either absolute or
                 relative gene expression values. We provide a new
                 algorithm that directly uses regulatory up/down
                 constraints based on gene expression data in FBA
                 optimization (tFBA). Our assumption is that if the
                 activity of a gene drastically changes from one
                 condition to the other, the flux through the reaction
                 controlled by that gene will change accordingly.",

                 class-distinguishing features (CDFs) from original
                 feature set, and then generalizes EDFs into
                 higher-level features based on their coupling degrees

                 stochastic context-free grammars (SCFGs) can fail to
                 return the correct, maximum likelihood solution in the
                 case of semantic ambiguity. This problem arises when
                 the algorithm implementing the model inspects the same
                 solution in different guises. It is a difficult problem
                 in the sense that proving semantic nonambiguity has
                 been shown to be algorithmically undecidable, while
                 compensating for it (by coalescing scores of equivalent
                 solutions) has been shown to be NP-hard. For stochastic
                 context-free grammars modeling RNA secondary structure,
                 it has been shown that the distortion of results can be
                 quite severe. Much less is known about the case when
                 stochastic context-free grammars model the matching of
                 a query sequence to an implicit consensus structure for
                 an RNA family.",

  abstract =     "The incongruency between a gene tree and a
                 corresponding species tree can be attributed to
                 evolutionary events such as gene duplication and gene
                 loss. This paper describes a combinatorial model where
                 so-called DTL-scenarios are used to explain the
                 differences between a gene tree and a corresponding
                 species tree taking into account gene duplications,
                 gene losses, and lateral gene transfers (also known as
                 horizontal gene transfers). The reasonable biological
                 constraint that a lateral gene transfer may only occur
                 between contemporary species leads to the notion of
                 acyclic DTL-scenarios. Parsimony methods are introduced
                 by defining appropriate optimization problems. We show
                 that finding most parsimonious acyclic DTL-scenarios is
                 NP-hard.",

                 identification of glycans remains a pressing problem in

                 peptides is important for understanding pathogenesis

                 feature subset to build a pattern classifier with
                 reduced complexity, so as to achieve improved
                 classification performance. From the perspective of
                 pattern analysis, producing stable or robust solution
                 is also a desired property of a feature selection
                 algorithm. However, the issue of robustness is often
                 overlooked in feature selection. In this study, we
                 analyze the robustness issue existing in feature
                 selection for high-dimensional and small-sized
                 gene-expression data, and propose to improve robustness
                 of feature selection algorithm by using multiple
                 feature selection evaluation criteria. Based on this
                 idea, a multicriterion fusion-based recursive feature
                 elimination (MCF-RFE) algorithm is developed with the
                 goal of improving both classification performance and
                 stability of feature selection results.",

                 cost-effective technology for high-throughput DNA

  abstract =     "Reconstruction of signaling pathway structures is
                 essential to decipher complex regulatory relationships
                 in living cells. The existing computational approaches
                 often rely on unrealistic biological assumptions and do
                 not explicitly consider signal transduction mechanisms.
                 Signal transduction events refer to linear cascades of
                 reactions from the cell surface to the nucleus and
                 characterize a signaling pathway. In this paper, we
                 propose a novel approach, Gene Set Gibbs Sampling
                 (GSGS), to reverse engineer signaling pathway
                 structures from gene sets related to the pathways. We
                 hypothesize that signaling pathways are structurally an
                 ensemble of overlapping linear signal transduction
                 events which we encode as Information Flows (IFs).",

                 key step in proteome research. Especially de novo
                 sequencing, the identification of a peptide from its
                 spectrum alone, is still a challenge even for
                 state-of-the-art algorithmic approaches. In this paper,

                 relaxation for solving an integer linear programming
                 formulation with an adaptation of Yen's $k$ shortest
                 paths algorithm. It shows a significant improvement in
                 running time compared to mixed integer optimization and

                 is that of assigning superfamily classification to a
                 given set of proteins. The classification reflects the
                 structural, evolutionary, and functional relatedness.
                 These relationships are embodied in a hierarchical
                 classification, such as the Structural Classification
                 of Protein (SCOP), which is mostly manually curated.
                 Such a classification is essential for the structural
                 and functional analyses of proteins. Yet a large number
                 of proteins remain unclassified. In this study, we have
                 proposed an unsupervised machine learning approach to
                 classify and assign a given set of proteins to SCOP
                 superfamilies. In the method, we have constructed a
                 database and similarity matrix using P-values obtained
                 from an all-against-all BLAST run and trained the
                 network with the ART2 unsupervised learning algorithm
                 using the rows of the similarity matrix as input

  abstract =     "Studying biological networks at topological level is a
                 major issue in computational biology studies and
                 simulation is often used in this context, either to
                 assess reverse engineering algorithms or to investigate
                 how topological properties depend on network
                 parameters. In both contexts, it is desirable for a
                 topology simulator to reproduce the current knowledge
                 on biological networks, to be able to generate a number
                 of networks with the same properties and to be flexible
                 with respect to the possibility to mimic networks of
                 different organisms. We propose a biological network
                 topology simulator, SimBioNeT, in which module
                 structures of different type and size are replicated at
                 different level of network organization and
                 interconnected, so to obtain the desired degree
                 distribution, e.g., scale free, and a clustering
                 coefficient constant with the number of nodes in the

                 is important to understand their biological functions.
                 Many data compressors for modern genomic sequences rely
                 heavily on finding repeats in the sequences.
                 Small-scale and local repetitive structures are better
                 understood than large and complex interspersed ones.
                 The notion of maximal repeats captures all the repeats
                 in the data in a space-efficient way. Prior work on
                 maximal repeat finding used either a suffix tree or a
                 suffix array along with other auxiliary data
                 structures. Their space usage is 19-50 times the text

  abstract =     "High-throughput methods systematically measure the
                 internal state of the entire cell, but powerful
                 computational tools are needed to infer dynamics from
                 their raw data. Therefore, we have developed a new
                 computational method, Eigen-genomic System
                 Dynamic-pattern Analysis (ESDA), which uses systems
                 theory to infer dynamic parameters from a time series
                 of gene expression measurements. As many genes are
                 measured at a modest number of time points, estimation
                 of the system matrix is underdetermined and traditional
                 approaches for estimating dynamic parameters are
                 ineffective; thus, ESDA uses the principle of
                 dimensionality reduction to overcome the data
                 imbalance. Since degradation rates are naturally
                 confounded by self-regulation, our model estimates an
                 effective degradation rate that is the difference
                 between self-regulation and degradation.",

                 task requiring computationally intensive operations.
                 Here, we present how multicore CPUs and GPUs have been
                 utilized to extract information about the shape, size,
                 and path followed by the mammalian oviduct, called the
                 fallopian tube in humans, from histology images, to
                 create a unique but realistic 3D virtual organ.
                 Histology images were processed to identify the
                 individual cross sections and determine the 3D path
                 that the tube follows through the tissue. This
                 information was then related back to the histology
                 images, linking the 2D cross sections with their
                 corresponding 3D position along the oviduct. A series
                 of linear 2D spline cross sections, which were
                 computationally generated for the length of the
                 oviduct, were bound to the 3D path of the tube using a
                 novel particle system technique that provides smooth
                 resolution of self-intersections. This results in a
                 unique 3D model of the oviduct, which is grounded in
                 reality. The GPU is used for the processor intensive
                 operations of image processing and particle physics

                 biochemical systems; recently, the need for simulation
                 algorithms able to cope with space is becoming more and
                 more compelling. Complex and detailed models of
                 biochemical systems need to deal with the movement of
                 single molecules and particles, taking into
                 consideration localized fluctuations, transportation
                 phenomena, and diffusion. A common drawback of spatial
                 models lies in their complexity: models can become very
                 large, and their simulation could be time consuming,
                 especially if we want to capture the systems behavior
                 in a reliable way using stochastic methods in
                 conjunction with a high spatial resolution. In order to
                 deliver the promise done by systems biology to be able
                 to understand a system as whole, we need to scale up
                 the size of models we are able to simulate, moving from
                 sequential to parallel simulation algorithms. In this
                 paper, we analyze Smoldyn, a widely diffused algorithm
                 for stochastic simulation of chemical reactions with
                 spatial resolution and single molecule detail, and we
                 propose an alternative, innovative implementation that

                 interaction) on the GPU, computing them in parallel on
                 each molecule of the system. The implementation offers

  abstract =     "Regulation of gene expression is a carefully regulated
                 phenomenon in the cell. ``Reverse-engineering''
                 algorithms try to reconstruct the regulatory
                 interactions among genes from genome-scale measurements
                 of gene expression profiles (microarrays). Mammalian
                 cells express tens of thousands of genes; hence,
                 hundreds of gene expression profiles are necessary in
                 order to have acceptable statistical evidence of
                 interactions between genes. As the number of profiles
                 to be analyzed increases, so do computational costs and
                 memory requirements. In this work, we designed and
                 developed a parallel computing algorithm to
                 reverse-engineer genome-scale gene regulatory networks
                 from thousands of gene expression profiles. The
                 algorithm is based on computing pairwise Mutual
                 Information between each gene-pair. We successfully
                 tested it to reverse engineer the Mus Musculus (mouse)
                 gene regulatory network in liver from gene expression
                 profiles collected from a public repository. A parallel
                 hierarchical clustering algorithm was implemented to
                 discover ``communities'' within the gene network.
                 Network communities are enriched for genes involved in
                 the same biological functions. The inferred network was
                 used to identify two mitochondrial proteins.",

  abstract =     "Markov clustering (MCL) is becoming a key algorithm
                 within bioinformatics for determining clusters in
                 networks. However, with increasing vast amount of data
                 on biological networks, performance and scalability
                 issues are becoming a critical limiting factor in
                 applications. Meanwhile, GPU computing, which uses CUDA
                 tool for implementing a massively parallel computing
                 environment in the GPU card, is becoming a very
                 powerful, efficient, and low-cost option to achieve
                 substantial performance gains over CPU approaches. The
                 use of on-chip memory on the GPU is efficiently
                 lowering the latency time, thus, circumventing a major
                 issue in other parallel computing environments, such as
                 MPI. We introduce a very fast Markov clustering
                 algorithm using CUDA (CUDA-MCL) to perform parallel
                 sparse matrix-matrix computations and parallel sparse
                 Markov matrix normalizations, which are at the heart of
                 MCL. We utilized ELLPACK-R sparse format to allow the
                 effective and fine-grain massively parallel processing
                 to cope with the sparse nature of interaction networks
                 data sets in bioinformatics applications. As the
                 results show, CUDA-MCL is significantly faster than the
                 original MCL running on CPU. Thus, large-scale parallel
                 computation on off-the-shelf desktop-machines, that
                 were previously only possible on supercomputing
                 architectures, can significantly change the way
                 bioinformaticians and biologists deal with their
                 data.",

  abstract =     "In the biological domain, clustering is based on the
                 assumption that genes or metabolites involved in a
                 common biological process are coexpressed/coaccumulated
                 under the control of the same regulatory network. Thus,
                 a detailed inspection of the grouped patterns to verify
                 their memberships to well-known metabolic pathways
                 could be very useful for the evaluation of clusters
                 from a biological perspective. The aim of this work is
                 to propose a novel approach for the comparison of
                 clustering methods over metabolic data sets, including
                 prior biological knowledge about the relation among
                 elements that constitute the clusters. A way of
                 measuring the biological significance of clustering
                 solutions is proposed. This is addressed from the
                 perspective of the usefulness of the clusters to
                 identify those patterns that change in coordination and
                 belong to common pathways of metabolic regulation. The
                 measure summarizes in a compact way the objective
                 analysis of clustering methods, which respects
                 coherence and clusters distribution. It also evaluates
                 the biological internal connections of such clusters
                 considering common pathways. The proposed measure was

  abstract =     "Several approaches have been presented in the
                 literature to cluster Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI)
                 networks. They can be grouped in two main categories:
                 those allowing a protein to participate in different
                 clusters and those generating only nonoverlapping
                 clusters. In both cases, a challenging task is to find
                 a suitable compromise between the biological relevance
                 of the results and a comprehensive coverage of the
                 analyzed networks. Indeed, methods returning high
                 accurate results are often able to cover only small
                 parts of the input PPI network, especially when
                 low-characterized networks are considered. We present a
                 coclustering-based technique able to generate both
                 overlapping and nonoverlapping clusters. The density of
                 the clusters to search for can also be set by the user.
                 We tested our method on the two networks of yeast and
                 human, and compared it to other five well-known
                 techniques on the same interaction data sets. The
                 results showed that, for all the examples considered,
                 our approach always reaches a good compromise between
                 accuracy and network coverage. Furthermore, the
                 behavior of our algorithm is not influenced by the
                 structure of the input network, different from all the
                 techniques considered in the comparison, which returned
                 very good results on the yeast network, while on the
                 human network their outcomes are rather poor.",

  abstract =     "The functional annotation of proteins is one of the
                 most important tasks in the post-genomic era. Although
                 many computational approaches have been developed in
                 recent years to predict protein function, most of these
                 traditional algorithms do not take interrelationships
                 among functional terms into account, such as different
                 GO terms usually coannotate with some common proteins.
                 In this study, we propose a new functional similarity
                 measure in the form of Jaccard coefficient to quantify
                 these interrelationships and also develop a framework
                 for incorporating GO term similarity into protein
                 function prediction process. The experimental results
                 of cross-validation on \bioname{S. cerevisiae} and {\em
                 Homo sapiens} data sets demonstrate that our method is
                 able to improve the performance of protein function
                 prediction. In addition, we find that small size terms
                 associated with a few of proteins obtain more benefit
                 than the large size ones when considering functional
                 interrelationships. We also compare our similarity
                 measure with other two widely used measures, and
                 results indicate that when incorporated into function
                 prediction algorithms, our proposed measure is more
                 effective. Experiment results also illustrate that our
                 algorithms outperform two previous competing
                 algorithms, which also take functional
                 interrelationships into account, in prediction
                 accuracy. Finally, we show that our method is robust to
                 annotations in the database which are not complete at
                 present. These results give new insights about the

                 analysis of sample classifications. The proposed
                 algorithm first divides genes into subsets, the sizes
                 of which are relatively small (roughly of size $h$ ),
                 then selects informative smaller subsets of genes (of
                 size $ r < h $ ) from a subset and merges the chosen
                 genes with another gene subset (of size $r$ ) to update
                 the gene subset. We repeat this process until all
                 subsets are merged into one informative subset. We
                 illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm
                 by analyzing three distinct gene expression data sets.
                 Our method shows promising classification accuracy for
                 all the test data sets. We also show the relevance of
                 the selected genes in terms of their biological
                 functions.",

                 generate large sets of structural conformations as
                 candidates (called decoys), and then select the most
                 representative decoys through clustering techniques.
                 Classical clustering methods are inefficient due to the
                 pairwise distance calculation, and thus become
                 infeasible when the number of decoys is large. In
                 addition, the existing clustering approaches suffer
                 from the arbitrariness in determining a distance
                 threshold for proteins within a cluster: a small
                 distance threshold leads to many small clusters, while
                 a large distance threshold results in the merging of
                 several independent clusters into one cluster. In this
                 paper, we propose an efficient clustering method
                 through fast estimating cluster centroids and efficient
                 pruning rotation spaces. The number of clusters is
                 automatically detected by information distance
                 criteria. A package named ONION, which can be
                 downloaded freely, is implemented accordingly.
                 Experimental results on benchmark data sets suggest
                 that ONION is 14 times faster than existing tools, and
                 ONION obtains better selections for 31 targets, and
                 worse selection for 19 targets compared to SPICKER's
                 selections. On an average PC, ONION can cluster 100,000
                 decoys in around 12 minutes.",

  abstract =     "Detecting members of known noncoding RNA (ncRNA)
                 families in genomic DNA is an important part of
                 sequence annotation. However, the most widely used tool
                 for modeling ncRNA families, the covariance model (CM),
                 incurs a high-computational cost when used for
                 genome-wide search. This cost can be reduced by using a
                 filter to exclude sequences that are unlikely to
                 contain the ncRNA of interest, applying the CM only
                 where it is likely to match strongly. Despite recent
                 advances, designing an efficient filter that can detect
                 ncRNA instances lacking strong conservation while
                 excluding most irrelevant sequences remains
                 challenging. In this work, we design three types of
                 filters based on multiple secondary structure profiles
                 (SSPs). An SSP augments a regular profile (i.e., a
                 position weight matrix) with secondary structure
                 information but can still be efficiently scanned
                 against long sequences. Multi-SSP-based filters combine
                 evidence from multiple SSP matches and can achieve high
                 sensitivity and specificity. Our SSP-based filters are
                 extensively tested in BRAliBase III data set, Rfam 9.0,
                 and a published soil metagenomic data set. In addition,
                 we compare the SSP-based filters with several other
                 ncRNA search tools including Infernal (with profile
                 HMMs as filters), ERPIN, and tRNAscan-SE. Our
                 experiments demonstrate that carefully designed SSP
                 filters can achieve significant speedup over unfiltered
                 CM search while maintaining high sensitivity for
                 various ncRNA families. The designed filters and

                 knowledge about the roles and functions of genes and

                 analysis of gene expression data to make it more
                 robust, compact, and interpretable. Here, we

                 clustering for the identification of groups of
                 functionally related genes. The analysis is performed

                 Features of biological samples that originally

                 still a typical step in several bioinformatic tasks, in
                 particular, for tertiary structure prediction.
                 Notwithstanding the impressive results obtained so far,
                 mostly due to the advent of sequence encoding schemes
                 based on multiple alignment, in our view the problem

                 understanding how available information sources are
                 dealt with plays a central role. After revisiting a
                 well-known secondary structure predictor viewed from
                 this perspective (with the goal of identifying which
                 sources of information have been considered and which
                 have not), we propose a generic software architecture
                 designed to account for all relevant information

                 to proteins. Several existing protein identification

                 Motivated by the fact that semi-supervised and

                 polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) is useful in small-scale basic
                 research studies of complex genetic diseases that are
                 associated with single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP).
                 Designing a feasible primer pair is an important work
                 before performing PCR-RFLP for SNP genotyping. However,
                 in many cases, restriction enzymes to discriminate the
                 target SNP resulting in the primer design is not
                 applicable. A mutagenic primer is introduced to solve
                 this problem. GA-based Mismatch PCR-RFLP Primers Design
                 (GAMPD) provides a method that uses a genetic algorithm
                 to search for optimal mutagenic primers and available
                 restriction enzymes from REBASE. In order to improve
                 the efficiency of the proposed method, a mutagenic
                 matrix is employed to judge whether a hypothetical
                 mutagenic primer can discriminate the target SNP by
                 digestion with available restriction enzymes. The
                 available restriction enzymes for the target SNP are
                 mined by the updated core of SNP-RFLPing. GAMPD has
                 been used to simulate the SNPs in the human SLC6A4 gene
                 under different parameter settings and compared with
                 SNP Cutter for mismatch PCR-RFLP primer design. The in
                 silico simulation of the proposed GAMPD program showed
                 that it designs mismatch PCR-RFLP primers. The GAMPD
                 program is implemented in JAVA and is freely available

                 specimens for future use. Stem cell cryostorage in
                 particular is fast becoming a broadly spread practice
                 due to their potential for use in regenerative
                 medicine. For the optimal cryopreservation process,
                 ultralow temperatures are needed. However, elevated
                 temperatures are often unavoidable in a typical sample
                 handling cycle which in turn negatively affects the
                 postcryopreservation integrity of cells. In this paper,
                 we present an application of active learning using an
                 underlying Gaussian Process (GP) model in an
                 experimental study on postcryopreservation membrane
                 integrity response to a range of elevated temperature
                 conditions. We tailored this technique for the current
                 investigation and developed an algorithm which enabled
                 identification of the sampling locations for the
                 experiments in order to obtain the highest information
                 return about the process from a limited size sample
                 set. We applied this algorithm in the experimental
                 study investigating the effects of severe temperature
                 elevation (ranging from $ - 40 $ to $ 20^{\circ } ${\rm

                 algorithm showed excellent performance by selecting the
                 locations which maximized the reduction of variance of
                 the process response estimate. An approximating GP
                 model developed from this experimental data shows that
                 the elevated temperatures during cryopreservation have
                 an imminent detrimental effect on cell integrity.",

                 networks is one major task in the postgenome era.
                 Previous developed computational algorithms identifying
                 complexes mainly focus on graph partition or dense
                 region finding. Most of these traditional algorithms
                 cannot discover overlapping complexes which really
                 exist in the protein-protein interaction (PPI)
                 networks. Even if some density-based methods have been
                 developed to identify overlapping complexes, they are
                 not able to discover complexes that include peripheral
                 proteins. In this study, motivated by recent successful
                 application of generative network model to describe the
                 generation process of PPI networks and to detect
                 communities from social networks, we develop a
                 regularized sparse generative network model (RSGNM), by
                 adding another process that generates propensities
                 using exponential distribution and incorporating
                 Laplacian regularizer into an existing generative
                 network model, for protein complexes identification. By
                 assuming that the propensities are generated using
                 exponential distribution, the estimators of
                 propensities will be sparse, which not only has good
                 biological interpretation but also helps to control the
                 overlapping rate among detected complexes. And the
                 Laplacian regularizer will lead to the estimators of
                 propensities more smooth on interaction networks.
                 Experimental results on three yeast PPI networks show
                 that RSGNM outperforms six previous competing
                 algorithms in terms of the quality of detected
                 complexes. In addition, RSGNM is able to detect
                 overlapping complexes and complexes including
                 peripheral proteins simultaneously. These results give
                 new insights about the importance of generative network
                 models in protein complexes identification.",

                 biological systems including genetic memory circuits.
                 Proper characterization of system stability helps to
                 understand biological functions and has potential
                 applications in fields such as synthetic biology.
                 Existing methods of analyzing bistability are either
                 qualitative or in a static way. Assuming the circuit is
                 in a steady state, the latter can only reveal the
                 susceptibility of the stability to injected DC noises.
                 However, this can be inappropriate and inadequate as
                 dynamics are crucial for many biological networks. In
                 this paper, we quantitatively characterize the dynamic
                 stability of a genetic conditional memory circuit by
                 developing new dynamic noise margin (DNM) concepts and
                 associated algorithms based on system theory. Taking
                 into account the duration of the noisy perturbation,
                 the DNMs are more general cases of their static
                 counterparts. Using our techniques, we analyze the
                 noise immunity of the memory circuit and derive
                 insights on dynamic hold and write operations.
                 Considering cell-to-cell variations, our parametric
                 analysis reveals that the dynamic stability of the
                 memory circuit has significantly varying sensitivities
                 to underlying biochemical reactions attributable to
                 differences in structure, time scales, and nonlinear
                 interactions between reactions. With proper extensions,
                 our techniques are broadly applicable to other
                 multistable biological systems.",

                 tetramers laterally associating into unit-length
                 filaments and a slow phase of filament elongation. We
                 focus in this paper on a systematic quantitative
                 investigation of two molecular models for filament
                 assembly, recently proposed in (Kirmse et al. J. Biol.
                 Chem. 282, 52 (2007), 18563-18572), through
                 mathematical modeling, model fitting, and model
                 validation. We analyze the quantitative contribution of
                 each filament elongation strategy: with tetramers, with
                 unit-length filaments, with longer filaments, or
                 combinations thereof. In each case, we discuss the
                 numerical fitting of the model with respect to one set
                 of data, and its separate validation with respect to a
                 second, different set of data. We introduce a

                 self-assembly, able to capture the detailed dynamics of
                 filaments of arbitrary length. This provides much more
                 predictive power for the model, in comparison to
                 previous models where only the mean length of all
                 filaments in the solution could be analyzed. We show
                 how kinetic observations on low-resolution models can
                 be extrapolated to the high-resolution model and used
                 for lowering its complexity.",

                 as well as of the interactions among biochemical
                 species responsible for cell's regulation. Such an
                 expanding knowledge also introduces new issues. For

                 interdependencies between pathways (pathways
                 cross-talk) has resulted, on one hand, in the growth of
                 informational complexity, on the other, in a strong
                 lack of information coherence. The overall grand

                 a renowned analysis tool, which, although widely used,
                 is subject to stringent computational requirements, in
                 particular when dealing with heterogeneous and high
                 dimensional systems. Here, we introduce and discuss a
                 methodology aimed at alleviating the burden of
                 simulating complex biological networks. Such a method,
                 which springs from graph theory, is based on the
                 principle of fragmenting the computational space of a
                 simulation trace and delegating the computation of
                 fragments to a number of parallel processes.",

  abstract =     "The scope and effectiveness of Rank Aggregation (RA)
                 have already been established in contemporary
                 bioinformatics research. Rank aggregation helps in
                 meta-analysis of putative results collected from
                 different analytic or experimental sources. For
                 example, we often receive considerably differing ranked
                 lists of genes or microRNAs from various target
                 prediction algorithms or microarray studies. Sometimes
                 combining them all, in some sense, yields more
                 effective ordering of the set of objects. Also,
                 assigning a certain level of confidence to each source
                 of ranking is a natural demand of aggregation.
                 Assignment of weights to the sources of orderings can
                 be performed by experts. Several rank aggregation
                 approaches like those based on Markov Chains (MCs),
                 evolutionary algorithms, etc., exist in the literature.
                 Markov chains, in general, are faster than the
                 evolutionary approaches. Unlike the evolutionary
                 computing approaches Markov chains have not been used
                 for weighted aggregation scenarios. This is because of
                 the absence of a formal framework of Weighted Markov
                 Chain (WMC). In this paper, we propose the use of a
                 modified version of MC4 (one of the Markov chains
                 proposed by Dwork et al., 2001), followed by the
                 weighted analog of local Kemenization for performing
                 rank aggregation, where the sources of rankings can be
                 prioritized by an expert. Effectiveness of the weighted
                 Markov chain approach over the very recently proposed
                 Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Cross-Entropy Monte Carlo
                 (MC) algorithm-based techniques, has been established
                 for gene orderings from microarray analysis and
                 orderings of predicted microRNA targets.",

  abstract =     "``Signal'' alignments play critical roles in many
                 clinical setting. This is the case of mass spectrometry
                 (MS) data, an important component of many types of
                 proteomic analysis. A central problem occurs when one
                 needs to integrate (MS) data produced by different
                 sources, e.g., different equipment and/or laboratories.
                 In these cases, some form of ``data integration'' or
                 ``data fusion'' may be necessary in order to discard
                 some source-specific aspects and improve the ability to
                 perform a classification task such as inferring the
                 ``disease classes'' of patients. The need for new
                 high-performance data alignments methods is therefore
                 particularly important in these contexts. In this
                 paper, we propose an approach based both on an
                 information theory perspective, generally used in a
                 feature construction problem, and the application of a
                 mathematical programming task (i.e., the weighted
                 bipartite matching problem). We present the results of
                 a competitive analysis of our method against other
                 approaches. The analysis was conducted on data from
                 plasma/ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid of ``control''
                 and Alzheimer patients collected from three different
                 hospitals. The results point to a significant
                 performance advantage of our method with respect to the
                 competing ones tested.",

                 in cancer as they may localize to regions harboring
                 oncogenes or tumor suppressors. Such genomic
                 alterations mediate phenotypic changes through their
                 impact on expression. Both cis- and trans-acting
                 alterations are important since they may help to
                 elucidate putative cancer genes. However, amidst
                 numerous passenger genes, trans-effects are less well
                 studied due to the computational difficulty in
                 detecting weak and sparse signals in the data, and yet
                 may influence multiple genes on a global scale. We
                 propose an integrative approach to learn a sparse
                 interaction network of DNA copy-number regions with
                 their downstream transcriptional targets in breast
                 cancer. With respect to goodness of fit on both
                 simulated and real data, the performance of sparse
                 network inference is no worse than other
                 state-of-the-art models but with the advantage of
                 simultaneous feature selection and efficiency. The
                 DNA-RNA interaction network helps to distinguish
                 copy-number driven expression alterations from those
                 that are copy-number independent. Further, our approach
                 yields a quantitative copy-number dependency score,
                 which distinguishes cis- versus trans-effects. When
                 applied to a breast cancer data set, numerous
                 expression profiles were impacted by cis-acting
                 copy-number alterations, including several known
                 oncogenes such as GRB7, ERBB2, and LSM1. Several
                 trans-acting alterations were also identified,
                 impacting genes such as ADAM2 and BAGE, which warrant
                 further investigation. Availability: An R package named

  abstract =     "Reconstruction of a biological system from its
                 experimental time series data is a challenging task in
                 systems biology. The S-system which consists of a group
                 of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is
                 an effective model to characterize molecular biological
                 systems and analyze the system dynamics. However,
                 inference of S-systems without the knowledge of system
                 structure is not a trivial task due to its nonlinearity
                 and complexity. In this paper, a pruning separable
                 parameter estimation algorithm (PSPEA) is proposed for
                 inferring S-systems. This novel algorithm combines the
                 separable parameter estimation method (SPEM) and a
                 pruning strategy, which includes adding an $ \ell_1 $
                 regularization term to the objective function and
                 pruning the solution with a threshold value. Then, this
                 algorithm is combined with the continuous genetic
                 algorithm (CGA) to form a hybrid algorithm that owns
                 the properties of these two combined algorithms. The
                 performance of the pruning strategy in the proposed
                 algorithm is evaluated from two aspects: the parameter
                 estimation error and structure identification accuracy.
                 The results show that the proposed algorithm with the
                 pruning strategy has much lower estimation error and
                 much higher identification accuracy than the existing
                 method.",

  abstract =     "Gene expression models play a key role to understand
                 the mechanisms of gene regulation whose aspects are
                 grade and switch-like responses. Though many stochastic
                 approaches attempt to explain the gene expression
                 mechanisms, the Gillespie algorithm which is commonly
                 used to simulate the stochastic models requires
                 additional gene cascade to explain the switch-like
                 behaviors of gene responses. In this study, we propose
                 a stochastic gene expression model describing the
                 switch-like behaviors of a gene by employing Hill
                 functions to the conventional Gillespie algorithm. We
                 assume eight processes of gene expression and their
                 biologically appropriate reaction rates are estimated
                 based on published literatures. We observed that the
                 state of the system of the toggled switch model is
                 rarely changed since the Hill function prevents the
                 activation of involved proteins when their
                 concentrations stay below a criterion. In ScbA-ScbR
                 system, which can control the antibiotic metabolite
                 production of microorganisms, our modified Gillespie
                 algorithm successfully describes the switch-like
                 behaviors of gene responses and oscillatory expressions
                 which are consistent with the published experimental
                 study.",

                 homology-based approach and composition-based approach
                 to further study the functional core (i.e., microbial
                 core and gene core, correspondingly). In the proposed
                 method, the identification of major functionality
                 groups is achieved by generative topic modeling, which
                 is able to extract useful information from unlabeled
                 data. We first show that generative topic model can be
                 used to model the taxon abundance information obtained
                 by homology-based approach and study the microbial
                 core. The model considers each sample as a
                 ``document,'' which has a mixture of functional groups,
                 while each functional group (also known as a ``latent
                 topic'') is a weight mixture of species. Therefore,
                 estimating the generative topic model for taxon
                 abundance data will uncover the distribution over
                 latent functions (latent topic) in each sample. Second,
                 we show that, generative topic model can also be used
                 to study the genome-level composition of ``N-mer''
                 features (DNA subreads obtained by composition-based
                 approaches). The model consider each genome as a
                 mixture of latten genetic patterns (latent topics),
                 while each functional pattern is a weighted mixture of
                 the ``N-mer'' features, thus the existence of core
                 genomes can be indicated by a set of common N-mer
                 features. After studying the mutual information between
                 latent topics and gene regions, we provide an
                 explanation of the functional roles of uncovered latten
                 genetic patterns. The experimental results demonstrate

                 sequences. These residues and sites tend to be not only

                 fundamental task in computational biology. The simplest
                 outcome of such a comparison is a pairwise measure of
                 similarity, dissimilarity, or distance. A large number
                 of such measures have been proposed, but so far all
                 suffer from problems varying from computational cost to
                 lack of robustness; many can be shown to behave
                 unexpectedly under certain plausible inputs. For
                 instance, the widely used Robinson--Foulds distance is
                 poorly distributed and thus affords little
                 discrimination, while also lacking robustness in the
                 face of very small changes-reattaching a single leaf
                 elsewhere in a tree of any size can instantly maximize
                 the distance. In this paper, we introduce a new
                 pairwise distance measure, based on matching, for
                 phylogenetic trees. We prove that our measure induces a

                 low polynomial time, verify through statistical testing
                 that it is robust, and finally note that it does not
                 exhibit unexpected behavior under the same inputs that
                 cause problems with other measures. We also illustrate
                 its usefulness in clustering trees, demonstrating
                 significant improvements in the quality of hierarchical
                 clustering as compared to the same collections of trees

                 refinement algorithms) yields substantial improvement
                 in the quality of inferred networks over all current
                 methods. We also compare ProPhyC with a transfer
                 learning approach we design. This approach also uses
                 phylogenetic relationships while inferring regulatory
                 networks for a family of organisms. Using similar input
                 information but designed in a very different framework,
                 this transfer learning approach does not perform better
                 than ProPhyC, which indicates that ProPhyC makes good
                 use of the evolutionary information.",

  abstract =     "Detecting essential multiprotein modules that change
                 infrequently during evolution is a challenging
                 algorithmic task that is important for understanding
                 the structure, function, and evolution of the
                 biological cell. In this paper, we define a measure of
                 modularity for interactomes and present a linear-time
                 algorithm, Produles, for detecting multiprotein
                 modularity conserved during evolution that improves on
                 the running time of previous algorithms for related
                 problems and offers desirable theoretical guarantees.
                 We present a biologically motivated graph theoretic set
                 of evaluation measures complementary to previous
                 evaluation measures, demonstrate that Produles exhibits
                 good performance by all measures, and describe certain
                 recurrent anomalies in the performance of previous
                 algorithms that are not detected by previous measures.
                 Consideration of the newly defined measures and
                 algorithm performance on these measures leads to useful
                 insights on the nature of interactomics data and the
                 goals of previous and current algorithms. Through
                 randomization experiments, we demonstrate that
                 conserved modularity is a defining characteristic of
                 interactomes. Computational experiments on current
                 experimentally derived interactomes for \bioname{Homo
                 sapiens} and \bioname{Drosophila melanogaster}, combining
                 results across algorithms, show that nearly 10 percent
                 of current interactome proteins participate in
                 multiprotein modules with good evidence in the protein
                 interaction data of being conserved between human and
                 Drosophila.",

  abstract =     "Assigning biological functions to uncharacterized
                 proteins is a fundamental problem in the postgenomic
                 era. The increasing availability of large amounts of
                 data on protein-protein interactions (PPIs) has led to
                 the emergence of a considerable number of computational
                 methods for determining protein function in the context
                 of a network. These algorithms, however, treat each
                 functional class in isolation and thereby often suffer
                 from the difficulty of the scarcity of labeled data. In
                 reality, different functional classes are naturally
                 dependent on one another. We propose a new algorithm,
                 Multi-label Correlated Semi-supervised Learning (MCSL),
                 to incorporate the intrinsic correlations among
                 functional classes into protein function prediction by
                 leveraging the relationships provided by the PPI
                 network and the functional class network. The guiding
                 intuition is that the classification function should be
                 sufficiently smooth on subgraphs where the respective
                 topologies of these two networks are a good match. We
                 encode this intuition as regularized learning with
                 intraclass and interclass consistency, which can be
                 understood as an extension of the graph-based learning
                 with local and global consistency (LGC) method. Cross
                 validation on the yeast proteome illustrates that MCSL
                 consistently outperforms several state-of-the-art
                 methods. Most notably, it effectively overcomes the
                 problem associated with scarcity of label data. The

  abstract =     "Identification of essential proteins is key to
                 understanding the minimal requirements for cellular
                 life and important for drug design. The rapid increase
                 of available protein-protein interaction (PPI) data has
                 made it possible to detect protein essentiality on
                 network level. A series of centrality measures have
                 been proposed to discover essential proteins based on
                 network topology. However, most of them tended to focus
                 only on the location of singleprotein, but ignored the
                 relevance between interactions and protein
                 essentiality. In this paper, a new centrality measure
                 for identifying essential proteins based on edge
                 clustering coefficient, named as NC, is proposed.
                 Different from previous centrality measures, NC
                 considers both the centrality of a node and the
                 relationship between it and its neighbors. For each
                 interaction in the network, we calculate its edge
                 clustering coefficient. A node's essentiality is
                 determined by the sum of the edge clustering
                 coefficients of interactions connecting it and its
                 neighbors. The new centrality measure NC takes into
                 account the modular nature of protein essentiality. NC
                 is applied to three different types of yeast
                 protein-protein interaction networks, which are
                 obtained from the DIP database, the MIPS database and
                 the BioGRID database, respectively. The experimental
                 results on the three different networks show that the
                 number of essential proteins discovered by NC
                 universally exceeds that discovered by the six other
                 centrality measures: DC, BC, CC, SC, EC, and IC.
                 Moreover, the essential proteins discovered by NC show
                 significant cluster effect.",

  abstract =     "Recently, several domain-based computational models
                 for predicting protein-protein interactions (PPIs) have
                 been proposed. The conventional methods usually infer
                 domain or domain combination (DC) interactions from
                 already known interacting sets of proteins, and then
                 predict PPIs using the information. However, the
                 majority of these models often have limitations in
                 providing detailed information on which domain pair
                 (single domain interaction) or DC pair (multidomain
                 interaction) will actually interact for the predicted
                 protein interaction. Therefore, a more comprehensive
                 and concrete computational model for the prediction of
                 PPIs is needed. We developed a computational model to
                 predict PPIs using the information of intraprotein
                 domain cohesion and interprotein DC coupling
                 interaction. A method of identifying the primary
                 interacting DC pair was also incorporated into the
                 model in order to infer actual participants in a
                 predicted interaction. Our method made an apparent
                 improvement in the PPI prediction accuracy, and the
                 primary interacting DC pair identification was valid
                 specifically in predicting multidomain protein
                 interactions. In this paper, we demonstrate that (1)
                 the intraprotein domain cohesion is meaningful in
                 improving the accuracy of domain-based PPI prediction,
                 (2) a prediction model incorporating the intradomain
                 cohesion enables us to identify the primary interacting
                 DC pair, and (3) a hybrid approach using the
                 intra/interdomain interaction information can lead to a
                 more accurate prediction.",

                 clinicopathologic features and predict prognosis after
                 a certain treatment, have been externally validated and
                 used in practice. In recent years, most research has
                 focused on high dimensional genomic data and small
                 sample sizes. Since clinically similar but molecularly
                 heterogeneous tumors may produce different clinical
                 outcomes, the combination of clinical and genomic
                 information, which may be complementary, is crucial to
                 improve the quality of prognostic predictions. However,
                 there is a lack of an integrating scheme for
                 clinic-genomic models due to the $ {\rm P} \gg {\rm N}
                 $ problem, in particular, for a parsimonious model. We
                 propose a methodology to build a reduced yet accurate
                 integrative model using a hybrid approach based on the
                 Cox regression model, which uses several dimension
                 reduction techniques, $ {\rm L}_2 $ penalized maximum
                 likelihood estimation (PMLE), and resampling methods to
                 tackle the problem. The predictive accuracy of the
                 modeling approach is assessed by several metrics via an
                 independent and thorough scheme to compare competing
                 methods. In breast cancer data studies on a metastasis
                 and death event, we show that the proposed methodology
                 can improve prediction accuracy and build a final model
                 with a hybrid signature that is parsimonious when
                 integrating both types of variables.",

  abstract =     "Here, we propose BpMatch: an algorithm that, working
                 on a suitably modified suffix-tree data structure, is
                 able to compute, in a fast and efficient way, the
                 coverage of a source sequence $S$ on a target sequence
                 $T$, by taking into account direct and reverse
                 segments, eventually overlapped. Using BpMatch, the
                 operator should define a priori, the minimum length $l$
                 of a segment and the minimum number of occurrences
                 minRep, so that only segments longer than $l$ and
                 having a number of occurrences greater than minRep are
                 considered to be significant. BpMatch outputs the
                 significant segments found and the computed
                 segment-based distance. On the worst case, assuming the
                 alphabet dimension $d$ is a constant, the time required
                 by BpMatch to calculate the coverage is $ O(l^2 n) $.
                 On the average, by setting $ l \ge 2 \log_d(n) $, the
                 time required to calculate the coverage is only $ O(n)
                 $. BpMatch, thanks to the minRep parameter, can also be
                 used to perform a self-covering: to cover a sequence
                 using segments coming from itself, by avoiding the
                 trivial solution of having a single segment coincident
                 with the whole sequence. The result of the
                 self-covering approach is a spectral representation of
                 the repeats contained in the sequence. BpMatch is

  abstract =     "Since Darwin, species trees have been used as a
                 simplified description of the relationships which
                 summarize the complicated network $N$ of reality.
                 Recent evidence of hybridization and lateral gene
                 transfer, however, suggest that there are situations
                 where trees are inadequate. Consequently it is
                 important to determine properties that characterize
                 networks closely related to $N$ and possibly more
                 complicated than trees but lacking the full complexity
                 of $N$. A connected surjective digraph map (CSD) is a
                 map $f$ from one network $N$ to another network $M$
                 such that every arc is either collapsed to a single
                 vertex or is taken to an arc, such that $f$ is
                 surjective, and such that the inverse image of a vertex
                 is always connected. CSD maps are shown to behave well
                 under composition. It is proved that if there is a CSD
                 map from $N$ to $M$, then there is a way to lift an
                 undirected version of $M$ into $N$, often with added
                 resolution. A CSD map from $N$ to $M$ puts strong
                 constraints on $N$. In general, it may be useful to
                 study classes of networks such that, for any $N$, there
                 exists a CSD map from $N$ to some standard member of
                 that class.",

                 ligand properties such as binding affinity, ligand
                 volume, drug likeness, etc. Therefore, optimization of
                 these properties independently and simultaneously seems
                 appropriate. In this paper, the ligand design problem
                 is modeled in a multiobjective using Archived
                 MultiObjective Simulated Annealing (AMOSA) as the
                 underlying search algorithm. The multiple objectives
                 considered are the energy components similarity to a
                 known inhibitor and a novel drug likeliness measure
                 based on Lipinski's rule of five. RecA protein of
                 Mycobacterium tuberculosis, causative agent of
                 tuberculosis, is taken as the target for the drug
                 design. To gauge the goodness of the results, they are
                 compared to the outputs of LigBuilder, NEWLEAD, and
                 Variable genetic algorithm (VGA). The same problem has
                 also been modeled using a well-established genetic
                 algorithm-based multiobjective optimization technique,
                 Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II), to
                 find the efficacy of AMOSA through comparative
                 analysis. Results demonstrate that while some small
                 molecules designed by the proposed approach are
                 remarkably similar to the known inhibitors of RecA,
                 some new ones are discovered that may be potential

  abstract =     "Sequence-based understanding and identification of
                 protein binding interfaces is a challenging research
                 topic due to the complexity in protein systems and the
                 imbalanced distribution between interface and
                 noninterface residues. This paper presents an outlier
                 detection idea to address the redundancy problem in
                 protein interaction data. The cleaned training data are
                 then used for improving the prediction performance. We
                 use three novel measures to describe the extent a
                 residue is considered as an outlier in comparison to
                 the other residues: the distance of a residue instance
                 from the center instance of all residue instances of
                 the same class label (Dist), the probability of the
                 class label of the residue instance (PCL), and the
                 importance of within-class and between-class (IWB)
                 residue instances. Outlier scores are computed by
                 integrating the three factors; instances with a
                 sufficiently large score are treated as outliers and
                 removed. The data sets without outliers are taken as
                 input for a support vector machine (SVM) ensemble. The
                 proposed SVM ensemble trained on input data without
                 outliers performs better than that with outliers. Our
                 method is also more accurate than many literature
                 methods on benchmark data sets. From our empirical
                 studies, we found that some outlier interface residues
                 are truly near to noninterface regions, and some
                 outlier noninterface residues are close to interface
                 regions.",

                 main factor which determines its function in living
                 organisms. Due to the huge amount of newly discovered
                 proteins, there is a need for fast and accurate
                 computational methods for retrieving protein
                 structures. Their purpose is to speed up the process of
                 understanding the structure-to-function relationship
                 which is crucial in the development of new drugs. There
                 are many algorithms addressing the problem of protein
                 structure retrieval. In this paper, we present several
                 novel approaches for retrieving protein tertiary
                 structures. We present our voxel-based descriptor. Then
                 we present our protein ray-based descriptors which are
                 applied on the interpolated protein backbone. We
                 introduce five novel wavelet descriptors which perform
                 wavelet transforms on the protein distance matrix. We
                 also propose an efficient algorithm for distance matrix
                 alignment named Matrix Alignment by Sequence Alignment
                 within Sliding Window (MASASW), which has shown as much
                 faster than DALI, CE, and MatAlign. We compared our
                 approaches between themselves and with several existing
                 algorithms, and they generally prove to be fast and
                 accurate. MASASW achieves the highest accuracy. The ray

                 Consolidation, that greatly improves the performance of
                 the Lange-Goradia algorithm for genotype elimination in
                 pedigrees, while still producing equivalent output.
                 Genotype elimination consists in removing from a
                 pedigree those genotypes that are impossible according
                 to the Mendelian law of inheritance. This is used to
                 find errors in genetic data and is useful as a
                 preprocessing step in other analyses (such as linkage
                 analysis or haplotype imputation). The problem of
                 genotype elimination is intrinsically combinatorial,
                 and Allele Consolidation is an existing technique where
                 several alleles are replaced by a single ``lumped''
                 allele in order to reduce the number of combinations of
                 genotypes that have to be considered, possibly at the
                 expense of precision. In existing Allele Consolidation
                 techniques, alleles are lumped once and for all before
                 performing genotype elimination. The idea of Adaptive
                 Allele Consolidation is to dynamically change the set
                 of alleles that are lumped together during the
                 execution of the Lange-Goradia algorithm, so that both
                 high performance and precision are achieved. We have
                 implemented the technique in a tool called Celer and
                 evaluated it on a large set of scenarios, with good

                 biomedical text mining (BioTM). In this paper, we
                 propose a hash subgraph pairwise (HSP) kernel-based
                 approach for this task. The key to the novel kernel is
                 to use the hierarchical hash labels to express the

                 We apply the graph kernel to compute dependency graphs

                 interaction extraction task, which can efficiently make
                 use of full graph structural information, and
                 particularly capture the contiguous topological and

  abstract =     "This paper considers the problem of learning the
                 structure of gene regulatory networks from gene
                 expression time series data. A more realistic scenario
                 when the state space model representing a gene network
                 evolves nonlinearly is considered while a linear model
                 is assumed for the microarray data. To capture the
                 nonlinearity, a particle filter-based state estimation
                 algorithm is considered instead of the contemporary
                 linear approximation-based approaches. The parameters
                 characterizing the regulatory relations among various
                 genes are estimated online using a Kalman filter. Since
                 a particular gene interacts with a few other genes
                 only, the parameter vector is expected to be sparse.
                 The state estimates delivered by the particle filter
                 and the observed microarray data are then subjected to
                 a LASSO-based least squares regression operation which
                 yields a parsimonious and efficient description of the
                 regulatory network by setting the irrelevant
                 coefficients to zero. The performance of the
                 aforementioned algorithm is compared with the extended
                 Kalman filter (EKF) and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF)
                 employing the Mean Square Error (MSE) as the fidelity
                 criterion in recovering the parameters of gene
                 regulatory networks from synthetic data and real
                 biological data. Extensive computer simulations
                 illustrate that the proposed particle filter-based
                 network inference algorithm outperforms EKF and UKF,
                 and therefore, it can serve as a natural framework for
                 modeling gene regulatory networks with nonlinear and
                 sparse structure.",

  abstract =     "Searching tandem mass spectra against a protein
                 database has been a mainstream method for peptide
                 identification. Improving peptide identification
                 results by ranking true Peptide-Spectrum Matches (PSMs)
                 over their false counterparts leads to the development
                 of various reranking algorithms. In peptide reranking,
                 discriminative information is essential to distinguish
                 true PSMs from false PSMs. Generally, most peptide
                 reranking methods obtain discriminative information
                 directly from database search scores or by training
                 machine learning models. Information in the protein
                 database and MS1 spectra (i.e., single stage MS
                 spectra) is ignored. In this paper, we propose to use
                 information in the protein database and MS1 spectra to
                 rerank peptide identification results. To
                 quantitatively analyze their effects to peptide
                 reranking results, three peptide reranking methods are
                 proposed: PPMRanker, PPIRanker, and MIRanker. PPMRanker
                 only uses Protein-Peptide Map (PPM) information from
                 the protein database, PPIRanker only uses Precursor
                 Peak Intensity (PPI) information, and MIRanker employs
                 both PPM information and PPI information. According to
                 our experiments on a standard protein mixture data set,
                 a human data set and a mouse data set, PPMRanker and
                 MIRanker achieve better peptide reranking results than
                 PetideProphet, PeptideProphet+NSP (number of sibling
                 peptides) and a score regularization method SRPI. The

                 completing the sequence of the whole genomes, a problem
                 on filling an incomplete multichromosomal genome (or
                 scaffold) I with respect to a complete target genome
                 $G$ was studied. The objective is to minimize the
                 resulting genomic distance between $ I' $ and $G$,
                 where $ I' $ is the corresponding filled scaffold. We
                 call this problem the one-sided scaffold filling
                 problem. In this paper, we conduct a systematic study
                 for the scaffold filling problem under the breakpoint
                 distance and its variants, for both unichromosomal and
                 multichromosomal genomes (with and without gene
                 repetitions). When the input genome contains no gene
                 repetition (i.e., is a fragment of a permutation), we
                 show that the two-sided scaffold filling problem (i.e.,
                 $G$ is also incomplete) is polynomially solvable for
                 unichromosomal genomes under the breakpoint distance
                 and for multichromosomal genomes under the genomic (or
                 DCJ-Double-Cut-and-Join) distance. However, when the
                 input genome contains some repeated genes, even the
                 one-sided scaffold filling problem becomes NP-complete
                 when the similarity measure is the maximum number of
                 adjacencies between two sequences. For this problem, we
                 also present efficient constant-factor approximation
                 algorithms: factor-2 for the general case and factor
                 1.33 for the one-sided case.",

                 regulatory networks models have been proposed that are
                 capable of modeling the fine-scale dynamics of gene
                 expression. However, limitations on the type and

                 the parameter estimation of the detailed models.
                 Furthermore, the high computational complexity involved

                 constitute an inexpensive resource for
                 computing-intensive applications that could exploit an
                 intrinsic fine-grain parallelism. This paper presents

                 alignment tool for nucleotide sequences based on the

                 fundamental computational techniques in mining
                 microarray data. Due to the lack of categorized
                 information in practice, unsupervised feature selection
                 is more practically important but correspondingly more
                 difficult. Motivated by the cluster ensemble
                 techniques, which combine multiple clustering solutions
                 into a consensus solution of higher accuracy and
                 stability, recent efforts in unsupervised feature
                 selection proposed to use these consensus solutions as
                 oracles. However, these methods are dependent on both
                 the particular cluster ensemble algorithm used and the
                 knowledge of the true cluster number. These methods
                 will be unsuitable when the true cluster number is not
                 available, which is common in practice. In view of the
                 above problems, a new unsupervised feature ranking
                 method is proposed to evaluate the importance of the
                 features based on consensus affinity. Different from
                 previous works, our method compares the corresponding
                 affinity of each feature between a pair of instances
                 based on the consensus matrix of clustering solutions.
                 As a result, our method alleviates the need to know the
                 true number of clusters and the dependence on
                 particular cluster ensemble approaches as in previous
                 works. Experiments on real gene expression data sets
                 demonstrate significant improvement of the feature
                 ranking results when compared to several
                 state-of-the-art techniques.",

  abstract =     "A critical component in mass spectrometry (MS)-based
                 proteomics is an accurate protein identification
                 procedure. Database search algorithms commonly generate
                 a list of peptide-spectrum matches (PSMs). The validity
                 of these PSMs is critical for downstream analysis since
                 proteins that are present in the sample are inferred
                 from those PSMs. A variety of postprocessing algorithms
                 have been proposed to validate and filter PSMs. Among
                 them, the most popular ones include a semi-supervised
                 learning (SSL) approach known as Percolator and an
                 empirical modeling approach known as PeptideProphet.
                 However, they are predominantly designed for commercial
                 database search algorithms, i.e., SEQUEST and MASCOT.
                 Therefore, it is highly desirable to extend and
                 optimize those PSM postprocessing algorithms for open
                 source database search algorithms such as X!Tandem. In
                 this paper, we propose a Self-boosted Percolator for
                 postprocessing X!Tandem search results. We find that
                 the SSL algorithm utilized by Percolator depends
                 heavily on the initial ranking of PSMs. Starting with a
                 poor PSM ranking list may cause Percolator to perform
                 suboptimally. By implementing Percolator in a cascade
                 learning manner, we can progressively improve the
                 performance through multiple boost runs, enabling many
                 more PSM identifications without sacrificing false
                 discovery rate (FDR).",

  abstract =     "RNA-Seq is widely used in transcriptome studies, and
                 the detection of differentially expressed genes (DEGs)
                 between two classes of individuals, e.g., cases versus
                 controls, using RNA-Seq is of fundamental importance.
                 Many statistical methods for DEG detection based on
                 RNA-Seq data have been developed and most of them are
                 based on the read counts mapped to individual genes. On
                 the other hand, genes are composed of exons and the
                 distribution of reads for the different exons can be
                 heterogeneous. We hypothesize that the detection
                 accuracy of differentially expressed genes can be
                 increased by analyzing individual exons within a gene
                 and then combining the results of the exons. We
                 therefore developed a novel program, termed CEDER, to
                 accurately detect DEGs by combining the significance of
                 the exons. CEDER first tests for differentially
                 expressed exons yielding a p-value for each, and then
                 gives a score indicating the potential for a gene to be
                 differentially expressed by integrating the p-values of
                 the exons in the gene. We showed that CEDER can
                 significantly increase the accuracy of existing methods
                 for detecting DEGs on two benchmark RNA-Seq data sets

                 (NCBI) recently announced the availability of whole
                 genome sequences for more than 1,000 species. And the
                 number of sequenced individual organisms is growing.
                 Ongoing improvement of DNA sequencing technology will
                 further contribute to this, enabling large-scale
                 evolution and population genetics studies. However, the
                 availability of sequence information is only the first
                 step in understanding how cells survive, reproduce, and
                 adjust their behavior. The genetic control behind
                 organized development and adaptation of complex
                 organisms still remains widely undetermined. One major
                 molecular control mechanism is transcriptional gene
                 regulation. The direct juxtaposition of the total
                 number of sequenced species to the handful of model
                 organisms with known regulations is surprising. Here,
                 we investigate how little we even know about these
                 model organisms. We aim to predict the sizes of the
                 whole-organism regulatory networks of seven species. In
                 particular, we provide statistical lower bounds for the
                 expected number of regulations. For Escherichia coli we
                 estimate at most 37 percent of the expected gene
                 regulatory interactions to be already discovered, 24
                 percent for Bacillus subtilis, and $<$ 3\% human,
                 respectively. We conclude that even for our best
                 researched model organisms we still lack substantial
                 understanding of fundamental molecular control
                 mechanisms, at least on a large scale.",

                 sets of protein-ligand complexes efficiently is a key
                 challenge in computational biomolecular science, with
                 applications in drug discovery, chemical biology, and
                 structural biology. Since a scoring function (SF) is
                 used to score, rank, and identify drug leads, the
                 fidelity with which it predicts the affinity of a
                 ligand candidate for a protein's binding site has a
                 significant bearing on the accuracy of virtual
                 screening. Despite intense efforts in developing
                 conventional SFs, which are either force-field based,
                 knowledge-based, or empirical, their limited ranking
                 accuracy has been a major roadblock toward
                 cost-effective drug discovery. Therefore, in this work,
                 we explore a range of novel SFs employing different
                 machine-learning (ML) approaches in conjunction with a
                 variety of physicochemical and geometrical features
                 characterizing protein-ligand complexes. We assess the
                 ranking accuracies of these new ML-based SFs as well as
                 those of conventional SFs in the context of the 2007
                 and 2010 PDBbind benchmark data sets on both diverse
                 and protein-family-specific test sets. We also
                 investigate the influence of the size of the training
                 data set and the type and number of features used on
                 ranking accuracy. Within clusters of protein-ligand
                 complexes with different ligands bound to the same
                 target protein, we find that the best ML-based SF is
                 able to rank the ligands correctly based on their
                 experimentally determined binding affinities 62.5
                 percent of the time and identify the top binding ligand
                 78.1 percent of the time. For this SF, the Spearman
                 correlation coefficient between ranks of ligands
                 ordered by predicted and experimentally determined
                 binding affinities is 0.771. Given the challenging
                 nature of the ranking problem and that SFs are used to
                 screen millions of ligands, this represents a
                 significant improvement over the best conventional SF
                 we studied, for which the corresponding ranking
                 performance values are 57.8 percent, 73.4 percent, and

                 reconstruction is finding experimental designs that
                 maximize the information content in a data set. In this
                 paper, the information value of mRNA transcription time
                 course experiments was used to compare experimental
                 designs. The study concerns the dynamic response of
                 genes in the XlnR regulon of Aspergillus niger, with
                 the goal to find the best moment in time to administer
                 an extra pulse of inducing D-xylose. Low and high
                 D-xylose pulses were used to perturb the XlnR regulon.
                 Evaluation of the experimental methods was based on
                 simulation of the regulon. Models that govern the
                 regulation of the target genes in this regulon were
                 used for the simulations. Parameter sensitivity
                 analysis, the Fisher Information Matrix (FIM) and the
                 modified E-criterion were used to assess the design
                 performances. The results show that the best time to
                 give a second D-xylose pulse is when the D-xylose
                 concentration from the first pulse has not yet
                 completely faded away. Due to the presence of a
                 repression effect the strength of the second pulse must
                 be optimized, rather than maximized. The results
                 suggest that the modified E-criterion is a better
                 metric than the sum of integrals of absolute
                 sensitivity for comparing alternative designs.",

                 mechanism against the accumulation of misfolded
                 proteins due to prolonged elevated heat. The cell
                 responds to heat shock by raising the levels of heat
                 shock proteins (hsp), which are responsible for
                 chaperoning protein refolding. The synthesis ofhspis
                 highly regulated at the transcription level by specific
                 heat shock (transcription) factors (hsf). One of the
                 regulation mechanisms is the phosphorylation ofhsf's.

  abstract =     "Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBNs) can serve as succinct
                 probabilistic dynamic models of biochemical networks
                 [CHECK END OF SENTENCE]. To analyze these models, one
                 must compute the probability distribution over system
                 states at a given time point. Doing this exactly is
                 infeasible for large models; hence one must use
                 approximate algorithms. The Factored Frontier algorithm
                 (FF) is one such algorithm [CHECK END OF SENTENCE].
                 However FF as well as the earlier Boyen-Koller (BK)
                 algorithm [CHECK END OF SENTENCE] can incur large
                 errors. To address this, we present a new approximate
                 algorithm called the Hybrid Factored Frontier (HFF)
                 algorithm. At each time slice, in addition to
                 maintaining probability distributions over local
                 states-as FF does-HFF explicitly maintains the
                 probabilities of a number of global states called
                 spikes. When the number of spikes is 0, we get FF and
                 with all global states as spikes, we get the exact
                 inference algorithm. We show that by increasing the
                 number of spikes one can reduce errors while the
                 additional computational effort required is only
                 quadratic in the number of spikes. We validated the
                 performance of HFF on large DBN models of biopathways.
                 Each pathway has more than 30 species and the
                 corresponding DBN has more than 3,000 nodes.
                 Comparisons with FF and BK show that HFF is a useful
                 and powerful approximate inferencing algorithm for
                 DBNs.",

                 by developing a multilevel modeling framework. Several
                 important findings provide clear evidences of the
                 multiscale properties of bone formation and of the
                 links between RANK/RANKL and bone density in healthy
                 and disease conditions. Recent studies indicate that

                 related to bone turnover and Bone Mineral Density (BMD)

  abstract =     "One of the major aims of many microarray experiments
                 is to build discriminatory diagnosis and prognosis
                 models. A large number of supervised methods have been
                 proposed in literature for microarray-based
                 classification for this purpose. Model evaluation and
                 comparison is a critical issue and, the most of the
                 time, is based on the classification cost. This
                 classification cost is based on the costs of false
                 positives and false negative, that are generally
                 unknown in diagnostics problems. This uncertainty may
                 highly impact the evaluation and comparison of the
                 classifiers. We propose a new measure of classifier
                 performance that takes account of the uncertainty of
                 the error. We represent the available knowledge about
                 the costs by a distribution function defined on the
                 ratio of the costs. The performance of a classifier is
                 therefore computed over the set of all possible costs
                 weighted by their probability distribution. Our method
                 is tested on both artificial and real microarray data
                 sets. We show that the performance of classifiers is
                 very depending of the ratio of the classification
                 costs. In many cases, the best classifier can be
                 identified by our new measure whereas the classic error
                 measures fail.",

  abstract =     "Associating functional information with biological
                 sequences remains a challenge for machine learning
                 methods. The performance of these methods often depends
                 on deriving predictive features from the sequences
                 sought to be classified. Feature generation is a
                 difficult problem, as the connection between the
                 sequence features and the sought property is not known
                 a priori. It is often the task of domain experts or
                 exhaustive feature enumeration techniques to generate a
                 few features whose predictive power is then tested in
                 the context of classification. This paper proposes an
                 evolutionary algorithm to effectively explore a large
                 feature space and generate predictive features from
                 sequence data. The effectiveness of the algorithm is
                 demonstrated on an important component of the
                 gene-finding problem, DNA splice site prediction. This
                 application is chosen due to the complexity of the
                 features needed to obtain high classification accuracy
                 and precision. Our results test the effectiveness of
                 the obtained features in the context of classification

                 measure expression levels on a genomic scale. However,
                 the correct and efficient biological interpretation of
                 such voluminous data remains a challenging problem.
                 Many tools have been developed for the analysis of GO
                 terms that are over- or under-represented in a list of
                 differentially expressed genes. However, a previously
                 unexplored aspect is the identification of changes in
                 the way various biological processes interact in a
                 given condition with respect to a reference. Here, we
                 present a novel approach that aims at identifying such
                 interactions between biological processes that are
                 significantly different in a given phenotype with
                 respect to normal. The proposed technique uses
                 vector-space representation, SVD-based dimensionality
                 reduction, differential weighting, and bootstrapping to
                 asses the significance of the interactions under the
                 multiple and complex dependencies expected between the
                 biological processes. We illustrate our approach on two
                 real data sets involving breast and lung cancer. More
                 than 88 percent of the interactions found by our
                 approach were deemed to be correct by an extensive
                 manual review of literature. An interesting subset of
                 such interactions is discussed in detail and shown to
                 have the potential to open new avenues for research in
                 lung and breast cancer.",

  abstract =     "Although many feature selection methods for
                 classification have been developed, there is a need to
                 identify genes in high-dimensional data with censored
                 survival outcomes. Traditional methods for gene
                 selection in classification problems have several
                 drawbacks. First, the majority of the gene selection
                 approaches for classification are single-gene based.
                 Second, many of the gene selection procedures are not
                 embedded within the algorithm itself. The technique of
                 random forests has been found to perform well in
                 high-dimensional data settings with survival outcomes.
                 It also has an embedded feature to identify variables
                 of importance. Therefore, it is an ideal candidate for
                 gene selection in high-dimensional data with survival
                 outcomes. In this paper, we develop a novel method
                 based on the random forests to identify a set of
                 prognostic genes. We compare our method with several
                 machine learning methods and various node split
                 criteria using several real data sets. Our method
                 performed well in both simulations and real data
                 analysis. Additionally, we have shown the advantages of
                 our approach over single-gene-based approaches. Our
                 method incorporates multivariate correlations in
                 microarray data for survival outcomes. The described
                 method allows us to better utilize the information
                 available from microarray data with survival
                 outcomes.",

                 the functional attributes of amino acid sites on a
                 global scale in a quasi-supervised learning framework.
                 The motif vectors are constructed via wavelet
                 decomposition on the variations of physico-chemical
                 amino acid properties along the sequences. We then

                 such as Alzheimer's and cardiac disease, using only
                 genomic information is an open problem. In cases when
                 genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are able to
                 find strong associations between genomic predictors
                 (e.g., SNPs) and disease, pattern recognition methods
                 may be able to predict the disease well. Furthermore,
                 by using signal processing methods, we can capitalize
                 on latent multivariate interactions of genomic
                 predictors. Such an approach to genomic pattern
                 recognition for prediction of clinical outcomes is
                 investigated in this work. In particular, we show how
                 multiresolution transforms can be applied to genomic
                 data to extract cues of multivariate interactions and,
                 in some cases, improve on the predictive performance of
                 clinical outcomes of standard classification methods.
                 Our results show, for example, that an improvement of
                 about 6 percent increase of the area under the ROC

                 have been discovered, characterized, and made available
                 thanks to the Protein Data Bank (PDB), that is
                 nevertheless growing very quickly. New scalable methods
                 are thus urgently required to search through the PDB
                 efficiently. This paper presents an approach entitled
                 LNA (Laplacian Norm Alignment) that performs a
                 structural comparison of two proteins with dynamic
                 programming algorithms. This is achieved by
                 characterizing each residue in the protein with scalar
                 features. The feature values are calculated using a
                 Laplacian operator applied on the graph corresponding
                 to the adjacency matrix of the residues. The weighted
                 Laplacian operator we use estimates, at various scales,
                 local deformations of the topology where each residue
                 is located. On some benchmarks, which are widely shared
                 by the community, we obtain qualitatively similar
                 results compared to other competing approaches, but
                 with an algorithm one or two order of magnitudes

                 1 second with a single recent Graphical Processing Unit

  abstract =     "Reverse engineering is the problem of inferring the
                 structure of a network of interactions between
                 biological variables from a set of observations. In
                 this paper, we propose an optimization algorithm,
                 called MORE, for the reverse engineering of biological
                 networks from time series data. The model inferred by
                 MORE is a sparse system of nonlinear differential
                 equations, complex enough to realistically describe the
                 dynamics of a biological system. MORE tackles
                 separately the discrete component of the problem, the
                 determination of the biological network topology, and
                 the continuous component of the problem, the strength
                 of the interactions. This approach allows us both to
                 enforce system sparsity, by globally constraining the
                 number of edges, and to integrate a priori information
                 about the structure of the underlying interaction
                 network. Experimental results on simulated and
                 real-world networks show that the mixed
                 discrete/continuous optimization approach of MORE
                 significantly outperforms standard continuous
                 optimization and that MORE is competitive with the

                 optimization-based methods for estimating the
                 transcription factor control strengths and the
                 transcription factor activities (TFAs). The approach
                 taken in this work is to decompose the problem into a
                 network connectivity strength estimation phase and a
                 transcription factor activity estimation phase. In the
                 control strength estimation phase, we formulate a new

                 multiple error metrics. For the source estimation phase
                 we propose a total least squares (TLS) formulation that

                 procedures are noniterative and yield the optimal
                 estimates according to various proposed error metrics.

                 biological system has been proven among the most
                 informative experimental setups for the identification
                 of causal relations between the components. In this

                 Reasoning (SPQR), a novel Qualitative Reasoning
                 approach to automate the interpretation of the results
                 of systematic perturbation experiments. Our method is
                 based on a qualitative abstraction of the experimental
                 data: for each perturbation experiment, measured values
                 of the observed variables are modeled as lower, equal
                 or higher than the measurements in the wild type
                 condition, when no perturbation is applied. The
                 algorithm exploits a set of IF-THEN rules to infer
                 causal relations between the variables, analyzing the
                 patterns of propagation of the perturbation signals

  abstract =     "Identifying the binding partners of proteins is a
                 problem of fundamental importance in computational
                 biology. The PDZ is one of the most common and
                 well-studied protein binding domains, hence it is a
                 perfect model system for designing protein binding
                 predictors. The standard approach to identifying the
                 binding partners of PDZ domains uses multiple sequence
                 alignments to infer the set of contact residues that
                 are used in a predictive model. We expand on the
                 sequence alignment approach by incorporating structural
                 information to generate descriptors of the binding site
                 geometry. Furthermore, we generate a real-value score
                 for binary predictions by applying a filter based on
                 models that predict the probability distributions of
                 contact residues at each of the canonical PDZ ligand
                 binding positions. Under training cross validation, our
                 model produced an order of magnitude more predictions
                 at a false positive proportion (FPP) of 10 percent than
                 our benchmark model chosen from the literature.
                 Evaluated using an independent cross validation, with
                 computationally predicted structures, our model was
                 able to make five times as many predictions as the
                 benchmark model, with a Matthews' correlation
                 coefficient (MCC) of 0.33. In addition, our model
                 achieved a false positive proportion of 0.14, while the
                 benchmark model had a 0.25 false positive proportion.",

  abstract =     "Experimental scientific data sets, especially biology
                 data, usually contain replicated measurements. The
                 replicated measurements for the same object are
                 correlated, and this correlation must be carefully
                 dealt with in scientific analysis. In this paper, we
                 propose a robust Bayesian mixture model for clustering
                 data sets with replicated measurements. The model aims
                 not only to accurately cluster the data points taking
                 the replicated measurements into consideration, but
                 also to find the outliers (i.e., scattered objects)
                 which are possibly required to be studied further. A
                 tree-structured variational Bayes (VB) algorithm is
                 developed to carry out model fitting. Experimental
                 studies showed that our model compares favorably with
                 the infinite Gaussian mixture model, while maintaining
                 computational simplicity. We demonstrate the benefits
                 of including the replicated measurements in the model,
                 in terms of improved outlier detection rates in varying
                 measurement uncertainty conditions. Finally, we apply
                 the approach to clustering biological transcriptomics

  abstract =     "The association studies between complex diseases and
                 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or haplotypes
                 have recently received great attention. However, these
                 studies are limited by the cost of genotyping all SNPs.
                 Therefore, it is essential to find a small subset of
                 tag SNPs representing the rest of the SNPs. The
                 presence of linkage disequilibrium between tag SNPs and
                 the disease variant (genotyped or not), may allow fine
                 mapping study. In this paper, we combine a
                 nearest-means classifier (NMC) and ant colony algorithm
                 to select tags. Results show that our method (ACO/NMC)
                 can get a similar prediction accuracy with method
                 BPSO/SVM and is better than BPSO/STAMPA for small data
                 sets. For large data sets, although the prediction
                 accuracy of our method is lower than BPSO/SVM, ACO/ NMC
                 can reach a high accuracy ($ > 99 $ percent) in a
                 relatively short time. when the number of tags
                 increases, the time complexity of NMC is nearly linear
                 growth. To find out that the ability of tags to locate
                 disease locus, we simulate a case-control study and use
                 two-locus haplotype analysis to quantitatively assess
                 the power. The result showed that 20 percent of all
                 SNPs selected by NMC have about 10 percent higher power
                 than random tags, on average.",

                 Therefore, these noisy measurements need to be filtered

                 complex process may have ramifications to almost every
                 biomedical discipline. Recently, Reuveni et al.
                 proposed a new computational model of this process
                 called the ribosome flow model (RFM). In this study, we
                 show that the dynamical behavior of the RFM is
                 relatively simple. There exists a unique equilibrium
                 point $e$ and every trajectory converges to $e$.
                 Furthermore, convergence is monotone in the sense that
                 the distance to $e$ can never increase. This
                 qualitative behavior is maintained for any feasible set
                 of parameter values, suggesting that the RFM is highly
                 robust. Our analysis is based on a contraction
                 principle and the theory of monotone dynamical systems.
                 These analysis tools may prove useful in studying other

  abstract =     "Controlling regions in cortical networks, which serve
                 as key nodes to control the dynamics of networks to a
                 desired state, can be detected by minimizing the
                 eigenratio R and the maximum imaginary part $ \sigma $
                 of an extended connection matrix. Until now, optimal
                 selection of the set of controlling regions is still an
                 open problem and this paper represents the first
                 attempt to include two measures of controllability into
                 one unified framework. The detection problem of
                 controlling regions in cortical networks is converted
                 into a constrained optimization problem (COP), where
                 the objective function R is minimized and $ \sigma $ is
                 regarded as a constraint. Then, the detection of
                 controlling regions of a weighted and directed complex
                 network (e.g., a cortical network of a cat), is
                 thoroughly investigated. The controlling regions of
                 cortical networks are successfully detected by means of
                 an improved dynamic hybrid framework (IDyHF). Our
                 experiments verify that the proposed IDyHF outperforms
                 two recently developed evolutionary computation methods
                 in constrained optimization field and some traditional
                 methods in control theory as well as graph theory.
                 Based on the IDyHF, the controlling regions are
                 detected in a microscopic and macroscopic way. Our
                 results unveil the dependence of controlling regions on
                 the number of driver nodes $l$ and the constraint $r$.
                 The controlling regions are largely selected from the
                 regions with a large in-degree and a small out-degree.
                 When $ r = + \infty $, there exists a concave shape of
                 the mean degrees of the driver nodes, i.e., the regions
                 with a large degree are of great importance to the
                 control of the networks when $l$ is small and the
                 regions with a small degree are helpful to control the
                 networks when $l$ increases. When $ r = 0 $, the mean
                 degrees of the driver nodes increase as a function of
                 $l$. We find that controlling $ \sigma $ is becoming
                 more important in controlling a cortical network with
                 increasing $l$. The methods and results of detecting
                 controlling regions in this paper would promote the
                 coordination and information consensus of various kinds
                 of real-world complex networks including transportation
                 networks, genetic regulatory networks, and social
                 networks, etc.",

                 problem (MRHC) has been highly successful in providing
                 a sound combinatorial formulation for the important
                 problem of genotype phasing on pedigrees. Despite
                 several algorithmic advances that have improved the
                 efficiency, its applicability to real data sets has
                 been limited since it does not take into account some
                 important phenomena such as mutations, genotyping
                 errors, and missing data. In this work, we propose the
                 MINIMUM-RECOMBINANT HAPLOTYPE CONFIGURATION WITH
                 BOUNDED ERRORS problem (MRHCE), which extends the
                 original MRHC formulation by incorporating the two most
                 common characteristics of real data: errors and missing
                 genotypes (including untyped individuals). We describe
                 a practical algorithm for MRHCE that is based on a
                 reduction to the well-known Satisfiability problem
                 (SAT) and exploits recent advances in the constraint
                 programming literature. An experimental analysis
                 demonstrates the biological soundness of the phasing
                 model and the effectiveness (on both accuracy and
                 performance) of the algorithm under several scenarios.
                 The analysis on real data and the comparison with
                 state-of-the-art programs reveals that our approach
                 couples better scalability to large and complex
                 pedigrees with the explicit inclusion of genotyping
                 errors into the model.",

                 drugs that are designed to eradicate the hypoxic
                 fraction of solid tumors. Their activity depends upon a
                 number of biological and pharmacological factors and we
                 used a mathematical modeling approach to explore the
                 dynamics of tumor growth, infusion, and penetration of
                 the bioreductive drug Tirapazamine (TPZ). An in-silico
                 model is implemented to calculate the tumor mass
                 considering oxygen and glucose as key
                 microenvironmental parameters. The next stage of the

                 adhesion, and cell movement parameters as growth
                 constraints. The tumor microenvironments strongly
                 influenced tumor morphology and growth rates. Once the
                 growth model was established, a hybrid model was
                 developed to study drug dynamics inside the hypoxic
                 regions of tumors. The model used 10, 50 and 100 $ \mu

                 TPZ pharmacokinetic (PK) (transport) and
                 pharmacodynamics (cytotoxicity) properties inside
                 hypoxic regions of solid tumor. The model results
                 showed that diminished drug transport is a reason for
                 TPZ failure and recommend the optimization of the drug
                 transport properties in the emerging TPZ generations.
                 The modeling approach used in this study is novel and

                 essential across the animal kingdom. Experimental
                 observations suggest that the dynamical behavior of
                 many single-layered epithelial tissues has strong
                 analogies with that of specific mechanical systems,
                 namely large networks consisting of point masses
                 connected through spring-damper elements and undergoing
                 the influence of active and dissipating forces. Based
                 on this analogy, this work develops a modeling
                 framework to enable the study of the mechanical
                 properties and of the dynamic behavior of large
                 epithelial cellular networks. The model is built first
                 by creating a network topology that is extracted from
                 the actual cellular geometry as obtained from
                 experiments, then by associating a mechanical structure
                 and dynamics to the network via spring-damper elements.
                 This scalable approach enables running simulations of
                 large network dynamics: the derived modeling framework
                 in particular is predisposed to be tailored to study
                 general dynamics (for example, morphogenesis) of
                 various classes of single-layered epithelial cellular
                 networks. In this contribution, we test the model on a

                 computational method to identify structural noncoding
                 RNA (ncRNA) candidates as ncRNAs are known to be
                 conserved in secondary structures. However, the
                 complexity of the structural alignment algorithms
                 becomes higher when the structure has pseudoknots. Even
                 for the simplest type of pseudoknots (simple
                 pseudoknots), the fastest algorithm runs in $ O(m n^3)
                 $ time, where $m$, $n$ are the length of the query
                 ncRNA (with known structure) and the length of the
                 target sequence (with unknown structure), respectively.
                 In practice, we are usually given a long DNA sequence
                 and we try to locate regions in the sequence for
                 possible candidates of a particular ncRNA. Thus, we
                 need to run the structural alignment algorithm on every
                 possible region in the long sequence. For example,
                 finding candidates for a known ncRNA of length 100 on a
                 sequence of length 50,000, it takes more than one day.
                 In this paper, we provide an efficient algorithm to
                 solve the problem for simple pseudoknots and it is
                 shown to be 10 times faster. The speedup stems from an
                 effective pruning strategy consisting of the
                 computation of a lower bound score for the optimal
                 alignment and an estimation of the maximum score that a
                 candidate can achieve to decide whether to prune the
                 current candidate or not.",

                 centered around the predicates and most semantic role
                 labeling (SRL) approaches focus only on the arguments
                 of verb predicates and neglect argument taking nouns
                 which also convey information in a sentence. In this
                 article, a noun argument structure (NAS) annotated
                 corpus named BioNom and a SRL system to identify and
                 classify these structures is introduced. Also, a
                 genetic algorithm-based feature selection (GAFS) method
                 is introduced and global inference is applied to
                 significantly improve the performance of the NAS Bio

  abstract =     "Biomarker identification and cancer classification are
                 two closely related problems. In gene expression data
                 sets, the correlation between genes can be high when
                 they share the same biological pathway. Moreover, the
                 gene expression data sets may contain outliers due to
                 either chemical or electrical reasons. A good gene
                 selection method should take group effects into account
                 and be robust to outliers. In this paper, we propose a
                 Laplace naive Bayes model with mean shrinkage (LNB-MS).
                 The Laplace distribution instead of the normal
                 distribution is used as the conditional distribution of
                 the samples for the reasons that it is less sensitive
                 to outliers and has been applied in many fields. The
                 key technique is the $ L_1 $ penalty imposed on the
                 mean of each class to achieve automatic feature
                 selection. The objective function of the proposed model
                 is a piecewise linear function with respect to the mean
                 of each class, of which the optimal value can be
                 evaluated at the breakpoints simply. An efficient
                 algorithm is designed to estimate the parameters in the
                 model. A new strategy that uses the number of selected
                 features to control the regularization parameter is
                 introduced. Experimental results on simulated data sets
                 and 17 publicly available cancer data sets attest to
                 the accuracy, sparsity, efficiency, and robustness of
                 the proposed algorithm. Many biomarkers identified with
                 our method have been verified in biochemical or
                 biomedical research. The analysis of biological and
                 functional correlation of the genes based on Gene
                 Ontology (GO) terms shows that the proposed method
                 guarantees the selection of highly correlated genes
                 simultaneously.",

                 to assess and compare the performances of algorithms
                 trained from data, to be able to draw conclusions
                 unaffected by chance and are therefore significant.
                 Both the design of such experiments and the analysis of
                 the resulting data using statistical tests should be
                 done carefully for the results to carry significance.
                 In this paper, we first review the performance measures
                 used in classification, the basics of experiment design
                 and statistical tests. We then give the results of our
                 survey over 1,500 papers published in the last two
                 years in three bioinformatics journals (including this
                 one). Although the basics of experiment design are well
                 understood, such as resampling instead of using a
                 single training set and the use of different
                 performance metrics instead of error, only 21 percent
                 of the papers use any statistical test for comparison.
                 In the third part, we analyze four different scenarios
                 which we encounter frequently in the bioinformatics
                 literature, discussing the proper statistical
                 methodology as well as showing an example case study

                 that distinguish different types of DNA sequences. They
                 have the, as yet unexploited, potential to give insight
                 into biological features of the sequences. We introduce
                 several innovations to the production and use of side
                 effect machine sequence features. We compare the
                 results of using consensus sequences and genomic

                 accurate results can be obtained using genomic
                 sequences. Surprisingly, we were even able to build a
                 classifier that distinguished consensus sequences from
                 genomic sequences with high accuracy, suggesting that
                 consensus sequences are not always representative of
                 their genomic counterparts. We apply our techniques to

                 and they serve as genetic markers. They are of similar
                 length, neither codes for protein, and both have many
                 nearly identical copies throughout the genome. Being

                 requires text-mining systems that can recognize and
                 normalize interactor genes and return a ranked list of
                 PPI pairs for each article. The order of PPI pairs in
                 this list is essential for ease of curation. Most of
                 the current PPI pair ranking approaches rely on
                 association analysis between the two genes in the pair.
                 However, we propose that ranking an extracted PPI pair
                 by considering both the association between the paired
                 genes and each of those genes' global associations with
                 all other genes mentioned in the paper can provide a
                 more reliable ranked list. In this work, we present a
                 composite interaction score that considers not only the
                 association score between two interactors (pair
                 association score) but also their global association
                 scores. We test three representative data fusion
                 algorithms to estimate this global association
                 score-two Borda-Fuse models and one linear combination

                 Pair Task (IPT) in terms of area under the interpolated
                 precision/recall curve (AUC iP/R). Our experimental
                 results indicate that using LCM to estimate the global
                 association score can boost the AUC iP/R score from

  abstract =     "Reconstructing the topology of a signaling network by
                 means of RNA interference (RNAi) technology is an
                 underdetermined problem especially when a single gene
                 in the network is knocked down or observed. In
                 addition, the exponential search space limits the
                 existing methods to small signaling networks of size
                 10-15 genes. In this paper, we propose integrating RNAi
                 data with a reference physical interaction network. We
                 formulate the problem of signaling network
                 reconstruction as finding the minimum number of edit
                 operations on a given reference network. The edit
                 operations transform the reference network to a network
                 that satisfies the RNAi observations. We show that
                 using a reference network does not simplify the
                 computational complexity of the problem. Therefore, we
                 propose two methods which provide near optimal results
                 and can scale well for reconstructing networks up to
                 hundreds of components. We validate the proposed
                 methods on synthetic and real data sets. Comparison
                 with the state of the art on real signaling networks

                 forward model output with respect to a large number of
                 input parameters is considered. The methodology is
                 applied to a stochastic reaction network of competence
                 dynamics in Bacillus subtilis bacterium. In particular,
                 the dependence of the competence state on rate
                 constants of underlying reactions is investigated. We
                 base our methodology on Polynomial Chaos (PC) spectral
                 expansions that allow effective propagation of input
                 parameter uncertainties to outputs of interest. Given a
                 number of forward model training runs at sampled input
                 parameter values, the PC modes are estimated using a
                 Bayesian framework. As an outcome, these PC modes are
                 described with posterior probability distributions. The
                 resulting expansion can be regarded as an uncertain
                 response function and can further be used as a
                 computationally inexpensive surrogate instead of the
                 original reaction model for subsequent analyses such as
                 calibration or optimization studies. Furthermore, the

                 this paper, we consider a particular case of this
                 model, called the Homogeneous Ribosome Flow Model
                 (HRFM). From a biological viewpoint, this corresponds
                 to the case where the transition rates of all the
                 coding sequence codons are identical. This regime has
                 been suggested recently based on experiments in mouse
                 embryonic cells. We consider the steady-state
                 distribution of the HRFM. We provide formulas that
                 relate the different parameters of the model in steady
                 state. We prove the following properties: (1) the
                 ribosomal density profile is monotonically decreasing
                 along the coding sequence; (2) the ribosomal density at
                 each codon monotonically increases with the initiation
                 rate; and (3) for a constant initiation rate, the
                 translation rate monotonically decreases with the
                 length of the coding sequence. In addition, we analyze
                 the translation rate of the HRFM at the limit of very
                 high and very low initiation rate, and provide explicit
                 formulas for the translation rate in these two cases.
                 We discuss the relationship between these theoretical
                 results and biological findings on the translation
                 process.",

  abstract =     "We present a comprehensive review on probabilistic
                 arithmetic automata (PAAs), a general model to describe
                 chains of operations whose operands depend on chance,
                 along with two algorithms to numerically compute the
                 distribution of the results of such probabilistic
                 calculations. PAAs provide a unifying framework to
                 approach many problems arising in computational biology
                 and elsewhere. We present five different applications,
                 namely (1) pattern matching statistics on random texts,
                 including the computation of the distribution of
                 occurrence counts, waiting times, and clump sizes under
                 hidden Markov background models; (2) exact analysis of
                 window-based pattern matching algorithms; (3)
                 sensitivity of filtration seeds used to detect
                 candidate sequence alignments; (4) length and mass
                 statistics of peptide fragments resulting from
                 enzymatic cleavage reactions; and (5) read length
                 statistics of 454 and IonTorrent sequencing reads. The
                 diversity of these applications indicates the
                 flexibility and unifying character of the presented
                 framework. While the construction of a PAA depends on
                 the particular application, we single out a frequently
                 applicable construction method: We introduce
                 deterministic arithmetic automata (DAAs) to model
                 deterministic calculations on sequences, and
                 demonstrate how to construct a PAA from a given DAA and
                 a finite-memory random text model. This procedure is
                 used for all five discussed applications and greatly
                 simplifies the construction of PAAs. Implementations
                 are available as part of the MoSDi package. Its
                 application programming interface facilitates the rapid
                 development of new applications based on the PAA
                 framework.",

  abstract =     "In order to perform successful diagnosis and treatment
                 of cancer, discovering, and classifying cancer types
                 correctly is essential. One of the challenging
                 properties of class discovery from cancer data sets is
                 that cancer gene expression profiles not only include a
                 large number of genes, but also contains a lot of noisy
                 genes. In order to reduce the effect of noisy genes in
                 cancer gene expression profiles, we propose two new
                 consensus clustering frameworks, named as triple
                 spectral clustering-based consensus clustering (SC$^3$
                 ) and double spectral clustering-based consensus
                 clustering (SC$^2$Ncut) in this paper, for cancer
                 discovery from gene expression profiles. SC$^3$
                 integrates the spectral clustering (SC) algorithm
                 multiple times into the ensemble framework to process
                 gene expression profiles. Specifically, spectral
                 clustering is applied to perform clustering on the gene
                 dimension and the cancer sample dimension, and also
                 used as the consensus function to partition the
                 consensus matrix constructed from multiple clustering
                 solutions. Compared with SC$^3$, SC$^2$Ncut adopts the
                 normalized cut algorithm, instead of spectral
                 clustering, as the consensus function. Experiments on
                 both synthetic data sets and real cancer gene
                 expression profiles illustrate that the proposed
                 approaches not only achieve good performance on gene
                 expression profiles, but also outperforms most of the
                 existing approaches in the process of class discovery
                 from these profiles.",

  abstract =     "Discovering network motifs could provide a significant
                 insight into systems biology. Interestingly, many
                 biological networks have been found to have a high
                 degree of symmetry (automorphism), which is inherent in
                 biological network topologies. The symmetry due to the
                 large number of basic symmetric subgraphs (BSSs) causes
                 a certain redundant calculation in discovering network
                 motifs. Therefore, we compress all basic symmetric
                 subgraphs before extracting compressed subgraphs and
                 propose an efficient decompression algorithm to
                 decompress all compressed subgraphs without loss of any
                 information. In contrast to previous approaches, the
                 novel Symmetry Compression method for Motif Detection,
                 named as SCMD, eliminates most redundant calculations
                 caused by widespread symmetry of biological networks.
                 We use SCMD to improve three notable exact algorithms
                 and two efficient sampling algorithms. Results of all
                 exact algorithms with SCMD are the same as those of the
                 original algorithms, since SCMD is a lossless method.
                 The sampling results show that the use of SCMD almost
                 does not affect the quality of sampling results. For
                 highly symmetric networks, we find that SCMD used in
                 both exact and sampling algorithms can help get a
                 remarkable speedup. Furthermore, SCMD enables us to
                 find larger motifs in biological networks with notable
                 symmetry than previously possible.",

                 sophisticated graph-based query manipulation,
                 predominantly evident in large-scale scientific
                 applications. To access the information embedded in
                 graphs, efficient graph matching tools and algorithms
                 have become of prime importance. Although the
                 prohibitively expensive time complexity associated with
                 exact subgraph isomorphism techniques has limited its
                 efficacy in the application domain, approximate yet
                 efficient graph matching techniques have received much
                 attention due to their pragmatic applicability. Since
                 public domain databases are noisy and incomplete in
                 nature, inexact graph matching techniques have proven
                 to be more promising in terms of inferring knowledge
                 from numerous structural data repositories. In this
                 paper, we propose a novel technique called TraM for
                 approximate graph matching that off-loads a significant
                 amount of its processing on to the database making the
                 approach viable for large graphs. Moreover, the vector
                 space embedding of the graphs and efficient filtration
                 of the search space enables computation of approximate
                 graph similarity at a throw-away cost. We annotate
                 nodes of the query graphs by means of their global
                 topological properties and compare them with
                 neighborhood biased segments of the data-graph for
                 proper matches. We have conducted experiments on
                 several real data sets, and have demonstrated the

  abstract =     "An important objective of modeling biological
                 phenomena is to develop therapeutic intervention
                 strategies to move an undesirable state of a diseased
                 network toward a more desirable one. Such transitions
                 can be achieved by the use of drugs to act on some
                 genes/metabolites that affect the undesirable behavior.
                 Due to the fact that biological phenomena are complex
                 processes with nonlinear dynamics that are impossible
                 to perfectly represent with a mathematical model, the
                 need for model-free nonlinear intervention strategies
                 that are capable of guiding the target variables to
                 their desired values often arises. In many
                 applications, fuzzy systems have been found to be very
                 useful for parameter estimation, model development and
                 control design of nonlinear processes. In this paper, a
                 model-free fuzzy intervention strategy (that does not
                 require a mathematical model of the biological
                 phenomenon) is proposed to guide the target variables
                 of biological systems to their desired values. The
                 proposed fuzzy intervention strategy is applied to
                 three different biological models: a
                 glycolytic-glycogenolytic pathway model, a purine
                 metabolism pathway model, and a generic pathway model.
                 The simulation results for all models demonstrate the
                 effectiveness of the proposed scheme.",

                 graphical models-called topic models-has proven to
                 represent an useful and interpretable tool for
                 understanding and mining microarray data. In this

                 models for classification of microarray data, starting
                 from ideas proposed in other fields (e.g., computer
                 vision). A classification scheme is proposed, based on
                 highly interpretable features extracted from topic
                 models, resulting in a hybrid generative-discriminative
                 approach; an extensive experimental evaluation,
                 involving 10 different literature benchmarks, confirms

  abstract =     "Nowadays storing data derived from deep sequencing
                 experiments has become pivotal and standard compression
                 algorithms do not exploit in a satisfying manner their
                 structure. A number of reference-based compression
                 algorithms have been developed but they are less
                 adequate when approaching new species without fully
                 sequenced genomes or nongenomic data. We developed a
                 tool that takes advantages of {\tt fastq}
                 characteristics and encodes them in a binary format
                 optimized in order to be further compressed with
                 standard tools (such as {\tt gzip} or {\tt lzma}). The
                 algorithm is straightforward and does not need any
                 external reference file, it scans the {\tt fastq} only
                 once and has a constant memory requirement. Moreover,
                 we added the possibility to perform lossy compression,
                 losing some of the original information (IDs and/or
                 qualities) but resulting in smaller files; it is also
                 possible to define a quality cutoff under which
                 corresponding base calls are converted to $N$. We
                 achieve 2.82 to 7.77 compression ratios on various {\tt
                 fastq} files without losing information and 5.37 to
                 8.77 losing IDs, which are often not used in common
                 analysis pipelines. In this paper, we compare the

                 techniques have been developed for more than a decade
                 to determine the structure from a known RNA sequence.
                 Soft computing gained importance with the need to get

                 swarm optimization, ant colony optimization, and tabu
                 search is also discussed. A relative comparison among

                 for optimally aligning protein structures using the
                 dali scoring model. This scoring model is based on
                 comparing the interresidue distance matrices of
                 proteins and is used in the popular dali software tool,
                 a heuristic method for protein structure alignment. Our
                 model and algorithm extend an integer linear
                 programming approach that has been previously applied
                 for the related, but simpler, contact map overlap
                 problem. To this end, we introduce a novel type of
                 constraint that handles negative score values and relax
                 it in a Lagrangian fashion. The new algorithm, which we
                 call dalix, is applicable to any distance matrix-based
                 scoring scheme. We also review options that allow to
                 consider fewer pairs of interresidue distances
                 explicitly because their large number hinders the
                 optimization process. Using four known data sets of

                 usually computes optimal or close to optimal
                 alignments. However, we detect a subset of small

  abstract =     "Models of gene regulatory networks (GRN) have been
                 proposed along with algorithms for inferring their
                 structure. By structure, we mean the relationships
                 among the genes of the biological system under study.
                 Despite the large number of genes found in the genome
                 of an organism, it is believed that a small set of
                 genes is responsible for maintaining a specific core
                 regulatory mechanism (small subnetworks). We propose an
                 algorithm for inference of subnetworks of genes from a
                 small initial set of genes called seed and time series
                 gene expression data. The algorithm has two main steps:
                 First, it grows the seed of genes by adding genes to
                 it, and second, it searches for subnetworks that can be
                 biologically meaningful. The seed growing step is
                 treated as a feature selection problem and we used a
                 thresholded Boolean network with a perturbation model
                 to design the criterion function that is used to select
                 the features (genes). Given that the reverse
                 engineering of GRN is a problem that does not
                 necessarily have one unique solution, the proposed
                 algorithm has as output a set of networks instead of
                 one single network. The algorithm also analyzes the
                 dynamics of the networks which can be time-consuming.
                 Nevertheless, the algorithm is suitable when the number
                 of genes is small. The results showed that the
                 algorithm is capable of recovering an acceptable rate
                 of gene interactions and to generate regulatory
                 hypotheses that can be explored in the wet lab.",

                 biology to reconstruct the underlying regulatory
                 biological networks from transcriptomic data. The
                 formation of lateral roots in Arabidopsis thaliana is
                 stimulated by a cascade of regulators of which only the
                 interactions of its initial elements have been

                 for which ready-to-use software is available. We show
                 that their performance improves with the network size

                 in the sequences of proteins from a protein-protein
                 interaction network (PPI-network) that describe the
                 interactions in the network as concisely as possible.
                 In other words, a perfect solution for CMC would be a
                 minimal set of motif pairs that describes the
                 interaction behavior perfectly in the sense that two
                 proteins from the network interact if and only if their
                 sequences match a motif pair in the minimal set. In
                 this paper, we introduce and formally define CMC and
                 show that it is closely related to the red-blue set
                 cover (RBSC) problem and its weighted version

                 in multiclass sample classification by using microarray
                 data. Such techniques usually tend to bias toward a few
                 classes that are easily distinguishable from other
                 classes due to imbalances of strong features and sample
                 sizes of different classes. It could therefore lead to
                 selection of redundant genes while missing the relevant
                 genes, leading to poor classification of tissue
                 samples. In this manuscript, we propose to decompose
                 multiclass ranking statistics into class-specific
                 statistics and then use Pareto-front analysis for
                 selection of genes. This alleviates the bias induced by
                 class intrinsic characteristics of dominating classes.
                 The use of Pareto-front analysis is demonstrated on two

                 F-score and KW-score. A significant improvement in

  abstract =     "Many genome-wide association studies have been
                 conducted to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms
                 (SNPs) that are associated with particular diseases or
                 other traits. The local false discovery rate (LFDR)
                 estimated using semiparametric models has enjoyed
                 success in simultaneous inference. However,
                 semiparametric LFDR estimators can be biased because
                 they tend to overestimate the proportion of the
                 nonassociated SNPs. We address the problem by adapting
                 a simple parametric mixture model (PMM) and by
                 comparing this model to the semiparametric mixture
                 model (SMM) behind an LFDR estimator that is known to
                 be conservatively biased. Then, we also compare the PMM
                 with a parametric nonmixture model (PNM). In our
                 simulation studies, we thoroughly analyze the
                 performances of the three models under different values
                 of $ (p_1) $, a prior probability that is approximately
                 equal to the proportion of SNPs that are associated
                 with the disease. When $ (p_1 > 10 \%) $, the PMM
                 generally performs better than the SMM. When $ (p_1 <
                 0.1 \%) $, the SMM outperforms PMM. When $ (p_1) $ lies
                 between 0.1 and 10 percent, both methods have about the
                 same performance. In that setting, the PMM may be
                 preferred since it has the advantage of supplying an
                 estimate of the detectability level of the
                 nonassociated SNPs.",

  abstract =     "Interactions between molecules are probabilistic
                 events. An interaction may or may not happen with some
                 probability, depending on a variety of factors such as
                 the size, abundance, or proximity of the interacting
                 molecules. In this paper, we consider the problem of
                 aligning two biological networks. Unlike existing
                 methods, we allow one of the two networks to contain
                 probabilistic interactions. Allowing interaction
                 probabilities makes the alignment more biologically
                 relevant at the expense of explosive growth in the
                 number of alternative topologies that may arise from
                 different subsets of interactions that take place. We
                 develop a novel method that efficiently and precisely
                 characterizes this massive search space. We represent
                 the topological similarity between pairs of aligned
                 molecules (i.e., proteins) with the help of random
                 variables and compute their expected values. We
                 validate our method showing that, without sacrificing
                 the running time performance, it can produce novel
                 alignments. Our results also demonstrate that our
                 method identifies biologically meaningful mappings
                 under a comprehensive set of criteria used in the
                 literature as well as the statistical coherence measure

  abstract =     "Recently, the Single-Cut-or-Join (SCJ) operation was
                 proposed as a basis for a new rearrangement distance
                 between multichromosomal genomes, leading to very fast
                 algorithms, both in theory and in practice. However, it
                 was not clear how well this new distance fares when it
                 comes to using it to solve relevant problems, such as
                 the reconstruction of evolutionary history. In this
                 paper, we advance current knowledge, by testing SCJ's
                 ability regarding evolutionary reconstruction in two
                 aspects: (1) How well does SCJ reconstruct evolutionary
                 topologies? and (2) How well does SCJ reconstruct
                 ancestral genomes? In the process of answering these
                 questions, we implemented SCJ-based methods, and made
                 them available to the community. We ran experiments
                 using as many as 200 genomes, with as many as 3,000
                 genes. For the first question, we found out that SCJ
                 can recover typically between 60 percent and more than
                 95 percent of the topology, as measured through the
                 Robinson--Foulds distance (a.k.a. split distance)
                 between trees. In other words, 60 percent to more than
                 95 percent of the original splits are also present in
                 the reconstructed tree. For the second question, given
                 a topology, SCJ's ability to reconstruct ancestral
                 genomes depends on how far from the leaves the
                 ancestral is. For nodes close to the leaves, about 85
                 percent of the gene adjacencies can be recovered. This
                 percentage decreases as we move up the tree, but, even
                 at the root, about 50 percent of the adjacencies are
                 recovered, for as many as 64 leaves. Our findings
                 corroborate the fact that SCJ leads to very
                 conservative genome reconstructions, yielding very few
                 false-positive gene adjacencies in the ancestrals, at
                 the expense of a relatively larger amount of false
                 negatives. In addition, experiments with real data from
                 the Campanulaceae and Protostomes groups show that SCJ
                 reconstructs topologies of quality comparable to the
                 accepted trees of the species involved. As far as time
                 is concerned, the methods we implemented can find a
                 topology for 64 genomes with 2,000 genes each in about
                 10.7 minutes, and reconstruct the ancestral genomes in
                 a 64-leaf tree in about 3 seconds, both on a typical
                 desktop computer. It should be noted that our code is
                 written in Java and we made no significant effort to
                 optimize it.",

                 is proposed, which exploits both shape and
                 physicochemical complementarity to generate improved
                 docking predictions. Shape complementarity is achieved
                 by matching local surface patches. However, unlike
                 existing approaches, which are based on single-patch or
                 two-patch matching, we developed a new algorithm that
                 compares simultaneously, groups of neighboring patches
                 from the receptor with groups of neighboring patches
                 from the ligand. Taking into account the fact that
                 shape complementarity in protein surfaces is mostly
                 approximate rather than exact, the proposed group-based
                 matching algorithm fits perfectly to the nature of
                 protein surfaces. This is demonstrated by the high

                 considered. Additionally, several physicochemical

                 As a generalization of supertrees, phylogenetic
                 supernetworks allow, in addition, the visual
                 representation of conflict between the trees that is
                 not possible to observe with a single tree. Here, we
                 introduce SuperQ, a new method for constructing such
                 supernetworks (SuperQ is freely available at
                 http://www.uea.ac.uk/computing/superq). It works by
                 first breaking the input trees into quartet trees, and
                 then stitching these together to form a special kind of
                 phylogenetic network, called a split network. This

                 to identify the units in groups or clusters that have
                 the greatest degree of centrality and best characterize
                 each group. This problem frequently arises in the
                 classification of data such as types of tumor, gene
                 expression profiles or general biomedical data. It is
                 particularly important in the common context that many
                 units do not properly belong to any cluster.
                 Furthermore, in gene expression data classification,
                 good identification of the most central units in a
                 cluster enables recognition of the most important
                 samples in a particular pathological process. We
                 propose a new depth function that allows us to identify
                 central units. As our approach is based on a measure of
                 distance or dissimilarity between any pair of units, it
                 can be applied to any kind of multivariate data

                 it is very valuable in many biomedical applications,
                 which usually involve noncontinuous data, such as
                 clinical, pathological, or biological data sources. We

                 algorithmic/analytic approaches combining multiple
                 indices have been widely used to simultaneously
                 incorporate multiple sources. In this study, we propose
                 an alternative for combining multiple indices using
                 logical operations, such as ``AND,'' ``OR,'' and ``at
                 least $ (n) $'' (where $ (n) $ is an integer), to
                 construct multivariate ROC (multiV-ROC) and
                 characterize the sensitivity and specificity
                 statistically associated with the use of multiple
                 indices. With and without the ``leave-one-out''
                 cross-validation, we used two data sets from AD studies
                 to showcase the potentially increased
                 sensitivity/specificity of the multiV-ROC in comparison
                 to the single-index ROC and linear discriminant
                 analysis (an analytic way of combining multi-indices).
                 We conclude that, for the data sets we investigated,
                 the proposed multiV-ROC approach is capable of
                 providing a natural and practical alternative with
                 improved classification accuracy as compared to
                 univariate ROC and linear discriminant analysis.",

                 separate the spots into distinct areas in microarray
                 image analysis. Human intervention is necessary for
                 most gridding methods, even if some so-called fully
                 automatic approaches also need preset parameters. The
                 applicability of these methods is limited in certain
                 domains and will cause variations in the gene
                 expression results. In addition, improper gridding,
                 which is influenced by both the misalignment and high
                 noise level, will affect the high throughput analysis.
                 In this paper, we have presented a fully automatic
                 gridding technique to break through the limitation of
                 traditional mathematical morphology gridding methods.
                 First, a preprocessing algorithm was applied for noise
                 reduction. Subsequently, the optimal threshold was
                 gained by using the improved Otsu method to actually
                 locate each spot. In order to diminish the error, the
                 original gridding result was optimized according to the
                 heuristic techniques by estimating the distribution of
                 the spots. Intensive experiments on six different data
                 sets indicate that our method is superior to the
                 traditional morphology one and is robust in the
                 presence of noise. More importantly, the algorithm
                 involved in our method is simple. Furthermore, human
                 intervention and parameters presetting are unnecessary
                 when the algorithm is applied in different types of
                 microarray images.",

                 approaches. Here, we present a mathematical formalism
                 based on set algebra for frequently performed

                 DS-related operations such as preprocessing, filtering,
                 file conversion, and sample comparison. GROK provides
                 high-level interfaces for R, Python, Lua, and command

                 genomic hybridization (aCGH). Although many methods
                 have been proposed to analyze aCGH data, it is not
                 clear how to combine information from multiple samples
                 to improve CNV detection. In this paper, we propose to
                 use a matrix to approximate the multisample aCGH data
                 and minimize the total variation of each sample as well
                 as the nuclear norm of the whole matrix. In this way,
                 we can make use of the smoothness property of each
                 sample and the correlation among multiple samples
                 simultaneously in a convex optimization framework. We
                 also developed an efficient and scalable algorithm to
                 handle large-scale data. Experiments demonstrate that
                 the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art
                 techniques under a wide range of scenarios and it is
                 capable of processing large data sets with millions of
                 probes.",

  abstract =     "Noncoding RNA (ncRNA) identification is highly
                 important to modern biology. The state-of-the-art
                 method for ncRNA identification is based on comparative
                 genomics, in which evolutionary conservations of
                 sequences and secondary structures provide important
                 evidence for ncRNA search. For ncRNAs with low sequence
                 conservation but high structural similarity,
                 conventional local alignment tools such as BLAST yield
                 low sensitivity. Thus, there is a need for ncRNA search
                 methods that can incorporate both sequence and
                 structural similarities. We introduce chain-RNA, a
                 pairwise structural alignment tool that can effectively
                 locate cross-species conserved RNA elements with low
                 sequence similarity. In chain-RNA, stem-loop structures
                 are extracted from dot plots generated by an efficient
                 local-folding algorithm. Then, we formulate stem
                 alignment as an extended 2D chain problem and employ
                 existing chain algorithms. Chain-RNA is tested on a
                 data set containing annotated ncRNA homologs and is
                 applied to novel ncRNA search in a transcriptomic data
                 set. The experimental results show that chain-RNA has
                 better tradeoff between sensitivity and false positive
                 rate in ncRNA prediction than conventional sequence
                 similarity search tools and is more time efficient than
                 structural alignment tools. The source codes of
                 chain-RNA can be downloaded at

  abstract =     "Gene expression data clustering is one of the
                 important tasks of functional genomics as it provides a
                 powerful tool for studying functional relationships of
                 genes in a biological process. Identifying coexpressed
                 groups of genes represents the basic challenge in gene
                 clustering problem. In this regard, a gene clustering
                 algorithm, termed as robust rough-fuzzy $ (c) $-means,
                 is proposed judiciously integrating the merits of rough
                 sets and fuzzy sets. While the concept of lower and
                 upper approximations of rough sets deals with
                 uncertainty, vagueness, and incompleteness in cluster
                 definition, the integration of probabilistic and
                 possibilistic memberships of fuzzy sets enables
                 efficient handling of overlapping partitions in noisy
                 environment. The concept of possibilistic lower bound
                 and probabilistic boundary of a cluster, introduced in
                 robust rough-fuzzy $ (c) $-means, enables efficient
                 selection of gene clusters. An efficient method is
                 proposed to select initial prototypes of different gene
                 clusters, which enables the proposed $ (c) $-means
                 algorithm to converge to an optimum or near optimum
                 solutions and helps to discover coexpressed gene
                 clusters. The effectiveness of the algorithm, along
                 with a comparison with other algorithms, is
                 demonstrated both qualitatively and quantitatively on
                 14 yeast microarray data sets.",

  abstract =     "Eukaryotic gene transcription is a complex process,
                 which requires the orchestrated recruitment of a large
                 number of proteins, such as sequence-specific DNA
                 binding factors, chromatin remodelers and modifiers,
                 and general transcription machinery, to regulatory
                 regions. Previous works have shown that these
                 regulatory proteins favor specific organizational theme
                 along promoters. Details about how they cooperatively
                 regulate transcriptional process, however, remain
                 unclear. We developed a method to reconstruct a
                 Bayesian network (BN) model representing functional
                 relationships among various transcriptional components.
                 The positive/negative influence between these
                 components was measured from protein binding and
                 nucleosome occupancy data and embedded into the model.
                 Application on S.cerevisiae ChIP-Chip data showed that
                 the proposed method can recover confirmed
                 relationships, such as Isw1-Pol II, TFIIH-Pol II,
                 TFIIB-TBP, Pol II-H3K36Me3, H3K4Me3-H3K14Ac, etc.
                 Moreover, it can distinguish colocating components from
                 functionally related ones. Novel relationships, e.g.,
                 ones between Mediator and chromatin remodeling
                 complexes (CRCs), and the combinatorial regulation of
                 Pol II recruitment and activity by CRCs and general
                 transcription factors (GTFs), were also suggested.
                 Conclusion: protein binding events during transcription
                 positively influence each other. Among contributing
                 components, GTFs and CRCs play pivotal roles in
                 transcriptional regulation. These findings provide
                 insights into the regulatory mechanism.",

                 that assigns mass values to a set of nodes, and its $
                 ({\bf next}) $ operator propagates mass values through
                 this set of nodes. We propose an approximate
                 implementation of the $ ({\bf next}) $ operator, based
                 on threshold abstraction, which propagates only
                 ``significant'' mass values and thus achieves a
                 compromise between efficiency and accuracy. Finally, we
                 give three use cases for propagation models: the
                 chemical master equation (CME), the reaction rate
                 equation (RRE), and a hybrid method that combines these
                 two equations. These three applications use propagation
                 models in order to propagate probabilities and/or
                 expected values and variances of the model's
                 variables.",

  abstract =     "We present the Spiral Classification Algorithm (SCA),
                 a fast and accurate algorithm for classifying
                 electrical spiral waves and their associated breakup in
                 cardiac tissues. The classification performed by SCA is
                 an essential component of the detection and analysis of
                 various cardiac arrhythmic disorders, including
                 ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. Given a
                 digitized frame of a propagating wave, SCA constructs a
                 highly accurate representation of the front and the
                 back of the wave, piecewise interpolates this
                 representation with cubic splines, and subjects the
                 result to an accurate curvature analysis. This analysis
                 is more comprehensive than methods based on spiral-tip
                 tracking, as it considers the entire wave front and
                 back. To increase the smoothness of the resulting
                 symbolic representation, the SCA uses weighted
                 overlapping of adjacent segments which increases the
                 smoothness at join points. SCA has been applied to a
                 number of representative types of spiral waves, and,
                 for each type, a distinct curvature evolution in time
                 (signature) has been identified. Distinct signatures
                 have also been identified for spiral breakup. These
                 results represent a significant first step in
                 automatically determining parameter ranges for which a
                 computational cardiac-cell network accurately
                 reproduces a particular kind of cardiac arrhythmia,

  abstract =     "Genetic association is a challenging task for the
                 identification and characterization of genes that
                 increase the susceptibility to common complex
                 multifactorial diseases. To fully execute genetic
                 studies of complex diseases, modern geneticists face
                 the challenge of detecting interactions between loci. A
                 genetic algorithm (GA) is developed to detect the
                 association of genotype frequencies of cancer cases and
                 noncancer cases based on statistical analysis. An
                 improved genetic algorithm (IGA) is proposed to improve
                 the reliability of the GA method for high-dimensional
                 SNP-SNP interactions. The strategy offers the top five
                 results to the random population process, in which they
                 guide the GA toward a significant search course. The
                 IGA increases the likelihood of quickly detecting the
                 maximum ratio difference between cancer cases and
                 noncancer cases. The study systematically evaluates the
                 joint effect of 23 SNP combinations of six steroid
                 hormone metabolisms, and signaling-related genes
                 involved in breast carcinogenesis pathways were
                 systematically evaluated, with IGA successfully
                 detecting significant ratio differences between breast
                 cancer cases and noncancer cases. The possible breast
                 cancer risks were subsequently analyzed by odds-ratio
                 (OR) and risk-ratio analysis. The estimated OR of the
                 best SNP barcode is significantly higher than 1
                 (between 1.15 and 7.01) for specific combinations of
                 two to 13 SNPs. Analysis results support that the IGA
                 provides higher ratio difference values than the GA
                 between breast cancer cases and noncancer cases over
                 3-SNP to 13-SNP interactions. A more specific SNP-SNP

                 with the development of new DNA sequencing
                 technologies, which presents great challenges for
                 computational biology problems such as haplotype
                 phasing. Although arduous efforts have been made to
                 address this problem, the current methods still cannot
                 efficiently deal with the incoming flood of large-scale
                 data. In this paper, we propose a flow network model to
                 tackle haplotype phasing problem, and explain some
                 classical haplotype phasing rules based on this model.
                 By incorporating the heuristic knowledge obtained from
                 these classical rules, we design an algorithm FNphasing
                 based on the flow network model. Theoretically, the
                 time complexity of our algorithm is {$ (O(n^2 m + m^2))
                 $}, which is better than that of 2SNP, one of the most
                 efficient algorithms currently. After testing the
                 performance of FNphasing with several simulated data
                 sets, the experimental results show that when applied
                 on large-scale data sets, our algorithm is
                 significantly faster than the state-of-the-art Beagle

                 data is only partially explored due to the limited
                 number of samples in individual studies. This
                 limitation can be surmounted by merging or integrating
                 data sets originating from independent MAGE
                 experiments, which are designed to study the same
                 biological problem. However, this process is hindered
                 by batch effects that are study-dependent and result in
                 random data distortion; therefore numerical
                 transformations are needed to render the integration of
                 different data sets accurate and meaningful. Our
                 contribution in this paper is two-fold. First we
                 propose GENESHIFT, a new nonparametric batch effect
                 removal method based on two key elements from
                 statistics: empirical density estimation and the inner
                 product as a distance measure between two probability
                 density functions; second we introduce a new validation
                 index of batch effect removal methods based on the
                 observation that samples from two independent studies
                 drawn from a same population should exhibit similar
                 probability density functions. We evaluated and
                 compared the GENESHIFT method with four other
                 state-of-the-art methods for batch effect removal:
                 Batch-mean centering, empirical Bayes or COMBAT,
                 distance-weighted discrimination, and cross-platform
                 normalization. Several validation indices providing
                 complementary information about the efficiency of batch
                 effect removal methods have been employed in our
                 validation framework. The results show that none of the
                 methods clearly outperforms the others. More than that,
                 most of the methods used for comparison perform very
                 well with respect to some validation indices while
                 performing very poor with respect to others. GENESHIFT
                 exhibits robust performances and its average rank is
                 the highest among the average ranks of all methods used
                 for comparison.",

  abstract =     "Clustering validation indexes are intended to assess
                 the goodness of clustering results. Many methods used
                 to estimate the number of clusters rely on a validation
                 index as a key element to find the correct answer. This
                 paper presents a new validation index based on graph
                 concepts, which has been designed to find arbitrary
                 shaped clusters by exploiting the spatial layout of the
                 patterns and their clustering label. This new
                 clustering index is combined with a solid statistical
                 detection framework, the gap statistic. The resulting
                 method is able to find the right number of
                 arbitrary-shaped clusters in diverse situations, as we
                 show with examples where this information is available.
                 A comparison with several relevant validation methods
                 is carried out using artificial and gene expression
                 data sets. The results are very encouraging, showing
                 that the underlying structure in the data can be more
                 accurately detected with the new clustering index. Our
                 gene expression data results also indicate that this
                 new index is stable under perturbation of the input

                 that plays an important role in gene expression through
                 the post-transcriptional gene regulation pathways.
                 There are many literature works focusing on predicting
                 miRNA targets and exploring gene regulatory networks of
                 miRNA families. We suggest, however, the study to
                 identify the interaction between miRNAs is
                 insufficient. This paper presents a framework to
                 identify relationships between miRNAs using joint
                 entropy, to investigate the regulatory features of
                 miRNAs. Both the sequence and secondary structure are
                 taken into consideration to make our method more
                 relevant from the biological viewpoint. Further, joint
                 entropy is applied to identify correlated miRNAs, which
                 are more desirable from the perspective of the gene
                 regulatory network. A data set including {\em

                 quasi-bicliques from weighted viral-host
                 protein-protein interaction network as a biclustering
                 problem for identifying strong interaction modules. In
                 this regard, a multiobjective genetic algorithm-based
                 biclustering technique is proposed that simultaneously
                 optimizes three objective functions to obtain dense
                 biclusters having high mean interaction strengths. The
                 performance of the proposed technique has been compared
                 with that of other existing biclustering methods on an
                 artificial data. Subsequently, the proposed

                 between a set of HIV-1 proteins and a set of human
                 proteins to identify strong interaction modules. For
                 this, the entire interaction information is realized as
                 a bipartite graph. We have further investigated the

                 module have been found to share common biological
                 properties and they are identified as the gateways of

  abstract =     "Prediction of protein subcellular localization is an
                 important but challenging problem, particularly when
                 proteins may simultaneously exist at, or move between,
                 two or more different subcellular location sites. Most
                 of the existing protein subcellular localization
                 methods are only used to deal with the single-location
                 proteins. In the past few years, only a few methods
                 have been proposed to tackle proteins with multiple
                 locations. However, they only adopt a simple strategy,
                 that is, transforming the multilocation proteins to
                 multiple proteins with single location, which does not
                 take correlations among different subcellular locations
                 into account. In this paper, a novel method named
                 random label selection (RALS) (multilabel learning via
                 RALS), which extends the simple binary relevance (BR)
                 method, is proposed to learn from multilocation
                 proteins in an effective and efficient way. RALS does
                 not explicitly find the correlations among labels, but
                 rather implicitly attempts to learn the label
                 correlations from data by augmenting original feature
                 space with randomly selected labels as its additional
                 input features. Through the fivefold cross-validation
                 test on a benchmark data set, we demonstrate our
                 proposed method with consideration of label
                 correlations obviously outperforms the baseline BR
                 method without consideration of label correlations,
                 indicating correlations among different subcellular
                 locations really exist and contribute to improvement of
                 prediction performance. Experimental results on two
                 benchmark data sets also show that our proposed methods
                 achieve significantly higher performance than some
                 other state-of-the-art methods in predicting
                 subcellular multilocations of proteins. The prediction

                 especially since chronic diseases are quite prevalent
                 in the elderly population. These may be the result of

                 of gene regulatory networks by using their
                 corresponding microarray data in the aging process.
                 Then, we find that an aging-related gene network is
                 more robust to intrinsic perturbations in the elderly
                 than the young, and therefore is less responsive to
                 external stimuli. Finally, we find that the response
                 abilities of individual genes, especially FOXOs,
                 NF-{\^I}${}^o$B, and p53, are significantly different
                 in the young versus the aged subjects. These
                 observations are consistent with experimental findings
                 in the aged population, e.g., elevated incidence of
                 tumorigenesis and diminished resistance to oxidative
                 stress. The proposed method can also be used for
                 exploring and analyzing the dynamic properties of other
                 biological processes via corresponding microarray data
                 to provide useful information on clinical strategy and
                 drug target selection.",

                 commonly employed tool when investigating a protein.
                 Many profile-profile scoring functions have been
                 developed for use in such alignments, but there has not
                 yet been a comprehensive study of Pareto optimal
                 pairwise alignments for combining multiple such
                 functions. We show that the problem of generating
                 Pareto optimal pairwise alignments has an optimal
                 substructure property, and develop an efficient
                 algorithm for generating Pareto optimal frontiers of
                 pairwise alignments. All possible sets of two, three,
                 and four profile scoring functions are used from a pool
                 of 11 functions and applied to 588 pairs of proteins in
                 the ce\_ref data set. The performance of the best
                 objective combinations on ce\_ref is also evaluated on
                 an independent set of 913 protein pairs extracted from
                 the BAliBASE RV11 data set. Our
                 dynamic-programming-based heuristic approach produces
                 approximated Pareto optimal frontiers of pairwise
                 alignments that contain comparable alignments to those
                 on the exact frontier, but on average in less than
                 1/58th the time in the case of four objectives. Our
                 results show that the Pareto frontiers contain
                 alignments whose quality is better than the alignments
                 obtained by single objectives. However, the task of
                 identifying a single high-quality alignment among those
                 in the Pareto frontier remains challenging.",

  abstract =     "A Bayesian alignment model (BAM) is proposed for
                 alignment of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry
                 (LC-MS) data. BAM belongs to the category of
                 profile-based approaches, which are composed of two
                 major components: a prototype function and a set of
                 mapping functions. Appropriate estimation of these
                 functions is crucial for good alignment results. BAM
                 uses Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods to draw
                 inference on the model parameters and improves on
                 existing MCMC-based alignment methods through (1) the
                 implementation of an efficient MCMC sampler and (2) an
                 adaptive selection of knots. A block
                 Metropolis--Hastings algorithm that mitigates the
                 problem of the MCMC sampler getting stuck at local
                 modes of the posterior distribution is used for the
                 update of the mapping function coefficients. In
                 addition, a stochastic search variable selection (SSVS)
                 methodology is used to determine the number and
                 positions of knots. We applied BAM to a simulated data
                 set, an LC-MS proteomic data set, and two LC-MS
                 metabolomic data sets, and compared its performance
                 with the Bayesian hierarchical curve registration
                 (BHCR) model, the dynamic time-warping (DTW) model, and
                 the continuous profile model (CPM). The advantage of
                 applying appropriate profile-based retention time
                 correction prior to performing a feature-based approach
                 is also demonstrated through the metabolomic data
                 sets.",

                 issue in the discovering the mechanism of the life
                 process. In this paper, we proposed a novel method to

                 Based on the functional annotations of proteins, we

                 phylogenetics for comparing evolutionary trees.
                 Unrooted trees can be compared with rooted trees by
                 identifying all rootings of the unrooted tree that
                 minimize some provided comparison function between two
                 rooted trees. The plateau property is satisfied by the
                 provided function, if all optimal rootings form a
                 subtree, or plateau, in the unrooted tree, from which
                 the rootings along every path toward a leaf have
                 monotonically increasing costs. This property is
                 sufficient for the linear-time identification of all
                 optimal rootings and rooting costs. However, the
                 plateau property has only been proven for a few rooted
                 comparison functions, requiring individual proofs for
                 each function without benefitting from inherent
                 structural features of such functions. Here, we
                 introduce the consistency condition that is sufficient
                 for a general function to satisfy the plateau property.
                 For consistent functions, we introduce general
                 linear-time solutions that identify optimal rootings
                 and all rooting costs. Further, we identify novel
                 relationships between consistent functions in terms of
                 plateaus, especially the plateau of the well-studied
                 duplication-loss function is part of a plateau of every
                 other consistent function. We introduce a novel
                 approach for identifying consistent cost functions by
                 defining a formal language of Boolean costs. Formulas
                 in this language can be interpreted as cost functions.
                 Finally, we demonstrate the performance of our general
                 linear-time solutions in practice using empirical and

  abstract =     "Recent advances in high-throughput technologies for
                 biological data acquisition have spurred a broad
                 interest in the construction of mathematical models for
                 biological phenomena. The development of such
                 mathematical models relies on the estimation of unknown
                 parameters of the system using the time-course profiles
                 of different metabolites in the system. One of the main
                 challenges in the parameter estimation of biological
                 phenomena is the fact that the number of unknown
                 parameters is much more than the number of metabolites
                 in the system. Moreover, the available metabolite
                 measurements are corrupted by noise. In this paper, a
                 new parameter estimation algorithm is developed based
                 on the stochastic estimation framework for nonlinear
                 systems, namely the unscented Kalman filter (UKF). A
                 new iterative UKF algorithm with covariance resetting
                 is developed in which the UKF algorithm is applied
                 iteratively to the available noisy time profiles of the
                 metabolites. The proposed estimation algorithm is
                 applied to noisy time-course data synthetically
                 produced from a generic branched pathway as well as
                 real time-course profile for the Cad system of E. coli.

                 the proposed scheme.",

  abstract =     "Colon cancer causes deaths of about half a million
                 people every year. Common method of its detection is
                 histopathological tissue analysis, which, though leads
                 to vital diagnosis, is significantly correlated to the
                 tiredness, experience, and workload of the pathologist.
                 Researchers have been working since decades to get rid
                 of manual inspection, and to develop trustworthy
                 systems for detecting colon cancer. Several techniques,
                 based on spectral/spatial analysis of colon biopsy
                 images, and serum and gene analysis of colon samples,
                 have been proposed in this regard. Due to rapid
                 evolution of colon cancer detection techniques, a
                 latest review of recent research in this field is
                 highly desirable. The aim of this paper is to discuss
                 various colon cancer detection techniques. In this
                 survey, we categorize the techniques on the basis of
                 the adopted methodology and underlying data set, and
                 provide detailed description of techniques in each
                 category. Additionally, this study provides an
                 extensive comparison of various colon cancer detection
                 categories, and of multiple techniques within each
                 category. Further, most of the techniques have been
                 evaluated on similar data set to provide a fair
                 performance comparison. Analysis reveals that neither
                 of the techniques is perfect; however, research
                 community is progressively inching toward the finest
                 possible solution.",

                 protein reveals important information about its overall
                 folding type and its domain. It can also be directly
                 used to provide critical information on general
                 tertiary structure of a protein which has a profound
                 impact on protein function determination and drug
                 design. Despite tremendous enhancements made by pattern
                 recognition-based approaches to solve this problem, it
                 still remains as an unsolved issue for bioinformatics
                 that demands more attention and exploration. In this
                 study, we propose a novel feature extraction model that
                 incorporates physicochemical and evolutionary-based
                 information simultaneously. We also propose overlapped
                 segmented distribution and autocorrelation-based
                 feature extraction methods to provide more local and
                 global discriminatory information. The proposed feature
                 extraction methods are explored for 15 most promising
                 attributes that are selected from a wide range of
                 physicochemical-based attributes. Finally, by applying
                 an ensemble of different classifiers namely,
                 Adaboost.M1, LogitBoost, naive Bayes, multilayer

                 reconstruct an accurate phylogenetic tree from an
                 estimated matrix of pairwise distances between taxa.
                 This paper examines two distance-based algorithms
                 (GreedyBME and FastME) that are based on the principle
                 of minimizing the balanced minimum evolution score of
                 the output tree in relation to the given estimated
                 distance matrix. This is also the principle that
                 underlies the neighbor-joining (NJ) algorithm. We show
                 that GreedyBME and FastME both reconstruct the entire
                 correct tree if the input data are quartet consistent,
                 and also that if the maximum error of any distance
                 estimate is $ (\epsilon) $, then both algorithms output
                 trees containing all sufficiently long edges of the
                 true tree: those having length at least $ (3 \epsilon)
                 $. That is to say, the algorithms have edge safety
                 radius 1/3. In contrast, quartet consistency of the
                 data is not sufficient to guarantee the NJ algorithm
                 reconstructs the correct tree, and moreover, the NJ
                 algorithm has edge safety radius of 1/4: Only edges of
                 the true tree of length at least $ (4 \epsilon) $ can
                 be guaranteed to appear in the output. These results
                 give further theoretical support to the experimental
                 evidence suggesting FastME is a more suitable
                 distance-based phylogeny reconstruction method than the
                 NJ algorithm.",

                 desirable to allow more than two levels of expression
                 for the nodes and to allow the introduction of
                 parameters. Various modeling and simulation methods
                 addressing these needs using Boolean models, both
                 synchronous and asynchronous, have been proposed in the
                 literature. However, analytical study of these more
                 general Boolean networks models is lagging. This paper
                 aims to develop a concise theory for these different
                 Boolean logic-based modeling methods. Boolean models
                 for networks where each node can have more than two
                 levels of expression and Boolean models with parameters
                 are defined algebraically with examples provided.
                 Certain classes of random asynchronous Boolean networks
                 and deterministic moduli asynchronous Boolean networks
                 are investigated in detail using the setting introduced

                 grown exponentially. To apply them for extensive
                 studies, integrated analysis of cross-laboratory
                 (cross-lab) data becomes a trend, and thus, choosing an
                 appropriate feature selection method is an essential
                 issue. This paper focuses on feature selection for
                 Affymetrix (Affy) microarray studies across different
                 labs. We investigate four feature selection methods: $
                 (t) $-test, significance analysis of microarrays (SAM),
                 rank products (RP), and random forest (RF). The four
                 methods are applied to acute lymphoblastic leukemia,
                 acute myeloid leukemia, breast cancer, and lung cancer
                 Affy data which consist of three cross-lab data sets
                 each. We utilize a rank-based normalization method to
                 reduce the bias from cross-lab data sets. Training on
                 one data set or two combined data sets to test the
                 remaining data set(s) are both considered. Balanced
                 accuracy is used for prediction evaluation. This study
                 provides comprehensive comparisons of the four feature
                 selection methods in cross-lab microarray analysis.
                 Results show that SAM has the best classification
                 performance. RF also gets high classification accuracy,
                 but it is not as stable as SAM. The most naive method
                 is $ (t) $-test, but its performance is the worst among
                 the four methods. In this study, we further discuss the
                 influence from the number of training samples, the
                 number of selected genes, and the issue of unbalanced
                 data sets.",

                 application building interface for computational
                 biology research, called VizBuilder, by leveraging a
                 recent query language called BioFlow for life sciences
                 databases. Using VizBuilder, it is now possible to
                 develop ad hoc complex computational biology
                 applications at throw away costs. The underlying query
                 language supports data integration and workflow
                 construction almost transparently and fully
                 automatically, using a best effort approach. Users
                 express their application by drawing it with VizBuilder
                 icons and connecting them in a meaningful way.
                 Completed applications are compiled and translated as
                 BioFlow queries for execution by the data management

  abstract =     "Active learning is a supervised learning technique
                 that reduces the number of examples required for
                 building a successful classifier, because it can choose
                 the data it learns from. This technique holds promise
                 for many biological domains in which classified
                 examples are expensive and time-consuming to obtain.
                 Most traditional active learning methods ask very
                 specific queries to the Oracle (e.g., a human expert)
                 to label an unlabeled example. The example may consist
                 of numerous features, many of which are irrelevant.
                 Removing such features will create a shorter query with
                 only relevant features, and it will be easier for the
                 Oracle to answer. We propose a generalized query-based
                 active learning (GQAL) approach that constructs
                 generalized queries based on multiple instances. By
                 constructing appropriately generalized queries, we can
                 achieve higher accuracy compared to traditional active
                 learning methods. We apply our active learning method
                 to find differentially DNA methylated regions (DMRs).
                 DMRs are DNA locations in the genome that are known to
                 be involved in tissue differentiation, epigenetic
                 regulation, and disease. We also apply our method on 13
                 other data sets and show that our method is better than
                 another popular active learning technique.",

                 files describing genomic features and their
                 subcomponents by an implicit annotation graph. In this
                 paper, we present the GenomeTools, a convenient and
                 efficient software library and associated software
                 tools for developing bioinformatics software intended
                 to create, process or convert annotation graphs. The
                 GenomeTools strictly follow the annotation graph
                 approach, offering a unified graph-based
                 representation. This gives the developer intuitive and
                 immediate access to genomic features and tools for
                 their manipulation. To process large annotation sets
                 with low memory overhead, we have designed and
                 implemented an efficient pull-based approach for
                 sequential processing of annotations. This allows to
                 handle even the largest annotation sets, such as a
                 complete catalogue of human variations. Our
                 object-oriented C-based software library enables a
                 developer to conveniently implement their own
                 functionality on annotation graphs and to integrate it
                 into larger workflows, simultaneously accessing
                 compressed sequence data if required. The careful C
                 implementation of the GenomeTools does not only ensure
                 a light-weight memory footprint while allowing full
                 sequential as well as random access to the annotation
                 graph, but also facilitates the creation of bindings to
                 a variety of script programming languages (like Python
                 and Ruby) sharing the same interface.",

  abstract =     "Cancer class discovery using biomolecular data is one
                 of the most important tasks for cancer diagnosis and
                 treatment. Tumor clustering from gene expression data
                 provides a new way to perform cancer class discovery.
                 Most of the existing research works adopt
                 single-clustering algorithms to perform tumor
                 clustering is from biomolecular data that lack
                 robustness, stability, and accuracy. To further improve
                 the performance of tumor clustering from biomolecular
                 data, we introduce the fuzzy theory into the cluster
                 ensemble framework for tumor clustering from
                 biomolecular data, and propose four kinds of hybrid
                 fuzzy cluster ensemble frameworks (HFCEF), named as
                 HFCEF-I, HFCEF-II, HFCEF-III, and HFCEF-IV,
                 respectively, to identify samples that belong to
                 different types of cancers. The difference between
                 HFCEF-I and HFCEF-II is that they adopt different
                 ensemble generator approaches to generate a set of
                 fuzzy matrices in the ensemble. Specifically, HFCEF-I
                 applies the affinity propagation algorithm (AP) to
                 perform clustering on the sample dimension and
                 generates a set of fuzzy matrices in the ensemble based
                 on the fuzzy membership function and base samples
                 selected by AP. HFCEF-II adopts AP to perform
                 clustering on the attribute dimension, generates a set
                 of subspaces, and obtains a set of fuzzy matrices in
                 the ensemble by performing fuzzy c-means on subspaces.
                 Compared with HFCEF-I and HFCEF-II, HFCEF-III and
                 HFCEF-IV consider the characteristics of HFCEF-I and
                 HFCEF-II. HFCEF-III combines HFCEF-I and HFCEF-II in a
                 serial way, while HFCEF-IV integrates HFCEF-I and
                 HFCEF-II in a concurrent way. HFCEFs adopt suitable
                 consensus functions, such as the fuzzy c-means
                 algorithm or the normalized cut algorithm (Ncut), to
                 summarize generated fuzzy matrices, and obtain the
                 final results. The experiments on real data sets from
                 UCI machine learning repository and cancer gene
                 expression profiles illustrate that (1) the proposed
                 hybrid fuzzy cluster ensemble frameworks work well on
                 real data sets, especially biomolecular data, and (2)
                 the proposed approaches are able to provide more
                 robust, stable, and accurate results when compared with
                 the state-of-the-art single clustering algorithms and
                 traditional cluster ensemble approaches.",

                 are dynamic processes and hence modeling these

  abstract =     "Currently, there are lots of methods to select
                 informative SNPs for haplotype reconstruction. However,
                 there are still some challenges that render them
                 ineffective for large data sets. First, some
                 traditional methods belong to wrappers which are of
                 high computational complexity. Second, some methods
                 ignore linkage disequilibrium that it is hard to
                 interpret selection results. In this study, we
                 innovatively derive optimization criteria by combining
                 two-locus and multilocus LD measure to obtain the
                 criteria of Max-Correlation and Min-Redundancy (MCMR).
                 Then, we use a greedy algorithm to select the candidate
                 set of informative SNPs constrained by the criteria.
                 Finally, we use backward scheme to refine the candidate
                 subset. We separately use small and middle ($ > 1, 000
                 $ SNPs) data sets to evaluate MCMR in terms of the
                 reconstuction accuracy, the time complexity, and the
                 compactness. Additionally, to demonstrate that MCMR is
                 practical for large data sets, we design a parameter $
                 (w) $ to adapt to various platforms and introduce
                 another replacement scheme for larger data sets, which
                 sharply narrow down the computational complexity of
                 evaluating the reconstruct ratio. Then, we first apply
                 our method based on haplotype reconstruction for large
                 size ($ > 5, 000 $ SNPs) data sets. The results confirm
                 that MCMR leads to promising improvement in informative
                 SNPs selection and prediction accuracy.",

                 transcription factor (TF) and transcription factor
                 binding site (TFBS) bindings, is crucial in deciphering
                 gene regulation. The recent associated TF-TFBS pattern
                 discovery combines one-sided motif discovery on both
                 the TF and the TFBS sides. Using sequences only, it
                 identifies the short protein-DNA binding cores
                 available only in high-resolution 3D structures. The
                 discovered patterns lead to promising subtype and
                 disease analysis applications. While the related
                 studies use either association rule mining or existing
                 TFBS annotations, none has proposed any formal unified
                 (both-sided) model to prioritize the top verifiable

                 considerably better than the previous works, where up
                 to 90 percent of the top 20 scored patterns are
                 verified. We also introduce extended verification from
                 literature surveys, where the high unified scores
                 correspond to even higher verification percentage. The
                 top scored patterns are confirmed to match the known
                 WRKY binding cores with no available 3D structures and

                 secrets of cellular organization and function. Many
                 computational approaches have been developed to predict
                 protein complexes in protein-protein interaction (PPI)
                 networks. However, most existing approaches focus
                 mainly on the topological structure of PPI networks,

                 information. In this paper, we constructed ontology
                 attributed PPI networks with PPI data and GO resource.
                 After constructing ontology attributed networks, we
                 proposed a novel approach called CSO (clustering based
                 on network structure and ontology attribute
                 similarity). Structural information and GO attribute
                 information are complementary in ontology attributed
                 networks. CSO can effectively take advantage of the

  abstract =     "MicroRNAs are very recently discovered small noncoding
                 RNAs, responsible for negative regulation of gene
                 expression. Members of this endogenous family of small
                 RNA molecules have been found implicated in many
                 genetic disorders. Each microRNA targets tens to
                 hundreds of genes. Experimental validation of target
                 genes is a time- and cost-intensive procedure.
                 Therefore, prediction of microRNA targets is a very
                 important problem in computational biology. Though,
                 dozens of target prediction algorithms have been
                 reported in the past decade, they disagree
                 significantly in terms of target gene ranking (based on
                 predicted scores). Rank aggregation is often used to
                 combine multiple target orderings suggested by
                 different algorithms. This technique has been used in
                 diverse fields including social choice theory, meta
                 search in web, and most recently, in bioinformatics.
                 Kemeny optimal aggregation (KOA) is considered the more
                 profound objective for rank aggregation. The consensus
                 ordering obtained through Kemeny optimal aggregation
                 incurs minimum pairwise disagreement with the input
                 orderings. Because of its computational intractability,
                 heuristics are often formulated to obtain a near
                 optimal consensus ranking. Unlike its real time use in
                 meta search, there are a number of scenarios in
                 bioinformatics (e.g., combining microRNA target
                 rankings, combining disease-related gene rankings
                 obtained from microarray experiments) where
                 evolutionary approaches can be afforded with the
                 ambition of better optimization. We conjecture that an
                 ideal consensus ordering should have its total
                 disagreement shared, as equally as possible, with the
                 input orderings. This is also important to refrain the
                 evolutionary processes from getting stuck to local
                 extremes. In the current work, we reformulate Kemeny
                 optimal aggregation while introducing a trade-off
                 between the total pairwise disagreement and its
                 distribution. A simulated annealing-based
                 implementation of the proposed objective has been found
                 effective in context of microRNA target ranking.

                 in proteins is helpful to understand how miRNAs silence
                 their target genes. It is difficult to use existing
                 computational method to predict miRNA-binding residues
                 in proteins due to the lack of training examples. To
                 address this issue, unlabeled data may be exploited to
                 help construct a computational model. Semisupervised
                 learning deals with methods for exploiting unlabeled
                 data in addition to labeled data automatically to
                 improve learning performance, where no human
                 intervention is assumed. In addition, miRNA-binding
                 proteins almost always contain a much smaller number of
                 binding than nonbinding residues, and cost-sensitive
                 learning has been deemed as a good solution to the
                 class imbalance problem. In this work, a novel model is
                 proposed for recognizing miRNA-binding residues in
                 proteins from sequences using a cost-sensitive
                 extension of Laplacian support vector machines
                 (CS-LapSVM) with a hybrid feature. The hybrid feature
                 consists of evolutionary information of the amino acid
                 sequence (position-specific scoring matrices), the
                 conservation information about three biochemical
                 properties (HKM) and mutual interaction propensities in
                 protein-miRNA complex structures. The CS-LapSVM
                 receives good performance with an F1 score of $ (26.23
                 \pm 2.55 \%) $ and an AUC value of $ (0.805 \pm 0.020)
                 $ superior to existing approaches for the recognition
                 of RNA-binding residues. A web server called SARS is

  abstract =     "It is widely accepted that lipid rafts promote
                 receptor clustering and thereby facilitate signaling
                 transduction. The role of lipid rafts in inducing and
                 promoting receptor accumulation within the cell
                 membrane has been explored by several computational and
                 experimental studies. However, it remains unclear
                 whether lipid rafts influence the recruitment and
                 binding of proteins from the cytosol as well. To
                 provide an answer to this question a spatial membrane
                 model has been developed based on cellular automata.
                 Our results indicate that lipid rafts indeed influence
                 protein receptor bindings. In particular processes with
                 slow dissociation and binding kinetics are promoted by
                 lipid rafts, whereas fast binding processes are
                 slightly hampered. However, the impact depends on a
                 variety of parameters, such as the size and mobility of
                 the lipid rafts, the induced slow down of receptors
                 within rafts, and also the dissociation and binding
                 kinetics of the cytosolic proteins. Thus, for any
                 individual signaling pathway the influence of lipid
                 rafts on protein binding might be different. To
                 facilitate analyzing this influence given a specific
                 pathway, our approach has been generalized into LiRaM,

                 topologies. The attributes of the proteins in the
                 networks are usually ignored. As protein attributes

                 complexes. PCIA then computes a Degree of Association
                 measure for each pair of interacting proteins to
                 quantitatively determine how much their attribute
                 values associate with each other. Based on this
                 association measure, PCIA is able to discover dense
                 graph clusters consisting of proteins whose attribute
                 values are significantly closer associated with each
                 other. PCIA has been tested with real data and
                 experimental results seem to indicate that attributes
                 of the proteins in the same complex do have some
                 association with each other and, therefore, that
                 protein complexes can be more accurately identified
                 when protein attributes are taken into consideration.",

                 to their contiguity, coverage, and accuracy. We propose
                 a genome-wide, alignment-free genomic distance based on
                 compressed maximal exact matches and suggest adding it
                 to the benchmark of commonly used assembly quality
                 metrics. Maximal exact matches are perfect repeats,
                 without gaps or misspellings, which cannot be further
                 extended to either their left- or right-end side
                 without loss of similarity. The genomic distance here
                 proposed is based on the normalized compression
                 distance, an information-theoretic measure of the
                 relative compressibility of two sequences estimated
                 using multiple finite-context models. This measure

                 absorbing boundary condition in conjunction with the
                 finite-element method (FEM) in biomolecular
                 electrostatics. The introduction of Bayliss-Turkel
                 absorbing boundary operators in electromagnetic
                 scattering problem has been incorporated by few
                 researchers. However, in the area of biomolecular
                 electrostatics, this boundary condition has not been
                 investigated yet. The objective of this paper is
                 twofold. First, to solve nonlinear Poisson--Boltzmann
                 equation using Newton's method and second, to find an
                 efficient and acceptable solution with minimum number
                 of unknowns. In this work, a Galerkin finite-element
                 formulation is used along with a Bayliss-Turkel
                 absorbing boundary operator that explicitly accounts
                 for the open field problem by mapping the Sommerfeld
                 radiation condition from the far field to near field.
                 While the Bayliss-Turkel condition works well when the
                 artificial boundary is far from the scatterer, an
                 acceptable tolerance of error can be achieved with the
                 second order operator. Numerical results on test case
                 with simple sphere show that the treatment is able to
                 reach the same level of accuracy achieved by the
                 analytical method while using a lower grid density.
                 Bayliss-Turkel absorbing boundary condition (BTABC)
                 combined with the FEM converges to the exact solution
                 of scattering problems to within discretization
                 error.",

                 hystocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules class II and

                 is considered as the crucial prerequisite for T-cell

                 complexes with the MHC proteins are recognized by the

                 several heterogeneous proteomic and genomic datasets.
                 To computationally annotate proteins, it is necessary
                 and promising to integrate these heterogeneous data
                 sources. Some methods transform these data sources into
                 different kernels or feature representations. Next,
                 these kernels are linearly (or non-linearly) combined
                 into a composite kernel. The composite kernel is
                 utilized to develop a predictive model to infer the
                 function of proteins. A protein can have multiple roles
                 and functions (or labels). Therefore, multi-label
                 learning methods are also adapted for protein function
                 prediction. We develop a transductive multi-label
                 classifier (TMC) to predict multiple functions of
                 proteins using several unlabeled proteins. We also
                 propose a method called transductive multi-label
                 ensemble classifier (TMEC) for integrating the
                 different data sources using an ensemble approach. TMEC
                 trains a graph-based multi-label classifier on each
                 single data source and then combines the predictions of
                 the individual classifiers. We use a directed
                 bi-relational graph to captures three types of
                 relationships between pairs of proteins, between pairs
                 of functions, and between proteins and functions. We
                 evaluate the effectiveness of TMC and TMEC to predict
                 the functions of proteins on three benchmarks. We show
                 that our approaches perform better than recently
                 proposed protein function prediction methods on
                 composite and multiple kernels.",

                 Meidanis and Dias, focuses on representing the order in
                 which genes appear in chromosomes, and applies to
                 circular chromosomes only. By shifting our attention to
                 genome adjacencies, we introduce the adjacency
                 algebraic theory, extending the original algebraic
                 theory to linear chromosomes in a very natural way,
                 also allowing the original algebraic distance formula
                 to be used to the general multichromosomal case, with
                 both linear and circular chromosomes. The resulting
                 distance, which we call algebraic distance here, is
                 very similar to, but not quite the same as,
                 double-cut-and-join distance. We present linear time
                 algorithms to compute it and to sort genomes. We show
                 how to compute the rearrangement distance from the
                 adjacency graph, for an easier comparison with other
                 rearrangement distances. A thorough discussion on the
                 relationship between the chromosomal and adjacency
                 representation is also given, and we show how all
                 classic rearrangement operations can be modeled using

  abstract =     "Cluster analysis is usually the first step adopted to
                 unveil information from gene expression microarray
                 data. Besides selecting a clustering algorithm,
                 choosing an appropriate proximity measure (similarity
                 or distance) is of great importance to achieve
                 satisfactory clustering results. Nevertheless, up to
                 date, there are no comprehensive guidelines concerning
                 how to choose proximity measures for clustering
                 microarray data. Pearson is the most used proximity
                 measure, whereas characteristics of other ones remain
                 unexplored. In this paper, we investigate the choice of
                 proximity measures for the clustering of microarray
                 data by evaluating the performance of 16 proximity
                 measures in 52 data sets from time course and cancer
                 experiments. Our results support that measures rarely
                 employed in the gene expression literature can provide
                 better results than commonly employed ones, such as
                 Pearson, Spearman, and Euclidean distance. Given that
                 different measures stood out for time course and cancer
                 data evaluations, their choice should be specific to
                 each scenario. To evaluate measures on time-course
                 data, we preprocessed and compiled 17 data sets from
                 the microarray literature in a benchmark along with a
                 new methodology, called Intrinsic Biological Separation
                 Ability (IBSA). Both can be employed in future research
                 to assess the effectiveness of new measures for gene
                 time-course data.",

                 neighborhood of one of its multiple steady states. It
                 may reach from one steady state to other within a
                 finite time span. In this paper, a closed-loop control
                 scheme is proposed to steer states of the glycolysis
                 and glycogenolysis (GG) pathway from one of its steady
                 states to other. The GG pathway is modeled in the
                 synergism and saturation system formalism, known as
                 S-system. This S-system model is linearized into the
                 controllable Brunovsky canonical form using a feedback
                 linearization technique. For closed-loop control, the
                 linear-quadratic regulator (LQR) and the
                 linear-quadratic Gaussian (LQG) regulator are invoked
                 to design a controller for tracking prespecified steady
                 states. In the feedback linearization technique, a
                 global diffeomorphism function is proposed that
                 facilitates in achieving the regulation requirement.
                 The robustness of the regulated GG pathway is studied

  abstract =     "Inference of topology of signaling networks from
                 perturbation experiments is a challenging problem.
                 Recently, the inference problem has been formulated as
                 a reference network editing problem and it has been
                 shown that finding the minimum number of edit
                 operations on a reference network to comply with
                 perturbation experiments is an NP-complete problem. In
                 this paper, we propose an integer linear optimization
                 (ILP) model for reconstruction of signaling networks
                 from RNAi data and a reference network. The ILP model
                 guarantees the optimal solution; however, is practical
                 only for small signaling networks of size 10-15 genes
                 due to computational complexity. To scale for large
                 signaling networks, we propose a divide and
                 conquer-based heuristic, in which a given reference
                 network is divided into smaller subnetworks that are
                 solved separately and the solutions are merged together
                 to form the solution for the large network. We validate
                 our proposed approach on real and synthetic data sets,
                 and comparison with the state of the art shows that our
                 proposed approach is able to scale better for large
                 networks while attaining similar or better biological

                 a metabolic network, through which the amount of the
                 target is maximum. An objective function for the said
                 purpose, along with certain linear constraints, is
                 considered and minimized. The basis vectors spanning
                 the null space of the stoichiometric matrix, depicting
                 the metabolic network, are computed, and their convex
                 combinations satisfying the constraints are considered
                 as flux vectors. A set of other constraints,
                 incorporating weighting coefficients corresponding to

  abstract =     "True steady states are a rare occurrence in living
                 organisms, yet their knowledge is essential for
                 quasi-steady-state approximations, multistability
                 analysis, and other important tools in the
                 investigation of chemical reaction networks (CRN) used
                 to describe molecular processes on the cellular level.
                 Here, we present an approach that can provide closed
                 form steady-state solutions to complex systems,
                 resulting from CRN with binary reactions and
                 mass-action rate laws. We map the nonlinear algebraic
                 problem of finding steady states onto a linear problem
                 in a higher-dimensional space. We show that the
                 linearized version of the steady-state equations obeys
                 the linear conservation laws of the original CRN. We
                 identify two classes of problems for which complete,

  abstract =     "Biological interactions are often uncertain events,
                 that may or may not take place with some probability.
                 This uncertainty leads to a massive number of
                 alternative interaction topologies for each such
                 network. The existing studies analyze the degree
                 distribution of biological networks by assuming that
                 all the given interactions take place under all
                 circumstances. This strong and often incorrect
                 assumption can lead to misleading results. In this
                 paper, we address this problem and develop a sound
                 mathematical basis to characterize networks in the
                 presence of uncertain interactions. Using our
                 mathematical representation, we develop a method that
                 can accurately describe the degree distribution of such
                 networks. We also take one more step and extend our
                 method to accurately compute the joint-degree
                 distributions of node pairs connected by edges. The
                 number of possible network topologies grows
                 exponentially with the number of uncertain
                 interactions. However, the mathematical model we
                 develop allows us to compute these degree distributions
                 in polynomial time in the number of interactions. Our
                 method works quickly even for entire protein-protein
                 interaction (PPI) networks. It also helps us find an
                 adequate mathematical model using MLE. We perform a
                 comparative study of node-degree and joint-degree
                 distributions in two types of biological networks: the
                 classical deterministic networks and the more flexible
                 probabilistic networks. Our results confirm that
                 power-law and log-normal models best describe degree
                 distributions for both probabilistic and deterministic
                 networks. Moreover, the inverse correlation of degrees
                 of neighboring nodes shows that, in probabilistic
                 networks, nodes with large number of interactions
                 prefer to interact with those with small number of
                 interactions more frequently than expected. We also
                 show that probabilistic networks are more robust for
                 node-degree distribution computation than the
                 deterministic ones. Availability: all the data sets

  abstract =     "Principal component (PC) plots have become widely used
                 to summarize genetic variation of individuals in a
                 sample. The similarity between genetic distance in PC
                 plots and geographical distance has shown to be quite
                 impressive. However, in most situations, individual
                 ancestral origins are not precisely known or they are
                 heterogeneously distributed; hence, they are hardly
                 linked to a geographical area. We have developed
                 GeneOnEarth, a user-friendly web-based tool to help
                 geneticists to understand whether a linear
                 isolation-by-distance model may apply to a genetic data
                 set; thus, genetic distances among a set of individuals
                 resemble geographical distances among their origins.
                 Its main goal is to allow users to first apply a
                 by-view Procrustes method to visually learn whether
                 this model holds. To do that, the user can choose the

                 map by using, respectively, Google Maps or Google
                 Earth, and rotate, flip, and resize the images.
                 GeneOnEarth can also compute the optimal rotation angle
                 using Procrustes analysis and assess statistical
                 evidence of similarity when a different rotation angle
                 has been chosen by the user. An online version of

  abstract =     "Interactions between biomolecules play an essential
                 role in various biological processes. For predicting
                 DNA-binding or protein-binding proteins, many
                 machine-learning-based techniques have used various
                 types of features to represent the interface of the
                 complexes, but they only deal with the properties of a
                 single atom in the interface and do not take into
                 account the information of neighborhood atoms directly.
                 This paper proposes a new feature representation method
                 for biomolecular interfaces based on the theory of
                 graph wavelet. The enhanced graph wavelet features
                 (EGWF) provides an effective way to characterize
                 interface feature through adding physicochemical
                 features and exploiting a graph wavelet formulation.
                 Particularly, graph wavelet condenses the information
                 around the center atom, and thus enhances the
                 discrimination of features of biomolecule binding
                 proteins in the feature space. Experiment results show
                 that EGWF performs effectively for predicting
                 DNA-binding and protein-binding proteins in terms of
                 Matthew's correlation coefficient (MCC) score and the
                 area value under the receiver operating characteristic

                 organelles makes it difficult to build a general
                 picture. In this paper, we make use of the Pareto-front
                 analysis to investigate the optimization of energy
                 metabolism in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Using the
                 Pareto optimality principle, we compare models of

                 multiobjective optimization, approximation techniques
                 (the Bayesian Automatic Relevance Determination),

                 biological properties in phylogenetics motivates
                 research into formal verification frameworks.
                 Researchers can focus their efforts exclusively on
                 evolution trees and property specifications. To this
                 end, model checking, a mature automated verification
                 technique originating in computer science, is applied
                 to phylogenetic analysis. Our approach is based on
                 three cornerstones: a logical modeling of the evolution
                 with transition systems; the specification of both
                 phylogenetic properties and trees using flexible
                 temporal logic formulas; and the verification of the
                 latter by means of automated computer tools. The most
                 conspicuous result is the inception of a formal
                 framework which allows for a symbolic manipulation of
                 biological data (based on the codification of the
                 taxa). Additionally, different logical models of
                 evolution can be considered, complex properties can be
                 specified in terms of the logical composition of
                 others, and the refinement of unfulfilled properties as
                 well as the discovery of new properties can be
                 undertaken by exploiting the verification results. Some
                 experimental results using a symbolic model verifier

                 gene expression array and liquid chromatography--mass
                 spectrometry (LC-MS) and so on, measure thousands of
                 features, i.e., genes or metabolites, on a continuous
                 scale. In such data, both linear and nonlinear
                 relations exist between features. Nonlinear relations
                 can reflect critical regulation patterns in the
                 biological system. However, they are not identified and
                 utilized by traditional clustering methods based on

                 dependences, i.e., both linear and nonlinear relations,
                 is hampered by the high dimensionality and high noise
                 level of the data. We developed a sensitive
                 nonparametric measure of general dependence between

  abstract =     "The introduction of next generation sequencing in
                 ecological studies has created a major revolution in
                 microbial and fungal ecology. Direct sequencing of
                 hypervariable regions from ribosomal RNA genes can
                 provide rapid and inexpensive analysis for ecological
                 communities. In order to get deep understanding from
                 these rRNA fragments, the Ribosomal Database Project
                 developed the 'RDP Classifier' utilizing 8-mer
                 nucleotide frequencies with Bayesian theorem to obtain
                 taxonomy affiliation. The classifier is computationally
                 efficient and works well with massive short sequences.
                 However, the binary model employed in the RDP
                 classifier does not consider the repetitive 8-mers in
                 each reference sequence. Previous studies have pointed
                 out that multinomial model usually results a better
                 performance than binary model. In this study, we
                 present the na{\"\i}ve Bayesian classifiers with
                 multinomial models that take repetitive 8-mers into
                 account for classifying microbial 16S and fungal 28S
                 rRNA sequences. The results obtained from the
                 multinomial approach were compared with those obtained
                 from the binomial RDP classifier by 250-bp, 400-bp,
                 800-bp, and full-length reads to demonstrate that the
                 multinomial approach can generally achieve a higher
                 prediction accuracy in most hypervariable regions.",

                 residues (ARMiCoRe), a novel approach to a classical
                 bioinformatics problem, viz., multiple sequence
                 alignment (MSA) of gene and protein sequences. Aligning
                 multiple biological sequences is a key step in
                 elucidating evolutionary relationships, annotating
                 newly sequenced segments, and understanding the
                 relationship between biological sequences and
                 functions. Classical MSA algorithms are designed to
                 primarily capture conservations in sequences whereas
                 couplings, or correlated mutations, are well known as
                 an additional important aspect of sequence evolution.
                 (Two sequence positions are coupled when mutations in
                 one are accompanied by compensatory mutations in
                 another). As a result, better exposition of couplings
                 is sometimes one of the reasons for hand-tweaking of
                 MSAs by practitioners. ARMiCoRe introduces a distinctly
                 pattern mining approach to improving MSAs: using
                 frequent episode mining as a foundational basis, we
                 define the notion of a coupled pattern and demonstrate
                 how the discovery and tiling of coupled patterns using
                 a max-flow approach can yield MSAs that are better than
                 conservation-based alignments. Although we were
                 motivated to improve MSAs for the sake of better
                 exposing couplings, we demonstrate that our MSAs are
                 also improvements in terms of traditional metrics of
                 assessment. We demonstrate the effectiveness of
                 ARMiCoRe on a large collection of data sets.",

                 pervasive in systems biology. This research relies
                 almost entirely on graphs for modeling interactions.
                 However, edges in graphs cannot represent multiway
                 interactions among molecules, which occur very often
                 within cells. Hypergraphs may be better representations
                 for networks having such interactions, since hyperedges
                 can naturally represent relationships among multiple
                 molecules. Here, we propose using hypergraphs to
                 capture the uncertainty inherent in reverse engineering
                 gene-gene networks. Some subsets of nodes may induce
                 highly varying subgraphs across an ensemble of networks
                 inferred by a reverse engineering algorithm. We provide
                 a novel formulation of hyperedges to capture this
                 uncertainty in network topology. We propose a
                 clustering-based approach to discover hyperedges. We
                 show that our approach can recover hyperedges planted
                 in synthetic data sets with high precision and recall,
                 even for moderate amount of noise. We apply our
                 techniques to a data set of pathways inferred from
                 genetic interaction data in S. cerevisiae related to
                 the unfolded protein response. Our approach discovers
                 several hyperedges that capture the uncertain
                 connectivity of genes in relevant protein complexes,
                 suggesting that further experiments may be required to
                 precisely discern their interaction patterns. We also
                 show that these complexes are not discovered by an
                 algorithm that computes frequent and dense subgraphs.",

                 Regulatory Network modeling to capture the stochastic
                 behavior observed in the generation of biological
                 entities such as mRNA or proteins. Several approaches
                 including Stochastic Master Equations and Probabilistic
                 Boolean Networks have been proposed to model the
                 stochastic behavior in genetic regulatory networks. It
                 is generally accepted that Stochastic Master Equation
                 is a fundamental model that can describe the system
                 being investigated in fine detail, but the application
                 of this model is computationally enormously expensive.
                 On the other hand, Probabilistic Boolean Network
                 captures only the coarse-scale stochastic properties of
                 the system without modeling the detailed interactions.
                 We propose a new approximation of the stochastic master
                 equation model that is able to capture the finer
                 details of the modeled system including bistabilities
                 and oscillatory behavior, and yet has a significantly
                 lower computational complexity. In this new method, we
                 represent the system using tensors and derive an
                 identity to exploit the sparse connectivity of
                 regulatory targets for complexity reduction. The

                 benchmark systems illustrate performance comparable to
                 detailed stochastic master equation models but with
                 considerably lower computational complexity. The
                 results also demonstrate the reduced complexity of the

                 contributions of parental populations to a hybrid
                 population is an important but challenging problem in
                 reconstructing evolutionary histories from genetic
                 variation data. With the advent of high throughput
                 genotyping technologies, new methods suitable for
                 large-scale data are especially needed. Furthermore,
                 existing methods typically assume the assignment of
                 individuals into subpopulations is known, when that
                 itself is a difficult problem often unresolved for real
                 data. Here, we propose a novel method that combines
                 prior work for inferring nonreticulate population
                 structures with an MCMC scheme for sampling over
                 admixture scenarios to both identify population
                 assignments and learn divergence times and admixture
                 proportions for those populations using genome-scale
                 admixed genetic variation data. We validated our method
                 using coalescent simulations and a collection of real
                 bovine and human variation data. On simulated
                 sequences, our methods show better accuracy and faster
                 runtime than leading competitive methods in estimating
                 admixture fractions and divergence times. Analysis on
                 the real data further shows our methods to be effective
                 at matching our best current knowledge about the
                 relevant populations.",

                 requires establishment of the causal relationship
                 between gene expression and cell behaviors. We seek to
                 understand this relationship at the shoot apical
                 meristem (SAM) of model plant \bioname{Arabidopsis
                 thaliana}. This requires the spatial mapping and
                 temporal alignment of different functional domains into
                 a single template. Live-cell imaging techniques allow
                 us to observe real-time organ primordia growth and gene
                 expression dynamics at cellular resolution. In this
                 paper, we propose a framework for the measurement of
                 growth features at the 3D reconstructed surface of
                 organ primordia, as well as algorithms for robust time
                 alignment of primordia. We computed areas and
                 deformation values from reconstructed 3D surfaces of
                 individual primordia from live-cell imaging data. Based
                 on these growth measurements, we applied a multiple
                 feature landscape matching (LAM-M) algorithm to ensure
                 a reliable temporal alignment of multiple primordia.
                 Although the original landscape matching (LAM)
                 algorithm motivated our alignment approach, it
                 sometimes fails to properly align growth curves in the
                 presence of high noise/distortion. To overcome this
                 shortcoming, we modified the cost function to consider
                 the landscape of the corresponding growth features. We
                 also present an alternate parameter-free growth
                 alignment algorithm which performs as well as LAM-M for
                 high-quality data, but is more robust to the presence
                 of outliers or noise. Results on primordia and guppy
                 evolutionary growth data show that the proposed
                 alignment framework performs at least as well as the
                 LAM algorithm in the general case, and significantly
                 better in the case of increased noise.",

                 central challenge in ab initio protein structure
                 prediction. In the absence of a template structure, a
                 conformational search procedure guided by an energy
                 function explores the conformational space, gathering
                 an ensemble of low-energy decoy conformations. If the
                 sampling is inadequate, the native structure may be
                 missed altogether. Even if reproduced, a subsequent
                 stage that selects a subset of decoys for further
                 structural detail and energetic refinement may discard
                 near-native decoys if they are high energy or
                 insufficiently represented in the ensemble. Sampling
                 should produce a decoy ensemble that facilitates the
                 subsequent selection of near-native decoys. In this
                 paper, we investigate a robotics-inspired framework
                 that allows directly measuring the role of energy in
                 guiding sampling. Testing demonstrates that a soft

                 ensemble less prone to exploiting energetic artifacts
                 and thus more likely to facilitate retainment of
                 near-native conformations by selection techniques. We
                 employ two different energy functions, the associative
                 memory Hamiltonian with water and Rosetta. Results show
                 that enhanced sampling provides a rigorous testing of
                 energy functions and exposes different deficiencies in

                 function of the structure of a protein. In protein
                 design, approximations are made to both the structural
                 representation of the molecule and to the form of the
                 energy equation, such that the existence of a general

                 Here, we present new insights toward the application of

                 of two functional forms, each with two criteria for
                 success. Optimization was carried out by a Monte Carlo

  abstract =     "Electrostatic focusing is a general phenomenon that
                 occurs in cavities and grooves on the molecular surface
                 of biomolecules. Narrow surface features can partially
                 shield charged atoms from the high-dielectric solvent,
                 enhancing electrostatic potentials inside the cavity
                 and projecting electric field lines outward into the
                 solvent. This effect has been observed in many
                 instances and is widely considered in the human
                 examination of molecular structure, but it is rarely
                 integrated into the digital representations used in
                 protein structure comparison software. To create a
                 computational representation of electrostatic focusing,
                 that is compatible with structure comparison
                 algorithms, this paper presents an approach that
                 generates three-dimensional solids that approximate
                 regions where focusing occurs. We verify the accuracy
                 of this representation against instances of focusing in
                 proteins and DNA. Noting that this representation also
                 identifies thin focusing regions on the molecular
                 surface that are unlikely to affect binding, we
                 describe a second algorithm that conservatively
                 isolates larger focusing regions. The resulting 3D
                 solids can be compared with Boolean set operations,
                 permitting a new range of analyses on the regions where
                 electrostatic focusing occurs. They also represent a
                 novel integration of molecular shape and electrostatic
                 focusing into the same structure comparison

  abstract =     "The automation of extracting chemical names from text
                 has significant value to biomedical and life science
                 research. A major barrier in this task is the
                 difficulty of getting a sizable and good quality data
                 to train a reliable entity extraction model. Another
                 difficulty is the selection of informative features of
                 chemical names, since comprehensive domain knowledge on
                 chemistry nomenclature is required. Leveraging random
                 text generation techniques, we explore the idea of
                 automatically creating training sets for the task of
                 chemical name extraction. Assuming the availability of
                 an incomplete list of chemical names, called a
                 dictionary, we are able to generate well-controlled,
                 random, yet realistic chemical-like training documents.
                 We statistically analyze the construction of chemical
                 names based on the incomplete dictionary, and propose a
                 series of new features, without relying on any domain
                 knowledge. Compared to state-of-the-art models learned
                 from manually labeled data and domain knowledge, our
                 solution shows better or comparable results in
                 annotating real-world data with less human effort.
                 Moreover, we report an interesting observation about
                 the language for chemical names. That is, both the
                 structural and semantic components of chemical names
                 follow a Zipfian distribution, which resembles many
                 natural languages.",

                 of coding sequences (CDS) in eukaryotes are non-data
                 driven and exploit the presence of three-base
                 periodicity in these regions for their detection.
                 Three-base periodicity is commonly detected using short
                 time Fourier transform (STFT) that uses a window
                 function of fixed length. As the length of the protein
                 coding and noncoding regions varies widely, the
                 identification accuracy of STFT-based algorithms is
                 poor. In this paper, a novel signal processing-based
                 algorithm is developed by enabling the window length
                 adaptation in STFT of DNA sequences for improving the
                 identification of three-base periodicity. The length of
                 the window function has been made adaptive in coding
                 regions to maximize the magnitude of period-3 measure,
                 whereas in the noncoding regions, the window length is
                 tailored to minimize this measure. Simulation results

                 is important in gene tree probability computations, and

  abstract =     "In many applications, sets of similar texts or
                 sequences are of high importance. Prominent examples
                 are revision histories of documents or genomic
                 sequences. Modern high-throughput sequencing
                 technologies are able to generate DNA sequences at an
                 ever-increasing rate. In parallel to the decreasing
                 experimental time and cost necessary to produce DNA
                 sequences, computational requirements for analysis and
                 storage of the sequences are steeply increasing.
                 Compression is a key technology to deal with this
                 challenge. Recently, referential compression schemes,
                 storing only the differences between a to-be-compressed
                 input and a known reference sequence, gained a lot of
                 interest in this field. In this paper, we propose a
                 general open-source framework to compress large amounts
                 of biological sequence data called Framework for
                 REferential Sequence COmpression (FRESCO). Our basic
                 compression algorithm is shown to be one to two orders
                 of magnitudes faster than comparable related work,
                 while achieving similar compression ratios. We also
                 propose several techniques to further increase
                 compression ratios, while still retaining the advantage
                 in speed: (1) selecting a good reference sequence; and
                 (2) rewriting a reference sequence to allow for better
                 compression. In addition, we propose a new way of
                 further boosting the compression ratios by applying
                 referential compression to already referentially
                 compressed files (second-order compression). This
                 technique allows for compression ratios way beyond
                 state of the art, for instance, 4,000:1 and higher for
                 human genomes. We evaluate our algorithms on a large
                 data set from three different species (more than 1,000
                 genomes, more than 3 TB) and on a collection of
                 versions of Wikipedia pages. Our results show that
                 real-time compression of highly similar sequences at
                 high compression ratios is possible on modern
                 hardware.",

                 that is able to produce 3D gray-scale images of protein
                 molecules. In contrast to other experimental
                 techniques, cryo-electron microscopy is capable of
                 visualizing large molecular complexes such as viruses
                 and ribosomes. At medium resolution, the positions of
                 the atoms are not visible and the process cannot
                 proceed. The medium-resolution images produced by
                 cryo-electron microscopy are used to derive the atomic
                 structure of the proteins in de novo modeling. The
                 skeletons of the 3D gray-scale images are used to
                 interpret important information that is helpful in de
                 novo modeling. Unfortunately, not all features of the
                 image can be captured using a single segmentation. In
                 this paper, we present a segmentation-free approach to
                 extract the gray-scale curve-like skeletons. The
                 approach relies on a novel representation of the 3D
                 image, where the image is modeled as a graph and a set
                 of volume trees. A test containing 36 synthesized maps
                 and one authentic map shows that our approach can
                 improve the performance of the two tested tools used in
                 de novo modeling. The improvements were 62 and 13

  abstract =     "Operons contain valuable information for drug design
                 and determining protein functions. Genes within an
                 operon are co-transcribed to a single-strand mRNA and
                 must be coregulated. The identification of operons is,
                 thus, critical for a detailed understanding of the gene
                 regulations. However, currently used experimental
                 methods for operon detection are generally difficult to
                 implement and time consuming. In this paper, we propose
                 a chaotic binary particle swarm optimization (CBPSO) to
                 predict operons in bacterial genomes. The intergenic
                 distance, participation in the same metabolic pathway
                 and the cluster of orthologous groups (COG) properties
                 of the Escherichia coli genome are used to design a
                 fitness function. Furthermore, the Bacillus subtilis,
                 Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01, Staphylococcus aureus and
                 Mycobacterium tuberculosis genomes are tested and

  abstract =     "Gene translation is a central stage in the
                 intracellular process of protein synthesis. Gene
                 translation proceeds in three major stages: initiation,
                 elongation, and termination. During the elongation
                 step, ribosomes (intracellular macromolecules) link
                 amino acids together in the order specified by
                 messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules. The homogeneous
                 ribosome flow model (HRFM) is a mathematical model of
                 translation-elongation under the assumption of constant
                 elongation rate along the mRNA sequence. The HRFM
                 includes $ (n) $ first-order nonlinear ordinary
                 differential equations, where $ (n) $ represents the
                 length of the mRNA sequence, and two positive
                 parameters: ribosomal initiation rate and the
                 (constant) elongation rate. Here, we analyze the HRFM
                 when $ (n) $ goes to infinity and derive a simple
                 expression for the steady-state protein synthesis rate.
                 We also derive bounds that show that the behavior of
                 the HRFM for finite, and relatively small, values of $
                 (n) $ is already in good agreement with the closed-form
                 result in the infinite-dimensional case. For example,
                 for $ (n = 15) $, the relative error is already less
                 than 4 percent. Our results can, thus, be used in
                 practice for analyzing the behavior of
                 finite-dimensional HRFMs that model translation. To
                 demonstrate this, we apply our approach to estimate the
                 mean initiation rate in M. musculus, finding it to be
                 around 0.17 codons per second.",

                 DNA-binding proteins require that they interact with
                 their target binding site with high affinity and
                 specificity. Advances in randomized production and
                 target-oriented selection of engineered artificial
                 DNA-binding domains incited a rapidly expanding field
                 of designer transcription factors (TFs). Engineered
                 transcription factors are used in zinc-finger nuclease
                 (ZFN) technology that allows targeted genome editing.
                 Zinc-finger-binding domains fabricated by modular
                 assembly display an unexpectedly high failure rate
                 having either a lack of activity as ZFNs in human cells
                 or activity at ``off-target EUR' binding sites on the
                 human genome causing cell death. To address these
                 shortcomings, we created new binding domains using a
                 targeted modification strategy. We produced two SP1
                 mutants by exchanging amino acid residues in the
                 alpha-helical region of the transcription factor SP1.
                 We identified their best target binding sites and
                 searched the NCBI HuRef genome for matches of the
                 nine-base-pair consensus binding site of SP1 and the
                 best binding sites of its mutants. Our research
                 concludes that we can alter the binding preference of

                 networks is a challenging task in computational
                 biology. Network component analysis (NCA) has become a
                 powerful scheme to uncover regulatory networks behind
                 complex biological processes. However, the performance
                 of NCA is impaired by the high rate of false
                 connections in binding information. In this paper, we
                 integrate stability analysis with NCA to form a novel
                 scheme, namely stability-based NCA (sNCA), for
                 regulatory network identification. The method mainly
                 addresses the inconsistency between gene expression
                 data and binding motif information. Small perturbations
                 are introduced to prior regulatory network, and the
                 distance among multiple estimated transcript factor
                 (TF) activities is computed to reflect the stability
                 for each TF's binding network. For target gene
                 identification, multivariate regression and t-statistic
                 are used to calculate the significance for each TF-gene
                 connection. Simulation studies are conducted and the
                 experimental results show that sNCA can achieve an
                 improved and robust performance in TF identification as
                 compared to NCA. The approach for target gene
                 identification is also demonstrated to be suitable for
                 identifying true connections between TFs and their
                 target genes. Furthermore, we have successfully applied
                 sNCA to breast cancer data to uncover the role of TFs
                 in regulating endocrine resistance in breast cancer.",

                 problem involving the integration of heterogeneous
                 sources of biomolecular data and the design of label
                 ranking algorithms able to exploit the overall topology
                 of the underlying pharmacological network. In this
                 context, we propose a novel semisupervised drug ranking
                 problem: prioritizing drugs in integrated biochemical
                 networks according to specific DrugBank therapeutic
                 categories. Algorithms for drug repositioning usually
                 perform the inference step into an inhomogeneous
                 similarity space induced by the relationships existing
                 between drugs and a second type of entity (e.g.,
                 disease, target, ligand set), thus making infeasible a
                 drug ranking within a homogeneous pharmacological
                 space. To deal with this problem, we designed a general
                 framework based on bipartite network projections by
                 which homogeneous pharmacological networks can be
                 constructed and integrated from heterogeneous and
                 complementary sources of chemical, biomolecular and
                 clinical information. Moreover, we present a novel
                 algorithmic scheme based on kernelized score functions
                 that adopts both local and global learning strategies
                 to effectively rank drugs in the integrated

                 combination methods. Detailed experiments with more

  abstract =     "For protein structure alignment and comparison, a lot
                 of work has been done using RMSD as the distance
                 measure, which has drawbacks under certain
                 circumstances. Thus, the discrete Fr{\'e}chet distance
                 was recently applied to the problem of protein
                 (backbone) structure alignment and comparison with
                 promising results. For this problem, visualization is
                 also important because protein chain backbones can have
                 as many as 500-600 $ (\alpha) $-carbon atoms, which
                 constitute the vertices in the comparison. Even with an
                 excellent alignment, the similarity of two polygonal
                 chains can be difficult to visualize unless the chains
                 are nearly identical. Thus, the chain pair
                 simplification problem (CPS-3F) was proposed in 2008 to
                 simultaneously simplify both chains with respect to
                 each other under the discrete Fr{\'e}chet distance. The
                 complexity of CPS-3F is unknown, so heuristic methods
                 have been developed. Here, we define a variation of
                 CPS-3F, called the constrained CPS-3F problem ($ ({\rm
                 CPS \hbox {-}3F}^+) $ ), and prove that it is
                 polynomially solvable by presenting a dynamic
                 programming solution, which we then prove is a factor-2
                 approximation for CPS-3F. We then compare the $ ({\rm
                 CPS \hbox {-}3F}^+) $ solutions with previous empirical
                 results, and further demonstrate some of the benefits
                 of the simplified comparisons. Chain pair
                 simplification based on the Hausdorff distance (CPS-2H)
                 is known to be NP-complete, and here we prove that the
                 constrained version ($ (\rm C P S \hbox {-}2 H^+) $ )
                 is also NP-complete. Finally, we discuss future work
                 and implications along with a software library
                 implementation, named the Fr{\'e}chet-based Protein

  abstract =     "A loss of heterozygosity (LOH) event occurs when, by
                 the laws of Mendelian inheritance, an individual should
                 be heterozygote at a given site but, due to a deletion
                 polymorphism, is not. Deletions play an important role
                 in human disease and their detection could provide
                 fundamental insights for the development of new
                 diagnostics and treatments. In this paper, we
                 investigate the parsimonious loss of heterozygosity
                 problem (PLOHP), i.e., the problem of partitioning
                 suspected polymorphisms from a set of individuals into
                 a minimum number of deletion areas. Specifically, we
                 generalize Halld{\'o}rsson et al.'s work by providing a
                 more general formulation of the PLOHP and by showing
                 how one can incorporate different recombination rates
                 and prior knowledge about the locations of deletions.
                 Moreover, we show that the PLOHP can be formulated as a
                 specific version of the clique partition problem in a
                 particular class of graphs called undirected
                 catch-point interval graphs and we prove its general $
                 ({\cal NP}) $-hardness. Finally, we provide a
                 state-of-the-art integer programming (IP) formulation
                 and strengthening valid inequalities to exactly solve
                 real instances of the PLOHP containing up to 9,000
                 individuals and 3,000 SNPs. Our results give
                 perspectives on the mathematics of the PLOHP and

                 efficient exact solution approaches.",

                 mechanism for transcriptome and proteome diversity in
                 higher eukaryotes, yet its evolution is poorly
                 understood. Most studies focus on the evolution of
                 exons and introns at the gene level, while only few

                 ancestral transcripts evolve along the gene tree by
                 gains, losses, and mutation. We demonstrate the
                 usefulness of our method on a set of 805 genes and two
                 different topics. First, we improve a method for
                 transcriptome reconstruction from ESTs (ASPic), then we
                 study the evolution of function in transcripts. The use

                 study reveal that conserved transcripts are more likely
                 to share protein domains than functional sites. These

                 how to infer the evolutionary history of a PPI network

                 possible tumor progression pathways, molecular
                 subtypes, and mechanisms of action. We previously
                 developed a pipeline for constructing phylogenies
                 describing evolution between major recurring cell types
                 computationally inferred from whole-genome tumor
                 profiles. The accuracy and detail of the phylogenies,
                 however, depend on the identification of accurate,
                 high-resolution molecular markers of progression, i.e.,
                 reproducible regions of aberration that robustly

                 identify robust markers of progression conserved across

                 our method in comparison to other methods on both

                 synthesize insights from new data remains a major

                 of types. The phenotypic properties of cells of
                 different types are largely the results of distinct
                 gene expression patterns. Therefore, it is of critical
                 importance to characterize the gene expression patterns
                 in the mammalian brain. The Allen Developing Mouse
                 Brain Atlas provides spatiotemporal in situ
                 hybridization gene expression data across multiple
                 stages of mouse brain development. It provides a
                 framework to explore spatiotemporal regulation of gene
                 expression during development. We employ a graph
                 approximation formulation to cocluster the genes and
                 the brain voxels simultaneously for each time point. We
                 show that this formulation can be expressed as a
                 probabilistic latent semantic analysis (PLSA) model,
                 thereby allowing us to use the expectation-maximization
                 algorithm for PLSA to estimate the coclustering
                 parameters. To provide a quantitative comparison with
                 prior methods, we evaluate the coclustering method on a

                 approximated within any factor even if each gene family
                 occurs at most twice in a genome. This is due to the

                 occurs at most twice in a genome (ZEBD$ ((2, 2)) $ for

  abstract =     "Group testing, also known as pooling, is a common
                 technique used in high-throughput experiments in
                 molecular biology to significantly reduce the number of
                 tests required to identify rare biological interactions
                 while correcting for experimental noise. Central to the
                 group testing problem are (1) a pooling design that
                 lays out how items are grouped together into pools for
                 testing and (2) a decoder that interprets the results
                 of the tested pools, identifying the active compounds.
                 In this work, we take advantage of decoder guarantees
                 from the field of compressed sensing (CS) to address
                 the problem of efficient and reliable detection of
                 biological interaction in noisy high-throughput
                 experiments. We also use efficient combinatorial
                 algorithms from group testing as well as established
                 measurement matrices from CS to create pooling designs.
                 First, we formulate the group testing problem in terms
                 of a Boolean CS framework. We then propose a
                 low-complexity $ (l_1) $-norm decoder to interpret
                 pooling test results and identify active compounds. We
                 demonstrate the robustness of the proposed $ (l_1)
                 $-norm decoder in simulated experiments with
                 false-positive and false-negative error rates typical
                 of high-throughput experiments. When benchmarked
                 against the current state-of-the-art methods, the
                 proposed $ (l_1) $-norm decoder provides superior error
                 correction for the majority of the cases considered
                 while being notably faster computationally.
                 Additionally, we test the performance of the $ (l_1)
                 $-norm decoder against a real experimental data set,
                 where 12,675 prey proteins were screened against 12
                 bait proteins. Lastly, we study the impact of different
                 sparse pooling design matrices on decoder performance
                 and show that the shifted transversal design (STD) is
                 the most suitable among the pooling designs surveyed
                 for biological applications of CS.",

                 important task in structure-based drug design and
                 docking algorithms. In the past two decades, different
                 approaches have been developed to predict the binding
                 site, such as the geometric, energetic, and
                 sequence-based methods. When scores are calculated from

                 becomes very important and can affect the prediction
                 results greatly. In this paper, the support vector
                 machine (SVM) is used to cluster the pockets that are
                 most likely to bind ligands with the attributes of
                 geometric characteristics, interaction potential,
                 offset from protein, conservation score, and properties

                 for the specification and analysis of complex systems.
                 It can be applied directly to biological systems which
                 present these characteristics, including cell transport
                 systems. These systems are structures responsible for
                 exchanging ions through the plasma membrane. Their
                 correct behavior is essential for animal cells, since
                 changes on those are responsible for diseases. In this

                 the palytoxin toxin (PTX) interactions with one of
                 these systems. Our model suggests that ATP could

  abstract =     "In a shotgun proteomics experiment, proteins are the
                 most biologically meaningful output. The success of
                 proteomics studies depends on the ability to accurately
                 and efficiently identify proteins. Many methods have
                 been proposed to facilitate the identification of
                 proteins from peptide identification results. However,
                 the relationship between protein identification and
                 peptide identification has not been thoroughly
                 explained before. In this paper, we devote ourselves to
                 a combinatorial perspective of the protein inference
                 problem. We employ combinatorial mathematics to
                 calculate the conditional protein probabilities
                 (protein probability means the probability that a
                 protein is correctly identified) under three
                 assumptions, which lead to a lower bound, an upper
                 bound, and an empirical estimation of protein
                 probabilities, respectively. The combinatorial
                 perspective enables us to obtain an analytical
                 expression for protein inference. Our method achieves
                 comparable results with ProteinProphet in a more

  abstract =     "Coupling graphs are newly introduced in this paper to
                 meet many application needs particularly in the field
                 of bioinformatics. A coupling graph is a two-layer
                 graph complex, in which each node from one layer of the
                 graph complex has at least one connection with the
                 nodes in the other layer, and vice versa. The coupling
                 graph model is sufficiently powerful to capture strong
                 and inherent associations between subgraph pairs in
                 complicated applications. The focus of this paper is on
                 mining algorithms of frequent coupling subgraphs and
                 bioinformatics application. Although existing frequent
                 subgraph mining algorithms are competent to identify
                 frequent subgraphs from a graph database, they perform
                 poorly on frequent coupling subgraph mining because
                 they generate many irrelevant subgraphs. We propose a
                 novel graph transformation technique to transform a
                 coupling graph into a generic graph. Based on the
                 transformed coupling graphs, existing graph mining
                 methods are then utilized to discover frequent coupling
                 subgraphs. We prove that the transformation is precise
                 and complete and that the restoration is reversible.
                 Experiments carried out on a database containing 10,511
                 coupling graphs show that our proposed algorithm
                 reduces the mining time very much in comparison with
                 the existing subgraph mining algorithms. Moreover, we
                 demonstrate the usefulness of frequent coupling
                 subgraphs by applying our algorithm to make accurate
                 predictions of epitopes in antibody-antigen binding.",

  abstract =     "The major histocompatibility complex (MHC), a
                 cell-surface protein mediating immune recognition,
                 plays important roles in the immune response system of
                 all higher vertebrates. MHC molecules are highly
                 polymorphic and they are grouped into serotypes
                 according to the specificity of the response. It is a
                 common belief that a protein sequence determines its
                 three dimensional structure and function. Hence, the
                 protein sequence determines the serotype. Residues play
                 different levels of importance. In this paper, we
                 quantify the residue significance with the available
                 serotype information. Knowing the significance of the
                 residues will deepen our understanding of the MHC
                 molecules and yield us a concise representation of the
                 molecules. In this paper we propose a linear
                 programming-based approach to find significant residue
                 positions as well as quantifying their significance in
                 MHC II DR molecules. A mong all the residues in MHC II
                 DR molecules, 18 positions are of particular
                 significance, which is consistent with the literature
                 on MHC binding sites, and succinct pseudo-sequences
                 appear to be adequate to capture the whole sequence
                 features. When the result is used for classification of
                 MHC molecules with serotype assigned by WHO, a 98.4
                 percent prediction performance is achieved. The methods

                 Accurate prediction of proline CTI is of great
                 importance for the understanding of protein folding,

                 ensembles in crystals. Despite much evidence that there
                 is widespread conformational polymorphism in protein
                 side chains, most of the X -ray crystallography data
                 are modeled by single conformations in the Protein Data
                 Bank. The ability to extract or to predict these
                 conformational polymorphisms is of crucial importance,
                 as it facilitates deeper understanding of protein
                 dynamics and functionality. In this paper, we describe
                 a computational strategy capable of predicting
                 side-chain polymorphisms. Our approach extends a
                 particular class of algorithms for side-chain

                 more appropriately as continuous rather than discrete

                 residue-specific distributions that encode information
                 about side-chain polymorphisms. Our predicted
                 polymorphisms are in relatively close agreement with

  abstract =     "The rapid development of high-throughput technologies
                 enables researchers to sequence the whole metagenome of
                 a microbial community sampled directly from the
                 environment. The assignment of these sequence reads
                 into different species or taxonomical classes is a
                 crucial step for metagenomic analysis, which is
                 referred to as binning of metagenomic data. Most
                 traditional binning methods rely on known reference
                 genomes for accurate assignment of the sequence reads,
                 therefore cannot classify reads from unknown species
                 without the help of close references. To overcome this
                 drawback, unsupervised learning based approaches have
                 been proposed, which need not any known species'
                 reference genome for help. In this paper, we introduce
                 a novel unsupervised method called MCluster for binning
                 metagenomic sequences. This method uses N-grams to
                 extract sequence features and utilizes automatic
                 feature weighting to improve the performance of the
                 basic K-means clustering algorithm. We evaluate
                 MCluster on a variety of simulated data sets and a real
                 data set, and compare it with three latest binning
                 methods: AbundanceBin, MetaCluster 3.0, and MetaCluster
                 5.0. Experimental results show that MCluster achieves
                 obviously better overall performance ( F -measure) than
                 AbundanceBin and MetaCluster 3.0 on long metagenomic
                 reads ({$>$}=800 bp); while compared with MetaCluster
                 5.0, MCluster obtains a larger sensitivity, and a
                 comparable yet more stable F -measure on short
                 metagenomic reads ({$<$300} bp). This suggests that
                 MCluster can serve as a promising tool for effectively
                 binning metagenomic sequences.",

  abstract =     "Species detection is an important topic in the text
                 mining field. According to the importance of the
                 research topics (e.g., species assignment to genes and
                 document focus species detection), some studies are
                 dedicated to an individual topic. However, no
                 researcher to date has discussed species detection as a
                 general problem. Therefore, we developed a multi-scope
                 species detection model to identify the focus species
                 for different scopes (i.e., gene mention, sentence,
                 paragraph, and global scope of the entire article).
                 Species assignment is one of the bottlenecks of gene
                 name disambiguation. In our evaluation, recognizing the
                 focus species of a gene mention in four different
                 scopes improved the gene name disambiguation. We used
                 the species cue words extracted from articles to
                 estimate the relevance between an article and a
                 species. The relevance score was calculated by our
                 proposed entities frequency-augmented invert species
                 frequency (EF-AISF) formula, which represents the
                 importance of an entity to a species. We also defined a
                 relation guide factor (RGF) to normalize the relevance
                 score. Our method not only achieved better performance
                 than previous methods but also can handle the articles
                 that do not specifically mention a species. In the DECA
                 corpus, we outperformed previous studies and obtained
                 an accuracy of 88.22 percent.",

  abstract =     "Genetic recombination is an essential event during the
                 process of meiosis resulting in an exchange of segments
                 between paired chromosomes. Estimating recombination
                 rate is crucial for understanding the process of
                 recombination. Experimental methods are normally
                 difficult and limited to small scale estimations. Thus
                 statistical methods using population genetics data are
                 important for large-scale analysis. LDhat is an
                 extensively used statistical method using jMCMC
                 algorithm to predict recombination rates. Due to the
                 complexity of rjMCMC scheme, LDhat may take a long time
                 for large SNP data sets. In addition, rjMCMC parameters
                 should be manually defined in the original program
                 which directly impact results. To address these issues,
                 we designed an improved algorithm based on LDhat
                 implementing MCMC convergence diagnostic algorithms to
                 automatically predict values of parameters and monitor
                 the mixing process. Then parallel computation methods
                 were employed to further accelerate the new program.
                 The new algorithms have been tested on ten samples from
                 HapMap phase 2 data set. The results were compared with
                 previous code and showed nearly identical output.
                 However, our new methods achieved significant
                 acceleration proving that they are more efficient and
                 reliable for the estimation of recombination rates. The

                 their correlated modules is essential for analysis of
                 transcriptional regulation, which is a challenging
                 problem in computational biology. Unsupervised learning
                 has the advantage of compensating for missing annotated

  abstract =     "Cancer forms a robust system capable of maintaining
                 stable functioning (cell sustenance and proliferation)
                 despite perturbations. Cancer progresses as stages over
                 time typically with increasing aggressiveness and
                 worsening prognosis. Characterizing these stages and
                 identifying the genes driving transitions between them
                 is critical to understand cancer progression and to
                 develop effective anti-cancer therapies. In this work,
                 we propose a novel model for the 'cancer system' as a
                 Boolean state space in which a Boolean network, built
                 from protein-interaction and gene-expression data from
                 different stages of cancer, transits between Boolean
                 satisfiability states by ``editing'' interactions and
                 ``flipping'' genes. Edits reflect rewiring of the PPI
                 network while flipping of genes reflect activation or
                 silencing of genes between stages. We formulate a
                 minimization problem MIN FLIP to identify these genes
                 driving the transitions. The application of our model
                 (called BoolSpace) on three case studies--pancreatic
                 and breast tumours in human and post spinal-cord injury
                 (SCI) in rats--reveals valuable insights into the
                 phenomenon of cancer progression: (i) interactions
                 involved in core cell-cycle and DNA-damage repair
                 pathways are significantly rewired in tumours,
                 indicating significant impact to key genome-stabilizing
                 mechanisms; (ii) several of the genes flipped are
                 serine/threonine kinases which act as biological
                 switches, reflecting cellular switching mechanisms
                 between stages; and (iii) different sets of genes are
                 flipped during the initial and final stages indicating
                 a pattern to tumour progression. Based on these
                 results, we hypothesize that robustness of cancer
                 partly stems from ``passing of the baton'' between
                 genes at different stages--genes from different
                 biological processes and/or cellular components are
                 involved in different stages of tumour progression
                 thereby allowing tumour cells to evade targeted
                 therapy, and therefore an effective therapy should
                 target a ``cover set'' of these genes. A C/C++

                 is to identify the transcripts whose expressions change
                 significantly across different types of samples or
                 experimental conditions. A number of statistical
                 testing methods are available for this purpose. In this
                 paper, we provide a comprehensive survey on different
                 parametric and non-parametric testing methodologies for
                 identifying differential expression from microarray

                 Subsequently, we have prepared different simulated data

  abstract =     "Gene Ontology (GO) consists of a controlled vocabulary
                 of terms, annotating a gene or gene product, structured
                 in a directed acyclic graph. In the graph, semantic
                 relations connect the terms, that represent the
                 knowledge of functional description and cellular
                 component information of gene products. GO similarity
                 gives us a numerical representation of biological
                 relationship between a gene set, which can be used to
                 infer various biological facts such as protein
                 interaction, structural similarity, gene clustering,
                 etc. Here we introduce a new shortest path based hybrid
                 measure of ontological similarity between two terms
                 which combines both structure of the GO graph and
                 information content of the terms. Here the similarity
                 between two terms $ t_1 $ and $ t_2 $, referred to as
                 GOSimPBHM($ t_1 $, $ t_2$), has two components; one
                 obtained from the common ancestors of $ t_1$ and $
                 t_2$. The other from their remaining ancestors. The
                 proposed path based hybrid measure does not suffer from
                 the well-known shallow annotation problem. Its
                 superiority with respect to some other popular measures
                 is established for protein protein interaction
                 prediction, correlation with gene expression and
                 functional classification of genes in a biological
                 pathway. Finally, the proposed measure is utilized to
                 compute the average GO similarity score among the genes
                 that are experimentally validated targets of some
                 microRNAs. Results demonstrate that the targets of a
                 given miRNA have a high degree of similarity in the
                 biological process category of GO.",

                 techniques. In this paper, we present an efficient
                 algorithm, CAMS-RS (Clustering Algorithm for Mass
                 Spectra using Restricted Space and Sampling) for
                 clustering of raw mass spectrometry data. CAMS-RS
                 utilizes a novel metric (called F-set) that exploits
                 the temporal and spatial patterns to accurately assess
                 similarity between two given spectra. The F-set
                 similarity metric is independent of the retention time
                 and allows clustering of mass spectrometry data from
                 independent LC-MS/MS runs. A novel restricted search
                 space strategy is devised to limit the comparisons of
                 the number of spectra. An intelligent sampling method
                 is executed on individual bins that allow merging of
                 the results to make the final clusters. Our
                 experiments, using experimentally generated data sets,
                 show that the proposed algorithm is able to cluster
                 spectra with high accuracy and is helpful in
                 interpreting low S/N ratio spectra. The CAMS-RS
                 algorithm is highly scalable with increasing number of
                 spectra and our implementation allows clustering of up
                 to a million spectra within minutes.",

                 newly introduced method for the detection of copy
                 number abnormalities associated with human diseases
                 with special focus on cancer. Specific patterns in DNA
                 copy number variations (CNVs) can be associated with
                 certain disease types and can facilitate prognosis and
                 progress monitoring of the disease. Machine learning
                 techniques have been used to model the problem of
                 tissue typing as a classification problem. Feature
                 selection is an important part of the classification
                 process, because many biological features are not
                 related to the diseases and confuse the classification
                 tasks. Multiple feature selection methods have been
                 proposed in the different domains where classification
                 has been applied. In this work, we will present a new
                 feature selection method based on structured
                 sparsity-inducing norms to identify the informative
                 aCGH biomarkers which can help us classify different
                 disease subtypes. To validate the performance of the
                 proposed method, we experimentally compare it with
                 existing feature selection methods on four publicly
                 available aCGH data sets. In all empirical results, the
                 proposed sparse learning based feature selection method
                 consistently outperforms other related approaches. More
                 important, we carefully investigate the aCGH biomarkers
                 selected by our method, and the biological evidences in

                 called the gene team model, in which a chromosome is
                 defined to be a permutation of distinct genes and a
                 gene team is defined to be a set of genes that appear
                 in two or more species, with the distance between
                 adjacent genes in the team for each chromosome always
                 no more than a certain threshold $ \delta $. A gene
                 team tree is a succinct way to represent all gene teams
                 for every possible value of $ \delta $. The previous
                 fastest algorithm for constructing a gene team tree of
                 two chromosomes requires $ O (n \lg n \lg \lg n) $
                 time, which was given by Wang and Lin. Its bottleneck
                 is a problem called the maximum-gap problem. In this
                 paper, by presenting an improved algorithm for the
                 maximum-gap problem, we reduce the upper bound of the
                 gene team tree problem to $ O (n \lg n \alpha (n)) $.
                 Since a grows extremely slowly, this result is almost
                 as efficient as the current best upper bound, $ O (n

                 \delta $ value. Our new algorithm is very efficient
                 from both the theoretical and practical points of view.
                 Wang and Lin's gene-team-tree algorithm can be extended
                 to $k$ chromosomes with complexity $ O (k n \lg n \lg
                 \lg n)$. Similarly, our improved algorithm for the
                 maximum-gap problem reduces this running time to $ O (k
                 n \lg n \alpha (n))$. In addition, it also provides new
                 upper bounds for the gene team tree problem on general
                 sequences, in which multiple copies of the same gene
                 are allowed.",

                 (pre-) miRNAs helps in understanding regulatory
                 processes. Machine learning methods have been designed

                 cannot provide reliable predictive performances on
                 independent testing data sets. We assumed this is
                 because the training sets, especially the negative
                 training sets, are not sufficiently representative. To
                 generate a representative negative set, we proposed a
                 novel negative sample selection technique, and
                 successfully collected negative samples with improved
                 quality. Two recent classifiers rebuilt with the
                 proposed negative set achieved an improvement of $
                 \approx 6 $ percent in their predictive performance,
                 which confirmed this assumption. Based on the proposed

                 design and poor error estimation. The problem has
                 recently been addressed by utilizing prior knowledge in
                 the form of a prior distribution on an uncertainty
                 class of feature-label distributions. A critical issue
                 remains: how to incorporate biological knowledge into
                 the prior distribution. For genomics/proteomics, the
                 most common kind of knowledge is in the form of
                 signaling pathways. Thus, it behooves us to find
                 methods of transforming pathway knowledge into
                 knowledge of the feature-label distribution governing
                 the classification problem. In this paper, we address
                 the problem of prior probability construction by
                 proposing a series of optimization paradigms that
                 utilize the incomplete prior information contained in
                 pathways (both topological and regulatory). The
                 optimization paradigms employ the marginal

                 feature-label realizations (sample points) regularized
                 with the prior pathway information about the variables.

                 relevant similarities between the inspected molecules.
                 We developed dynamic programming algorithms for finding
                 common structure-sequence patterns between two RNAs.
                 The RNAs are given by their sequence and a set of
                 potential base pairs with associated probabilities. In
                 contrast to prior work on local pattern matching of
                 RNAs, we support the breaking of arcs. This allows us
                 to add flexibility over matching only fixed structures;
                 potentially matching only a similar subset of specified
                 base pairs. We present an $ O(n^3) $ algorithm for
                 local exact pattern matching between two nested RNAs,
                 and an $ O(n^3 \log n) $ algorithm for one nested RNA
                 and one bounded-unlimited RNA. In addition, an
                 algorithm for approximate pattern matching is
                 introduced that for two given nested RNAs and a number
                 $k$, finds the maximal local pattern matching score
                 between the two RNAs with at most $k$ mismatches in $
                 O(n^3 k^2)$ time. Finally, we present an $ O(n^3)$
                 algorithm for finding the most similar subforest
                 between two nested RNAs.",

  abstract =     "The minimizing deep coalescence (MDC) problem seeks a
                 species tree that reconciles the given gene trees with
                 the minimum number of deep coalescence events, called
                 deep coalescence (DC) cost. To better assess MDC
                 species trees we investigate into a basic mathematical
                 property of the DC cost, called the diameter. Given a
                 gene tree, a species tree, and a leaf labeling function
                 that assigns leaf-genes of the gene tree to a
                 leaf-species in the species tree from which they were
                 sampled, the DC cost describes the discordance between
                 the trees caused by deep coalescence events. The
                 diameter of a gene tree and a species tree is the
                 maximum DC cost across all leaf labelings for these
                 trees. We prove fundamental mathematical properties
                 describing precisely these diameters for bijective and
                 general leaf labelings, and present efficient
                 algorithms to compute the diameters and their
                 corresponding leaf labelings. In particular, we
                 describe an optimal, i.e., linear time, algorithm for
                 the bijective case. Finally, in an experimental study
                 we demonstrate that the average diameters between a
                 gene tree and a species tree grow significantly slower
                 than their naive upper bounds, suggesting that our
                 exact bounds can significantly improve on assessing DC
                 costs when using diameters.",

  abstract =     "Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are powerful tools for
                 multiple sequence alignment (MSA), which is known to be
                 an NP-complete and important problem in bioinformatics.
                 Learning HMMs is a difficult task, and many
                 meta-heuristic methods, including particle swarm
                 optimization (PSO), have been used for that. In this
                 paper, a new variant of PSO, called the random drift
                 particle swarm optimization (RDPSO) algorithm, is
                 proposed to be used for HMM learning tasks in MSA
                 problems. The proposed RDPSO algorithm, inspired by the
                 free electron model in metal conductors in an external
                 electric field, employs a novel set of evolution
                 equations that can enhance the global search ability of
                 the algorithm. Moreover, in order to further enhance
                 the algorithmic performance of the RDPSO, we
                 incorporate a diversity control method into the
                 algorithm and, thus, propose an RDPSO with
                 diversity-guided search (RDPSODGS). The performances of
                 the RDPSO, RDPSO-DGS and other algorithms are tested
                 and compared by learning HMMs for MSA on two well-known
                 benchmark data sets. The experimental results show that
                 the HMMs learned by the RDPSO and RDPSO-DGS are able to
                 generate better alignments for the benchmark data sets
                 than other most commonly used HMM learning methods,
                 such as the Baum-Welch and other PSO algorithms. The
                 performance comparison with well-known MSA programs,
                 such as ClustalW and MAFFT, also shows that the
                 proposed methods have advantages in multiple sequence
                 alignment.",

  abstract =     "Most phylogenetic analyses result in a sample of
                 trees, but summarizing and visualizing these samples
                 can be challenging. Consensus trees often provide
                 limited information about a sample, and so methods such
                 as consensus networks, clustering and multidimensional
                 scaling have been developed and applied to tree
                 samples. This paper describes a stochastic algorithm
                 for constructing a principal geodesic or line through
                 treespace which is analogous to the first principal
                 component in standard principal components analysis. A
                 principal geodesic summarizes the most variable
                 features of a sample of trees, in terms of both tree
                 topology and branch lengths, and it can be visualized
                 as an animation of smoothly changing trees. The
                 algorithm performs a stochastic search through
                 parameter space for a geodesic which minimizes the sum
                 of squared projected distances of the data points. This
                 procedure aims to identify the globally optimal
                 principal geodesic, though convergence to locally
                 optimal geodesics is possible. The methodology is
                 illustrated by constructing principal geodesics for
                 experimental and simulated data sets, demonstrating the
                 insight into samples of trees that can be gained and

                 mathematical model of computation used to design both
                 computer programs and sequential logic circuits.
                 Considered as an abstract model of computation, FSM is
                 weak; it has less computational power than some other
                 models of computation such as the Turing machine. This
                 paper discusses the finite-state automata based on
                 Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) and different
                 implementations of DNA FSMs. Moreover, a comparison was
                 made to clarify the advantages and disadvantages of
                 each kind of presented DNA FSMS. Since it is a major
                 goal for nanoscince, nanotechnology and super molecular
                 chemistry is to design synthetic molecular devices that
                 are programmable and run autonomously. Programmable
                 means that the behavior of the device can be modified
                 without redesigning the whole structure. Autonomous
                 means that it runs without externally mediated change
                 to the work cycle. In this paper we present an odd

                 makes use of a known design for a DNA nanorobotic
                 device due to Reif and Sahu [1] for executing FSM
                 computations using DNAzymes. The main contribution of

                 device to do a FSM computation known as odd parity
                 checking. We describe in detail finite state automaton
                 built on 10-23 DNAzyme, and give its procedure of
                 design and computation. The design procedure has two
                 major phases: designing the language potential alphabet

                 solve the NP-hard least-squares phylogeny problem by
                 mapping an arbitrary dissimilarity map representing
                 biological data to a tree metric. The set of all
                 dissimilarity maps is a Euclidean space properly
                 containing the space of all tree metrics as a
                 polyhedral fan. Outputs of distance-based tree
                 reconstruction algorithms such as UPGMA and
                 neighbor-joining are points in the maximal cones in the
                 fan. Tree metrics with polytomies lie at the
                 intersections of maximal cones. A phylogenetic
                 algorithm divides the space of all dissimilarity maps

                 reconstructed by the algorithm. Comparison of
                 phylogenetic methods can be done by comparing the
                 geometry of these regions. We use polyhedral geometry
                 to compare the local nature of the subdivisions induced

                 Developing hypotheses about a gene transcriptional
                 network, based on time course gene expression data is
                 an important and very challenging problem. In many

                 the two main goals of a fuzzy expert system based
                 microarray data classification. Our previous Genetic
                 Swarm Algorithm (GSA) approach has improved the
                 classification accuracy of the fuzzy expert system at
                 the cost of their interpretability. The if-then rules
                 produced by the GSA are lengthy and complex which is
                 difficult for the physician to understand. To address
                 this interpretability-accuracy tradeoff, the rule set
                 is represented using integer numbers and the task of
                 rule generation is treated as a combinatorial
                 optimization task. Ant colony optimization (ACO) with
                 local and global pheromone updations are applied to
                 find out the fuzzy partition based on the gene
                 expression values for generating simpler rule set. In
                 order to address the formless and continuous expression

                 colony (ABC) algorithm to evolve the points of
                 membership function. Mutual Information is used for
                 identification of informative genes. The performance of
                 the proposed hybrid Ant Bee Algorithm (ABA) is
                 evaluated using six gene expression data sets. From the
                 simulation study, it is found that the proposed

                 DNA and protein sequence is of fundamental importance
                 in modern molecular biology. To perform DNA and protein
                 sequence similarity search efficiently, seeding (or
                 filtration) method has been widely used where only
                 sequences sharing a common pattern or ``seed'' are
                 subject to detailed comparison. Therefore these methods
                 trade search sensitivity with search speed. In this
                 paper, we introduce a new seeding method, called spaced
                 $k$-mer neighbors, which provides a better tradeoff
                 between the sensitivity and speed in protein sequence
                 similarity search. With the method of spaced $k$-mer
                 neighbors, for each spaced $k$-mer, a set of spaced
                 $k$-mers is selected as its neighbors. These

                 viability under a variety of conditions. There are many
                 experimental and computational methods developed to
                 identify essential proteins. Computational prediction
                 of essential proteins based on the global
                 protein-protein interaction (PPI) network is severely
                 restricted because of the insufficiency of the PPI
                 data, but fortunately the gene expression profiles help
                 to make up the deficiency. In this work, Pearson
                 correlation coefficient (PCC) is used to bridge the gap
                 between PPI and gene expression data. Based on PCC and
                 edge clustering coefficient (ECC), a new centrality
                 measure, i.e., the weighted degree centrality (WDC), is
                 developed to achieve the reliable prediction of
                 essential proteins. WDC is employed to identify
                 essential proteins in the yeast PPI and e-Coli networks
                 in order to estimate its performance. For comparison,
                 other prediction technologies are also performed to
                 identify essential proteins. Some evaluation methods
                 are used to analyze the results from various prediction
                 approaches. The prediction results and comparative

  abstract =     "Electron cryomicroscopy is becoming a major
                 experimental technique in solving the structures of
                 large molecular assemblies. More and more
                 three-dimensional images have been obtained at the
                 medium resolutions between 5 and 10{\AA}. At this
                 resolution range, major $ \alpha $-helices can be
                 detected as cylindrical sticks and \beta -sheets can be
                 detected as plain-like regions. A critical question in
                 de novo modeling from cryo-EM images is to determine
                 the match between the detected secondary structures
                 from the image and those on the protein sequence. We
                 formulate this matching problem into a constrained
                 graph problem and present an $ O(\Delta^2 N^2 2^N)$
                 algorithm to this NP-Hard problem. The algorithm
                 incorporates the dynamic programming approach into a
                 constrained $k$-shortest path algorithm. Our method,
                 DP-TOSS, has been tested using $ \alpha $-proteins with
                 maximum 33 helices and $ \alpha $--$ \beta $ proteins
                 up to five helices and 12 \beta -strands. The correct
                 match was ranked within the top 35 for 19 of the 20 $
                 \alpha $-proteins and all nine $ \alpha $--$ \beta $
                 proteins tested. The results demonstrate that DP-TOSS
                 improves accuracy, time and memory space in deriving
                 the topologies of the secondary structure elements for
                 proteins with a large number of secondary structures

                 necessitate computation of semantic similarity of GO
                 terms and, in turn, measurement of functional
                 similarity of genes based on their annotations. In this
                 paper we propose a novel and efficient method to
                 measure the semantic similarity of GO terms. The
                 proposed method addresses the limitations in existing
                 GO term similarity measurement techniques; it computes
                 the semantic content of a GO term by considering the
                 information content of all of its ancestor terms in the
                 graph. The aggregate information content (AIC) of all
                 ancestor terms of a GO term implicitly reflects the GO
                 term's location in the GO graph and also represents how
                 human beings use this GO term and all its ancestor
                 terms to annotate genes. We show that semantic
                 similarity of GO terms obtained by our method closely
                 matches the human perception. Extensive experimental
                 studies show that this novel method also outperforms

                 duplication history of a gene family, the gene (family)
                 tree is compared to the corresponding species tree.
                 Incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) gives rise to
                 stochastic variation in the topology of a gene tree and
                 hence likely introduces false duplication events when a

                 effect of ILS on gene duplication inference in a
                 species tree in terms of the expected number of false
                 duplication events inferred from reconciling a random
                 gene tree, which occurs with a probability predicted in
                 coalescent theory, and the species tree. We

                 effect of ILS on duplication inference in a species
                 tree and its topological parameters. Our findings

                 takes gene tree topology into account, the ILS-induced

                 large-scale protein-protein interaction (PPI) data at
                 an ever increasing pace, which enable us to identify
                 protein complexes from PPI networks. Pair-wise protein
                 interactions can be modeled as a graph, where vertices
                 represent proteins and edges represent PPIs. However
                 most of current algorithms detect protein complexes
                 based on deterministic graphs, whose edges are either
                 present or absent. Neighboring information is neglected
                 in these methods. Based on the uncertain graph model,
                 we propose the concept of expected density to assess
                 the density degree of a subgraph, the concept of
                 relative degree to describe the relationship between a
                 protein and a subgraph in a PPI network. We develop an
                 algorithm called DCU (detecting complex based on

                 networks. In our method, the expected density combined
                 with the relative degree is used to determine whether a
                 subgraph represents a complex with high cohesion and
                 low coupling. We apply our method and the existing
                 competing algorithms to two yeast PPI networks.
                 Experimental results indicate that our method performs
                 significantly better than the state-of-the-art methods
                 and the proposed model can provide more insights for

                 important step towards the protein structure prediction
                 problem. Despite all the efforts that have been made so
                 far, finding an accurate and fast computational
                 approach to solve the PFR still remains a challenging
                 problem for bioinformatics and computational biology.
                 In this study, we propose the concept of
                 segmented-based feature extraction technique to provide
                 local evolutionary information embedded in position
                 specific scoring matrix (PSSM) and structural
                 information embedded in the predicted secondary
                 structure of proteins using SPINE-X. We also employ the
                 concept of occurrence feature to extract global
                 discriminatory information from PSSM and SPINE-X. By
                 applying a support vector machine (SVM) to our
                 extracted features, we enhance the protein fold
                 prediction accuracy for 7.4 percent over the best
                 results reported in the literature. We also report 73.8
                 percent prediction accuracy for a data set consisting
                 of proteins with less than 25 percent sequence
                 similarity rates and 80.7 percent prediction accuracy
                 for a data set with proteins belonging to 110 folds
                 with less than 40 percent sequence similarity rates. We
                 also investigate the relation between the number of
                 folds and the number of features being used and show
                 that the number of features should be increased to get
                 better protein fold prediction results when the number
                 of folds is relatively large.",

                 in the analysis of the gene expression data from cancer
                 perspective. Due to improvements in biometric
                 instrumentation and automation, it has become easier to
                 collect a lot of experimental data in molecular
                 biology. Analysis of such data is extremely important
                 as it leads to knowledge discovery that can be
                 validated by experiments. Previously, the diagnosis of
                 complex genetic diseases has conventionally been done

                 significant functions of a protein family. Existing
                 combinatorial methods of discovering patterns with
                 variations are computationally expensive, and
                 probabilistic methods require more elaborate
                 probabilistic representation of the amino acid
                 associations. To overcome these shortcomings, this
                 paper presents a new computationally efficient method
                 for representing patterns with variations in a compact
                 representation called Aligned Pattern Cluster (AP
                 Cluster). To tackle the runtime, our method discovers a
                 shortened list of non-redundant statistically
                 significant sequence associations based on our previous
                 work. To address the representation of protein
                 functional regions, our pattern alignment and
                 clustering step, presented in this paper captures the
                 conservations and variations of the aligned patterns.
                 We further refine our solution to allow more coverage
                 of sequences via extending the AP Clusters containing
                 only statistically significant patterns to Weak and
                 Conserved AP Clusters. When applied to the cytochrome
                 c, the ubiquitin, and the triosephosphate isomerase
                 protein families, our algorithm identifies the binding
                 segments as well as the binding residues. When compared
                 to other methods, ours discovers all binding sites in
                 the AP Clusters with superior entropy and coverage. The
                 identification of patterns with variations help
                 biologists to avoid time-consuming simulations and
                 experimentations. (Software available upon request).",

                 grand challenges in computational biology. Multi-label
                 learning is widely used to predict functions of
                 proteins. Most of multi-label learning methods make
                 prediction for unlabeled proteins under the assumption
                 that the labeled proteins are completely annotated,
                 i.e., without any missing functions. However, in
                 practice, we may have a subset of the ground-truth
                 functions for a protein, and whether the protein has
                 other functions is unknown. To predict protein
                 functions with incomplete annotations, we propose a
                 Protein Function Prediction method with Weak-label
                 Learning (ProWL) and its variant ProWL-IF. Both ProWL
                 and ProWL-IF can replenish the missing functions of
                 proteins. In addition, ProWL-IF makes use of the
                 knowledge that a protein cannot have certain functions,
                 which can further boost the performance of protein
                 function prediction. Our experimental results on
                 protein-protein interaction networks and gene
                 expression benchmarks validate the effectiveness of
                 both ProWL and ProWL-IF.",

                 processes such as learning, apoptosis, and muscular
                 movement. The transient profile and the temporal
                 accumulation of calcium signals have been suggested as
                 the two main characteristics in which calcium cues
                 encode messages to be forwarded to downstream pathways.
                 We address the analytical quantification of calcium
                 temporal-accumulation in a long, thin section of a
                 nonexcitable cell by solving a boundary value problem.
                 In these expressions we note that the cytosolic
                 Ca$^{2+}$ accumulation is independent of every
                 intracellular calcium flux and depends on the Ca$^{2+}$
                 exchange across the membrane, cytosolic calcium
                 diffusion, geometry of the cell, extracellular calcium
                 perturbation, and initial concentrations. In
                 particular, we analyse the time-integrated response of
                 cytosolic calcium due to (i) a localised initial
                 concentration of cytosolic calcium and (ii) transient
                 extracellular perturbation of calcium. In these
                 scenarios, we conclude that (i) the range of calcium
                 progression is confined to the vicinity of the initial
                 concentration, thereby creating calcium microdomains;
                 and (ii) we observe a low-pass filtering effect in the
                 response driven by extracellular Ca$^{2+}$
                 perturbations. Additionally, we note that our
                 methodology can be used to analyse a broader range of

                 detects cell regions automatically in the human
                 embryonic stem cell (hESC) images obtained using a
                 phase contrast microscope. The algorithm uses both
                 statistical intensity distributions of foreground/hESCs
                 and background/substrate as well as cell property for
                 cell region detection. The intensity distributions of
                 foreground/hESCs and background/substrate are modeled
                 as a mixture of two Gaussians. The cell property is
                 translated into local spatial information. The
                 algorithm is optimized by parameters of the modeled
                 distributions and cell regions evolve with the local
                 cell property. The paper validates the method with
                 various videos acquired using different microscope
                 objectives. In comparison with the state-of-the-art
                 methods, the proposed method is able to detect the
                 entire cell region instead of fragmented cell regions.
                 It also yields high marks on measures such as Jacard
                 similarity, Dice coefficient, sensitivity and
                 specificity. Automated detection by the proposed method
                 has the potential to enable fast quantifiable analysis

  abstract =     "Identification of protein complexes is critical to
                 understand complex formation and protein functions.
                 Recent advances in high-throughput experiments have
                 provided large data sets of protein-protein
                 interactions (PPIs). Many approaches, based on the
                 assumption that complexes are dense subgraphs of PPI
                 networks (PINs in short), have been proposed to predict
                 complexes using graph clustering methods. In this
                 paper, we introduce a novel
                 from-function-to-interaction paradigm for protein
                 complex detection. As proteins perform biological
                 functions by forming complexes, we first cluster
                 proteins using biology process (BP) annotations from
                 gene ontology (GO). Then, we map the resulting protein
                 clusters onto a PPI network (PIN in short), extract
                 connected subgraphs consisting of clustered proteins
                 from the PPI network and expand each connected subgraph
                 with protein nodes that have rich links to the proteins
                 in the subgraph. Such expanded subgraphs are taken as
                 predicted complexes. We apply the proposed method
                 (called CPredictor) to two PPI data sets of S.
                 cerevisiae for predicting protein complexes.
                 Experimental results show that CPredictor outperforms
                 the existing methods. The outstanding precision of
                 CPredictor proves that the from-function-to-interaction
                 paradigm provides a new and effective way to
                 computational detection of protein complexes.",

  abstract =     "The cell-type diversity is to a large degree driven by
                 transcription regulation, i.e., enhancers. It has been
                 recently shown that in high-level eukaryotes enhancers
                 rarely work alone, instead they collaborate by forming
                 clusters of cis-regulatory modules (CRMs). Even if the
                 binding of transcription factors is sequence-specific,
                 the identification of functionally similar enhancers is
                 very difficult. A similarity measure to detect related
                 regulatory sequences is crucial to understand
                 functional correlation between two enhancers. This will
                 allow large-scale analyses, clustering and genome-wide
                 classifications. In this paper we present Under 2, a
                 parameter-free alignment-free statistic based on
                 variable-length words. As opposed to traditional
                 alignment-free methods, which are based on fixed-length
                 patterns or, in other words, tied to a fixed
                 resolution, our statistic is built upon variable-length
                 words, and thus multiple resolutions are allowed. This
                 will capture the great variability of lengths of CRMs.
                 We evaluate several alignment-free statistics on
                 simulated data and real ChIP-seq sequences. The new
                 statistic is highly successful in discriminating
                 functionally related enhancers and, in almost all
                 experiments, it outperforms fixed-resolution methods.
                 Finally, experiments on mouse enhancers show that
                 Under2 can separate enhancers active in different
                 tissues. Availability:

  abstract =     "Nucleosomes are basic elements of chromatin structure.
                 The positioning of nucleosomes along a genome is very
                 important to dictate eukaryotic DNA compaction and
                 access. Current computational methods have focused on
                 the analysis of nucleosome occupancy and the
                 positioning of well-positioned nucleosomes. However,
                 fuzzy nucleosomes require more complex configurations
                 and are more difficult to predict their positions. We
                 analyzed the positioning of well-positioned and fuzzy
                 nucleosomes from a novel structural perspective, and
                 proposed WaveNuc, a computational approach for
                 inferring their positions based on continuous wavelet
                 transformation. The comparative analysis demonstrates
                 that these two kinds of nucleosomes exhibit different
                 propeller twist structural characteristics.
                 Well-positioned nucleosomes tend to locate at sharp
                 peaks of the propeller twist profile, whereas fuzzy
                 nucleosomes correspond to broader peaks. The sharpness
                 of these peaks shows that the propeller twist profile
                 may contain nucleosome positioning information.
                 Exploiting this knowledge, we applied WaveNuc to detect
                 the two different kinds of peaks of the propeller twist
                 profile along the genome. We compared the performance
                 of our method with existing methods on real data sets.
                 The results show that the proposed method can

                 interaction between numerous regulatory sequences and
                 binding sites, however, such interactions have been
                 primarily explored by laboratory methods since
                 computational tools largely ignore the relationship
                 between different splicing elements. Current
                 computational methods identify either splice sites or
                 other regulatory sequences, such as enhancers and
                 silencers. We present a novel approach for
                 characterizing co-occurring relationships between
                 splice site motifs and splicing enhancers. Our approach
                 relies on an efficient algorithm for approximately
                 solving Consensus Sequence with Outliers, an
                 NP-complete string clustering problem. In particular,
                 we give an algorithm for this problem that outputs
                 near-optimal solutions in polynomial time. To our
                 knowledge, this is the first formulation and
                 computational attempt for detecting co-occurring
                 sequence elements in RNA sequence data. Further, we
                 demonstrate that SeeSite is capable of showing that
                 certain ESEs are preferentially associated with weaker
                 splice sites, and that there exists a co-occurrence

                 more difficult. In biomedicine field, skewed data type

                 generation strategy that is called feature subspace

                 as a signal to reconstruct phylogenies and ancestral
                 genomes. Inferring the gene order of an extinct species
                 has a wide range of applications, including the
                 potential to reveal more detailed evolutionary
                 histories, to determine gene content and ordering, and
                 to understand the consequences of structural changes
                 for organismal function and species divergence. In this
                 study, we propose a new adjacency-based method, PMAG+,
                 to infer ancestral genomes under a more general model
                 of gene evolution involving gene insertions and
                 deletions (indels), in addition to gene rearrangements.
                 PMAG+ improves on our previous method PMAG by
                 developing a new approach to infer ancestral gene
                 contents and reducing the adjacency assembly problem to
                 an instance of TSP. We designed a series of experiments
                 to extensively validate PMAG+ and compared the results
                 with the most recent and comparable method GapAdj.
                 According to the results, ancestral gene contents
                 predicted by PMAG+ coincides highly with the actual
                 contents with error rates less than 1 percent. Under
                 various degrees of indels, PMAG+ consistently achieves
                 more accurate prediction of ancestral gene orders and
                 at the same time, produces contigs very close to the
                 actual chromosomes.",

                 insight into biological systems from large-scale life
                 science data. To quantify the similarities among
                 biological data sets, Pearson correlation distance and
                 standardized Euclidean distance are used most
                 frequently; however, optimization methods have been
                 largely unexplored. These two distance measurements are
                 equivalent in the sense that they yield the same
                 $k$-means clustering result for identical sets of $k$
                 initial centroids. Thus, an efficient algorithm used

                 differentiable light-induced locomotor response (LLR),
                 which is composed of visual and non-visual components.
                 It is recently demonstrated that differences in the
                 acute phase of the LLR, also known as the visual motor
                 response (VMR), can be utilized to evaluate new eye
                 drugs. However, most of the previous studies focused on
                 the average LLR activity of a particular genotype,
                 which left information that could address differences
                 in individual zebrafish development unattended. In this
                 study, machine learning techniques were employed to
                 distinguish not only zebrafish larvae of different
                 genotypes, but also different batches, based on their
                 response to light stimuli. This approach allows us to
                 perform efficient high-throughput zebrafish screening
                 with relatively simple preparations. Following the
                 general machine learning framework, some discriminative

                 Both unsupervised and supervised learning algorithms
                 were implemented for the classification of zebrafish of
                 different genotypes and batches. The accuracy of the
                 classification in genotype was over 80 percent and
                 could achieve up to 95 percent in some cases. The
                 results obtained shed light on the potential of using
                 machine learning techniques for analyzing behavioral
                 data of zebrafish, which may enhance the reliability of

                 circuit design based on an existing synthetic genetic
                 oscillator, which provides a function of frequency
                 multiplier to synthesize a clock signal whose frequency
                 is a multiple of that of the genetic oscillator. In the
                 renowned literature, the synthetic genetic oscillator,
                 known as a repressilator, has been successfully built
                 in Escherichia coli to generate a periodic oscillating
                 phenomenon through three repressive genes repress each
                 other in a chain. On the basis of this fact, our
                 proposed genetic frequency multiplier circuit utilizes
                 genetic Buffers in series with a waveform-shaping
                 circuit to reshape the genetic oscillation signal into
                 a crisp logic clock signal. By regulating different
                 threshold levels in the Buffer, the time length of
                 logic high/low levels in a fundamental sinusoidal wave
                 can be engineered to pulse-width-modulated (PWM)
                 signals with various duty cycles. Integrating some of
                 genetic logic XOR gates and PWM signals from the output
                 of the Buffers, a genetic frequency multiplier circuit
                 can be created and the clock signal with the
                 integer-fold of frequency of the genetic oscillator is
                 generated. The synthesized signal can be used in
                 triggering the downstream digital genetic logic
                 circuits. Simulation results show the applicability of
                 the proposed idea.",

  abstract =     "Accurate and robust detection of myonuclei in isolated
                 single muscle fibers is required to calculate
                 myonuclear domain size. However, this task is
                 challenging because: (1) shape and size variations of
                 the nuclei, (2) overlapping nuclear clumps, and (3)
                 multiple $z$-stack images with out-of-focus regions. In
                 this paper, we have proposed a novel automatic
                 detection algorithm to robustly quantify myonuclei in
                 isolated single skeletal muscle fibers. The original
                 $z$-stack images are first converted into one
                 all-in-focus image using multi-focus image fusion. A
                 sufficient number of ellipse fitting hypotheses are
                 then generated from the myonuclei contour segments
                 using heteroscedastic errors-in-variables (HEIV)
                 regression. A set of representative training samples
                 and a set of discriminative features are selected by a
                 two-stage sparse model. The selected samples with
                 representative features are utilized to train a
                 classifier to select the best candidates. A modified
                 inner geodesic distance based mean-shift clustering
                 algorithm is used to produce the final nuclei detection
                 results. The proposed method was extensively tested
                 using 42 sets of $z$-stack images containing over 1,500
                 myonuclei. The method demonstrates excellent results
                 that are better than current state-of-the-art
                 approaches.",

  abstract =     "Tumor clustering is one of the important techniques
                 for tumor discovery from cancer gene expression
                 profiles, which is useful for the diagnosis and
                 treatment of cancer. While different algorithms have
                 been proposed for tumor clustering, few make use of the
                 expert's knowledge to better the performance of tumor
                 discovery. In this paper, we first view the expert's
                 knowledge as constraints in the process of clustering,
                 and propose a feature selection based semi-supervised
                 cluster ensemble framework (FS-SSCE) for tumor
                 clustering from bio-molecular data. Compared with
                 traditional tumor clustering approaches, the proposed
                 framework FS-SSCE is featured by two properties: (1)
                 The adoption of feature selection techniques to dispel
                 the effect of noisy genes. (2) The employment of the
                 binate constraint based K-means algorithm to take into
                 account the effect of experts' knowledge. Then, a
                 double selection based semi-supervised cluster ensemble
                 framework (DS-SSCE) which not only applies the feature
                 selection technique to perform gene selection on the
                 gene dimension, but also selects an optimal subset of
                 representative clustering solutions in the ensemble and
                 improve the performance of tumor clustering using the
                 normalized cut algorithm. DS-SSCE also introduces a
                 confidence factor into the process of constructing the
                 consensus matrix by considering the prior knowledge of
                 the data set. Finally, we design a modified double
                 selection based semi-supervised cluster ensemble
                 framework (MDS-SSCE) which adopts multiple clustering
                 solution selection strategies and an aggregated
                 solution selection function to choose an optimal subset
                 of clustering solutions. The results in the experiments
                 on cancer gene expression profiles show that (i)
                 FS-SSCE, DS-SSCE and MDS-SSCE are suitable for
                 performing tumor clustering from bio-molecular data.
                 (ii) MDS-SSCE outperforms a number of state-of-the-art
                 tumor clustering approaches on most of the data sets.",

  abstract =     "Validity indices have been investigated for decades.
                 However, since there is no study of noise-resistance
                 performance of these indices in the literature, there
                 is no guideline for determining the best clustering in
                 noisy data sets, especially microarray data sets. In
                 this paper, we propose a generalized parametric
                 validity (GPV) index which employs two tunable
                 parameters $ \alpha $ and $ \beta $ to control the
                 proportions of objects being considered to calculate
                 the dissimilarities. The greatest advantage of the
                 proposed GPV index is its noise-resistance ability,
                 which results from the flexibility of tuning the
                 parameters. Several rules are set to guide the
                 selection of parameter values. To illustrate the
                 noise-resistance performance of the proposed index, we
                 evaluate the GPV index for assessing five clustering
                 algorithms in two gene expression data simulation
                 models with different noise levels and compare the
                 ability of determining the number of clusters with
                 eight existing indices. We also test the GPV in three
                 groups of real gene expression data sets. The
                 experimental results suggest that the proposed GPV
                 index has superior noise-resistance ability and
                 provides fairly accurate judgements.",

                 biology and in the past decade, an increasing number of
                 pathway databases have been set up to document the
                 growing understanding of complex cellular processes.
                 Although more genome-sequence data are becoming
                 available, a large fraction of it remains functionally
                 uncharacterized. Thus, it is important to be able to
                 predict the mapping of poorly annotated proteins to
                 original pathway models. Results: We have developed a
                 Relational Learning-based Extension (RLE) system to
                 investigate pathway membership through a function
                 prediction approach that mainly relies on combinations
                 of simple properties attributed to each protein. RLE
                 searches for proteins with molecular similarities to
                 specific pathway components. Using RLE, we associated
                 383 uncharacterized proteins to 28 pre-defined human
                 Reactome pathways, demonstrating relative confidence
                 after proper evaluation. Indeed, in specific cases
                 manual inspection of the database annotations and the
                 related literature supported the proposed
                 classifications. Examples of possible additional

                 they can predict drugs' unexpected therapeutic or
                 adverse side effects. In silico predictions of
                 potential interactions are valuable and can focus
                 effort on in vitro experiments. We propose a prediction
                 framework that represents the problem using a bipartite
                 graph of drug-target interactions augmented with
                 drug-drug and target-target similarity measures and
                 makes predictions using probabilistic soft logic (PSL).
                 Using probabilistic rules in PSL, we predict
                 interactions with models based on triad and tetrad
                 structures. We apply (blocking) techniques that make
                 link prediction in PSL more efficient for drug-target
                 interaction prediction. We then perform extensive
                 experimental studies to highlight different aspects of
                 the model and the domain, first comparing the models
                 with different structures and then measuring the effect
                 of the proposed blocking on the prediction performance
                 and efficiency. We demonstrate the importance of rule
                 weight learning in the proposed PSL model and then show
                 that PSL can effectively make use of a variety of
                 similarity measures. We perform an experiment to
                 validate the importance of collective inference and
                 using multiple similarity measures for accurate
                 predictions in contrast to non-collective and single
                 similarity assumptions. Finally, we illustrate that our
                 PSL model achieves state-of-the-art performance with
                 simple, interpretable rules and evaluate our novel
                 predictions using online data sets.",

  abstract =     "The process of mapping markers from radiation hybrid
                 mapping (RHM) experiments is equivalent to the
                 traveling salesman problem and, thereby, has
                 combinatorial complexity. As an additional problem,
                 experiments typically result in some unreliable markers
                 that reduce the overall quality of the map. We propose
                 a clustering approach for addressing both problems
                 efficiently by eliminating unreliable markers without
                 the need for mapping the complete set of markers.
                 Traditional approaches for eliminating markers use
                 resampling of the full data set, which has an even
                 higher computational complexity than the original
                 mapping problem. In contrast, the proposed approach
                 uses a divide-and-conquer strategy to construct
                 framework maps based on clusters that exclude
                 unreliable markers. Clusters are ordered using parallel
                 processing and are then combined to form the complete
                 map. We present three algorithms that explore the
                 trade-off between the number of markers included in the
                 map and placement accuracy. Using an RHM data set of
                 the human genome, we compare the framework maps from
                 our proposed approaches with published physical maps
                 and with the results of using the Carthagene tool.
                 Overall, our approaches have a very low computational
                 complexity and produce solid framework maps with good
                 chromosome coverage and high agreement with the
                 physical map marker order.",

  abstract =     "Identifying patterns in temporal data is key to
                 uncover meaningful relationships in diverse domains,
                 from stock trading to social interactions. Also of
                 great interest are clinical and biological
                 applications, namely monitoring patient response to
                 treatment or characterizing activity at the molecular
                 level. In biology, researchers seek to gain insight
                 into gene functions and dynamics of biological
                 processes, as well as potential perturbations of these
                 leading to disease, through the study of patterns
                 emerging from gene expression time series. Clustering
                 can group genes exhibiting similar expression profiles,
                 but focuses on global patterns denoting rather broad,
                 unspecific responses. Biclustering reveals local
                 patterns, which more naturally capture the intricate
                 collaboration between biological players, particularly
                 under a temporal setting. Despite the general
                 biclustering formulation being NP-hard, considering
                 specific properties of time series has led to efficient
                 solutions for the discovery of temporally aligned
                 patterns. Notably, the identification of biclusters
                 with time-lagged patterns, suggestive of
                 transcriptional cascades, remains a challenge due to
                 the combinatorial explosion of delayed occurrences.
                 Herein, we propose LateBiclustering, a sensible
                 heuristic algorithm enabling a polynomial rather than
                 exponential time solution for the problem. We show that
                 it identifies meaningful time-lagged biclusters
                 relevant to the response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to
                 heat stress.",

                 structure by combining the cohesion and the support of
                 the pattern. We propose two ways to build the itemset

                 The usefulness of the method is demonstrated by

                 takes as input sequencing reads for both germline and

                 mutations in the form of short ranked list of the most
                 affected genes in the tumor, using either the Complete
                 Genomics or Illumina platforms. A novel reporting and
                 ranking system has been developed that makes use of
                 publicly available datasets and literature specific to
                 each patient, including new methods for using publicly
                 available expression data in the absence of proper
                 control data. Previously implicated small and large
                 variations (including gene fusions) are reported in
                 addition to probable driver mutations. Relationships
                 between cancer and the sequenced tumor genome are

                 subject sequences stored in the databases is a critical
                 job in the bioinformatics. Fortunately, recent survey
                 reports that the state-of-the-art aligners are already
                 fast enough to handle the ultra amount of short
                 sequence reads in the reasonable time. However, for
                 aligning the long sequence reads ({$>$400} bp)
                 generated by the next generation sequencing (NGS)
                 technology, it is still quite inefficient with present
                 aligners. Furthermore, the challenge becomes more and
                 more serious as the lengths and the amounts of the
                 sequence reads are both keeping increasing with the
                 improvement of the sequencing technology. Thus, it is
                 extremely urgent for the researchers to enhance the
                 performance of the long read alignment. In this paper,
                 we propose a novel FPGA-based system to improve the
                 efficiency of the long read mapping. Compared to the
                 state-of-the-art long read aligner BWA-SW, our
                 accelerating platform could achieve a high performance
                 with almost the same sensitivity. Experiments
                 demonstrate that, for reads with lengths ranging from
                 512 up to 4,096 base pairs, the described system
                 obtains a 10 $ \times $ -48$ \times $ speedup for the
                 bottleneck of the software. As to the whole mapping
                 procedure, the FPGA-based platform could achieve a 1:8$
                 \times $ -3:3$ \times $ speedup versus the BWA-SW
                 aligner, reducing the alignment cycles from weeks to

                 which aims at facilitating the interpretation of
                 genetic information. In order to characterize the DNA
                 of living organisms, signal processing tools appear to

  abstract =     "To calculate similarities between molecular
                 structures, measures based on the maximum common
                 subgraph are frequently applied. For the comparison of
                 protein binding sites, these measures are not fully
                 appropriate since graphs representing binding sites on
                 a detailed atomic level tend to get very large. In
                 combination with an NP-hard problem, a large graph
                 leads to a computationally demanding task. Therefore,
                 for the comparison of binding sites, a less detailed
                 coarse graph model is used building upon so-called
                 pseudocenters. Consistently, a loss of structural data
                 is caused since many atoms are discarded and no
                 information about the shape of the binding site is
                 considered. This is usually resolved by performing
                 subsequent calculations based on additional
                 information. These steps are usually quite expensive,
                 making the whole approach very slow. The main drawback
                 of a graph-based model solely based on pseudocenters,
                 however, is the loss of information about the shape of
                 the protein surface. In this study, we propose a novel
                 and efficient modeling formalism that does not increase
                 the size of the graph model compared to the original
                 approach, but leads to graphs containing considerably
                 more information assigned to the nodes. More
                 specifically, additional descriptors considering
                 surface characteristics are extracted from the local
                 surface and attributed to the pseudocenters stored in
                 Cavbase. These properties are evaluated as additional
                 node labels, which lead to a gain of information and
                 allow for much faster but still very accurate
                 comparisons between different structures.",

                 challenging. As the number of sequenced genomes rapidly
                 grows, the vast majority of proteins can only be
                 annotated computationally. Nature often brings several
                 domains together to form multidomain and
                 multi-functional proteins with a vast number of
                 possibilities, and each domain may fulfill its own
                 function independently or in a concerted manner with
                 its neighbors. Thus, it is evident that the protein
                 function prediction problem is naturally and inherently
                 Multi-Instance Multi-Label (MIML) learning tasks. Based

  abstract =     "Understanding genetic differences among populations is
                 one of the most important issues in population
                 genetics. Genetic variations, e.g., single nucleotide
                 polymorphisms, are used to characterize commonality and
                 difference of individuals from various populations.
                 This paper presents an efficient graph-based clustering
                 framework which operates iteratively on the
                 Neighbor-Joining (NJ) tree called the iNJclust
                 algorithm. The framework uses well-known genetic
                 measurements, namely the allele-sharing distance, the
                 neighbor-joining tree, and the fixation index. The
                 behavior of the fixation index is utilized in the
                 algorithm's stopping criterion. The algorithm provides
                 an estimated number of populations, individual
                 assignments, and relationships between populations as
                 outputs. The clustering result is reported in the form
                 of a binary tree, whose terminal nodes represent the
                 final inferred populations and the tree structure
                 preserves the genetic relationships among them. The
                 clustering performance and the robustness of the
                 proposed algorithm are tested extensively using
                 simulated and real data sets from bovine, sheep, and
                 human populations. The result indicates that the number
                 of populations within each data set is reasonably
                 estimated, the individual assignment is robust, and the
                 structure of the inferred population tree corresponds
                 to the intrinsic relationships among populations within
                 the data.",

                 been proposed to uncover phosphorylation motifs,

                 significant motifs with sufficiently high coverage and

                 a novel notion called conditional phosphorylation
                 motifs. Through this new concept, the motifs whose
                 over-expressiveness mainly benefits from its
                 constituting parts can be filtered out effectively. To

                 an algorithm called C-Motif for a non-redundant

                 C-Motif is implemented under the Apriori framework, and

                 to both evolutionary biology and population genetics.
                 Missing values are a common occurrence in both sequence
                 and genotype data, but they make the problem of finding
                 a perfect phylogeny NP-hard even for binary characters.
                 We introduce new and efficient perfect phylogeny
                 algorithms for broad classes of binary and multistate
                 data with missing values. Specifically, we address
                 binary missing data consistent with the rich data
                 hypothesis (RDH) introduced by Halperin and Karp and
                 give an efficient algorithm for enumerating
                 phylogenies. This algorithm is useful for computing the
                 probability of data with missing values under the
                 coalescent model. In addition, we use the partition
                 intersection (PI) graph and chordal graph theory to
                 generalize the RDH to multi-state characters with
                 missing values. For a bounded number of states, we
                 provide a fixed parameter tractable algorithm for the
                 perfect phylogeny problem with missing data. Utilizing
                 the PI graph, we are able to show that under multiple
                 biologically motivated models for character data, our
                 generalized RDH holds with high probability, and we

                 objects is well established in the clustering
                 literature, which comprehends several studies on the
                 analysis of the properties of similarity measures for
                 comparing partitions. However, similarity measures for
                 clusterings are not readily applicable to
                 biclusterings, since each bicluster is a tuple of two
                 sets (of rows and columns), whereas a cluster is only a
                 single set (of rows). Some biclustering similarity
                 measures have been defined as minor contributions in
                 papers which primarily report on proposals and
                 evaluation of biclustering algorithms or comparative
                 analyses of biclustering algorithms. The consequence is
                 that some desirable properties of such measures have
                 been overlooked in the literature. We review 14
                 biclustering similarity measures. We define eight
                 desirable properties of a biclustering measure, discuss
                 their importance, and prove which properties each of
                 the reviewed measures has. We show examples drawn and
                 inspired from important studies in which several
                 biclustering measures convey misleading evaluations due
                 to the absence of one or more of the discussed
                 properties. We also advocate the use of a more general
                 comparison approach that is based on the idea of
                 transforming the original problem of comparing
                 biclusterings into an equivalent problem of comparing

                 homogeneous and this heterogeneity could not be due to
                 random fluctuations only. Such heterogeneity poses a
                 problem of making sequence segmentation into a set of
                 homogeneous parts divided by the points called ``change
                 points''. In this work we investigated a special case
                 of change points--paired change points (PCP). We used a
                 well-known property of coding sequences--triplet
                 periodicity (TP). The sequences that we are especially
                 interested in consist of three successive parts: the
                 first and the last parts have similar TP while the
                 middle part has different TP type. We aimed to find the
                 genes with PCP and provide explanation for this
                 phenomenon. We developed a mathematical method for the
                 PCP detection based on the new measure of similarity
                 between TP matrices. We investigated 66,936 bacterial
                 genes from 17 bacterial genomes and revealed 2,700
                 genes with PCP and 6,459 genes with single change point
                 (SCP). We developed a mathematical approach to
                 visualize the PCP cases. We suppose that PCP could be
                 associated with double fusion or insertion events. The
                 results of investigating the sequences with artificial

                 networks with different update schemes (synchronized
                 Boolean networks and asynchronous Boolean networks) are
                 investigated. All nodes in Boolean network are
                 represented in terms of semi-tensor product. First, we
                 give the concept of inner synchronization and observe
                 that all nodes in a Boolean network are synchronized
                 with each other. Second, we investigate the outer
                 synchronization between a driving Boolean network and a
                 corresponding response Boolean network. We provide not
                 only the concept of traditional complete
                 synchronization, but also the anti-synchronization and
                 get the anti-synchronization in simulation. Third, we
                 extend the outer synchronization to asynchronous
                 Boolean network and get the complete synchronization
                 between an asynchronous Boolean network and a response

                 on matched samples has sparked research efforts to
                 discover how diverse molecular features interact both
                 within and between platforms. In addition, simultaneous
                 measurements of genetic and epigenetic characteristics
                 illuminate the roles their complex relationships play
                 in disease progression and outcomes. However,
                 integrative methods for diverse genomics data are faced
                 with the challenges of ultra-high dimensionality and
                 the existence of complex interactions both within and
                 between platforms. We propose a novel modeling
                 framework for integrative analysis based on
                 decompositions of the large number of platform-specific
                 features into a smaller number of latent features.
                 Subsequently we build a predictive model for clinical
                 outcomes accounting for both within --- and
                 between-platform interactions based on Bayesian model
                 averaging procedures. Principal components, partial
                 least squares and non-negative matrix factorization as
                 well as sparse counterparts of each are used to define
                 the latent features, and the performance of these
                 decompositions is compared both on real and simulated
                 data. The latent feature interactions are shown to
                 preserve interactions between the original features and
                 not only aid prediction but also allow explicit
                 selection of outcome-related features. The methods are
                 motivated by and applied to a glioblastoma multiforme
                 data set from The Cancer Genome Atlas to predict
                 patient survival times integrating gene expression,
                 microRNA, copy number and methylation data. For the
                 glioblastoma data, we find a high concordance between
                 our selected prognostic genes and genes with known
                 associations with glioblastoma. In addition, our model
                 discovers several relevant cross-platform interactions
                 such as copy number variation associated gene dosing
                 and epigenetic regulation through promoter methylation.
                 On simulated data, we show that our proposed method
                 successfully incorporates interactions within and
                 between genomic platforms to aid accurate prediction
                 and variable selection. Our methods perform best when
                 principal components are used to define the latent
                 features.",

                 requires the ability to predict the sensitivity of a

                 tumor sensitivity to anti-cancer drugs has primarily

                 clinical measurements such as in vivo imaging. Since

                 cancer phenotypes and responses to treatments at the
                 molecular systems level. Specifically, Differential

                 molecular networks between two phenotypic conditions,

                 (MAF) and weak individual effects make genome-wide
                 association studies (GWAS) for rare variant single
                 nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) more difficult when
                 using conventional statistical methods. By aggregating
                 the rare variant effects belonging to the same gene,
                 collapsing is the most common way to enhance the
                 detection of rare variant effects for association
                 analyses with a given trait. In this paper, we propose
                 a novel framework of MAF-based logistic principal
                 component analysis (MLPCA) to derive aggregated
                 statistics by explicitly modeling the correlation
                 between rare variant SNP data, which is categorical.
                 The derived aggregated statistics by MLPCA can then be
                 tested as a surrogate variable in regression models to
                 detect the gene-environment interaction from rare
                 variants. In addition, MLPCA searches for the optimal
                 linear combination from the best subset of rare
                 variants according to MAF that has the maximum
                 association with the given trait. We compared the power
                 of our MLPCA-based methods with four existing
                 collapsing methods in gene-environment interaction
                 association analysis using both our simulation data set
                 and Genetic Analysis Workshop 17 (GAW17) data. Our
                 experimental results have demonstrated that MLPCA on
                 two forms of genotype data representations achieves
                 higher statistical power than those existing methods
                 and can be further improved by introducing the
                 appropriate sparsity penalty. The performance
                 improvement by our MLPCA-based methods result from the
                 derived aggregated statistics by explicitly modeling
                 categorical SNP data and searching for the maximum
                 associated subset of SNPs for collapsing, which helps
                 better capture the combined effect from individual rare

  abstract =     "Complex diseases such as various types of cancer and
                 diabetes are conjectured to be triggered and influenced
                 by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
                 To integrate potential effects from interplay among
                 underlying candidate factors, we propose a new
                 network-based framework to identify effective
                 biomarkers by searching for groups of synergistic risk
                 factors with high predictive power to disease outcome.
                 An interaction network is constructed with node weights
                 representing individual predictive power of candidate
                 factors and edge weights capturing pairwise synergistic
                 interactions among factors. We then formulate this
                 network-based biomarker identification problem as a
                 novel graph optimization model to search for multiple
                 cliques with maximum overall weight, which we denote as
                 the Maximum Weighted Multiple Clique Problem (MWMCP).
                 To achieve optimal or near optimal solutions, both an
                 analytical algorithm based on column generation method
                 and a fast heuristic for large-scale networks have been
                 derived. Our algorithms for MWMCP have been implemented
                 to analyze two biomedical data sets: a Type 1 Diabetes
                 (T1D) data set from the Diabetes Prevention Trial-Type
                 1 (DPT-1) study, and a breast cancer genomics data set
                 for metastasis prognosis. The results demonstrate that
                 our network-based methods can identify important
                 biomarkers with better prediction accuracy compared to
                 the conventional feature selection that only considers
                 individual effects.",

  abstract =     "A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is a sole base
                 change in the DNA sequence and is the most common
                 polymorphism. Detection and annotation of SNPs are
                 among the central topics in biomedical research as SNPs
                 are believed to play important roles on the
                 manifestation of phenotypic events, such as disease
                 susceptibility. To take full advantage of the
                 next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, we propose
                 a Bayesian approach, BM-SNP, to identify SNPs based on
                 the posterior inference using NGS data. In particular,
                 BM-SNP computes the posterior probability of nucleotide
                 variation at each covered genomic position using the
                 contents and frequency of the mapped short reads. The
                 position with a high posterior probability of
                 nucleotide variation is flagged as a potential SNP. We
                 apply BM-SNP to two cell-line NGS data, and the results
                 show a high ratio of overlap ({$>$95} percent) with the
                 dbSNP database. Compared with MAQ, BM-SNP identifies
                 more SNPs that are in dbSNP, with higher quality. The
                 SNPs that are called only by BM-SNP but not in dbSNP
                 may serve as new discoveries. The proposed BM-SNP
                 method integrates information from multiple aspects of
                 NGS data, and therefore achieves high detection power.
                 BM-SNP is fast, capable of processing whole genome data
                 at 20-fold average coverage in a short amount of
                 time.",

  abstract =     "Flow cytometry is able to measure the expressions of
                 multiple proteins simultaneously at the single-cell
                 level. A flow cytometry experiment on one biological
                 sample provides measurements of several protein markers
                 on or inside a large number of individual cells in that
                 sample. Analysis of such data often aims to identify
                 subpopulations of cells with distinct phenotypes.
                 Currently, the most widely used analytical approach in
                 the flow cytometry community is manual gating on a
                 sequence of nested biaxial plots, which is highly
                 subjective, labor intensive, and not exhaustive. To
                 address those issues, a number of methods have been
                 developed to automate the gating analysis by clustering
                 algorithms. However, completely removing the
                 subjectivity can be quite challenging. This paper
                 describes an alternative approach. Instead of
                 automating the analysis, we develop novel
                 visualizations to facilitate manual gating. The
                 proposed method views single-cell data of one
                 biological sample as a high-dimensional point cloud of
                 cells, derives the skeleton of the cloud, and unfolds
                 the skeleton to generate 2D visualizations. We
                 demonstrate the utility of the proposed visualization
                 using real data, and provide quantitative comparison to
                 visualizations generated from principal component
                 analysis and multidimensional scaling.",

                 properties, it is crucial to have access to the
                 three-dimensional structure of the molecule. If
                 experimentally solved structures are not available,
                 comparative modeling techniques can be used to generate
                 useful protein models to subsidize structure-based
                 research projects. In recent years, with Bioinformatics
                 becoming the basis for the study of protein structures,
                 there is a crescent need for the exposure of details
                 about the algorithms behind the software and servers,
                 as well as a need for protocols to guide in silico
                 predictive experiments. In this article, we explore
                 different steps of the comparative modeling technique,
                 such as template identification, sequence alignment,
                 generation of candidate structures and quality
                 assessment, its peculiarities and theoretical

                 perspectives to the study of protein structures through
                 Bioinformatics. We trust that this is a thorough guide

                 delay differential equations, from experimental data is
                 treated in this paper. A two stage approach is adopted:
                 first, combine spline theory and Nonlinear Programming
                 (NLP), the parameter estimation problem is formulated
                 as an optimization problem with only algebraic
                 constraints; then, a new differential evolution (DE)
                 algorithm is proposed to find a feasible solution. The
                 approach is designed to handle problem of realistic
                 size with noisy observation data. Three cases are
                 studied to evaluate the performance of the proposed

                 priori-determined structure and parameters; the other
                 one is a particular biological system with unknown

                 systems require the ad hoc writing of computer code,
                 which is highly dependent on the particular model and
                 burdensome for large systems. We propose a very
                 accurate strategy to overcome this challenge. Its core
                 concept is the conversion of the model into the format
                 of biochemical systems theory (BST), which greatly
                 facilitates the computation of sensitivities. First,
                 the steady state of interest is determined by
                 integrating the model equations toward the steady state
                 and then using a Newton--Raphson method to fine-tune
                 the result. The second step of conversion into the BST
                 format requires several instances of numerical
                 differentiation. The accuracy of this task is ensured
                 by the use of a complex-variable Taylor scheme for all
                 differentiation steps. The proposed strategy is
                 implemented in a new software program, COSMOS, which
                 automates the stability and sensitivity analysis of
                 essentially arbitrary ODE models in a quick, yet highly
                 accurate manner. The methods underlying the process are
                 theoretically analyzed and illustrated with four
                 representative examples: a simple metabolic reaction
                 model; a model of aspartate-derived amino acid
                 biosynthesis; a TCA-cycle model; and a modified

                 tasks are organized hierarchically pose a special
                 challenge because the hierarchical structure of the
                 problems needs to be considered. Multi-task learning
                 (MTL) provides a framework for dealing with such
                 interrelated learning tasks. When two different
                 hierarchical sources organize similar information, in
                 principle, this combined knowledge can be exploited to
                 further improve classification performance. We have
                 studied this problem in the context of protein
                 structure classification by integrating the learning
                 process for two hierarchical protein structure
                 classification database, SCOP and CATH. Our goal is to
                 accurately predict whether a given protein belongs to a
                 particular class in these hierarchies using only the
                 amino acid sequences. We have utilized the recent
                 developments in multi-task learning to solve the
                 interrelated classification problems. We have also
                 evaluated how the various relationships between tasks
                 affect the classification performance. Our evaluations

                 of these networks, as well as the advances in the level
                 of detail to which they can be reconstructed, an

                 of public health as they multiply rapidly during the
                 lytic phase of infection that cause maximum damage to
                 the host cells. Earlier research has established that
                 sites of replication origin are dominated by high
                 concentration of rare palindrome sequences of DNA.
                 Computational methods are devised based on scoring to
                 determine the concentration of palindromes. In this
                 paper, we propose both extraction and localization of
                 rare palindromes in an automated manner. Discrete
                 Cosine Transform (DCT-II), a widely recognized image
                 compression algorithm is utilized here to extract
                 palindromic sequences based on their reverse

                 formulate a novel approach to localize the rare

                 Entropy (MQE) measure based on the Renyi's Quadratic

                 dependency. If GO term x is existence-dependent on GO
                 term y, the presence of y implies the presence of x.
                 Therefore, the genes annotated with the function of the
                 GO term y are usually functionally and semantically
                 related to the genes annotated with the function of the

                 analysis methods have been developed in recent years
                 for analyzing gene sets enrichment. However, most of

                 in case a patient has cancer. This variation can be
                 used as an effective tool to find cancer. In this
                 study, we propose a novel gene expressions based colon
                 classification scheme (GECC) that exploits the
                 variations in gene expressions for classifying colon
                 gene samples into normal and malignant classes. Novelty
                 of GECC is in two complementary ways. First, to cater
                 overwhelmingly larger size of gene based data sets,
                 various feature extraction strategies, like,
                 chi-square, F-Score, principal component analysis (PCA)
                 and minimum redundancy and maximum relevancy (mRMR)
                 have been employed, which select discriminative genes
                 amongst a set of genes. Second, a majority voting based
                 ensemble of support vector machine (SVM) has been
                 proposed to classify the given gene based samples.
                 Previously, individual SVM models have been used for
                 colon classification, however, their performance is
                 limited. In this research study, we propose an
                 SVM-ensemble based new approach for gene based
                 classification of colon, wherein the individual SVM
                 models are constructed through the learning of
                 different SVM kernels, like, linear, polynomial, radial
                 basis function (RBF), and sigmoid. The predicted
                 results of individual models are combined through
                 majority voting. In this way, the combined decision
                 space becomes more discriminative. The proposed
                 technique has been tested on four colon, and several
                 other binary-class gene expression data sets, and
                 improved performance has been achieved compared to
                 previously reported gene based colon cancer detection
                 techniques. The computational time required for the

                 important for classifying tumors accurately. Existing
                 gene selection schemes are mainly based on ranking
                 statistics. From manifold learning standpoint, local
                 geometrical structure is more essential to characterize
                 features compared with global information. In this
                 study, we propose a supervised gene selection method
                 called locality sensitive Laplacian score (LSLS), which
                 incorporates discriminative information into local
                 geometrical structure, by minimizing local within-class
                 information and maximizing local between-class
                 information simultaneously. In addition, variance
                 information is considered in our algorithm framework.

                 sequential backward selection) is presented.

                 the biological sciences as queries to search for
                 functionally related enzymes in online databases. To
                 this end, one usually departs from some notion of
                 similarity, comparing two enzymes by looking for
                 correspondences in their sequences, structures or
                 surfaces. For a given query, the search operation
                 results in a ranking of the enzymes in the database,
                 from very similar to dissimilar enzymes, while
                 information about the biological function of annotated
                 database enzymes is ignored. In this work, we show that
                 rankings of that kind can be substantially improved by
                 applying kernel-based learning algorithms. This
                 approach enables the detection of statistical
                 dependencies between similarities of the active cleft
                 and the biological function of annotated enzymes. This
                 is in contrast to search-based approaches, which do not
                 take annotated training data into account. Similarity
                 measures based on the active cleft are known to
                 outperform sequence-based or structure-based measures
                 under certain conditions. We consider the Enzyme
                 Commission (EC) classification hierarchy for obtaining
                 annotated enzymes during the training phase. The
                 results of a set of sizeable experiments indicate a
                 consistent and significant improvement for a set of
                 similarity measures that exploit information about
                 small cavities in the surface of enzymes.",

  abstract =     "Identifying relevant genes which are responsible for
                 various types of cancer is an important problem. In
                 this context, important genes refer to the marker genes
                 which change their expression level in correlation with
                 the risk or progression of a disease, or with the
                 susceptibility of the disease to a given treatment.
                 Gene expression profiling by microarray technology has
                 been successfully applied to classification and
                 diagnostic prediction of cancers. However, extracting
                 these marker genes from a huge set of genes contained
                 by the microarray data set is a major problem. Most of
                 the existing methods for identifying marker genes find
                 a set of genes which may be redundant in nature.
                 Motivated by this, a multiobjective optimization method
                 has been proposed which can find a small set of
                 non-redundant disease related genes providing high
                 sensitivity and specificity simultaneously. In this
                 article, the optimization problem has been modeled as a

  abstract =     "Gene translation is the process in which intracellular
                 macro-molecules, called ribosomes, decode genetic
                 information in the mRNA chain into the corresponding
                 proteins. Gene translation includes several steps.
                 During the elongation step, ribosomes move along the
                 mRNA in a sequential manner and link amino-acids
                 together in the corresponding order to produce the
                 proteins. The homogeneous ribosome flow model (HRFM) is
                 a deterministic computational model for
                 translation-elongation under the assumption of constant
                 elongation rates along the mRNA chain. The HRFM is
                 described by a set of n first-order nonlinear ordinary
                 differential equations, where n represents the number
                 of sites along the mRNA chain. The HRFM also includes
                 two positive parameters: ribosomal initiation rate and
                 the (constant) elongation rate. In this paper, we show
                 that the steady-state translation rate in the HRFM is a
                 concave function of its parameters. This means that the
                 problem of determining the parameter values that
                 maximize the translation rate is relatively simple. Our
                 results may contribute to a better understanding of the
                 mechanisms and evolution of translation-elongation. We
                 demonstrate this by using the theoretical results to
                 estimate the initiation rate in M. musculus embryonic
                 stem cell. The underlying assumption is that evolution
                 optimized the translation mechanism. For the
                 infinite-dimensional HRFM, we derive a closed-form
                 solution to the problem of determining the initiation
                 and transition rates that maximize the protein
                 translation rate. We show that these expressions
                 provide good approximations for the optimal values in
                 the n -dimensional HRFM already for relatively small
                 values of n. These results may have applications for
                 synthetic biology where an important problem is to
                 re-engineer genomic systems in order to maximize the
                 protein production rate.",

                 have been described. Certain pyrazole derivatives
                 exhibit important pharmacological activities and have
                 proved to be useful template in drug research.
                 Considering importance of pyrazole template, in current
                 work the series of novel inhibitors were designed by
                 replacing central ring of acridine with pyrazole ring.
                 These heterocyclic compounds were proposed as a new
                 potential base for telomerase inhibitors. Obtained
                 dibenzopyrrole structure was used as a novel scaffold
                 structure and extension of inhibitors was done by
                 different functional groups. Docking of newly designed
                 compounds in the telomerase active site (telomerase

                 factorization (TNMF) is an NMF objective function that
                 enforces smoothness on the computed solutions, and has
                 been successfully applied to many problem domains
                 including text mining, spectral data analysis, and
                 cancer clustering. There is, however, an issue that is
                 still insufficiently addressed in the development of
                 TNMF algorithms, i.e., how to develop mechanisms that
                 can learn the regularization parameters directly from
                 the data sets. The common approach is to use fixed
                 values based on a priori knowledge about the problem
                 domains. However, from the linear inverse problems
                 study it is known that the quality of the solutions of

                 heavily on the choosing of appropriate regularization
                 parameters. Since least squares are the building blocks
                 of the NMF, it can be expected that similar situation
                 also applies to the NMF. In this paper, we propose two

                 parameters from the data set based on the L-curve
                 approach. We also develop a convergent algorithm for
                 the TNMF based on the additive update rules. Finally,

                 To solve this problem, we propose a matrix-based

                 data. The underlying process generating CNV segments is
                 generally assumed to be memory-less, giving rise to an
                 exponential distribution of segment lengths. In this
                 paper, we provide evidence from cancer patient data,
                 which suggests that this generative model is too
                 simplistic, and that segment lengths follow a power-law
                 distribution instead. We conjecture a simple
                 preferential attachment generative model that provides
                 the basis for the observed power-law distribution. We
                 then show how an existing statistical method for
                 detecting cancer driver genes can be improved by
                 incorporating the power-law distribution in the null

                 networks (PINs) has been extensively studied and
                 heatedly debated. We revisited this issue in the
                 context of the analysis of dynamic organization of a
                 PIN in the yeast cell cycle. Statistically significant
                 bimodality was observed when analyzing the distribution
                 of the differences in expression peak between
                 periodically expressed partners. A close look at their
                 behavior revealed that date and party hubs derived from
                 this analysis have some distinct features. There are no
                 significant differences between them in terms of
                 protein essentiality, expression correlation and
                 semantic similarity derived from gene ontology (GO)
                 biological process hierarchy. However, date hubs
                 exhibit significantly greater values than party hubs in
                 terms of semantic similarity derived from both GO
                 molecular function and cellular component hierarchies.
                 Relating to three-dimensional structures, we found that
                 both single and multi-interface proteins could become
                 date hubs coordinating multiple functions performed at
                 different times while party hubs are mainly
                 multiinterface proteins. Furthermore, we constructed
                 and analyzed a PPI network specific to the human cell
                 cycle and highlighted that the dynamic organization in
                 human interactome is far more complex than the
                 dichotomy of hubs observed in the yeast cell cycle.",

                 abstracts and full-text articles, containing a variety
                 of textual expressions, were annotated. On the abstract

                 0.95 for kinases, substrates, and sites, respectively.
                 The corresponding scores on the full-text corpus were

                 an F-score of 0.87 for the phosphorylation core task,
                 improving upon the results previously reported on the

                 genetic disease with symptoms of aging at a very early
                 age. Its molecular basis is not entirely clear,
                 although profound gene expression changes have been
                 reported, and there are some known and other presumed
                 overlaps with normal aging process. Identification of
                 genes with aging --- or HGPS-associated expression
                 changes is thus an important problem. However, standard
                 regression approaches are currently unsuitable for this
                 task due to limited sample sizes, thus motivating
                 development of alternative approaches. Here, we report
                 a novel iterative multiple regression approach that
                 leverages co-expressed gene clusters to identify gene
                 clusters whose expression co-varies with age and/or
                 HGPS. We have applied our approach to novel RNA-seq
                 profiles in fibroblast cell cultures at three different
                 cellular ages, both from HGPS patients and normal
                 samples. After establishing the robustness of our
                 approach, we perform a comparative investigation of
                 biological processes underlying normal aging and HGPS.
                 Our results recapitulate previously known processes
                 underlying aging as well as suggest numerous unique
                 processes underlying aging and HGPS. The approach could
                 also be useful in detecting phenotype-dependent
                 co-expression gene clusters in other contexts with
                 limited sample sizes.",

                 faces two algorithmic challenges: (1) Which cost
                 function to use to capture ``similarities'' between
                 nodes in different networks? (2) Which alignment
                 strategy to use to rapidly identify ``high-scoring''
                 alignments from all possible alignments? We ``break
                 down'' existing state-of-the-art methods that use both
                 different cost functions and different alignment
                 strategies to evaluate each combination of their cost
                 functions and alignment strategies. We find that a

                 alignment strategy of another method beats the existing
                 methods. Hence, we propose this combination as a novel
                 superior NA method. Then, since human aging is hard to
                 study experimentally due to long lifespan, we use NA to
                 transfer aging-related knowledge from well annotated

                 that has been obtained mainly by sequence alignment. We

                 extracellular events. This problem is drastically
                 complicated due to the unreliability of the interaction
                 data. In this paper, we develop a novel method, called
                 PReach (Probabilistic Reachability), that precisely
                 computes the probability that a signal can reach from a
                 given collection of receptors to a given collection of
                 reporters when the underlying signaling network is
                 uncertain. This is a very difficult computational
                 problem with no known polynomial-time solution. PReach
                 represents each uncertain interaction as a bi-variate
                 polynomial. It transforms the reachability problem to a
                 polynomial multiplication problem. We introduce novel
                 polynomial collapsing operators that associate
                 polynomial terms with possible paths between sources
                 and targets as well as the cuts that separate sources
                 from targets. These operators significantly shrink the
                 number of polynomial terms and thus the running time.
                 PReach has much better time complexity than the recent
                 solutions for this problem. Our experimental results on
                 real data sets demonstrate that this improvement leads
                 to orders of magnitude of reduction in the running time
                 over the most recent methods. Availability: All the

  abstract =     "This paper introduces a simple and effective approach
                 to improve the accuracy of multiple sequence alignment.
                 We use a natural measure to estimate the similarity of
                 the input sequences, and based on this measure, we
                 align the input sequences differently. For example, for
                 inputs with high similarity, we consider the whole
                 sequences and align them globally, while for those with
                 moderately low similarity, we may ignore the flank
                 regions and align them locally. To test the
                 effectiveness of this approach, we have implemented a
                 multiple sequence alignment tool called GLProbs and
                 compared its performance with about one dozen leading
                 alignment tools on three benchmark alignment databases,
                 and GLProbs's alignments have the best scores in almost
                 all testings. We have also evaluated the practicability
                 of the alignments of GLProbs by applying the tool to
                 three biological applications, namely phylogenetic
                 trees construction, protein secondary structure
                 prediction and the detection of high risk members for
                 cervical cancer in the HPV-E6 family, and the results

                 overwhelming amount of electronic health records (EHRs)
                 shared by healthcare institutions and practitioners, we
                 take advantage of EHR data to develop an effective
                 disease risk management model that not only models the
                 progression of the disease, but also predicts the risk
                 of the disease for early disease control or prevention.
                 Existing models for answering these questions usually
                 fall into two categories: the expert knowledge based
                 model or the handcrafted feature set based model. To
                 fully utilize the whole EHR data, we will build a
                 framework to construct an integrated representation of
                 features from all available risk factors in the EHR
                 data and use these integrated features to effectively
                 predict osteoporosis and bone fractures. We will also
                 develop a framework for informative risk factor
                 selection of bone diseases. A pair of models for two
                 contrast cohorts (e.g., diseased patients versus
                 non-diseased patients) will be established to
                 discriminate their characteristics and find the most
                 informative risk factors. Several empirical results on
                 a real bone disease data set show that the proposed
                 framework can successfully predict bone diseases and

                 identification of essential genes in bacteria.
                 Deep-sequencing of mutant libraries provides a large
                 amount of high-resolution data on essentiality.
                 Statistical methods developed to analyze this data have
                 traditionally assumed that the probability of observing
                 a transposon insertion is the same across the genome.
                 This assumption, however, is inconsistent with the
                 observed insertion frequencies from transposon mutant
                 libraries of M. tuberculosis. We propose a modified
                 Binomial model of essentiality that can characterize
                 the insertion probability of individual genes in which
                 we allow local variation in the background insertion
                 frequency in different non-essential regions of the
                 genome. Using the Metropolis--Hastings algorithm,
                 samples of the posterior insertion probabilities were
                 obtained for each gene, and the probability of each
                 gene being essential is estimated. We compared our
                 predictions to those of previous methods and show that,
                 by taking into consideration local insertion
                 frequencies, our method is capable of making more
                 conservative predictions that better match what is

                 are utilized to generate tertiary structure
                 predictions, which are increasingly demanded due to the
                 rapid discovery of proteins. Although recent
                 developments have slightly exceeded previous methods of
                 SS prediction, accuracy has stagnated around 80 percent
                 and many wonder if prediction cannot be advanced beyond
                 this ceiling. Disciplines that have traditionally
                 employed neural networks are experimenting with novel
                 deep learning techniques in attempts to stimulate
                 progress. Since neural networks have historically
                 played an important role in SS prediction, we wanted to
                 determine whether deep learning could contribute to the
                 advancement of this field as well. We developed an SS
                 predictor that makes use of the position-specific
                 scoring matrix generated by PSI-BLAST and deep learning
                 network architectures, which we call DNSS. Graphical

                 were determined, and a workflow comprising three
                 separately trained deep networks was constructed in
                 order to make refined predictions. This deep learning
                 network approach was used to predict SS for a fully
                 independent test dataset of 198 proteins, achieving a
                 Q3 accuracy of 80.7 percent and a Sov accuracy of 74.2

                 representative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
                 from a large number of SNPs, such as tag SNP for
                 haplotype coverage and informative SNP for haplotype
                 reconstruction, respectively. Representative SNPs are
                 not only instrumental in reducing the cost of
                 genotyping, but also serve an important function in
                 narrowing the combinatorial space in epistasis
                 analysis. The capacity of kernel SNPs to unify
                 informative SNP and tag SNP is explored, and
                 inconsistencies are minimized in further studies. The
                 correlation between multiple SNPs is formalized using
                 multi-information measures. In extending the
                 correlation, a distance formula for measuring the

                 assumption, this paper aims to estimate the
                 time-varying model parameters and identify significant
                 genes involved at different timepoints from time course
                 gene microarray data. We first formulate the parameter
                 identification problem as a new maximum a posteriori
                 probability estimation problem so that prior
                 information can be incorporated as regularization terms
                 to reduce the large estimation variance of the high
                 dimensional estimation problem. Under this framework,
                 sparsity and temporal consistency of the model
                 parameters are imposed using L 1-regularization and
                 novel continuity constraints, respectively. The
                 resulting problem is solved using the L-BFGS method
                 with the initial guess obtained from the partial least
                 squares method. A novel forward validation measure is
                 also proposed for the selection of regularization
                 parameters, based on both forward and current
                 prediction errors. The proposed method is evaluated

                 available yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell cycle
                 microarray data. For the latter particularly, a number
                 of significant genes identified at different timepoints
                 are found to be biological significant according to
                 previous findings in biological experiments. These
                 suggest that the proposed approach may serve as a

  abstract =     "Analysis of DNA sequence motifs is becoming
                 increasingly important in the study of gene regulation,
                 and the identification of motif in DNA sequences is a
                 complex problem in computational biology. Motif
                 discovery has attracted the attention of more and more
                 researchers, and varieties of algorithms have been
                 proposed. Most existing motif discovery algorithms fix
                 the motif's length as one of the input parameters. In
                 this paper, a novel method is proposed to identify the
                 optimal length of the motif and the optimal motif with
                 that length, through an iteration process on increasing
                 length numbers. For each fixed length, a modified
                 genetic algorithm (GA) is used for finding the optimal
                 motif with that length. Three operators are used in the
                 modified GA: Mutation that is similar to the one used
                 in usual GA but is modified to avoid local optimum in
                 our case, and Addition and Deletion that are proposed
                 by us for the problem. A criterion is given for
                 singling out the optimal length in the increasing
                 motif's lengths. We call this method AMDILM (an
                 algorithm for motif discovery with iteration on lengths
                 of motifs). The experiments on simulated data and real
                 biological data show that AMDILM can accurately
                 identify the optimal motif length. Meanwhile, the
                 optimal motifs discovered by AMDILM are consistent with
                 the real ones and are similar with the motifs obtained
                 by the three well-known methods: Gibbs Sampler, MEME
                 and Weeder.",

  abstract =     "Understanding binding cores is of fundamental
                 importance in deciphering Protein--DNA (TF-TFBS)
                 binding and for the deep understanding of gene
                 regulation. Traditionally, binding cores are identified
                 in resolved high-resolution 3D structures. However, it
                 is expensive, labor-intensive and time-consuming to
                 obtain these structures. Hence, it is promising to
                 discover binding cores computationally on a large
                 scale. Previous studies successfully applied
                 association rule mining to discover binding cores from
                 TF-TFBS binding sequence data only. Despite the
                 successful results, there are limitations such as the
                 use of tight support and confidence thresholds, the
                 distortion by statistical bias in counting pattern
                 occurrences, and the lack of a unified scheme to rank
                 TF-TFBS associated patterns. In this study, we proposed
                 an association rule mining algorithm incorporating
                 statistical measures and ranking to address these
                 limitations. Experimental results demonstrated that,
                 even when the threshold on support was lowered to
                 one-tenth of the value used in previous studies, a
                 satisfactory verification ratio was consistently
                 observed under different confidence levels. Moreover,
                 we proposed a novel ranking scheme for TF-TFBS
                 associated patterns based on p-values and co-support
                 values. By comparing with other discovery approaches,
                 the effectiveness of our algorithm was demonstrated.

                 by deep coalescence between a gene tree and a species

                 tree (the tree's maximum deep coalescence cost across
                 all species trees) depends on its topology, which can

                 short (long) reads is an emerging field in numerous
                 scientific and big data research domains. However, data
                 sizes and ease of access for scientific researchers are
                 growing and most current methodologies rely on one
                 acceleration approach and so cannot meet the
                 requirements imposed by explosive data scales and
                 complexities. In this paper, we propose a novel
                 FPGA-based acceleration solution with MapReduce
                 framework on multiple hardware accelerators. The
                 combination of hardware acceleration and MapReduce

  abstract =     "Protein complexes play a significant role in
                 understanding the underlying mechanism of most cellular
                 functions. Recently, many researchers have explored
                 computational methods to identify protein complexes
                 from protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. One
                 group of researchers focus on detecting local dense
                 subgraphs which correspond to protein complexes by
                 considering local neighbors. The drawback of this kind
                 of approach is that the global information of the
                 networks is ignored. Some methods such as Markov
                 Clustering algorithm (MCL), PageRank--Nibble are
                 proposed to find protein complexes based on random walk
                 technique which can exploit the global structure of
                 networks. However, these methods ignore the inherent
                 core-attachment structure of protein complexes and
                 treat adjacent node equally. In this paper, we design a
                 weighted PageRank--Nibble algorithm which assigns each
                 adjacent node with different probability, and propose a
                 novel method named WPNCA to detect protein complex from
                 PPI networks by using weighted PageRank--Nibble
                 algorithm and core-attachment structure. Firstly, WPNCA
                 partitions the PPI networks into multiple dense
                 clusters by using weighted PageRank--Nibble algorithm.
                 Then the cores of these clusters are detected and the
                 rest of proteins in the clusters will be selected as
                 attachments to form the final predicted protein
                 complexes. The experiments on yeast data show that
                 WPNCA outperforms the existing methods in terms of both
                 accuracy and p-value. The software for WPNCA is
                 available at

                 generated growing interest in identifying peptides that
                 bind to inorganic materials and classifying them based
                 on their inorganic material affinities. However, there
                 are some distinct characteristics of inorganic
                 materials binding sequence data that limit the
                 performance of many widely-used classification methods
                 when applied to this problem. In this paper, we propose
                 a novel framework to predict the affinity classes of
                 peptide sequences with respect to an associated
                 inorganic material. We first generate a large set of
                 simulated peptide sequences based on an amino acid
                 transition matrix tailored for the specific inorganic
                 material. Then the probability of test sequences
                 belonging to a specific affinity class is calculated by
                 minimizing an objective function. In addition, the
                 objective function is minimized through iterative
                 propagation of probability estimates among sequences
                 and sequence clusters. Results of computational
                 experiments on two real inorganic material binding
                 sequence data sets show that the proposed framework is
                 highly effective for identifying the affinity classes
                 of inorganic material binding sequences. Moreover, the
                 experiments on the structural classification of
                 proteins (SCOP) data set shows that the proposed

  abstract =     "High-throughput experimental techniques provide a wide
                 variety of heterogeneous proteomic data sources. To
                 exploit the information spread across multiple sources
                 for protein function prediction, these data sources are
                 transformed into kernels and then integrated into a
                 composite kernel. Several methods first optimize the
                 weights on these kernels to produce a composite kernel,
                 and then train a classifier on the composite kernel. As
                 such, these approaches result in an optimal composite
                 kernel, but not necessarily in an optimal classifier.
                 On the other hand, some approaches optimize the loss of
                 binary classifiers and learn weights for the different
                 kernels iteratively. For multi-class or multi-label
                 data, these methods have to solve the problem of
                 optimizing weights on these kernels for each of the
                 labels, which are computationally expensive and ignore
                 the correlation among labels. In this paper, we propose
                 a method called Predicting Protein Function using
                 Multiple Kernels (ProMK). ProMK iteratively optimizes
                 the phases of learning optimal weights and reduces the
                 empirical loss of multi-label classifier for each of
                 the labels simultaneously. ProMK can integrate kernels
                 selectively and downgrade the weights on noisy kernels.
                 We investigate the performance of ProMK on several
                 publicly available protein function prediction
                 benchmarks and synthetic datasets. We show that the
                 proposed approach performs better than previously
                 proposed protein function prediction approaches that
                 integrate multiple data sources and multi-label
                 multiple kernel learning methods. The codes of our
                 proposed method are available at

                 of haplotypes of minimum cardinality that explains a
                 given set of genotypes, where a genotype is explained
                 by two haplotypes if it can be obtained as a
                 combination of the two. This problem is NP-complete in
                 the general case, but polynomially solvable for ( k, l
                 )-bounded instances for certain k and l. Here, k
                 denotes the maximum number of ambiguous sites in any
                 genotype, and l is the maximum number of genotypes that
                 are ambiguous at the same site. Only the complexity of
                 the (*, 2)-bounded problem is still unknown, where *

                 be constructed from cliques and circuits by pasting

                 by solving a slightly generalized problem on circuits,
                 trees and cliques respectively, and arguing that all

                 structure and function of complex microbial
                 communities. With the rapid accumulation of
                 high-throughput metagenomic or 16S rRNA sequencing
                 data, it is possible to infer complex microbial
                 interactions. Co-occurrence patterns of microbial
                 species among multiple samples are often utilized to
                 infer interactions. There are few methods to consider
                 the temporally interacting patterns among microbial
                 species. In this paper, we present a Graph-regularized
                 Vector Autoregressive (GVAR) model to infer causal
                 relationships among microbial entities. The new model
                 has advantage comparing to the original vector
                 autoregressive (VAR) model. Specifically, GVAR can
                 incorporate similarity information for microbial
                 interaction inference --- i.e., GVAR assumed that if
                 two species are similar in the previous stage, they
                 tend to have similar influence on the other species in
                 the next stage. We apply the model on a time series
                 dataset of human gut microbiome which was treated with
                 repeated antibiotics. The experimental results indicate
                 that the new approach has better performance than
                 several other VAR-based models and demonstrate its

                 still poorly understood. With the growing amount of
                 ageing-related data available on the web, in particular
                 concerning the genetics of ageing, it is timely to
                 apply data mining methods to that data, in order to try
                 to discover novel patterns that may assist ageing
                 research. In this work, we introduce new hierarchical
                 feature selection methods for the classification task
                 of data mining and apply them to ageing-related data
                 from four model organisms: Caenorhabditis elegans
                 (worm), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast), Drosophila
                 melanogaster (fly), and Mus musculus (mouse). The main
                 novel aspect of the proposed feature selection methods
                 is that they exploit hierarchical relationships in the
                 set of features (Gene Ontology terms) in order to
                 improve the predictive accuracy of the Na{\"\i}ive
                 Bayes and 1-Nearest Neighbour (1-NN) classifiers, which
                 are used to classify model organisms' genes into
                 pro-longevity or anti-longevity genes. The results show
                 that our hierarchical feature selection methods, when
                 used together with Na{\"\i}ive Bayes and 1-NN
                 classifiers, obtain higher predictive accuracy than the
                 standard (without feature selection) Na{\"\i}ive Bayes
                 and 1-NN classifiers, respectively. We also discuss the
                 biological relevance of a number of Gene Ontology terms

                 an organism's survival is important for disease
                 analysis and drug design, as well as the understanding
                 of cellular life. The majority of prediction methods
                 infer the possibility of proteins to be essential by
                 using the network topology. However, these methods are
                 limited to the completeness of available
                 protein--protein interaction (PPI) data and depend on
                 the network accuracy. To overcome these limitations,
                 some computational methods have been proposed. However,
                 seldom of them solve this problem by taking
                 consideration of protein domains. In this work, we
                 first analyze the correlation between the essentiality
                 of proteins and their domain features based on data of
                 13 species. We find that the proteins containing more
                 protein domain types which rarely occur in other
                 proteins tend to be essential. Accordingly, we propose
                 a new prediction method, named UDoNC, by combining the
                 domain features of proteins with their topological
                 properties in PPI network. In UDoNC, the essentiality
                 of proteins is decided by the number and the frequency
                 of their protein domain types, as well as the
                 essentiality of their adjacent edges measured by edge
                 clustering coefficient. The experimental results on S.
                 cerevisiae data show that UDoNC outperforms other
                 existing methods in terms of area under the curve
                 (AUC). Additionally, UDoNC can also perform well in
                 predicting essential proteins on data of E. coli.",

                 novel web-based modeling tool with stochastic
                 differential equations. ENISI SDE provides
                 user-friendly web user interfaces to facilitate
                 adoption by immunologists and computational biologists.

  abstract =     "Accurate alignment of protein--protein binding sites
                 can aid in protein docking studies and constructing
                 templates for predicting structure of protein
                 complexes, along with in-depth understanding of
                 evolutionary and functional relationships. However,
                 over the past three decades, structural alignment
                 algorithms have focused predominantly on global
                 alignments with little effort on the alignment of local
                 interfaces. In this paper, we introduce the PBSalign
                 (Protein--protein Binding Site alignment) method, which
                 integrates techniques in graph theory, 3D localized
                 shape analysis, geometric scoring, and utilization of
                 physicochemical and geometrical properties.
                 Computational results demonstrate that PBSalign is
                 capable of identifying similar homologous and analogous
                 binding sites accurately and performing alignments with
                 better geometric match measures than existing
                 protein--protein interface comparison tools. The
                 proportion of better alignment quality generated by
                 PBSalign is 46, 56, and 70 percent more than iAlign as
                 judged by the average match index (MI), similarity
                 index (SI), and structural alignment score (SAS),
                 respectively. PBSalign provides the life science
                 community an efficient and accurate solution to
                 binding-site alignment while striking the balance
                 between topological details and computational
                 complexity.",

  abstract =     "Because most complex genetic diseases are caused by
                 defects of cell signaling, illuminating a signaling
                 cascade is essential for understanding their
                 mechanisms. We present three novel computational
                 algorithms to reconstruct signaling networks between a
                 starting protein and an ending protein using
                 genome-wide protein--protein interaction (PPI) networks
                 and gene ontology (GO) annotation data. A signaling
                 network is represented as a directed acyclic graph in a
                 merged form of multiple linear pathways. An advanced
                 semantic similarity metric is applied for weighting
                 PPIs as the preprocessing of all three methods. The
                 first algorithm repeatedly extends the list of nodes
                 based on path frequency towards an ending protein. The
                 second algorithm repeatedly appends edges based on the
                 occurrence of network motifs which indicate the link
                 patterns more frequently appearing in a PPI network
                 than in a random graph. The last algorithm uses the
                 information propagation technique which iteratively
                 updates edge orientations based on the path strength
                 and merges the selected directed edges. Our
                 experimental results demonstrate that the proposed
                 algorithms achieve higher accuracy than previous
                 methods when they are tested on well-studied pathways
                 of S. cerevisiae. Furthermore, we introduce an

  abstract =     "Accurately predicting the binding affinities of large
                 diverse sets of protein--ligand complexes efficiently
                 is a key challenge in computational biomolecular
                 science, with applications in drug discovery, chemical
                 biology, and structural biology. Since a scoring
                 function (SF) is used to score, rank, and identify
                 potential drug leads, the fidelity with which it
                 predicts the affinity of a ligand candidate for a
                 protein's binding site has a significant bearing on the
                 accuracy of virtual screening. Despite intense efforts
                 in developing conventional SFs, which are either
                 force-field based, knowledge-based, or empirical, their
                 limited predictive accuracy has been a major roadblock
                 toward cost-effective drug discovery. Therefore, in
                 this work, we explore a range of novel SFs employing
                 different machine-learning (ML) approaches in
                 conjunction with a variety of physicochemical and
                 geometrical features characterizing protein--ligand
                 complexes. We assess the scoring accuracies of these
                 new ML SFs as well as those of conventional SFs in the
                 context of the 2007 and 2010 PDBbind benchmark datasets
                 on both diverse and protein--family-specific test sets.
                 We also investigate the influence of the size of the
                 training dataset and the type and number of features
                 used on scoring accuracy. We find that the best
                 performing ML SF has a Pearson correlation coefficient
                 of 0.806 between predicted and measured binding
                 affinities compared to 0.644 achieved by a
                 state-of-the-art conventional SF. We also find that ML
                 SFs benefit more than their conventional counterparts
                 from increases in the number of features and the size
                 of training dataset. In addition, they perform better
                 on novel proteins that they were never trained on
                 before.",

                 similarity comparison of protein sequences in the area
                 of bioinformatics and molecular biology, which helps
                 the prediction and classification of protein structure
                 and function. It is a significant and open issue to
                 find similar proteins from a large scale of protein
                 database efficiently. This paper presents a new
                 distance based protein similarity analysis using a new
                 encoding method of protein sequence which is based on
                 fractal dimension. The protein sequences are first
                 represented into the 1-dimensional feature vectors by
                 their biochemical quantities. A series of Hybrid method
                 involving discrete Wavelet transform, Fractal dimension

  abstract =     "Essential proteins are indispensable for cellular
                 life. It is of great significance to identify essential
                 proteins that can help us understand the minimal
                 requirements for cellular life and is also very
                 important for drug design. However, identification of
                 essential proteins based on experimental approaches are
                 typically time-consuming and expensive. With the
                 development of high-throughput technology in the
                 post-genomic era, more and more protein--protein
                 interaction data can be obtained, which make it
                 possible to study essential proteins from the network
                 level. There have been a series of computational
                 approaches proposed for predicting essential proteins
                 based on network topologies. Most of these topology
                 based essential protein discovery methods were to use
                 network centralities. In this paper, we investigate the
                 essential proteins' topological characters from a
                 completely new perspective. To our knowledge it is the
                 first time that topology potential is used to identify
                 essential proteins from a protein--protein interaction
                 (PPI) network. The basic idea is that each protein in
                 the network can be viewed as a material particle which
                 creates a potential field around itself and the
                 interaction of all proteins forms a topological field
                 over the network. By defining and computing the value
                 of each protein's topology potential, we can obtain a
                 more precise ranking which reflects the importance of
                 proteins from the PPI network. The experimental results
                 show that topology potential-based methods TP and TP-NC
                 outperform traditional topology measures: degree
                 centrality (DC), betweenness centrality (BC), closeness
                 centrality (CC), subgraph centrality (SC), eigenvector
                 centrality (EC), information centrality (IC), and
                 network centrality (NC) for predicting essential
                 proteins. In addition, these centrality measures are
                 improved on their performance for identifying essential
                 proteins in biological network when controlled by
                 topology potential.",

  abstract =     "In recent years, there has been an increasing interest
                 in planted ( l, d ) motif search (PMS) with
                 applications to discovering significant segments in
                 biological sequences. However, there has been little
                 discussion about PMS over large alphabets. This paper
                 focuses on motif stem search (MSS), which is recently
                 introduced to search motifs on large-alphabet inputs. A
                 motif stem is an l -length string with some wildcards.
                 The goal of the MSS problem is to find a set of stems
                 that represents a superset of all ( l, d ) motifs
                 present in the input sequences, and the superset is
                 expected to be as small as possible. The three main
                 contributions of this paper are as follows: (1) We
                 build motif stem representation more precisely by using
                 regular expressions. (2) We give a method for
                 generating all possible motif stems without redundant
                 wildcards. (3) We propose an efficient exact algorithm,
                 called StemFinder, for solving the MSS problem.
                 Compared with the previous MSS algorithms, StemFinder
                 runs much faster and reports fewer stems which
                 represent a smaller superset of all ( l, d ) motifs.

  abstract =     "This paper focuses on stability analysis for a class
                 of genetic regulatory networks with interval
                 time-varying delays. An improved integral inequality
                 concerning on double-integral items is first
                 established. Then, we use the improved integral
                 inequality to deal with the resultant double-integral
                 items in the derivative of the involved
                 Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. As a result, a
                 delay-range-dependent and delay-rate-dependent
                 asymptotical stability criterion is established for
                 genetic regulatory networks with differential
                 time-varying delays. Furthermore, it is theoretically
                 proven that the stability criterion proposed here is
                 less conservative than the corresponding one in
                 [Neurocomputing, 2012, 93: 19-26]. Based on the
                 obtained result, another stability criterion is given
                 under the case that the information of the derivatives
                 of delays is unknown. Finally, the effectiveness of the
                 approach proposed in this paper is illustrated by a
                 pair of numerical examples which give the comparisons

  abstract =     "Protein--protein interfaces defined through atomic
                 contact or solvent accessibility change are widely
                 adopted in structural biology studies. But, these
                 definitions cannot precisely capture energetically
                 important regions at protein interfaces. The burial
                 depth of an atom in a protein is related to the atom's
                 energy. This work investigates how closely the change
                 in burial level of an atom/residue upon complexation is
                 related to the binding. Burial level change is
                 different from burial level itself. An atom deeply
                 buried in a monomer with a high burial level may not
                 change its burial level after an interaction and it may
                 have little burial level change. We hypothesize that an
                 interface is a region of residues all undergoing burial
                 level changes after interaction. By this definition, an
                 interface can be decomposed into an onion-like
                 structure according to the burial level change extent.
                 We found that our defined interfaces cover
                 energetically important residues more precisely, and
                 that the binding free energy of an interface is
                 distributed progressively from the outermost layer to
                 the core. These observations are used to predict
                 binding hot spots. Our approach's F-measure performance
                 on a benchmark dataset of alanine mutagenesis residues
                 is much superior or similar to those by complicated
                 energy modeling or machine learning approaches.",

                 selection and sample classification are significant
                 research trends, due to the large amount of genes and
                 small size of samples in gene expression data. Rough
                 set theory has been successfully applied to gene
                 selection, as it can select attributes without

                 in the laboratory, the technique of Polymerase Chain
                 Reaction (PCR) requires the design of ``primers'',
                 which are short fragments of nucleotides complementary
                 to the flanking regions of the target sequence. If the
                 same primer is to amplify multiple closely related
                 target sequences, then it is necessary to make the
                 primers ``degenerate'', which would allow it to
                 hybridize to target sequences with a limited amount of
                 variability that may have been caused by mutations.
                 However, the PCR technique can only allow a limited
                 amount of degeneracy, and therefore the design of
                 degenerate primers requires the identification of

                 protein--protein interaction networks (PPIs) is an
                 important application of data mining in life science.
                 Over the past decades, various new clustering
                 techniques have been developed based on modelling PPIs
                 as binary relations. Non-binary information of
                 co-complex relations (prey/bait) in PPIs data derived
                 from tandem affinity purification/mass spectrometry
                 (TAP-MS) experiments has been unfairly disregarded. In
                 this paper, we propose a Biased Random Walk based
                 algorithm for detecting protein complexes from TAP-MS
                 data, resulting in the random walk with restarting
                 baits (RWRB). RWRB is developed based on Random walk
                 with restart. The main contribution of RWRB is the
                 incorporation of co-complex relations in TAP-MS PPI
                 networks into the clustering process, by implementing a
                 new restarting strategy during the process of random
                 walk. Through experimentation on un-weighted and
                 weighted TAP-MS data sets, we validated biological
                 significance of our results by mapping them to manually
                 curated complexes. Results showed that, by
                 incorporating non-binary, co-membership information,
                 significant improvement has been achieved in terms of
                 both statistical measurements and biological relevance.
                 Better accuracy demonstrates that the proposed method
                 outperformed several state-of-the-art clustering
                 algorithms for the detection of protein complexes in

  abstract =     "Cell signaling governs the basic cellular activities
                 and coordinates the actions in cell. Abnormal
                 regulations in cell signaling processing are
                 responsible for many human diseases, such as diabetes
                 and cancers. With the accumulation of massive data
                 related to human cell signaling, it is feasible to
                 obtain a human signaling network. Some studies have
                 shown that interesting biological phenomenon and
                 drug-targets could be discovered by applying structural
                 controllability analysis to biological networks. In
                 this work, we apply structural controllability to a
                 human signaling network and detect driver nodes,
                 providing a systematic analysis of the role of
                 different proteins in controlling the human signaling
                 network. We find that the proteins in the upstream of
                 the signaling information flow and the low in-degree
                 proteins play a crucial role in controlling the human
                 signaling network. Interestingly, inputting different
                 control signals on the regulators of the
                 cancer-associated genes could cost less than
                 controlling the cancer-associated genes directly in
                 order to control the whole human signaling network in
                 the sense that less drive nodes are needed. This
                 research provides a fresh perspective for controlling
                 the human cell signaling system.",

  abstract =     "Traditionally, biological objects such as genes,
                 proteins, and pathways are represented by a convenient
                 identifier, or ID, which is then used to cross
                 reference, link and describe objects in biological
                 databases. Relationships among the objects are often
                 established using non-trivial and computationally
                 complex ID mapping systems or converters, and are
                 stored in authoritative databases such as UniGene,
                 GeneCards, PIR and BioMart. Despite best efforts, such
                 mappings are largely incomplete and riddled with false
                 negatives. Consequently, data integration using record
                 linkage that relies on these mappings produces poor
                 quality of data, inadvertently leading to erroneous
                 conclusions. In this paper, we discuss this largely
                 ignored dimension of data integration, examine how the
                 ubiquitous use of identifiers in biological databases
                 is a significant barrier to knowledge fusion using
                 distributed computational pipelines, and propose two

  abstract =     "Array comparative genome hybridization (aCGH) is a
                 widely used methodology to detect copy number
                 variations of a genome in high resolution. Knowing the
                 number of break-points and their corresponding
                 locations in genomic sequences serves different
                 biological needs. Primarily, it helps to identify
                 disease-causing genes that have functional importance
                 in characterizing genome wide diseases. For human
                 autosomes the normal copy number is two, whereas at the
                 sites of oncogenes it increases (gain of DNA) and at
                 the tumour suppressor genes it decreases (loss of DNA).
                 The majority of the current detection methods are
                 deterministic in their set-up and use dynamic
                 programming or different smoothing techniques to obtain
                 the estimates of copy number variations. These
                 approaches limit the search space of the problem due to
                 different assumptions considered in the methods and do
                 not represent the true nature of the uncertainty
                 associated with the unknown break-points in genomic
                 sequences. We propose the Cross-Entropy method, which
                 is a model-based stochastic optimization technique as
                 an exact search method, to estimate both the number and
                 locations of the break-points in aCGH data. We model
                 the continuous scale log-ratio data obtained by the
                 aCGH technique as a multiple breakpoint problem. The
                 proposed methodology is compared with well established
                 publicly available methods using both artificially
                 generated data and real data. Results show that the
                 proposed procedure is an effective way of estimating
                 number and especially the locations of break-points
                 with high level of precision. Availability: The methods
                 described in this article are implemented in the new R

  abstract =     "Rearrangements are mutations that can change the
                 organization of a genome, but not its content. Examples
                 are inversions of DNA segments, translocations of
                 chromosome ends, fusions and fissions of chromosomes.
                 All mentioned rearrangements can be represented by the
                 generic Double Cut and Join (DCJ) operation. However,
                 the DCJ operation also allows circular chromosomes to
                 be created at intermediate steps, even if the compared
                 genomes are linear. In this case it is more plausible
                 to consider a restriction in which the reincorporation
                 of a circular chromosome has to be done immediately
                 after its creation. We call these two consecutive
                 operations an ER composition. It has been shown that an
                 ER composition mimics either an internal block
                 interchange (when two segments in the same chromosome
                 exchange their positions), or an internal transposition
                 (the special case of a block interchange when the two
                 segments are adjacent). The DCJ distance of two genomes
                 is the same, regardless of this restriction, and can be
                 computed in linear time. For comparing two genomes with
                 unequal contents, in addition to rearrangements we have
                 to allow insertions and deletions of DNA
                 segments--named indels. It is already known that the
                 distance in the model combining DCJ and indel
                 operations can be exactly computed. Again, for linear
                 genomes it would be more plausible to adopt a
                 restricted version with ER compositions. This model was
                 studied recently by da Silva et al. (BMC Bioinformatics
                 13, Suppl. 19, S14, 2012), but only an upper bound for
                 the restricted DCJ-indel distance was provided. Here we
                 first solve an open problem posed in that paper and
                 present a very simple proof showing that the distance,
                 which can be computed in linear time, is the same for
                 both the unrestricted and the restricted DCJ-indel
                 models. We then give a simpler algorithm for computing
                 an optimal restricted DCJ-indel sorting scenario in O(n
                 log n) time. We also relate the DCJ-indel distance to
                 the restricted DCJ-substitution distance, which instead
                 of indels considers a more powerful operation that
                 allows the substitution of a DNA segment by another DNA
                 segment. We show that the DCJ-indel distance is a
                 2-approximation for the restricted DCJ-substitution
                 distance.",

                 linear and context-free grammars that makes it possible
                 to combine simple ``atomic'' grammars operating on
                 single sequences into complex, multi-dimensional
                 grammars. We demonstrate the utility of this framework
                 by constructing the search spaces of complex alignment
                 problems on multiple input sequences explicitly as
                 algebraic expressions of very simple one-dimensional
                 grammars. In particular, we provide a fully worked
                 frameshift-aware, semiglobal DNA-protein alignment
                 algorithm whose grammar is composed of products of
                 small, atomic grammars. The compiler accompanying our
                 theory makes it easy to experiment with the combination
                 of multiple grammars and different operations.
                 Composite grammars can be written out in LATEX for
                 documentation and as a guide to implementation of
                 dynamic programming algorithms. An embedding in Haskell

                 of available RNA structures call for bioinformatics
                 methods for handling and analyzing RNA structural data.
                 Recently, we introduced SETTER--a fast and accurate
                 method for RNA pairwise structure alignment. In this
                 paper, we describe MultiSETTER, SETTER extension for
                 multiple RNA structure alignment. MultiSETTER combines
                 SETTER's decomposition of RNA structures into
                 non-overlapping structural subunits with the multiple
                 sequence alignment algorithm ClustalW adapted for the
                 structure alignment. The accuracy of MultiSETTER was
                 assessed by the automatic classification of RNA
                 structures and its comparison to SCOR annotations. In
                 addition, MultiSETTER classification was also compared

  abstract =     "Over the past few decades, discovery based on sequence
                 homology has become a widely accepted practice.
                 Consequently, comparative accuracy of retrieval
                 algorithms (e.g., BLAST) has been rigorously studied
                 for improvement. Unlike most components of retrieval
                 algorithms, the E-value threshold criterion has yet to
                 be thoroughly investigated. An investigation of the
                 threshold is important as it exclusively dictates which
                 sequences are declared relevant and irrelevant. In this
                 paper, we introduce the false discovery rate (FDR)
                 statistic as a replacement for the uniform threshold
                 criterion in order to improve efficacy in retrieval
                 systems. Using NCBI's BLAST and PSI-BLAST software
                 packages, we demonstrate the applicability of such a
                 replacement in both non-iterative (BLAST FDR) and
                 iterative (PSI-BLASTFDR) homology searches. For each
                 application, we performed an evaluation of retrieval
                 efficacy with five different multiple testing methods
                 on a large training database. For each algorithm, we
                 choose the best performing method, Benjamini-Hochberg,
                 as the default statistic. As measured by the threshold
                 average precision, BLASTFDR yielded 14.1 percent better
                 retrieval performance than BLAST on a large (5,161
                 queries) test database and PSI-BLASTFDR attained 11.8
                 percent better retrieval performance than PSI-BLAST.

                 PSI-BLASTFDR and instructions are available at

                 known secondary structure is an important problem in
                 bioinformatics. In general, the secondary structure of
                 a searched noncoding RNA is defined with a structure
                 model constructed from the structural alignment of a
                 set of sequences from its family. Computing the optimal

                 the core part of an algorithm that can search genomes

                 where multivariate approach was successfully applied to
                 coding sequence modeling, we have introduced a partial

                 were found by using pan-genomics concept for each

                 mass spectra represents a great challenge. Existing
                 methods fall into approximate and exact ones. The
                 former including greedy and heuristic ones can reduce
                 the computational complexity, but suffer from
                 information lost in the procedure of glycan
                 interpretation. The latter including dynamic
                 programming and exhaustive enumeration are much slower
                 than the former. In the past years, nearly all emerging
                 methods adopted a tree structure to represent a glycan.
                 They share such problems as repetitive peak counting in
                 reconstructing a candidate structure. Besides,
                 tree-based glycan representation methods often have to
                 give different computational formulas for binary and
                 ternary glycans. We propose a new directed acyclic

                 spectra with logical constraints and some known

                 The experiments on multiple complex glycans extracted

                 In gene networks, experimentally observed extrinsic
                 noise is colored. As an attempt, we investigate the
                 genetic toggle switch systems perturbed by colored
                 extrinsic noise and with kinetic parameters. Compared
                 with white noise perturbed systems, we show there also
                 exists optimal colored noise strength to induce the
                 best stochastic switch behaviors in the single toggle
                 switch, and the best synchronized switching in the
                 networked systems, which demonstrate that noise-induced
                 optimal switch behaviors are widely in existence.
                 Moreover, under a wide range of system parameter

                 white noise is beneficial for switch and colored noise
                 is beneficial for population synchronization. Our
                 observations are very robust to extrinsic stimulus

  abstract =     "From a set of phylogenetic trees with overlapping taxa
                 set, a supertree exhibits evolutionary relationships
                 among all input taxa. The key is to resolve the
                 contradictory relationships with respect to input
                 trees, between individual taxa subsets. Formulation of
                 this NP hard problem employs either local search
                 heuristics to reduce tree search space, or resolves the
                 conflicts with respect to fixed or varying size subtree
                 level decompositions. Different approximation
                 techniques produce supertrees with considerable
                 performance variations. Moreover, the majority of the
                 algorithms involve high computational complexity, thus
                 not suitable for use on large biological data sets.
                 Current study presents COSPEDTree, a novel method for
                 supertree construction. The technique resolves source
                 tree conflicts by analyzing couplet (taxa pair)
                 relationships for each source trees. Subsequently,
                 individual taxa pairs are resolved with a single
                 relation. To prioritize the consensus relations among
                 individual taxa pairs for resolving them, greedy
                 scoring is employed to assign higher score values for
                 the consensus relations among a taxa pair. Selected set
                 of relations resolving individual taxa pairs is
                 subsequently used to construct a directed acyclic graph
                 (DAG). Vertices of DAG represents a taxa subset
                 inferred from the same speciation event. Thus,
                 COSPEDTree can generate non-binary supertrees as well.
                 Depth first traversal on this DAG yields final
                 supertree. According to the performance metrics on
                 branch dissimilarities (such as FP, FN and RF),
                 COSPEDTree produces mostly conservative, well resolved
                 supertrees. Specifically, RF metrics are mostly lower
                 compared to the reference approaches, and FP values are
                 lower apart from only strictly conservative (or veto)
                 approaches. COSPEDTree has worst case time and space
                 complexities of cubic and quadratic order,
                 respectively, better or comparable to the reference
                 approaches. Such high performance and low computational
                 costs enable COSPEDTree to be applied on large scale
                 biological data sets.",

  abstract =     "Recent advancements in genomics and proteomics provide
                 a solid foundation for understanding the pathogenesis
                 of diabetes. Proteomics of diabetes associated pathways
                 help to identify the most potent target for the
                 management of diabetes. The relevant datasets are
                 scattered in various prominent sources which takes much
                 time to select the therapeutic target for the clinical
                 management of diabetes. However, additional information
                 about target proteins is needed for validation. This
                 lacuna may be resolved by linking diabetes associated
                 genes, pathways and proteins and it will provide a
                 strong base for the treatment and planning management
                 strategies of diabetes. Thus, a web source ``Diabetes
                 Associated Proteins Database (DAPD)'' has been
                 developed to link the diabetes associated genes,
                 pathways and proteins using PHP, MySQL. The current
                 version of DAPD has been built with proteins associated
                 with different types of diabetes. In addition, DAPD has
                 been linked to external sources to gain the access to
                 more participatory proteins and their pathway network.
                 DAPD will reduce the time and it is expected to pave
                 the way for the discovery of novel anti-diabetic leads
                 using computational drug designing for diabetes

                 structural characteristic. Accurately predicting
                 disulfide connectivity solely from protein sequence
                 helps to improve the intrinsic understanding of protein
                 structure and function, especially in the post-genome
                 era where large volume of sequenced proteins without
                 being functional annotated is quickly accumulated. In
                 this study, a new feature extracted from the predicted
                 protein 3D structural information is proposed and
                 integrated with traditional features to form
                 discriminative features. Based on the extracted
                 features, a random forest regression model is performed
                 to predict protein disulfide connectivity. We compare
                 the proposed method with popular existing predictors by
                 performing both cross-validation and independent
                 validation tests on benchmark datasets. The
                 experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the
                 proposed method over existing predictors. We believe
                 the superiority of the proposed method benefits from
                 both the good discriminative capability of the newly
                 developed features and the powerful modelling
                 capability of the random forest. The web server

  abstract =     "Revealing the underlying evolutionary mechanism plays
                 an important role in understanding protein interaction
                 networks in the cell. While many evolutionary models
                 have been proposed, the problem about applying these
                 models to real network data, especially for
                 differentiating which model can better describe
                 evolutionary process for the observed network remains a
                 challenge. The traditional way is to use a model with
                 presumed parameters to generate a network, and then
                 evaluate the fitness by summary statistics, which
                 however cannot capture the complete network structures
                 information and estimate parameter distribution. In
                 this work, we developed a novel method based on
                 Approximate Bayesian Computation and modified
                 Differential Evolution algorithm (ABC-DEP) that is
                 capable of conducting model selection and parameter

                 evolutionary mechanisms for PPI networks more

                 differentiating models and estimating parameters on

                 performance benchmark, as compared with a previous
                 method. We further applied our method to real data of
                 protein interaction networks in human and yeast. Our
                 results show duplication attachment model as the
                 predominant evolutionary mechanism for human PPI

                 popular method for the comparison of protein
                 structures. One of the two components of LGA requires
                 us to compute the longest common contiguous segments
                 between two protein structures. That is, given two
                 structures $ A = (a_1; \ldots {}; a_n) $ and $ B =
                 (b_1; \ldots {}; b_n) $ where $ a_k, b_k \in R^3 $, we
                 are to find, among all the segments $ f = (a_i; \ldots
                 {}; a_j) $ and $ g = (b_i; \ldots {}; b_j) $ that
                 fulfill a certain criterion regarding their similarity,
                 those of the maximum length. We consider the following
                 criteria: (1) the root mean squared deviation (RMSD)
                 between $f$ and $g$ is to be within a given $ t \in R$;
                 (2) $f$ and $g$ can be superposed such that for each $
                 k, i \leq k \leq j$, $ ||a k - b k|| \leq t$ for a
                 given $ t \in R$. We give an algorithm of $ O(n \log n
                 + n l)$ time complexity when the first requirement
                 applies, where $l$ is the maximum length of the
                 segments fulfilling the criterion. We show an FPTAS
                 which, for any $ \epsilon \in R$, finds a segment of
                 length at least $l$, but of RMSD up to $ (1 + \epsilon)
                 t$, in $ O(n \log n + n / \epsilon)$ time. We propose
                 an FPTAS which for any given $ \epsilon \in R$, finds
                 all the segments $f$ and $g$ of the maximum length
                 which can be superposed such that for each $ k, i \leq
                 k \leq j$, $ ||a k - b k|| \leq (1 + \epsilon) t$, thus
                 fulfilling the second requirement approximately. The
                 algorithm has a time complexity of $ O(n \log^2 n /
                 \epsilon^5)$ when consecutive points in $A$ are
                 separated by the same distance (which is the case with
                 protein structures). These worst-case runtime
                 complexities are verified using C++ implementations of
                 the algorithms, which we have made available at

                 amino-acids and carry out various biological functions,
                 in fact, almost all body reactions occur with the
                 participation of proteins. This is one of the reasons
                 why the analysis of proteins has become a major issue
                 in biology. In a more concrete way, the identification
                 of conserved patterns in a set of related protein
                 sequences can provide relevant biological information
                 about these protein functions. In this paper, we
                 present a novel algorithm based on teaching learning
                 based optimization (TLBO) combined with a local search
                 function specialized to predict common patterns in sets
                 of protein sequences. This population-based
                 evolutionary algorithm defines a group of individuals
                 (solutions) that enhance their knowledge (quality) by
                 means of different learning stages. Thus, if we
                 correctly adapt it to the biological context of the
                 mentioned problem, we can get an acceptable set of
                 quality solutions. To evaluate the performance of the
                 proposed technique, we have used six instances composed
                 of different related protein sequences obtained from
                 the PROSITE database. As we will see, the designed
                 approach makes good predictions and improves the

                 admixture of more than one kind of tumor subclones.
                 Studies of genomic aberrations from heterogeneous tumor
                 data are hindered by the mixed signal of tumor subclone
                 cells. Most of the existing algorithms cannot
                 distinguish contributions of different subclones from
                 the measured single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array
                 signals, which may cause erroneous estimation of
                 genomic aberrations. Here, we have introduced a
                 computational method, Cancer Heterogeneity Analysis
                 from SNP-array Experiments (CHASE), to automatically
                 detect subclone proportions and genomic aberrations
                 from heterogeneous tumor samples. Our method is based
                 on HMM, and incorporates EM algorithm to build a
                 statistical model for modeling mixed signal of multiple
                 tumor subclones. We tested the proposed approach on
                 simulated datasets and two real datasets, and the

                 biology researches. The BLOSUM matrices, especially
                 BLOSUM62, are the de facto standard matrices for
                 protein alignments. However, after widely utilization
                 of the matrices for 15 years, programming errors were
                 surprisingly found in the initial version of source
                 codes for their generation. And amazingly, after bug
                 correction, the ``intended'' BLOSUM62 matrix performs
                 consistently worse than the ``miscalculated'' one. In
                 this paper, we find linear relationships among the
                 eigenvalues of the matrices and propose an algorithm to
                 find optimal unified eigenvectors. With them, we can
                 parameterize matrix BLOSUMx for any given variable x
                 that could change continuously. We compare the
                 effectiveness of our parameterized isentropic matrix
                 with BLOSUM62. Furthermore, an iterative alignment and
                 matrix selection process is proposed to adaptively find
                 the best parameter and globally align two sequences.

                 genetic variants, have been used successfully to
                 identify defective genes causing human single gene
                 diseases. However, most common human diseases are
                 complex diseases and caused by gene-gene and
                 gene-environment interactions. Many SNP-SNP interaction
                 analysis methods have been introduced but they are not
                 powerful enough to discover interactions more than
                 three SNPs. The paper proposes a novel method that
                 analyzes all SNPs simultaneously. Different from
                 existing methods, the method regards an individual's
                 genotype data on a list of SNPs as a point with a unit
                 of energy in a multi-dimensional space, and tries to

                 distribution difference between cases and controls
                 reaches the maximum. The method will find different
                 multiple SNPs combinatorial patterns between cases and
                 controls based on the new coordinate system. The
                 experiment on simulated data shows that the method is
                 efficient. The tests on the real data of age-related
                 macular degeneration (AMD) disease show that it can
                 find out more significant multi-SNP combinatorial

                 external control to match a desired input/output (I/O)
                 filtering response are engineered based on the
                 well-characterized promoter-RBS libraries and a cascade
                 gene circuit topology. In the field of synthetic
                 biology, the biological filter system serves as a
                 powerful detector or sensor to sense different
                 molecular signals and produces a specific output
                 response only if the concentration of the input
                 molecular signal is higher or lower than a specified
                 threshold. The proposed systematic design method of
                 robust biological filters is summarized into three
                 steps. Firstly, several well-characterized promoter-RBS
                 libraries are established for biological filter design
                 by identifying and collecting the quantitative and
                 qualitative characteristics of their promoter-RBS
                 components via nonlinear parameter estimation method.
                 Then, the topology of synthetic biological filter is
                 decomposed into three cascade gene regulatory modules,
                 and an appropriate promoter-RBS library is selected for
                 each module to achieve the desired I/O specification of
                 a biological filter. Finally, based on the proposed
                 systematic method, a robust externally tunable
                 biological filter is engineered by searching the
                 promoter-RBS component libraries and a control inducer
                 concentration library to achieve the optimal reference
                 match for the specified I/O filtering response.",

                 is proposed using the two dimensional clusters present
                 in the contact maps. Each protein is represented as a
                 set of the non-trivial clusters of contacts extracted
                 from its contact map. The approach involves finding
                 matching regions between the two contact maps using
                 approximate 2D-pattern matching algorithm and dynamic
                 programming technique. These matched pairs of small
                 contact maps are submitted in parallel to a fast
                 heuristic CMO algorithm. The approach facilitates
                 parallelization at this level since all the pairs of
                 contact maps can be submitted to the algorithm in
                 parallel. Then, a merge algorithm is used in order to
                 obtain the overall alignment. As a proof of concept,

                 composition of the contributions from the active
                 processes. Biclustering under a plaid assumption allows
                 the modeling of interactions between transcriptional
                 modules or biclusters (subsets of genes with coherence
                 across subsets of conditions) by assuming an additive
                 composition of contributions in their overlapping
                 areas. Despite the biological interest of plaid models,
                 few biclustering algorithms consider plaid effects and,
                 when they do, they place restrictions on the allowed
                 types and structures of biclusters, and suffer from
                 robustness problems by seizing exact additive
                 matchings. We propose BiP (Biclustering using Plaid
                 models), a biclustering algorithm with relaxations to
                 allow expression levels to change in overlapping areas
                 according to biologically meaningful assumptions
                 (weighted and noise-tolerant composition of
                 contributions). BiP can be used over existing
                 biclustering solutions (seizing their benefits) as it
                 is able to recover excluded areas due to unaccounted
                 plaid effects and detect noisy areas non-explained by a
                 plaid assumption, thus producing an explanatory model
                 of overlapping transcriptional activity. Experiments on
                 synthetic data support BiP's efficiency and
                 effectiveness. The learned models from expression data
                 unravel meaningful and non-trivial functional
                 interactions between biological processes associated
                 with putative regulatory modules.",

  abstract =     "A major challenge in computational biology is to find
                 simple representations of high-dimensional data that
                 best reveal the underlying structure. In this work, we
                 present an intuitive and easy-to-implement method based
                 on ranked neighborhood comparisons that detects
                 structure in unsupervised data. The method is based on
                 ordering objects in terms of similarity and on the
                 mutual overlap of nearest neighbors. This basic
                 framework was originally introduced in the field of
                 social network analysis to detect actor communities. We
                 demonstrate that the same ideas can successfully be
                 applied to biomedical data sets in order to reveal
                 complex underlying structure. The algorithm is very
                 efficient and works on distance data directly without
                 requiring a vectorial embedding of data. Comprehensive
                 experiments demonstrate the validity of this approach.
                 Comparisons with state-of-the-art clustering methods
                 show that the presented method outperforms hierarchical
                 methods as well as density based clustering methods and
                 model-based clustering. A further advantage of the
                 method is that it simultaneously provides a
                 visualization of the data. Especially in biomedical
                 applications, the visualization of data can be used as
                 a first pre-processing step when analyzing real world
                 data sets to get an intuition of the underlying data
                 structure. We apply this model to synthetic data as
                 well as to various biomedical data sets which
                 demonstrate the high quality and usefulness of the
                 inferred structure.",

  abstract =     "The International Conference on Genome Informatics,
                 known as ``GIW'', is one of the longest running annual
                 conferences in bioinformatics or computational biology.
                 GIW has played an important role in the development of
                 the bioinformatics community in the Asia-Pacific region
                 since its establishment in 1990. The first GIW was held
                 as a Japanese workshop (called the Genome Informatics
                 Workshop) in Tokyo, Japan, in 1990. It has been held
                 annually since then, switching from a domestic
                 conference to an international one in 1993 and updating
                 its official name to the current ``International
                 Conference on Genome Informatics'' in 2001. GIW was
                 held in Japan (Tokyo or Yokohama) until 2006, but since
                 then GIW has been held in various locations in the
                 Asia-Pacific region. The 18th GIW was held in Singapore
                 in 2007. In the following years, GIW was held in Gold
                 Coast, Australia (2008); Yokohama, Japan (2009);
                 Hangzhou, China (2010); Busan, Korea (2011); Tainan,
                 Taiwan (2012); and again in Singapore in 2013. With its
                 long history and track record in attracting
                 state-of-the art bioinformatics research in general,
                 and especially algorithmic work, GIW is arguably not
                 only the top bioinformatics conference in the
                 Asia-Pacific region, but also one of the most important
                 worldwide. Now solidly established as an international
                 conference, GIW will be revisiting its birthplace,
                 Tokyo, for 2014 and 2015.",

                 overlaps are essential for various bioinformatics
                 applications. A majority of fast algorithms for
                 searching the overlaps between a query range (e.g., a
                 genomic variant) and a set of N reference ranges (e.g.,
                 exons) has time complexity of O ( k + log N ), where k
                 denotes a term related to the length and location of
                 the reference ranges. Here, we present a simple but
                 efficient algorithm that reduces k, based on the
                 maximum reference range length. Specifically, for a
                 given query range and the maximum reference range
                 length, the proposed method divides the reference range
                 set into three subsets: always, potentially, and never
                 overlapping. Therefore, search effort can be reduced by
                 excluding never overlapping subset. We demonstrate that
                 the running time of the proposed algorithm is
                 proportional to potentially overlapping subset size,
                 that is proportional to the maximum reference range

  abstract =     "Named-entity recognition (NER) plays an important role
                 in the development of biomedical databases. However,
                 the existing NER tools produce multifarious
                 named-entities which may result in both curatable and
                 non-curatable markers. To facilitate biocuration with a
                 straightforward approach, classifying curatable
                 named-entities is helpful with regard to accelerating
                 the biocuration workflow. Co-occurrence Interaction
                 Nexus with Named-entity Recognition (CoINNER) is a
                 web-based tool that allows users to identify genes,
                 chemicals, diseases, and action term mentions in the
                 Comparative Toxicogenomic Database (CTD). To further
                 discover interactions, CoINNER uses multiple advanced
                 algorithms to recognize the mentions in the BioCreative
                 IV CTD Track. CoINNER is developed based on a prototype
                 system that annotated gene, chemical, and disease
                 mentions in PubMed abstracts at BioCreative 2012 Track
                 I (literature triage). We extended our previous system
                 in developing CoINNER. The pre-tagging results of
                 CoINNER were developed based on the state-of-the-art
                 named entity recognition tools in BioCreative III.
                 Next, a method based on conditional random fields
                 (CRFs) is proposed to predict chemical and disease
                 mentions in the articles. Finally, action term mentions
                 were collected by latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA). At
                 the BioCreative IV CTD Track, the best F-measures
                 reached for gene/protein, chemical/drug and disease NER
                 were 54 percent while CoINNER achieved a 61.5 percent

  abstract =     "Next-generation short-read sequencing is widely
                 utilized in genomic studies. Biological applications
                 require an alignment step to map sequencing reads to
                 the reference genome, before acquiring expected genomic
                 information. This requirement makes alignment accuracy
                 a key factor for effective biological interpretation.
                 Normally, when accounting for measurement errors and
                 single nucleotide polymorphisms, short read mappings
                 with a few mismatches are generally considered
                 acceptable. However, to further improve the efficiency
                 of short-read sequencing alignment, we propose a method
                 to retrieve additional reliably aligned reads (reads
                 with more than a pre-defined number of mismatches),
                 using a Bayesian-based approach. In this method, we
                 first retrieve the sequence context around the
                 mismatched nucleotides within the already aligned
                 reads; these loci contain the genomic features where
                 sequencing errors occur. Then, using the derived
                 pattern, we evaluate the remaining (typically
                 discarded) reads with more than the allowed number of
                 mismatches, and calculate a score that represents the
                 probability that a specific alignment is correct. This
                 strategy allows the extraction of more reliably aligned
                 reads, therefore improving alignment sensitivity.

  abstract =     "The introduction of next-generation sequencing
                 technologies has radically changed the way we view
                 structural genetic events. Microhomology-mediated
                 break-induced replication (MMBIR) is just one of the
                 many mechanisms that can cause genomic destabilization
                 that may lead to cancer. Although the mechanism for
                 MMBIR remains unclear, it has been shown that MMBIR is
                 typically associated with template-switching events.
                 Currently, to our knowledge, there is no existing
                 bioinformatics tool to detect these template-switching
                 events. We have developed MMBIRFinder, a method that
                 detects template-switching events associated with MMBIR
                 from whole-genome sequenced data. MMBIRFinder uses a
                 half-read alignment approach to identify potential
                 regions of interest. Clustering of these potential
                 regions helps narrow the search space to regions with
                 strong evidence. Subsequent local alignments identify
                 the template-switching events with single-nucleotide
                 accuracy. Using simulated data, MMBIRFinder identified
                 83 percent of the MMBIR regions within a five
                 nucleotide tolerance. Using real data, MMBIRFinder
                 identified 16 MMBIR regions on a normal breast tissue
                 data sample and 51 MMBIR regions on a triple-negative
                 breast cancer tumor sample resulting in detection of 37
                 novel template-switching events. Finally, we identified
                 template-switching events residing in the promoter
                 region of seven genes that have been implicated in
                 breast cancer. The program is freely available for

  abstract =     "Compressing heterogeneous collections of trees is an
                 open problem in computational phylogenetics. In a
                 heterogeneous tree collection, each tree can contain a
                 unique set of taxa. An ideal compression method would
                 allow for the efficient archival of large tree
                 collections and enable scientists to identify common
                 evolutionary relationships over disparate analyses. In
                 this paper, we extend TreeZip to compress heterogeneous
                 collections of trees. TreeZip is the most efficient
                 algorithm for compressing homogeneous tree collections.
                 To the best of our knowledge, no other domain-based
                 compression algorithm exists for large heterogeneous
                 tree collections or enable their rapid analysis. Our
                 experimental results indicate that TreeZip averages
                 89.03 percent (72.69 percent) space savings on
                 unweighted (weighted) collections of trees when the
                 level of heterogeneity in a collection is moderate. The
                 organization of the TRZ file allows for efficient
                 computations over heterogeneous data. For example,
                 consensus trees can be computed in mere seconds.
                 Lastly, combining the TreeZip compressed (TRZ) file
                 with general-purpose compression yields average space
                 savings of 97.34 percent (81.43 percent) on unweighted
                 (weighted) collections of trees. Our results lead us to
                 believe that TreeZip will prove invaluable in the
                 efficient archival of tree collections, and enables
                 scientists to develop novel methods for relating
                 heterogeneous collections of trees.",

                 most important approaches for identifying functional
                 modules and predicting protein functions. Furthermore,
                 visualization of clustering results is crucial to
                 uncover the structure of biological networks. In this
                 paper, ClusterViz, an APP of Cytoscape 3 for cluster
                 analysis and visualization, has been developed. In
                 order to reduce complexity and enable extendibility for
                 ClusterViz, we designed the architecture of ClusterViz
                 based on the framework of Open Services Gateway
                 Initiative. According to the architecture, the
                 implementation of ClusterViz is partitioned into three
                 modules including interface of ClusterViz, clustering
                 algorithms and visualization and export. ClusterViz
                 fascinates the comparison of the results of different
                 algorithms to do further related analysis. Three
                 commonly used clustering algorithms, FAG-EC, EAGLE and
                 MCODE, are included in the current version. Due to
                 adopting the abstract interface of algorithms in module
                 of the clustering algorithms, more clustering
                 algorithms can be included for the future use. To
                 illustrate usability of ClusterViz, we provided three
                 examples with detailed steps from the important
                 scientific articles, which show that our tool has

                 expression profiles. This algorithm is a model

  abstract =     "We propose a classifier system called iPFPi that
                 predicts the functions of un-annotated proteins. iPFPi
                 assigns an un-annotated protein P the functions of GO
                 annotation terms that are semantically similar to P. An
                 un-annotated protein P and a GO annotation term T are
                 represented by their characteristics. The
                 characteristics of P are GO terms found within the
                 abstracts of biomedical literature associated with P.
                 The characteristics of T are GO terms found within the
                 abstracts of biomedical literature associated with the
                 proteins annotated with the function of T. Let F and F
                 ' be the important (dominant) sets of characteristic
                 terms representing T and P, respectively. iPFPi would
                 annotate P with the function of T, if F and F ' are
                 semantically similar. We constructed a novel semantic
                 similarity measure that takes into consideration
                 several factors, such as the dominance degree of each
                 characteristic term t in set F based on its score,
                 which is a value that reflects the dominance status of
                 t relative to other characteristic terms, using
                 pairwise beats and looses procedure. Every time a
                 protein P is annotated with the function of T, iPFPi
                 updates and optimizes the current scores of the
                 characteristic terms for T based on the weights of the
                 characteristic terms for P. Set F will be updated
                 accordingly. Thus, the accuracy of predicting the
                 function of T as the function of subsequent proteins
                 improves. This prediction accuracy keeps improving over
                 time iteratively through the cumulative weights of the

                 learning algorithms are key instruments for many
                 applications, including the prediction of
                 gene-functions based upon the available biomolecular
                 annotations. Additionally, they may also be employed to
                 compute similarity between genes or proteins. Here, we
                 describe and discuss a software suite we developed to
                 implement and make publicly available some of such
                 prediction methods and a computational technique based
                 upon Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI), which leverages
                 both inferred and available annotations to search for
                 semantically similar genes. The suite consists of three
                 components. BioAnnotationPredictor is a computational
                 software module to predict new gene-functions based
                 upon Singular Value Decomposition of available
                 annotations. SimilBio is a Web module that leverages
                 annotations available or predicted by
                 BioAnnotationPredictor to discover similarities between
                 genes via LSI. The suite includes also SemSim, a new
                 Web service built upon these modules to allow accessing
                 them programmatically. We integrated SemSim in the Bio
                 Search Computing framework
                 (http://www.bioinformatics.deib.polimi.it/bio-seco/seco/),

                 to run multi-topic complex queries on multiple
                 integrated Web services. Accordingly, researchers may
                 obtain ranked answers involving the computation of the

  abstract =     "Adverse drug reaction (ADR) is a common clinical
                 problem, sometimes accompanying with high risk of
                 mortality and morbidity. It is also one of the major
                 factors that lead to failure in new drug development.
                 Unfortunately, most of current experimental and
                 computational methods are unable to evaluate clinical
                 safety of drug candidates in early drug discovery stage
                 due to the very limited knowledge of molecular
                 mechanisms underlying ADRs. Therefore, in this study,
                 we proposed a novel na{\"\i}ve Bayesian model for rapid
                 assessment of clinical ADRs with frequency estimation.
                 This model was constructed on a gene-ADR association
                 network, which covered 611 US FDA approved drugs,
                 14,251 genes, and 1,254 distinct ADR terms. An average
                 detection rate of 99.86 and 99.73 percent were achieved
                 eventually in identification of known ADRs in internal
                 test data set and external case analyses respectively.
                 Moreover, a comparative analysis between the estimated
                 frequencies of ADRs and their observed frequencies was
                 undertaken. It is observed that these two frequencies
                 have the similar distribution trend. These results
                 suggest that the na{\"\i}ve Bayesian model based on
                 gene-ADR association network can serve as an efficient
                 and economic tool in rapid ADRs assessment.",

  abstract =     "This study proposes a quantitative measurement of
                 split of the second heart sound (S2) based on
                 nonstationary signal decomposition to deal with
                 overlaps and energy modeling of the subcomponents of
                 S2. The second heart sound includes aortic (A2) and
                 pulmonic (P2) closure sounds. However, the split
                 detection is obscured due to A2-P2 overlap and low
                 energy of P2. To identify such split, HVD method is
                 used to decompose the S2 into a number of components
                 while preserving the phase information. Further, A2s
                 and P2s are localized using smoothed pseudo
                 Wigner-Ville distribution followed by reassignment
                 method. Finally, the split is calculated by taking the
                 differences between the means of time indices of A2s
                 and P2s. Experiments on total 33 clips of S2 signals
                 are performed for evaluation of the method. The mean
                 \pm standard deviation of the split is 34.7 \pm 4.6 ms.
                 The method measures the split efficiently, even when
                 A2-P2 overlap is {$<$}= 20 ms and the normalized peak
                 temporal ratio of P2 to A2 is low ({$>$}= 0.22). This
                 proposed method thus, demonstrates its robustness by
                 defining split detectability (SDT), the split detection
                 aptness through detecting P2s, by measuring upto 96
                 percent. Such findings reveal the effectiveness of the
                 method as competent against the other baselines,
                 especially for A2-P2 overlaps and low energy P2.",

                 images is an important step to improve any quantitative
                 measurement of the acquired data. In this paper,
                 assuming a Rician noise model, a new filtering method
                 based on the linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE)
                 estimation is introduced, which employs the
                 self-similarity property of the MR data to restore the
                 noise-less signal. This method takes into account the
                 structural characteristics of images and the Bayesian
                 mean square error (Bmse) of the estimator to address
                 the denoising problem. In general, a twofold data
                 processing approach is developed; first, the noisy MR
                 data is processed using a patch-based L$^2$ -norm
                 similarity measure to provide the primary set of
                 samples required for the estimation process.
                 Afterwards, the Bmse of the estimator is derived as the
                 optimization function to analyze the pre-selected
                 samples and minimize the error between the estimated
                 and the underlying signal. Compared to the LMMSE method
                 and also its recently proposed SNR-adapted realization
                 (SNLMMSE), the optimized way of choosing the samples
                 together with the automatic adjustment of the filtering
                 parameters lead to a more robust estimation performance
                 with our approach. Experimental results show the
                 competitive performance of the proposed method in
                 comparison with related state-of-the-art methods.",

                 protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks is
                 fundamental for understanding biological processes and
                 cellular molecular mechanisms. Many graph computational
                 algorithms have been proposed to identify protein
                 complexes from PPI networks by detecting densely
                 connected groups of proteins. These algorithms assess
                 the density of subgraphs through evaluation of the sum
                 of individual edges or nodes; thus, incomplete and
                 inaccurate measures may miss meaningful biological
                 protein complexes with functional significance. In this
                 study, we propose a novel method for assessing the
                 compactness of local subnetworks by measuring the
                 number of three node cliques. The present method
                 detects each optimal cluster by growing a seed and
                 maximizing the compactness function. To demonstrate the
                 efficacy of the new proposed method, we evaluate its
                 performance using five PPI networks on three reference
                 sets of yeast protein complexes with five different
                 measurements and compare the performance of the
                 proposed method with four state-of-the-art methods. The
                 results show that the protein complexes generated by
                 the proposed method are of better quality than those
                 generated by four classic methods. Therefore, the new
                 proposed method is effective and useful for detecting
                 protein complexes in PPI networks.",

                 expression profiles, which is crucial in facilitating
                 the successful diagnosis and treatment of cancer. While

                 based cluster ensemble framework (RDCCE) to perform
                 tumor clustering based on gene expression data.
                 Specifically, RDCCE generates a set of representative
                 features using a randomly selected clustering algorithm
                 in the ensemble, and then assigns samples to their
                 corresponding clusters based on the grouping results.
                 In addition, we also introduce the random double
                 clustering based fuzzy cluster ensemble framework
                 (RDCFCE), which is designed to improve the performance
                 of RDCCE by integrating the newly proposed fuzzy
                 extension model into the ensemble framework. RDCFCE
                 adopts the normalized cut algorithm as the consensus
                 function to summarize the fuzzy matrices generated by
                 the fuzzy extension models, partition the consensus
                 matrix, and obtain the final result. Finally, adaptive
                 RDCFCE (A-RDCFCE) is proposed to optimize RDCFCE and
                 improve the performance of RDCFCE further by adopting a
                 self-evolutionary process (SEPP) for the parameter set.
                 Experiments on real cancer gene expression profiles
                 indicate that RDCFCE and A-RDCFCE works well on these
                 data sets, and outperform most of the state-of-the-art
                 tumor clustering algorithms.",

                 units of proteins and play a critical role in
                 comparative and functional genomics. Computational
                 assignment of domain function with high reliability is
                 essential for understanding whole-protein functions.
                 However, functional annotations are conventionally
                 assigned onto full-length proteins rather than
                 associating specific functions to the individual
                 structural domains. In this article, we present
                 Structural Domain Annotation (SDA), a novel
                 computational approach to predict functions for SCOP
                 structural domains. The SDA method integrates
                 heterogeneous information sources, including structure
                 alignment based protein-SCOP mapping features,
                 InterPro2GO mapping information, PSSM Profiles, and
                 sequence neighborhood features, with a Bayesian
                 network. By large-scale annotating Gene Ontology terms
                 to SCOP domains with SDA, we obtained a database of
                 SCOP domain to Gene Ontology mappings, which contains
                 ~162,000 out of the approximately 166,900 domains in
                 SCOPe 2.03 ({$>$97} percent) and their predicted Gene
                 Ontology functions. We have benchmarked SDA using a
                 single-domain protein dataset and an independent
                 dataset from different species. Comparative studies
                 show that SDA significantly outperforms the existing

                 acquired by liquid chromatography coupled with mass
                 spectrometry (LC--MS) in label-free differential
                 expression analysis. Normalization of LC--MS data is
                 desired prior to subsequent statistical analysis to
                 adjust variabilities in ion intensities that are not
                 caused by biological differences but experimental bias.
                 There are different sources of bias including
                 variabilities during sample collection and sample
                 storage, poor experimental design, noise, etc. In
                 addition, instrument variability in experiments
                 involving a large number of LC--MS runs leads to a
                 significant drift in intensity measurements. Although
                 various methods have been proposed for normalization of

                 BNM with drift (BNMD) to compensate for the variability
                 in intensity measurements due to long LC--MS runs. We
                 evaluated the performance of our method using synthetic
                 and experimental data. In comparison with several

  abstract =     "Identification of cancer subtypes plays an important
                 role in revealing useful insights into disease
                 pathogenesis and advancing personalized therapy. The
                 recent development of high-throughput sequencing
                 technologies has enabled the rapid collection of
                 multi-platform genomic data (e.g., gene expression,
                 miRNA expression, and DNA methylation) for the same set
                 of tumor samples. Although numerous integrative
                 clustering approaches have been developed to analyze
                 cancer data, few of them are particularly designed to
                 exploit both deep intrinsic statistical properties of
                 each input modality and complex cross-modality
                 correlations among multi-platform input data. In this
                 paper, we propose a new machine learning model, called
                 multimodal deep belief network (DBN), to cluster cancer
                 patients from multi-platform observation data. In our
                 integrative clustering framework, relationships among
                 inherent features of each single modality are first
                 encoded into multiple layers of hidden variables, and
                 then a joint latent model is employed to fuse common
                 features derived from multiple input modalities. A
                 practical learning algorithm, called contrastive
                 divergence (CD), is applied to infer the parameters of
                 our multimodal DBN model in an unsupervised manner.
                 Tests on two available cancer datasets show that our
                 integrative data analysis approach can effectively
                 extract a unified representation of latent features to
                 capture both intra- and cross-modality correlations,
                 and identify meaningful disease subtypes from
                 multi-platform cancer data. In addition, our approach
                 can identify key genes and miRNAs that may play
                 distinct roles in the pathogenesis of different cancer
                 subtypes. Among those key miRNAs, we found that the
                 expression level of miR-29a is highly correlated with
                 survival time in ovarian cancer patients. These results
                 indicate that our multimodal DBN based data analysis
                 approach may have practical applications in cancer
                 pathogenesis studies and provide useful guidelines for
                 personalized cancer therapy.",

                 intervention in gene regulatory networks (GRNs) to
                 affect cell behavior; in particular, to alter
                 pathological phenotypes. Owing to the complexity of
                 GRNs, accurate network inference is practically
                 challenging and GRN models often contain considerable
                 amounts of uncertainty. Considering the cost and time
                 required for conducting biological experiments, it is
                 desirable to have a systematic method for prioritizing
                 potential experiments so that an experiment can be
                 chosen to optimally reduce network uncertainty.
                 Moreover, from a translational perspective it is
                 crucial that GRN uncertainty be quantified and reduced
                 in a manner that pertains to the operational cost that
                 it induces, such as the cost of network intervention.
                 In this work, we utilize the concept of mean objective
                 cost of uncertainty (MOCU) to propose a novel framework
                 for optimal experimental design. In the proposed
                 framework, potential experiments are prioritized based
                 on the MOCU expected to remain after conducting the
                 experiment. Based on this prioritization, one can
                 select an optimal experiment with the largest potential
                 to reduce the pertinent uncertainty present in the
                 current network model. We demonstrate the effectiveness

                 wide swath of regulatory processes. On the other hand,
                 it has been hypothesized that the phenomenon of
                 intrinsically multivariate prediction (IMP) is
                 associated with canalization. However, applications
                 have relied on user-selectable thresholds on the IMP
                 score to decide on the presence of IMP. A methodology
                 is developed here that avoids arbitrary thresholds, by
                 providing a statistical test for the IMP score. In
                 addition, the proposed procedure allows the
                 incorporation of prior knowledge if available, which
                 can alleviate the problem of loss of power due to small
                 sample sizes. The issue of multiplicity of tests is
                 addressed by family-wise error rate (FWER) and false
                 discovery rate (FDR) controlling approaches. The
                 proposed methodology is demonstrated by experiments

                 studies on melanoma and ionizing radiation (IR)
                 responsive genes. The results with the real data

                 genes associated with melanoma and IR response,
                 respectively, as the genes with a clear majority of IMP
                 predictor pairs. This validates the potential of the
                 proposed methodology as a tool for discovery of
                 canalizing genes from binary gene-expression data. The

  abstract =     "Relative terms often appear together in the
                 literature. Methods have been presented for weighting
                 relativity of pairwise terms by their co-occurring
                 literature and inferring new relationship. Terms in the
                 literature are also in the directed acyclic graph of
                 ontologies, such as Gene Ontology and Disease Ontology.
                 Therefore, semantic association between terms may help
                 for establishing relativities between terms in
                 literature. However, current methods do not use these
                 associations. In this paper, an adjusted R-scaled score
                 (ARSS) based on information content (ARSSIC) method is
                 introduced to infer new relationship between terms.
                 First, set inclusion relationship between terms of
                 ontology was exploited to extend relationships between
                 these terms and literature. Next, the ARSS method was
                 presented to measure relativity between terms across
                 ontologies according to these extensional
                 relationships. Then, the ARSSIC method using ratios of
                 information shared of term's ancestors was designed to
                 infer new relationship between terms across ontologies.
                 The result of the experiment shows that ARSS identified
                 more pairs of statistically significant terms based on
                 corresponding gene sets than other methods. And the
                 high average area under the receiver operating
                 characteristic curve (0.9293) shows that ARSSIC
                 achieved a high true positive rate and a low false
                 positive rate. Data is available at
                 http://mlg.hit.edu.cn/ARSSIC/.",

  abstract =     "In this paper, we present an integer linear
                 programming (ILP) approach, called CoRe-ILP, for
                 finding an optimal time consistent cophylogenetic
                 host-parasite reconciliation under the cophylogenetic
                 event model with the events cospeciation, duplication,
                 sorting, host switch, and failure to diverge. Instead
                 of assuming event costs, a simplified model is used,
                 maximizing primarily for cospeciations and secondarily
                 minimizing host switching events. Duplications,
                 sortings, and failure to diverge events are not
                 explicitly scored. Different from existing event based
                 reconciliation methods, CoRe-ILP can use (approximate)
                 phylogenetic branch lengths for filtering possible
                 ancestral host-parasite interactions. Experimentally,
                 it is shown that CoRe-ILP can successfully use branch
                 length information and performs well for biological and
                 simulated data sets. The results of CoRe-ILP are

                 assemble the chromatin. Nucleosome positioning plays an
                 important role in gene transcription regulation, DNA
                 replication and repair, alternative splicing, and so
                 on. With the rapid development of ChIP-seq, it is
                 possible to computationally detect the positions of
                 nucleosomes on chromosomes. However, existing methods
                 cannot provide accurate and detailed information about
                 the detected nucleosomes, especially for the
                 nucleosomes with complex configurations where overlaps
                 and noise exist. Meanwhile, they usually require some
                 prior knowledge of nucleosomes as input, such as the
                 size or the number of the unknown nucleosomes, which
                 may significantly influence the detection results. In
                 this paper, we propose a novel approach DPNuc for
                 identifying nucleosome positions based on the Dirichlet
                 process mixture model. In our method, Markov chain
                 Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations are employed to
                 determine the mixture model with no need of prior
                 knowledge about nucleosomes. Compared with three
                 existing methods, our approach can provide more
                 detailed information of the detected nucleosomes and
                 can more reasonably reveal the real configurations of
                 the chromosomes; especially, our approach performs
                 better in the complex overlapping situations. By
                 mapping the detected nucleosomes to a synthetic
                 benchmark nucleosome map and two existing benchmark
                 nucleosome maps, it is shown that our approach achieves
                 a better performance in identifying nucleosome
                 positions and gets a higher $F$-score. Finally, we show
                 that our approach can more reliably detect the size
                 distribution of nucleosomes.",

  abstract =     "Recent advances of technology have made it easy to
                 obtain and compare whole genomes. Rearrangements of
                 genomes through operations such as reversals and
                 transpositions are rare events that enable researchers
                 to reconstruct deep evolutionary history among species.
                 Some of the popular methods need to search a large tree
                 space for the best scored tree, thus it is desirable to
                 have a fast and accurate method that can score a given
                 tree efficiently. During the tree scoring procedure,
                 the genomic structures of internal tree nodes are also
                 provided, which provide important information for
                 inferring ancestral genomes and for modeling the
                 evolutionary processes. However, computing tree scores
                 and ancestral genomes are very difficult and a lot of
                 researchers have to rely on heuristic methods which
                 have various disadvantages. In this paper, we describe
                 the first genetic algorithm for tree scoring and
                 ancestor inference, which uses a fitness function
                 considering co-evolution, adopts different initial
                 seeding methods to initialize the first population
                 pool, and utilizes a sorting-based approach to realize
                 evolution. Our extensive experiments show that compared
                 with other existing algorithms, this new method is more
                 accurate and can infer ancestral genomes that are much
                 closer to the true ancestors.",

                 complete understanding of differences between
                 individuals at the genetic level. Given a collection of
                 DNA fragments sequenced from a homologous pair of
                 chromosomes, the problem of single individual
                 haplotyping (SIH) aims to reconstruct a pair of
                 haplotypes using a computer algorithm. In this paper,
                 we encode the information of aligned DNA fragments into
                 a two-locus linkage graph and approach the SIH problem
                 by vertex labeling of the graph. In order to find a
                 vertex labeling with the minimum sum of weights of
                 incompatible edges, we develop a fast and accurate
                 heuristic algorithm. It starts with detecting
                 error-tolerant components by an adapted breadth-first
                 search. A proper labeling of vertices is then
                 identified for each component, with which sequencing
                 errors are further corrected and edge weights are
                 adjusted accordingly. After contracting each
                 error-tolerant component into a single vertex, the
                 above procedure is iterated on the resulting condensed
                 linkage graph until error-tolerant components are no
                 longer detected. The algorithm finally outputs a
                 haplotype pair based on the vertex labeling. Extensive
                 experiments on simulated and real data show that our

  abstract =     "Recently, glycomics has been actively studied and
                 various technologies for glycomics have been rapidly
                 developed. Currently, tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS)
                 is one of the key experimental tools for identification
                 of structures of oligosaccharides. MS/MS can observe
                 MS/MS peaks of fragmented glycan ions including
                 cross-ring ions resulting from internal cleavages,
                 which provide valuable information to infer glycan
                 structures. Thus, the aim of de novo sequencing of
                 glycans is to find the most probable assignments of
                 observed MS/MS peaks to glycan substructures without
                 databases. However, there are few satisfiable
                 algorithms for glycan de novo sequencing from MS/MS
                 spectra. We present a machine learning based approach
                 to de novo sequencing of glycans from MS/MS spectrum.
                 First, we build a suitable model for the fragmentation
                 of glycans including cross-ring ions, and implement a
                 solver that employs Lagrangian relaxation with a
                 dynamic programming technique. Then, to optimize scores
                 for the algorithm, we introduce a machine learning
                 technique called structured support vector machines
                 that enable us to learn parameters including scores for
                 cross-ring ions from training data, i.e., known glycan
                 mass spectra. Furthermore, we implement additional
                 constraints for core structures of well-known glycan
                 types including N-linked glycans and O-linked glycans.
                 This enables us to predict more accurate glycan
                 structures if the glycan type of given spectra is
                 known. Computational experiments show that our
                 algorithm performs accurate de novo sequencing of
                 glycans. The implementation of our algorithm and the
                 datasets are available at

                 data thanks to the fast development of sequencing
                 technology. This situation poses serious challenges to
                 genomic data storage and transferring. It is desirable
                 to compress data to reduce storage and transferring
                 cost, and thus to boost data distribution and
                 utilization efficiency. Up to now, a number of
                 algorithms / tools have been developed for compressing
                 genomic sequences. Unlike the existing algorithms, most
                 of which treat genomes as one-dimensional text strings
                 and compress them based on dictionaries or probability
                 models, this paper proposes a novel approach called
                 CoGI (the abbreviation of Compressing Genomes as an
                 Image) for genome compression, which transforms the
                 genomic sequences to a two-dimensional binary image (or
                 bitmap), then applies a rectangular partition coding
                 algorithm to compress the binary image. CoGI can be
                 used as either a reference-based compressor or a
                 reference-free compressor. For the former, we develop
                 two entropy-based algorithms to select a proper
                 reference genome. Performance evaluation is conducted
                 on various genomes. Experimental results show that the
                 reference-based CoGI significantly outperforms two
                 state-of-the-art reference-based genome compressors
                 GReEn and RLZ-opt in both compression ratio and
                 compression efficiency. It also achieves comparable
                 compression ratio but two orders of magnitude higher
                 compression efficiency in comparison with XM-one
                 state-of-the-art reference-free genome compressor.
                 Furthermore, our approach performs much better than
                 Gzip-a general-purpose and widely-used compressor, in
                 both compression speed and compression ratio. So, CoGI
                 can serve as an effective and practical genome
                 compressor. The source code and other related documents

                 fruitful exploratory technique to reveal the underlying
                 molecular mechanism by identifying groups of
                 co-expressed genes. To reduce the noise, usually
                 multiple experimental replicates are performed. An
                 integrative analysis of the full replicate data,
                 instead of reducing the data to the mean profile,
                 carries the promise of yielding more precise and robust

  abstract =     "Phenotype classification via genomic data is hampered
                 by small sample sizes that negatively impact classifier
                 design. Utilization of prior biological knowledge in
                 conjunction with training data can improve both
                 classifier design and error estimation via the
                 construction of the optimal Bayesian classifier. In the
                 genomic setting, gene/protein signaling pathways
                 provide a key source of biological knowledge. Although
                 these pathways are neither complete, nor regulatory,
                 with no timing associated with them, they are capable
                 of constraining the set of possible models representing
                 the underlying interaction between molecules. The aim
                 of this paper is to provide a framework and the
                 mathematical tools to transform signaling pathways to
                 prior probabilities governing uncertainty classes of
                 feature-label distributions used in classifier design.
                 Structural motifs extracted from the signaling pathways
                 are mapped to a set of constraints on a prior
                 probability on a Multinomial distribution. Being the
                 conjugate prior for the Multinomial distribution, we
                 propose optimization paradigms to estimate the
                 parameters of a Dirichlet distribution in the Bayesian
                 setting. The performance of the proposed methods is
                 tested on two widely studied pathways: mammalian cell
                 cycle and a p53 pathway model.",

  abstract =     "Traditionally, intra-sequence similarity is exploited
                 for compressing a single DNA sequence. Recently,
                 remarkable compression performance of individual DNA
                 sequence from the same population is achieved by
                 encoding its difference with a nearly identical
                 reference sequence. Nevertheless, there is lack of
                 general algorithms that also allow less similar
                 reference sequences. In this work, we extend the
                 intra-sequence to the inter-sequence similarity in that
                 approximate matches of subsequences are found between
                 the DNA sequence and a set of reference sequences.
                 Hence, a set of nearly identical DNA sequences from the
                 same population or a set of partially similar DNA
                 sequences like chromosome sequences and DNA sequences
                 of related species can be compressed together. For
                 practical compressors, the compressed size is usually
                 influenced by the compression order of sequences. Fast
                 search algorithms for the optimal compression order are
                 thus developed for multiple sequences compression.
                 Experimental results on artificial and real datasets

  abstract =     "Identification of protein complexes is fundamental for
                 understanding the cellular functional organization.
                 With the accumulation of physical protein-protein
                 interaction (PPI) data, computational detection of
                 protein complexes from available PPI networks has drawn
                 a lot of attentions. While most of the existing protein
                 complex detection algorithms focus on analyzing the
                 physical protein-protein interaction network, none of
                 them take into account the ``signs'' (i.e.,
                 activation-inhibition relationships) of physical
                 interactions. As the ``signs'' of interactions reflect
                 the way proteins communicate, considering the ``signs''
                 of interactions can not only increase the accuracy of
                 protein complex identification, but also deepen our
                 understanding of the mechanisms of cell functions. In
                 this study, we proposed a novel Signed Graph
                 regularized Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (SGNMF)
                 model to identify protein complexes from signed PPI
                 networks. In our experiments, we compared the results
                 collected by our model on signed PPI networks with
                 those predicted by the state-of-the-art complex
                 detection techniques on the original unsigned PPI
                 networks. We observed that considering the ``signs'' of
                 interactions significantly benefits the detection of
                 protein complexes. Furthermore, based on the predicted
                 complexes, we predicted a set of signed complex-complex
                 interactions for each dataset, which provides a novel
                 insight of the higher level organization of the cell.

  abstract =     "RNA-Seq technology offers new high-throughput ways for
                 transcript identification and quantification based on
                 short reads, and has recently attracted great interest.
                 This is achieved by constructing a weighted DAG whose
                 vertices stand for exons, and whose arcs stand for
                 split alignments of the RNA-Seq reads to the exons. The
                 task consists of finding a number of paths, together
                 with their expression levels, which optimally explain
                 the weights of the graph under various fitting
                 functions, such as least sum of squared residuals. In
                 (Tomescu et al. BMC Bioinformatics, 2013) we studied
                 this genome-guided multi-assembly problem when the
                 number of allowed solution paths was linear in the
                 number of arcs. In this paper, we further refine this
                 problem by asking for a bounded number $k$ of solution
                 paths, which is the setting of most practical interest.
                 We formulate this problem in very broad terms, and show
                 that for many choices of the fitting function it
                 becomes NP-hard. Nevertheless, we identify a natural
                 graph parameter of a DAG $G$ , which we call arc-width
                 and denote $ \langle G \rangle $ , and give a dynamic
                 programming algorithm running in time $ O(W^k \langle G
                 \rangle^k(\langle G \rangle + k)n)$ , where $n$ is the
                 number of vertices and $W$ is the maximum weight of
                 $G$. This implies that the problem is fixed-parameter
                 tractable (FPT) in the parameters $W$ , $ \langle G
                 \rangle $ $k$ . We also show that the arc-width of DAGs
                 constructed from simulated and real RNA-Seq reads is
                 small in practice. Finally, we study the
                 approximability of this problem, and, in particular,
                 give a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme
                 (FPTAS) for the case when the fitting function
                 penalizes the maximum ratio between the weights of the
                 arcs and their predicted coverage.",

                 prominent, clinically viable approach for the treatment
                 of AIDS. Few non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase
                 inhibitors (NNRTIs) have been approved by the United
                 States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) as drugs

                 4-thiazolidinone and its derivatives that are known to
                 have remarkable antiviral potency. Our molecular
                 docking and simulation experiments have identified one

                 Results are also compared with other US FDA approved
                 drugs. Long de novo simulations and docking study
                 suggest that the ligand

                 3-thiazolidine-2,4-dione (CID: 1656714) has strong

                 Asp186 amino acids, all of which belong to one or the
                 other catalytic pockets of HIV-1RT. It is expected that
                 these interactions could be critical in the inhibitory
                 activity of the HIV-1RT. Therefore, this study provides

                 biology-related feature ranking methods mainly focus on
                 statistical and annotation information. In this study,
                 two efficient feature ranking methods are presented.
                 Multi-target regression and graph embedding are
                 incorporated in an optimization framework, and feature
                 ranking is achieved by introducing structured sparsity
                 norm. Unlike existing methods, the presented methods
                 have two advantages: (1) the feature subset
                 simultaneously account for global margin information as
                 well as locality manifold information. Consequently,
                 both global and locality information are considered.
                 (2) Features are selected by batch rather than
                 individually in the algorithm framework. Thus, the
                 interactions between features are considered and the
                 optimal feature subset can be guaranteed. In addition,
                 this study presents a theoretical justification.
                 Empirical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and
                 efficiency of the two algorithms in comparison with
                 some state-of-the-art feature ranking methods through a
                 set of real-world gene expression data sets.",

  abstract =     "The prediction of RNA-binding proteins is an
                 incredibly challenging problem in computational
                 biology. Although great progress has been made using
                 various machine learning approaches with numerous
                 features, the problem is still far from being solved.
                 In this study, we attempt to predict RNA-binding
                 proteins directly from amino acid sequences. A novel
                 approach, PRBP predicts RNA-binding proteins using the
                 information of predicted RNA-binding residues in
                 conjunction with a random forest based method. For a
                 given protein, we first predict its RNA-binding
                 residues and then judge whether the protein binds RNA
                 or not based on information from that prediction. If
                 the protein cannot be identified by the information
                 associated with its predicted RNA-binding residues,
                 then a novel random forest predictor is used to
                 determine if the query protein is a RNA-binding
                 protein. We incorporated features of evolutionary
                 information combined with physicochemical features
                 (EIPP) and amino acid composition feature to establish
                 the random forest predictor. Feature analysis showed
                 that EIPP contributed the most to the prediction of
                 RNA-binding proteins. The results also showed that the
                 information from the RNA-binding residue prediction
                 improved the overall performance of our RNA-binding
                 protein prediction. It is anticipated that the PRBP
                 method will become a useful tool for identifying
                 RNA-binding proteins. A PRBP Web server implementation

                 rational design or redesign of biochemical networks for
                 optimizing metabolic engineering and synthetic biology
                 objectives such as production of desired chemicals or
                 biomolecules from specific nutrients. While
                 experimental methods can be quite successful,
                 computational approaches can enhance discovery and
                 guide experimentation by efficiently exploring very
                 large design spaces. We present a computational
                 algorithm, Predictably Profitable Path (PreProPath), to
                 identify target pathways best suited for engineering
                 modifications. The algorithm utilizes uncertainties
                 about the metabolic networks operating state inherent
                 in the underdetermined linear equations representing

                 containing the least restrictive flux-limiting reaction
                 in the network. The algorithm is computationally
                 efficient because it does not require enumeration of

                 (ChIP) with sequencing (ChIP-Seq) technology, massive
                 ChIP-Seq data has been accumulated. The ChIP-Seq
                 technology measures the genome-wide occupancy of
                 DNA-binding proteins in vivo. It is well-known that
                 different DNA-binding protein occupancies may result in
                 a gene being regulated in different conditions (e.g.
                 different cell types). To fully understand a gene's
                 function, it is essential to develop probabilistic
                 models on multiple ChIP-Seq profiles for deciphering
                 the gene transcription causalities. In this work, we
                 propose and describe two probabilistic models. Assuming
                 the conditional independence of different DNA-binding
                 proteins' occupancies, the first method (SignalRanker)
                 is developed as an intuitive method for ChIP-Seq
                 genome-wide signal profile inference. Unfortunately,
                 such an assumption may not always hold in some gene
                 regulation cases. Thus, we propose and describe another
                 method (FullSignalRanker) which does not make the
                 conditional independence assumption. The proposed
                 methods are compared with other existing methods on
                 ENCODE ChIP-Seq datasets, demonstrating its regression
                 and classification ability. The results suggest that
                 FullSignalRanker is the best-performing method for
                 recovering the signal ranks on the promoter and
                 enhancer regions. In addition, FullSignalRanker is also
                 the best-performing method for peak sequence
                 classification. We envision that SignalRanker and
                 FullSignalRanker will become important in the era of
                 next generation sequencing. FullSignalRanker program is

                 along an ordered lattice of sites, but only if the next

                 recurrence. In this regard, a hybrid scoring criterion
                 was designed as linear combinations of the scores that
                 were determined in the mutual information (MI) domain
                 and protein-protein interactions network. Whereas, the

                 between the selected genes for outcome prediction; and
                 the number of connections in the PPI network between
                 the selected genes builds the PPI-based score. All
                 genes were scored by using the proposed function in a

                 predicts the binding energy and the preferred binding
                 mode of a ligand to a protein target. Virtual screening
                 is a tool which uses docking to investigate large
                 chemical libraries to identify ligands that bind
                 favorably to a protein target. We have developed a
                 novel scoring based distributed protein docking
                 application to improve enrichment in virtual screening.
                 The application addresses the issue of time and cost of
                 screening in contrast to conventional systematic
                 parallel virtual screening methods in two ways.
                 Firstly, it automates the process of creating and
                 launching multiple independent dockings on a high
                 performance computing cluster. Secondly, it uses a
                 Na{\"\i}ve Bayes scoring function to calculate binding
                 energy of un-docked ligands to identify and
                 preferentially dock (Autodock predicted) better
                 binders. The application was tested on four proteins
                 using a library of 10,573 ligands. In all the
                 experiments, (i). 200 of the 1,000 best binders are
                 identified after docking only $ \sim 14 $ percent of
                 the chemical library, (ii). 9 or 10 best-binders are
                 identified after docking only $ \sim 19 $ percent of
                 the chemical library, and (iii). no significant
                 enrichment is observed after docking $ \sim 70 $
                 percent of the chemical library. The results show
                 significant increase in enrichment of potential drug

                 course of events during early plant development is of
                 major interest for plant research. In this work, we
                 investigate the growth of rosette plants by processing
                 time-lapse videos of growing plants, where we use
                 Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) as a model plant. In each
                 frame of the video sequences, potential leaves are
                 detected using a leaf-shape model. These detections are
                 prone to errors due to the complex shape of plants and
                 their changing appearance in the image, depending on
                 leaf movement, leaf growth, and illumination
                 conditions. To cope with this problem, we employ a
                 novel graph-based tracking algorithm which can bridge
                 gaps in the sequence by linking leaf detections across
                 a range of neighboring frames. We use the overlap of
                 fitted leaf models as a pairwise similarity measure,
                 and forbid graph edges that would link leaf detections
                 within a single frame. We tested the method on a set of
                 tobacco-plant growth sequences, and could track the
                 first leaves of the plant, including partially or
                 temporarily occluded ones, along complete sequences,
                 demonstrating the applicability of the method to
                 automatic plant growth analysis. All seedlings
                 displayed approximately the same growth behavior, and a
                 characteristic growth signature was found.",

                 when it is at all possible to determine the nonlinear
                 dynamic equations of a biological system in stable
                 oscillation, from measured data. As it turns out the
                 minimal order needed for this is dependent on the
                 minimal dimension in which the stable orbit of the
                 system does not intersect itself. This is illustrated
                 with a simulated fourth order Hodgkin--Huxley spiking
                 neuron model, which is identified using a non-linear
                 second order differential equation model. The simulated
                 result illustrates that the underlying higher order
                 model of the spiking neuron cannot be uniquely
                 determined given only the periodic measured data. The
                 result of the paper is of general validity when the
                 dynamics of biological systems in stable oscillation is
                 identified, and illustrates the need to carefully
                 address non-linear identifiability aspects when

  abstract =     "A gene involved in complex regulatory interactions may
                 have multiple regulators since gene expression in such
                 interactions is often controlled by more than one gene.
                 Another thing that makes gene regulatory interactions
                 complicated is that regulatory interactions are not
                 static, but change over time during the cell cycle.
                 Most research so far has focused on identifying gene
                 regulatory relations between individual genes in a
                 particular stage of the cell cycle. In this study we
                 developed a method for identifying dynamic gene
                 regulations of several types from the time-series gene
                 expression data. The method can find gene regulations
                 with multiple regulators that work in combination or
                 individually as well as those with single regulators.
                 The method has been implemented as the second version
                 of GeneNetFinder (hereafter called GeneNetFinder2) and
                 tested on several gene expression datasets.
                 Experimental results with gene expression data revealed
                 the existence of genes that are not regulated by
                 individual genes but rather by a combination of several
                 genes. Such gene regulatory relations cannot be found
                 by conventional methods. Our method finds such
                 regulatory relations as well as those with multiple,
                 independent regulators or single regulators, and
                 represents gene regulatory relations as a dynamic
                 network in which different gene regulatory relations
                 are shown in different stages of the cell cycle.
                 GeneNetFinder2 is available at
                 http://bclab.inha.ac.kr/GeneNetFinder and will be
                 useful for modeling dynamic gene regulations with
                 multiple regulators.",

                 statistical methods are combined for preliminary gene
                 selection (Multiple Fusion Filter). Then, different
                 relevant gene subsets are selected by using an embedded

                 Vector Machine (SVM). A gene subset, consisting of the

                 analyzing the frequency of each gene in the different

                 women worldwide. It remains a leading cause of
                 cancer-related death for women in developing countries.
                 In order to contribute to the treatment of the cervical
                 cancer, in our work, we try to find a few key genes
                 resulting in the cervical cancer. Employing functions
                 of several bioinformatics tools, we selected 143
                 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with
                 the cervical cancer. The results of bioinformatics
                 analysis show that these DEGs play important roles in
                 the development of cervical cancer. Through comparing
                 two differential co-expression networks (DCNs) at two
                 different states, we found a common sub-network and two
                 differential sub-networks as well as some hub genes in
                 three sub-networks. Moreover, some of the hub genes
                 have been reported to be related to the cervical
                 cancer. Those hub genes were analyzed from Gene
                 Ontology function enrichment, pathway enrichment and
                 protein binding three aspects. The results can help us
                 understand the development of the cervical cancer and
                 guide further experiments about the cervical cancer.",

  abstract =     "Protein sub-cellular localization prediction has
                 attracted much attention in recent years because of its
                 importance for protein function studying and targeted
                 drug discovery, and that makes it to be an important
                 research field in bioinformatics. Traditional
                 experimental methods which ascertain the protein
                 sub-cellular locations are costly and time consuming.
                 In the last two decades, machine learning methods got
                 increasing development, and a large number of machine
                 learning based protein sub-cellular location predictors
                 have been developed. However, most of such predictors
                 can only predict proteins in only one subcellular
                 location. With the development of biology techniques,
                 more and more proteins which have two or even more
                 sub-cellular locations have been found. It is much more
                 significant to study such proteins because they have
                 extremely useful implication for both basic biology and
                 bioinformatics research. In order to improve the
                 accuracy of prediction, much more feature information
                 which can represent the protein sequence should be
                 extracted. In this paper, several feature extraction
                 methods were fused together to extract the feature
                 information, then the multi-label k nearest neighbors
                 (ML-KNN) algorithm was used to predict protein
                 sub-cellular locations. The best overall accuracies we
                 got for dataset s1 in constructing Gpos-mploc is
                 66.7304 and 59.9206 percent for dataset s2 in

  abstract =     "Profiling cancer molecules has several advantages;
                 however, using microarray technology in routine
                 clinical diagnostics is challenging for physicians. The
                 classification of microarray data has two main
                 limitations: (1) the data set is unreliable for
                 building classifiers; and (2) the classifiers exhibit
                 poor performance. Current microarray classification
                 algorithms typically yield a high rate of
                 false-positives cases, which is unacceptable in
                 diagnostic applications. Numerous algorithms have been
                 developed to detect false-positive cases; however, they
                 require a considerable computation time. To address
                 this problem, this study enhanced a previously proposed
                 gene expression graph (GEG)-based classifier to shorten
                 the computation time. The modified classifier filters
                 genes by using an edge weight to determine their
                 significance, thereby facilitating accurate comparison
                 and classification. This study experimentally compared
                 the proposed classifier with a GEG-based classifier by
                 using real data and benchmark tests. The results show
                 that the proposed classifier is faster at detecting
                 false-positives.",

  abstract =     "In recent years, thanks to the efforts of individual
                 scientists and research consortiums, a huge amount of
                 chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by
                 high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) experimental data
                 have been accumulated. Instead of investigating them
                 independently, several recent studies have convincingly
                 demonstrated that a wealth of scientific insights can
                 be gained by integrative analysis of these ChIP-seq
                 data. However, when used for the purpose of integrative
                 analysis, a serious drawback of current ChIP-seq
                 technique is that it is still expensive and
                 time-consuming to generate ChIP-seq datasets of high
                 standard. Most researchers are therefore unable to
                 obtain complete ChIP-seq data for several TFs in a wide
                 variety of cell lines, which considerably limits the
                 understanding of transcriptional regulation pattern. In
                 this paper, we propose a novel method called ChIP-PIT
                 to overcome the aforementioned limitation. In ChIP-PIT,
                 ChIP-seq data corresponding to a diverse collection of
                 cell types, TFs and genes are fused together using the
                 three-mode pair-wise interaction tensor (PIT) model,
                 and the prediction of unperformed ChIP-seq experimental
                 results is formulated as a tensor completion problem.
                 Computationally, we propose efficient first-order
                 method based on extensions of coordinate descent method
                 to learn the optimal solution of ChIP-PIT, which makes
                 it particularly suitable for the analysis of massive
                 scale ChIP-seq data. Experimental evaluation the ENCODE
                 data illustrate the usefulness of the proposed model.",

                 for conceptualizing how genes are expressed and how
                 they influence each other. Typically, a reverse
                 engineering approach is employed; this strategy is
                 effective in reproducing possible fitting models of
                 GRNs. To use this strategy, however, two daunting tasks
                 must be undertaken: one task is to optimize the
                 accuracy of inferred network behaviors; and the other
                 task is to designate valid biological topologies for
                 target networks. Although existing studies have
                 addressed these two tasks for years, few of the studies
                 can satisfy both of the requirements simultaneously. To
                 address these difficulties, we propose an integrative

  abstract =     "Recent developments in high-throughput technologies
                 for measuring protein-protein interaction (PPI) have
                 profoundly advanced our ability to systematically infer
                 protein function and regulation. However, inherently
                 high false positive and false negative rates in
                 measurement have posed great challenges in
                 computational approaches for the prediction of PPI. A
                 good PPI predictor should be (1) resistant to high rate
                 of missing and spurious PPIs, and (2) robust against
                 incompleteness of observed PPI networks. To predict PPI
                 in a network, we developed an intrinsic geometry
                 structure (IGS) for network, which exploits the
                 intrinsic and hidden relationship among proteins in
                 network through a heat diffusion process. In this
                 process, all explicit PPIs participate simultaneously
                 to glue local infinitesimal and noisy experimental
                 interaction data to generate a global macroscopic
                 descriptions about relationships among proteins. The
                 revealed implicit relationship can be interpreted as
                 the probability of two proteins interacting with each
                 other. The revealed relationship is intrinsic and
                 robust against individual, local and explicit protein
                 interactions in the original network. We apply our
                 approach to publicly available PPI network data for the
                 evaluation of the performance of PPI prediction.
                 Experimental results indicate that, under different
                 levels of the missing and spurious PPIs, IGS is able to
                 robustly exploit the intrinsic and hidden relationship
                 for PPI prediction with a higher sensitivity and
                 specificity compared to that of recently proposed

                 motifs, across multiple DNA or protein sequences is an
                 important problem in computational biology. In this
                 paper, we consider the $ (l, d) $ motif search problem
                 of identifying one or more motifs of length $l$ present
                 in at least $q$ of the $n$ given sequences, with each
                 occurrence differing from the motif in at most $d$
                 substitutions. The problem is known to be NP-complete,
                 and the largest solved instance reported to date is $
                 (26, 11)$ . We propose a novel algorithm for the $ (l,
                 d)$ motif search problem using streaming execution over
                 a large set of non-deterministic finite automata (NFA).
                 This solution is designed to take advantage of the
                 micron automata processor, a new technology close to
                 deployment that can simultaneously execute multiple NFA
                 in parallel. We demonstrate the capability for solving
                 much larger instances of the $ (l, d)$ motif search
                 problem using the resources available within a single
                 automata processor board, by estimating run-times for
                 problem instances $ (39, 18)$ and $ (40, 17)$ . The
                 paper serves as a useful guide to solving problems
                 using this new accelerator technology.",

                 strong molecular interaction can be described using
                 conceptual mathematical tools. Modeling of the natural
                 generated ionic currents on the human pancreatic $
                 \beta $ -cell activity had been already studied using
                 complicated analytical models. In our present
                 contribution, we prove the same using our simple
                 electrical model. The ionic currents are associated
                 with different proteins membrane channels (K-Ca, K$_v$,
                 K$_{ATP}$, Ca$_v$ -L) and Na/Ca Exchanger (NCX). The
                 proteins are Ohmic conductors and are modeled by
                 conductance randomly distributed. Switches are placed
                 in series with conductances in order to highlight the
                 channel activity. However, the K$_{ATP}$ channel
                 activity is stimulated by glucose, and the NCX's
                 conductance change according to the intracellular
                 calcium concentration. The percolation threshold of the
                 system is calculated by the fractal nature of the
                 infinite cluster using the Tarjan's depth-first-search
                 algorithm. It is shown that the behavior of the
                 internal concentration of Ca$^{2+}$ and the membrane
                 potential are modulated by glucose. The results confirm
                 that the inhibition of K$_{ATP}$ channels depolarizes
                 the membrane and increases the influx of
                 [Ca$^{2+}$]$_i$ through NCX and Ca$_v$ -L channel for
                 high glucose concentrations.",

                 promise to play a critical role in producing
                 pharmaceutical, repairing defective genes, destroying
                 cancer cells, and generating biofuels. Elementary Flux
                 Mode (EFM) analysis is one such powerful technique that
                 has elucidated cell growth and regulation, predicted
                 product yield, and analyzed network robustness. EFM
                 analysis, however, is a computationally daunting task
                 because it requires the enumeration of all independent
                 and stoichiometrically balanced pathways within a
                 cellular network. We present in this paper an EFM
                 enumeration algorithm, termed graphical EFM or gEFM.
                 The algorithm is based on graph traversal, an approach
                 previously assumed unsuitable for enumerating EFMs. The
                 approach is derived from a pathway synthesis method
                 proposed by Mavrovouniotis et al. The algorithm is
                 described and proved correct. We apply gEFM to several
                 networks and report runtimes in comparison with other
                 EFM computation tools. We show how gEFM benefits from
                 network compression. Like other EFM computational
                 techniques, gEFM is sensitive to constraint ordering;
                 however, we are able to demonstrate that knowledge of
                 the underlying network structure leads to better
                 constraint ordering. gEFM is shown to be competitive
                 with state-of-the-art EFM computational techniques for
                 several networks, but less so for networks with a
                 larger number of EFMs.",

  abstract =     "This paper deals with the problem of globally
                 asymptotic stability for nonnegative equilibrium points
                 of genetic regulatory networks (GRNs) with mixed delays
                 (i.e., time-varying discrete delays and constant
                 distributed delays). Up to now, all existing stability
                 criteria for equilibrium points of the kind of
                 considered GRNs are in the form of the linear matrix
                 inequalities (LMIs). In this paper, the Brouwer's fixed
                 point theorem is employed to obtain sufficient
                 conditions such that the kind of GRNs under
                 consideration here has at least one nonnegative
                 equilibrium point. Then, by using the nonsingular
                 M-matrix theory and the functional differential
                 equation theory, M-matrix-based sufficient conditions
                 are proposed to guarantee that the kind of GRNs under
                 consideration here has a unique nonnegative equilibrium
                 point which is globally asymptotically stable. The
                 M-matrix-based sufficient conditions derived here are
                 to check whether a constant matrix is a nonsingular
                 M-matrix, which can be easily verified, as there are
                 many equivalent statements on the nonsingular
                 M-matrices. So, in terms of computational complexity,
                 the M-matrix-based stability criteria established in
                 this paper are superior to the LMI-based ones in
                 literature. To illustrate the effectiveness of the
                 approach proposed in this paper, several numerical
                 examples and their simulations are given.",

                 alternate biomarker to the existing Hemoglobin-A1c
                 (HbA1c) marker for glycemic monitoring. Development and
                 usage of HSA as an alternate biomarker requires the

                 glucose-binding pockets. In this work, we combine
                 molecular dynamics simulations of HSA and the
                 state-of-art machine learning method Support Vector
                 Machine (SVM) to predict glucose-binding pockets in
                 HSA. SVM uses the three dimensional arrangement of
                 atoms and their chemical properties to predict
                 glucose-binding ability of a pocket. Feature selection
                 reveals that the arrangement of atoms and their

  abstract =     "Research on similarity searching of cheminformatic
                 data sets has been focused on similarity measures using
                 fingerprints. However, nominal scales are the least
                 informative of all metric scales, increasing the tied
                 similarity scores, and decreasing the effectivity of
                 the retrieval engines. Tanimoto's coefficient has been
                 claimed to be the most prominent measure for this task.
                 Nevertheless, this field is far from being exhausted
                 since the computer science no free lunch theorem
                 predicts that ``no similarity measure has overall
                 superiority over the population of data sets''. We
                 introduce 12 relational agreement (RA) coefficients for
                 seven metric scales, which are integrated within a
                 group fusion-based similarity searching algorithm.
                 These similarity measures are compared to a reference
                 panel of 21 proximity quantifiers over 17 benchmark
                 data sets (MUV), by using informative descriptors, a
                 feature selection stage, a suitable performance metric,
                 and powerful comparison tests. In this stage, RA
                 coefficients perform favourably with respect to the
                 state-of-the-art proximity measures. Afterward, the
                 RA-based method outperform another four nearest
                 neighbor searching algorithms over the same data
                 domains. In a third validation stage, RA measures are
                 successfully applied to the virtual screening of the
                 NCI data set. Finally, we discuss a possible molecular
                 interpretation for these similarity variants.",

                 answering complex biomedical questions on multiple
                 biomolecular information simultaneously, which are
                 expressed through multiple genomic and proteomic
                 semantic annotations scattered in many distributed and

                 global queries and performing global evaluations. To
                 overcome this problem, we developed a software
                 architecture to create and maintain a Genomic and
                 Proteomic Knowledge Base (GPKB), which integrates

  abstract =     "Determining the biological functions of proteins is
                 one of the key challenges in the post-genomic era. The
                 rapidly accumulated large volumes of proteomic and
                 genomic data drives to develop computational models for
                 automatically predicting protein function in large
                 scale. Recent approaches focus on integrating multiple
                 heterogeneous data sources and they often get better
                 results than methods that use single data source alone.
                 In this paper, we investigate how to integrate multiple
                 biological data sources with the biological knowledge,
                 i.e., Gene Ontology (GO), for protein function
                 prediction. We propose a method, called SimNet, to
                 Semantically integrate multiple functional association
                 Networks derived from heterogeneous data sources.
                 SimNet firstly utilizes GO annotations of proteins to
                 capture the semantic similarity between proteins and
                 introduces a semantic kernel based on the similarity.
                 Next, SimNet constructs a composite network, obtained
                 as a weighted summation of individual networks, and
                 aligns the network with the kernel to get the weights
                 assigned to individual networks. Then, it applies a
                 network-based classifier on the composite network to
                 predict protein function. Experiment results on
                 heterogeneous proteomic data sources of Yeast, Human,
                 Mouse, and Fly show that, SimNet not only achieves
                 better (or comparable) results than other related
                 competitive approaches, but also takes much less time.
                 The Matlab codes of SimNet are available at

                 and still expanding public repository of more than
                 4,000 experiments and 25,000 data files, assembled by a
                 large international consortium since 2007; unknown
                 biological knowledge can be extracted from these huge
                 and largely unexplored data, leading to data-driven
                 genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic discoveries.
                 Yet, search of relevant datasets for knowledge
                 discovery is limitedly supported: metadata describing
                 ENCODE datasets are quite simple and incomplete, and
                 not described by a coherent underlying ontology. Here,
                 we show how to overcome this limitation, by adopting an
                 ENCODE metadata searching approach which uses
                 high-quality ontological knowledge and state-of-the-art
                 indexing technologies. Specifically, we developed
                 S.O.S. GeM
                 (http://www.bioinformatics.deib.polimi.it/SOSGeM/), a
                 system supporting effective semantic search and
                 retrieval of ENCODE datasets. First, we constructed a
                 Semantic Knowledge Base by starting with concepts
                 extracted from ENCODE metadata, matched to and expanded
                 on biomedical ontologies integrated in the
                 well-established Unified Medical Language System. We
                 prove that this inference method is sound and complete.
                 Then, we leveraged the Semantic Knowledge Base to
                 semantically search ENCODE data from arbitrary
                 biologists' queries. This allows correctly finding more
                 datasets than those extracted by a purely syntactic
                 search, as supported by the other available systems. We
                 empirically show the relevance of found datasets to the
                 biologists' queries.",

  abstract =     "Genes and their protein products are essential
                 molecular units of a living organism. The knowledge of
                 their functions is key for the understanding of
                 physiological and pathological biological processes, as
                 well as in the development of new drugs and therapies.
                 The association of a gene or protein with its
                 functions, described by controlled terms of
                 biomolecular terminologies or ontologies, is named gene
                 functional annotation. Very many and valuable gene
                 annotations expressed through terminologies and
                 ontologies are available. Nevertheless, they might
                 include some erroneous information, since only a subset
                 of annotations are reviewed by curators. Furthermore,
                 they are incomplete by definition, given the rapidly
                 evolving pace of biomolecular knowledge. In this
                 scenario, computational methods that are able to
                 quicken the annotation curation process and reliably
                 suggest new annotations are very important. Here, we
                 first propose a computational pipeline that uses
                 different semantic and machine learning methods to
                 predict novel ontology-based gene functional
                 annotations; then, we introduce a new semantic
                 prioritization rule to categorize the predicted
                 annotations by their likelihood of being correct. Our
                 tests and validations proved the effectiveness of our
                 pipeline and prioritization of predicted annotations,
                 by selecting as most likely manifold predicted
                 annotations that were later confirmed.",

                 all possible DNA k-mers ( $ k = 8 \sim $ 10). Since
                 proteins can often bind to DNA with different binding
                 intensities, one of the major challenges is to build
                 TFBS (also known as DNA motif) models which can fully
                 capture the quantitative binding affinity data. To
                 learn DNA motif models from the non-convex objective
                 function landscape, several optimization methods are
                 compared and applied to the PBM motif model building
                 problem. In particular, representative methods from
                 different optimization paradigms have been chosen for
                 modeling performance comparison on hundreds of PBM
                 datasets. The results suggest that the multimodal
                 optimization methods are very effective for capturing
                 the binding preference information from PBM data. In
                 particular, we observe a general performance
                 improvement if choosing di-nucleotide modeling over
                 mono-nucleotide modeling. In addition, the models
                 learned by the best-performing method are applied to
                 two independent applications: PBM probe rotation
                 testing and ChIP-Seq peak sequence prediction,
                 demonstrating its biological applicability.",

                 described by a chemical master equation (CME) depends

                 inefficient method for exploring the properties of such
                 models. Capturing their behaviour by low-dimensional
                 models makes analysis of system behaviour tractable. In
                 this paper, we present low dimensional models for the
                 noise-induced excitable dynamics in Bacillus subtilis,
                 whereby a key protein ComK, which drives a complex
                 chain of reactions leading to bacterial competence,
                 gets expressed rapidly in large quantities (competent
                 state) before subsiding to low levels of expression
                 (vegetative state). These rapid reactions suggest the
                 application of an adiabatic approximation of the
                 dynamics of the regulatory model that, however, lead to
                 competence durations that are incorrect by a factor of
                 2. We apply a modified version of an iterative
                 functional procedure that faithfully approximates the
                 time-course of the trajectories in terms of a
                 two-dimensional model involving proteins ComK and ComS.
                 Furthermore, in order to describe the bimodal bivariate
                 marginal probability distribution obtained from the
                 Gillespie simulations of the CME, we introduce a
                 tunable multiplicative noise term in a two-dimensional
                 Langevin model whose stationary state is described by

  abstract =     "The inference of demographic history of populations is
                 an important undertaking in population genetics. A few
                 recent studies have developed identity-by-descent (IBD)
                 based methods to reveal the signature of the relatively
                 recent historical events. Notably, Pe'er and his
                 colleagues have introduced a novel method (named PIBD
                 here) by employing IBD sharing to infer effective
                 population size and migration rate. However, under
                 island model, PIBD neglects the coalescent information
                 before the time to the most recent common ancestor
                 (tMRCA) which leads to apparent deviations in certain
                 situations. In this paper, we propose a new method,
                 MIBD, by adopting a Markov process to describe the
                 island model and develop a new formula for estimating
                 IBD sharing. The new formula considers the coalescent
                 information before tMRCA and the joint effect of the
                 coalescent and migration events. We apply both MIBD and
                 PIBD to the genome-wide data of two human populations
                 (Palestinian and Bedouin) obtained from the HGDP-CEPH
                 database, and demonstrate that MIBD is competitive to
                 PIBD. Our simulation analyses also show that the
                 results of MIBD are more accurate than those of PIBD
                 especially in the case of small effective population
                 size.",

                 high-throughput gene-expression data is an important
                 and challenging problem in systems biology. Several
                 existing algorithms formulate GRN inference as a
                 regression problem. The available regression based
                 algorithms are based on the assumption that all
                 regulatory interactions are linear. However, nonlinear
                 transcription regulation mechanisms are common in
                 biology. In this work, we propose a new regression
                 based method named bLARS that permits a variety of
                 regulatory interactions from a predefined but otherwise
                 arbitrary family of functions. On three DREAM benchmark
                 datasets, namely gene expression data from E. coli,
                 Yeast, and a synthetic data set, bLARS outperforms
                 state-of-the-art algorithms in the terms of the overall

                 block recognition to the entire human genome has always
                 been a challenge. The best-known algorithm has
                 quadratic runtime complexity and, even when
                 sophisticated search space pruning is applied, still
                 requires several days of computations. Here, we propose
                 a novel sampling-based algorithm, called S-MIG$^{++}$ ,
                 where the main idea is to estimate the area that most
                 likely contains all haplotype blocks by sampling a very
                 small number of SNP pairs. A subsequent refinement step
                 computes the exact blocks by considering only the SNP
                 pairs within the estimated area. This approach
                 significantly reduces the number of computed LD
                 statistics, making the recognition of haplotype blocks
                 very fast. We theoretically and empirically prove that
                 the area containing all haplotype blocks can be
                 estimated with a very high degree of certainty. Through
                 experiments on the 243,080 SNPs on chromosome 20 from
                 the 1,000 Genomes Project, we compared our previous
                 algorithm MIG$^{++}$ with the new S-MIG$^{++}$ and
                 observed a runtime reduction from 2.8 weeks to 34.8
                 hours. In a parallelized version of the S-MIG $^{++}$

                 protein crystallization images and cellular images is
                 one of the important research areas. If objects in a
                 scene appear at different depths with respect to the
                 camera's focal point, objects outside the depth of
                 field usually appear blurred. Therefore, scientists
                 capture a collection of images with different depths of
                 field. Focal stacking is a technique of creating a
                 single focused image from a stack of images collected
                 with different depths of field. In this paper, we
                 introduce a novel focal stacking technique, FocusALL,
                 which is based on our modified Harris Corner Response
                 Measure. We also propose enhanced FocusALL for
                 application on images collected under high resolution
                 and varying illumination. FocusALL resolves problems
                 related to the assumption that focus regions have high
                 contrast and high intensity. Especially, FocusALL
                 generates sharper boundaries around protein crystal
                 regions and good in focus images for high resolution
                 images in reasonable time. FocusALL outperforms other
                 methods on protein crystallization images and performs
                 comparably well on other datasets such as retinal
                 epithelial images and simulated datasets.",

                 method to compare multiple samples with respect to that
                 gene. We approximate the statistical significance of
                 each gene's clustering result by measuring its cluster
                 stability, the consistency of that clustering result
                 when the probabilistic placements made by {\tt pplacer}
                 are systematically reassigned and then clustered again,
                 as measured by the adjusted Rand Index. We find that
                 among the genes investigated, the majority of analyses
                 are stable, based on the average adjusted Rand Index.
                 We investigated properties of each gene that may
                 explain less stable results. These genes tended to have
                 less convex reference trees, less total reads recruited
                 to the gene, and a greater Expected Distance between
                 Placement Locations as given by {\tt pplacer} when
                 examined in aggregate. However, for an individual
                 functional gene, these measures alone do not predict
                 cluster stability.",

  abstract =     "Biological systems encompass complexity that far
                 surpasses many artificial systems. Modeling and
                 simulation of large and complex biochemical pathways is
                 a computationally intensive challenge. Traditional
                 tools, such as ordinary differential equations, partial
                 differential equations, stochastic master equations,
                 and Gillespie type methods, are all limited either by
                 their modeling fidelity or computational efficiency or
                 both. In this work, we present a scalable computational
                 framework based on modeling biochemical reactions in
                 explicit 3D space, that is suitable for studying the
                 behavior of large and complex biological pathways. The
                 framework is designed to exploit parallelism and
                 scalability offered by commodity massively parallel
                 processors such as the graphics processing units (GPUs)
                 and other parallel computing platforms. The reaction
                 modeling in 3D space is aimed at enhancing the realism
                 of the model compared to traditional modeling tools and
                 framework. We introduce the Parallel Select algorithm
                 that is key to breaking the sequential bottleneck
                 limiting the performance of most other tools designed
                 to study biochemical interactions. The algorithm is
                 designed to be computationally tractable, handle
                 hundreds of interacting chemical species and millions
                 of independent agents by considering all-particle
                 interactions within the system. We also present an
                 implementation of the framework on the popular graphics
                 processing units and apply it to the simulation study
                 of JAK-STAT Signal Transduction Pathway. The
                 computational framework will offer a deeper insight
                 into various biological processes within the cell and
                 help us observe key events as they unfold in space and
                 time. This will advance the current state-of-the-art in
                 simulation study of large scale biological systems and
                 also enable the realistic simulation study of
                 macro-biological cultures, where inter-cellular
                 interactions are prevalent.",

  abstract =     "Recently, many biological studies reported that two
                 groups of genes tend to show negatively correlated or
                 opposite expression tendency in many biological
                 processes or pathways. The negative correlation between
                 genes may imply an important biological mechanism. In
                 this study, we proposed a FCA-based negative
                 correlation algorithm (NCFCA) that can effectively
                 identify opposite expression tendency between two gene
                 groups in gene expression data. After applying it to
                 expression data of cell cycle-regulated genes in yeast,
                 we found that six minichromosome maintenance family
                 genes showed the opposite changing tendency with eight
                 core histone family genes. Furthermore, we confirmed
                 that the negative correlation expression pattern
                 between these two families may be conserved in the cell
                 cycle. Finally, we discussed the reasons underlying the
                 negative correlation of six minichromosome maintenance
                 (MCM) family genes with eight core histone family
                 genes. Our results revealed that negative correlation
                 is an important and potential mechanism that maintains
                 the balance of biological systems by repressing some
                 genes while inducing others. It can thus provide new
                 understanding of gene expression and regulation, the

  abstract =     "With the development of deep sequencing technologies,
                 many RNA-Seq data have been generated. Researchers have
                 proposed many methods based on the sparse theory to
                 identify the differentially expressed genes from these
                 data. In order to improve the performance of sparse
                 principal component analysis, in this paper, we propose
                 a novel class-information-based sparse component
                 analysis (CISCA) method which introduces the class
                 information via a total scatter matrix. First, CISCA
                 normalizes the RNA-Seq data by using a Poisson model to
                 obtain their differential sections. Second, the total
                 scatter matrix is gotten by combining the between-class
                 and within-class scatter matrices. Third, we decompose
                 the total scatter matrix by using singular value
                 decomposition and construct a new data matrix by using
                 singular values and left singular vectors. Then, aiming
                 at obtaining sparse components, CISCA decomposes the
                 constructed data matrix by solving an optimization
                 problem with sparse constraints on loading vectors.
                 Finally, the differentially expressed genes are
                 identified by using the sparse loading vectors. The
                 results on simulation and real RNA-Seq data demonstrate
                 that our method is effective and suitable for analyzing
                 these data.",

                 systems security, nowadays, emerging computing systems

                 emerging usage models in which security is vital is
                 deeply-embedded computing systems in human bodies,

                 systems exhibit a larger attack surface, prone to more
                 serious or life-threatening attacks. Biomedical
                 deeply-embedded systems (deployed in human body, with

                 health-monitoring systems that are based on body-worn
                 monitoring devices. These Medical Cyber Physical
                 Systems (MCPS) will be capable of transmitting the
                 acquired data to a private or public cloud for storage
                 and processing. Machine learning algorithms running in
                 the cloud and processing this data can provide decision
                 support to healthcare professionals. There is no doubt
                 that the security and privacy of the medical data is
                 one of the most important concerns in designing an
                 MCPS. In this paper, we depict the general architecture
                 of an MCPS consisting of four layers: data acquisition,
                 data aggregation, cloud processing, and action. Due to
                 the differences in hardware and communication
                 capabilities of each layer, different encryption
                 schemes must be used to guarantee data privacy within
                 that layer. We survey conventional and emerging
                 encryption schemes based on their ability to provide
                 secure storage, data sharing, and secure computation.
                 Our detailed experimental evaluation of each scheme
                 shows that while the emerging encryption schemes enable
                 exciting new features such as secure sharing and secure
                 computation, they introduce several orders-of-magnitude
                 computational and storage overhead. We conclude our
                 paper by outlining future research directions to
                 improve the usability of the emerging encryption
                 schemes in an MCPS.",

  abstract =     "Advances in biomedical sensors and mobile
                 communication technologies have fostered the rapid
                 growth of mobile health (mHealth) applications in the
                 past years. Users generate a high volume of biomedical
                 data during health monitoring, which can be used by the
                 mHealth server for training predictive models for
                 disease diagnosis and treatment. However, the
                 biomedical sensing data raise serious privacy concerns
                 because they reveal sensitive information such as
                 health status and lifestyles of the sensed subjects.
                 This paper proposes and experimentally studies a scheme
                 that keeps the training samples private while enabling
                 accurate construction of predictive models. We
                 specifically consider logistic regression models which
                 are widely used for predicting dichotomous outcomes in
                 healthcare, and decompose the logistic regression
                 problem into small subproblems over two types of
                 distributed sensing data, i.e., horizontally
                 partitioned data and vertically partitioned data. The
                 subproblems are solved using individual private data,
                 and thus mHealth users can keep their private data
                 locally and only upload (encrypted) intermediate
                 results to the mHealth server for model training.
                 Experimental results based on real datasets show that
                 our scheme is highly efficient and scalable to a large
                 number of mHealth users.",

                 technology that enables miniaturized analysis systems
                 for point-of-care clinical diagnostics, DNA sequencing,
                 and environmental monitoring. A DMFB reduces the rate
                 of sample and reagent consumption, and automates the
                 analysis of assays. In this paper, we provide the first
                 assessment of the security vulnerabilities of DMFBs. We
                 identify result-manipulation attacks on a DMFB that
                 maliciously alter the assay outcomes. Two practical
                 result-manipulation attacks are shown on a DMFB
                 platform performing enzymatic glucose assay on serum.
                 In the first attack, the attacker adjusts the
                 concentration of the glucose sample and thereby
                 modifies the final result. In the second attack, the
                 attacker tampers with the calibration curve of the
                 assay operation. We then identify denial-of-service
                 attacks, where the attacker can disrupt the assay
                 operation by tampering either with the droplet-routing
                 algorithm or with the actuation sequence. We
                 demonstrate these attacks using a digital microfluidic
                 synthesis simulator. The results show that the attacks
                 are easy to implement and hard to detect. Therefore,

                 both nodal and topological structures are taken into
                 consideration due to the underlying NP-hard problem.
                 Here, we introduce an adaptive hybrid algorithm that
                 combines the classical Hungarian algorithm and the
                 Greedy algorithm (HGA) for the global alignment of

                 every pair of nodes with one in each network is first
                 aligned based on node information (e.g., their sequence
                 attributes) and then followed by an adaptive and
                 convergent iteration procedure for aligning the
                 topological connections in the networks. For four

                 associated with a given set of genes or a given
                 disease. We propose in this paper a classifier system
                 called Monte Carlo for Genetic Network (MCforGN) that
                 can construct genetic networks, identify functionally
                 related genes, and predict gene-disease associations.
                 MCforGN identifies functionally related genes based on
                 their co-occurrences in the abstracts of biomedical
                 literature. For a given gene g, the system first
                 extracts the set of genes found within the abstracts of
                 biomedical literature associated with g. It then ranks
                 these genes to determine the ones with high
                 co-occurrences with g. It overcomes the limitations of
                 current approaches that employ analytical deterministic
                 algorithms by applying Monte Carlo Simulation to
                 approximate genetic networks. It does so by conducting
                 repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results
                 and to optimize these results. Moreover, it analyzes
                 results to obtain the probabilities of different genes'
                 co-occurrences using series of statistical tests.
                 MCforGN can detect gene-disease associations by
                 employing a combination of centrality measures (to
                 identify the central genes in disease-specific genetic
                 networks) and Monte Carlo Simulation. MCforGN aims at
                 enhancing state-of-the-art biological text mining by
                 applying novel extraction techniques. We evaluated
                 MCforGN by comparing it experimentally with nine
                 approaches. Results showed marked improvement.",

                 requires that a small molecule or ion is transported
                 through its structure. The transport pathway often
                 leads through void spaces in the structure. The
                 properties of transport pathways change significantly
                 in time; therefore, the analysis of a trajectory from
                 molecular dynamics rather than of a single static
                 structure is needed for understanding the function of
                 pathways. The identification and analysis of transport
                 pathways are challenging because of the high complexity
                 and diversity of macromolecular shapes, the thermal
                 motion of their atoms, and the large amount of

                 dynamics trajectory and clustering is then used to find
                 the correspondence between tunnels from different
                 snapshots. Furthermore, the geometrical properties of

                 problem in the mature field of communication theory.
                 Exploiting this connection, we develop novel haplotype
                 assembly schemes that rely on the bit-flipping and
                 belief propagation algorithms often used in
                 communication systems. The latter algorithm is then
                 adapted to the haplotype assembly of polyploids. We
                 demonstrate on both simulated and experimental data
                 that the proposed algorithms compare favorably with
                 state-of-the-art haplotype assembly methods in terms of
                 accuracy, while being scalable and computationally

  abstract =     "Traditional drug discovery practice usually follows
                 the ``one drug --- one target'' approach, seeking to
                 identify drug molecules that act on individual targets,
                 which ignores the systemic nature of human diseases.
                 Pathway-based drug discovery recently emerged as an
                 appealing approach to overcome this limitation. An
                 important first step of such pathway-based drug
                 discovery is to identify associations between drug
                 molecules and biological pathways. This task has been
                 made feasible by the accumulating data from
                 high-throughput transcription and drug sensitivity
                 profiling. In this paper, we developed ``iPaD'', an
                 integrative Penalized Matrix Decomposition method to
                 identify drug-pathway associations through jointly
                 modeling of such high-throughput transcription and drug
                 sensitivity data. A scalable biconvex optimization
                 algorithm was implemented and gave iPaD tremendous
                 advantage in computational efficiency over current
                 state-of-the-art method, which allows it to handle the
                 evergrowing large-scale data sets that current method
                 cannot afford to. On two widely used real data sets,
                 iPaD also significantly outperformed the current method
                 in terms of the number of validated drug-pathway
                 associations that were identified. The Matlab code of

                 many single-celled living organisms. The flagellin
                 protofilaments contain 11-helix dual turn structure in
                 a single flagellum. Each flagellin consists of four
                 sub-domains --- two inner domains (D0, D1) and two
                 outer domains (D2, D3). While inner domains
                 predominantly consist of $ \alpha $-helices, the outer
                 domains are primarily beta sheets with D3. In
                 flagellum, the outermost sub-domain is the only one
                 that is exposed to the native environment. This study
                 focuses on the interactions of the residues of D3 of an
                 R-type flagellin with 5nm long chiral (5, 15) and
                 arm-chair (12, 12) single-walled carbon nanotubes

                 the interactive forces between the SWNT and the
                 residues of D3 from the perspectives of size and
                 chirality of the SWNT. It is found that the metallic
                 (arm-chair) SWNT interacts the most with glycine and
                 threonine residues through van der Waals and
                 hydrophobic interactions, whereas the semiconducting
                 (chiral) SWNT interacts largely with the area of
                 protein devoid of glycine by van der Waals, hydrophobic
                 interactions, and hydrogen bonding. This indicates a
                 crucial role that glycine plays in distinguishing
                 metallic from semiconducting SWNTs.",

                 that repress the expression of their targets. They are
                 known to work cooperatively with genes and play
                 important roles in numerous cellular processes.
                 Identification of miRNA regulatory modules (MRMs) would
                 aid deciphering the combinatorial effects derived from
                 the many-to-many regulatory relationships in complex
                 cellular systems. Here, we develop an effective method
                 called BiCliques Merging (BCM) to predict MRMs based on
                 bicliques merging. By integrating the miRNA/mRNA
                 expression profiles from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)
                 with the computational target predictions, we construct
                 a weighted miRNA regulatory network for module
                 discovery. The maximal bicliques detected in the
                 network are statistically evaluated and filtered
                 accordingly. We then employed a greedy-based strategy
                 to iteratively merge the remaining bicliques according
                 to their overlaps together with edge weights and the
                 gene-gene interactions. Comparing with existing methods
                 on two cancer datasets from TCGA, we showed that the
                 modules identified by our method are more densely
                 connected and functionally enriched. Moreover, our
                 predicted modules are more enriched for miRNA families
                 and the miRNA-mRNA pairs within the modules are more
                 negatively correlated. Finally, several potential
                 prognostic modules are revealed by Kaplan--Meier
                 survival analysis and breast cancer subtype analysis.

                 more than a million single nucleotide polymorphisms
                 (SNPs) in thousands of individuals, have been widely
                 used to identify genetic risk variants for complex
                 diseases. However, most of the variants that have been
                 identified contribute relatively small increments of
                 risk and only explain a small portion of the genetic
                 variation in complex diseases. This is the so-called
                 missing heritability problem. Evidence has indicated
                 that many complex diseases are genetically related,
                 meaning these diseases share common genetic risk
                 variants. Therefore, exploring the genetic correlations
                 across multiple related studies could be a promising
                 strategy for removing spurious associations and
                 identifying underlying genetic risk variants, and
                 thereby uncovering the mystery of missing heritability
                 in complex diseases. We present a general and robust
                 method to identify genetic patterns from multiple
                 large-scale genomic datasets. We treat the summary
                 statistics as a matrix and demonstrate that genetic
                 patterns will form a low-rank matrix plus a sparse
                 component. Hence, we formulate the problem as a matrix
                 recovering problem, where we aim to discover risk
                 variants shared by multiple diseases/traits and those
                 for each individual disease/trait. We propose a convex
                 formulation for matrix recovery and an efficient
                 algorithm to solve the problem. We demonstrate the
                 advantages of our method using both synthesized
                 datasets and real datasets. The experimental results
                 show that our method can successfully reconstruct both
                 the shared and the individual genetic patterns from
                 summary statistics and achieve comparable performances

                 trait prediction problems and show that, in general,
                 MINT is a better feature selection method than the
                 state-of-the-art inductive method MRMR.",

                 the sequencing of more and more genomes, propelling
                 related research into the era of big data. In this
                 paper, we present ParaBWT, a parallelized
                 Burrows--Wheeler transform (BWT) and suffix array
                 construction algorithm for big genome data. In ParaBWT,
                 we have investigated a progressive construction
                 approach to constructing the BWT of single genome
                 sequences in linear space complexity, but with a small
                 constant factor. This approach has been further
                 parallelized using multi-threading based on a
                 master-slave coprocessing model. After gaining the BWT,
                 the suffix array is constructed in a memory-efficient
                 manner. The performance of ParaBWT has been evaluated
                 using two sequences generated from two human genome
                 assemblies: the Ensembl Homo sapiens assembly and the
                 human reference genome. Our performance comparison to
                 FMD-index and Bwt-disk reveals that on 12 CPU cores,
                 ParaBWT runs up to $ 2.2 \times $ faster than FMD-index
                 and up to $ 99.0 \times $ faster than Bwt-disk. BWT
                 construction algorithms for very long genomic sequences
                 are time consuming and (due to their incremental
                 nature) inherently difficult to parallelize. Thus,
                 their parallelization is challenging and even
                 relatively small speedups like the ones of our method
                 over FMD-index are of high importance to research.

  abstract =     "Detecting functional modules from a Protein-Protein
                 Interaction PPI network is a fundamental and hot issue
                 in proteomics research, where many computational
                 approaches have played an important role in recent
                 years. However, how to effectively and efficiently
                 detect functional modules in large-scale PPI networks
                 is still a challenging problem. We present a new
                 framework, based on a multiple-grain model of PPI
                 networks, to detect functional modules in PPI networks.
                 First, we give a multiple-grain representation model of
                 a PPI network, which has a smaller scale with super
                 nodes. Next, we design the protein grain partitioning
                 method, which employs a functional similarity or a
                 structural similarity to merge some proteins layer by
                 layer. Thirdly, a refining mechanism with border node
                 tests is proposed to address the protein overlapping of
                 different modules during the grain eliminating process.
                 Finally, systematic experiments are conducted on five
                 large-scale yeast and human networks. The results show
                 that the framework not only significantly reduces the
                 running time of functional module detection, but also
                 effectively identifies overlapping modules while
                 keeping some competitive performances, thus it is
                 highly competent to detect functional modules in
                 large-scale PPI networks.",

                 footprint, popular mapping tools often focus on
                 identifying one or a few best mapping locations for

                 fundamental new insights for the development of better
                 diagnostic tools to predict which cases of DCIS will

                 cancer samples are strongly associated with
                 tumorigenesis, and RCNA discovery is helpful to cancer
                 research and treatment. Despite the emergence of
                 numerous RCNA discovering methods, most of them are
                 unable to detect RCNAs in complex patterns that are
                 influenced by complicating factors including aberration
                 in partial samples, co-existing of gains and losses and
                 normal-like tumor samples. Here, we propose a novel
                 computational method, called non-negative sparse
                 singular value decomposition NN-SSVD, to address the
                 RCNA discovering problem in complex patterns. In
                 NN-SSVD, the measurement of RCNA is based on the
                 aberration frequency in a part of samples rather than
                 all samples, which can circumvent the complexity of
                 different RCNA patterns. We evaluate NN-SSVD on
                 synthetic dataset by comparison on detection scores and
                 Receiver Operating Characteristics curves, and the
                 results show that NN-SSVD outperforms existing methods
                 in RCNA discovery and demonstrate more robustness to
                 RCNA complicating factors. Applying our approach on a
                 breast cancer dataset, we successfully identify a
                 number of genomic regions that are strongly correlated
                 with previous studies, which harbor a bunch of known

                 which suffer from cascading errors, and the words

                 hESC. Especially, areas of a bleb sequence in a video
                 are often used to distinguish two cell blebbing
                 behaviors in hESC: dynamic and apoptotic blebbings.
                 This paper analyzes various segmentation methods for
                 bleb extraction in hESC videos and introduces a
                 bio-inspired score function to improve the performance
                 in bleb extraction. Full bleb formation consists of
                 bleb expansion and retraction. Blebs change their size
                 and image properties dynamically in both processes and
                 between frames. Therefore, adaptive parameters are
                 needed for each segmentation method. A score function
                 derived from the change of bleb area and orientation
                 between consecutive frames is proposed which provides
                 adaptive parameters for bleb extraction in videos. In

  abstract =     "Membrane proteins play important roles in various
                 biological processes within organisms. Predicting the
                 functional types of membrane proteins is indispensable
                 to the characterization of membrane proteins. Recent
                 studies have extended to predicting single- and
                 multi-type membrane proteins. However, existing
                 predictors perform poorly and more importantly, they
                 are often lack of interpretability. To address these
                 problems, this paper proposes an efficient predictor,
                 namely Mem-mEN, which can produce sparse and
                 interpretable solutions for predicting membrane
                 proteins with single- and multi-label functional types.
                 Given a query membrane protein, its associated gene
                 ontology GO information is retrieved by searching a
                 compact GO-term database with its homologous accession
                 number, which is subsequently classified by a
                 multi-label elastic net EN classifier. Experimental
                 results show that Mem-mEN significantly outperforms
                 existing state-of-the-art membrane-protein predictors.
                 Moreover, by using Mem-mEN, 338 out of more than 7,900
                 GO terms are found to play more essential roles in
                 determining the functional types. Based on these 338
                 essential GO terms, Mem-mEN can not only predict the
                 functional type of a membrane protein, but also explain
                 why it belongs to that type. For the reader's
                 convenience, the Mem-mEN server is available online at

                 the false positive rate FPR, true positive rate TPR,
                 receiver operator characteristic ROC curve, and area
                 under the curve AUC. Typically, these quantities are
                 estimated from training data using simple resampling
                 and counting methods, which have been shown to perform
                 poorly when the sample size is small, as is typical in
                 many applications. This work takes a model-based
                 approach in classifier training and performance
                 analysis, where we assume the true population densities
                 are members of an uncertainty class of distributions.
                 Given a prior over the uncertainty class and data, we
                 form a posterior and derive optimal mean-squared-error
                 MSE FPR and TPR estimators, as well as the
                 sample-conditioned MSE performance of these estimators.
                 The theory also naturally leads to optimal ROC and AUC
                 estimators. Finally, we develop a Neyman--Pearson-based
                 approach to optimal classifier design, which maximizes
                 the estimated TPR for a given estimated FPR. These
                 tools are optimal over the uncertainty class of
                 distributions given the sample, and are available in
                 closed form or can be easily approximated for many
                 models. Applications are demonstrated on both synthetic
                 and real genomic data. MATLAB code and simulations

                 Since chemotaxis is a typical example of the
                 environmental response of organisms, it is a
                 fundamental topic in biology and related fields. We

  abstract =     "Prediction of protein coding regions is an important
                 topic in the field of genomic sequence analysis.
                 Several spectrum-based techniques for the prediction of
                 protein coding regions have been proposed. However, the
                 outstanding issue in most of the proposed techniques is
                 that these techniques depend on an
                 experimentally-selected, predefined value of the window
                 length. In this paper, we propose a new Wide-Range
                 Wavelet Window WRWW method for the prediction of
                 protein coding regions. The analysis of the proposed
                 wavelet window shows that its frequency response can
                 adapt its width to accommodate the change in the window
                 length so that it can allow or prevent frequencies
                 other than the basic frequency in the analysis of DNA
                 sequences. This feature makes the proposed window
                 capable of analyzing DNA sequences with a wide range of
                 the window lengths without degradation in the
                 performance. The experimental analysis of applying the
                 WRWW method and other spectrum-based methods to five
                 benchmark datasets has shown that the proposed method
                 outperforms other methods along a wide range of the
                 window lengths. In addition, the experimental analysis
                 has shown that the proposed method is dominant in the
                 prediction of both short and long exons.",

  abstract =     "mRNA translation is a complex process involving the
                 progression of ribosomes on the mRNA, resulting in the
                 synthesis of proteins, and is subject to multiple
                 layers of regulation. This process has been modelled
                 using different formalisms, both stochastic and
                 deterministic. Recently, we introduced a Probabilistic
                 Boolean modelling framework for mRNA translation, which
                 possesses the advantage of tools for numerically exact
                 computation of steady state probability distribution,
                 without requiring simulation. Here, we extend this
                 model to incorporate both random sequential and
                 parallel update rules, and demonstrate its
                 effectiveness in various settings, including its
                 flexibility in accommodating additional static and
                 dynamic biological complexities and its role in
                 parameter sensitivity analysis. In these applications,
                 the results from the model analysis match those of
                 TASEP model simulations. Importantly, the proposed
                 modelling framework maintains the stochastic aspects of
                 mRNA translation and provides a way to exactly
                 calculate probability distributions, providing
                 additional tools of analysis in this context. Finally,
                 the proposed modelling methodology provides an
                 alternative approach to the understanding of the mRNA
                 translation process, by bridging the gap between
                 existing approaches, providing new analysis tools, and
                 contributing to a more robust platform for modelling
                 and understanding translation.",

  abstract =     "With the growth of high-throughput proteomic data, in
                 particular time series gene expression data from
                 various perturbations, a general question that has
                 arisen is how to organize inherently heterogeneous data
                 into meaningful structures. Since biological systems
                 such as breast cancer tumors respond differently to
                 various treatments, little is known about exactly how
                 these gene regulatory networks GRNs operate under
                 different stimuli. Challenges due to the lack of
                 knowledge not only occur in modeling the dynamics of a
                 GRN but also cause bias or uncertainties in identifying
                 parameters or inferring the GRN structure. This paper
                 describes a new algorithm which enables us to estimate
                 bias error due to the effect of perturbations and
                 correctly identify the common graph structure among
                 biased inferred graph structures. To do this, we
                 retrieve common dynamics of the GRN subject to various
                 perturbations. We refer to the task as ``repairing''
                 inspired by ``image repairing'' in computer vision. The
                 method can automatically correctly repair the common
                 graph structure across perturbed GRNs, even without
                 precise information about the effect of the
                 perturbations. We evaluate the method on synthetic data
                 sets and demonstrate an application to the DREAM data
                 sets and discuss its implications to experiment
                 design.",

                 identification of driver nodes in the neuronal network
                 of a cat's brain, in which uncertainties in
                 determination of driver nodes and control gains are
                 considered. A framework for robust multiobjective
                 controllability is proposed by introducing interval
                 uncertainties and optimization algorithms. By
                 appropriate definitions of robust multiobjective
                 controllability, a robust nondominated sorting adaptive
                 differential evolution NSJaDE is presented by means of
                 the nondominated sorting mechanism and the adaptive
                 differential evolution JaDE. The simulation
                 experimental results illustrate the satisfactory
                 performance of NSJaDE for robust multiobjective
                 controllability, in comparison with six statistical

                 from gene expression data is a challenging task in
                 systems biology. Although some progresses have been
                 made, the performance of GRN reconstruction still has
                 much room for improvement. Because many regulatory
                 events are asynchronous, learning gene interactions
                 with multiple time delays is an effective way to
                 improve the accuracy of GRN reconstruction. Here, we
                 propose a new approach, called Max-Min high-order
                 dynamic Bayesian network MMHO-DBN by extending the
                 Max-Min hill-climbing Bayesian network technique
                 originally devised for learning a Bayesian network's
                 structure from static data. Our MMHO-DBN can explicitly
                 model the time lags between regulators and targets in
                 an efficient manner. It first uses constraint-based
                 ideas to limit the space of potential structures, and
                 then applies search-and-score ideas to search for an
                 optimal HO-DBN structure. The performance of MMHO-DBN
                 to GRN reconstruction was evaluated using both
                 synthetic and real gene expression time-series data.
                 Results show that MMHO-DBN is more accurate than
                 current time-delayed GRN learning methods, and has an
                 intermediate computing performance. Furthermore, it is
                 able to learn long time-delayed relationships between
                 genes. We applied sensitivity analysis on our model to
                 study the performance variation along different
                 parameter settings. The result provides hints on the
                 setting of parameters of MMHO-DBN.",

                 calculates the correlation score between observed
                 spectrum and theoretical spectrum deduced from protein
                 sequences stored in a flat text file, even though it is
                 not a relational and object-oriental repository.
                 Nevertheless, the SEQUEST score functions fail to
                 discriminate between true and false PSMs accurately.
                 Some approaches, such as PeptideProphet and Percolator,
                 have been proposed to address the task of
                 distinguishing true and false PSMs. However, most of
                 these methods employ time-consuming learning algorithms
                 to validate peptide assignments [1]. In this paper, we
                 propose a fast algorithm for validating peptide

  abstract =     "Currently, binary biclustering algorithms are too slow
                 and non-specific to handle biological datasets that
                 have a large number of attributes, which is essential
                 for the computational biology problem of microarray
                 analysis. Specialized computers may be needed to
                 execute an algorithm, and may fail to produce a
                 solution, due to its large resource needs. The
                 biclusters also include too many false positives, the
                 type I error, which hinders biological discovery. We
                 propose an algorithm that can analyze datasets with a
                 large attribute set at different densities, and can
                 operate on a laptop, which makes it accessible to
                 practitioners. EMFP produces biclusters that have a
                 very low Root Mean Squared Error and false positive
                 rate, with very few type II errors. Our binary
                 biclustering algorithm is a hybrid, axis-parallel,
                 pattern-based algorithm that finds multiple,
                 non-overlapping, near-constant, deterministic, binary
                 submatrices, with a variable confidence threshold, and
                 the novel use of local density comparisons versus the
                 standard global threshold. EMFP introduces a new, and
                 intuitive way to calculate internal measures for binary
                 biclustering methods. We also introduce a framework to
                 ease comparison with other algorithms, and compare to
                 both binary and general biclustering algorithms using
                 two real, and 80 synthetic databases.",

  abstract =     "Glioblastoma multiforme GBM is a highly aggressive
                 type of brain cancer with very low median survival. In
                 order to predict the patient's prognosis, researchers
                 have proposed rules to classify different glioma cancer
                 cell subtypes. However, survival time of different
                 subtypes of GBM is often various due to different
                 individual basis. Recent development in gene testing
                 has evolved classic subtype rules to more specific
                 classification rules based on single biomolecular
                 features. These classification methods are proven to
                 perform better than traditional simple rules in GBM
                 prognosis prediction. However, the real power behind
                 the massive data is still under covered. We believe a
                 combined prediction model based on more than one data
                 type could perform better, which will contribute
                 further to clinical treatment of GBM. The Cancer Genome
                 Atlas TCGA database provides huge dataset with various
                 data types of many cancers that enables us to inspect
                 this aggressive cancer in a new way. In this research,
                 we have improved GBM prognosis prediction accuracy
                 further by taking advantage of the minimum redundancy
                 feature selection method mRMR and Multiple Kernel
                 Machine MKL learning method. Our goal is to establish

                 harnessing empirical evolutionary models and Bayesian
                 statistics. However, the computational cost on the
                 likelihood estimation is very expensive, resulting in
                 undesirably long execution time. Although a number of
                 multi-threaded optimizations have been proposed to
                 speed up MrBayes, there are bottlenecks that severely
                 limit the GPU thread-level parallelism of likelihood
                 estimations. This study proposes a high performance and
                 resource-efficient method for GPU-oriented

                 having to rely on empirical programming, the proposed

                 biological sequences is essential to unveiling common
                 shared functions. Mining sequential generators as well
                 as mining closed sequential patterns can contribute to
                 a more concise result set than mining all sequential
                 patterns, especially in the analysis of big data in
                 bioinformatics. Previous studies have also presented
                 convincing arguments that the generator is preferable
                 to the closed pattern in inductive inference and
                 classification. However, classic sequential generator
                 mining algorithms, due to the lack of consideration on
                 the contiguous constraint along with the lower-closed
                 one, still pose a great challenge at spawning a large
                 number of inefficient and redundant patterns, which is
                 too huge for effective usage. Driven by some extensive
                 applications of patterns with contiguous feature, we
                 propose ConSgen, an efficient algorithm for discovering
                 contiguous sequential generators. It adopts the n-gram
                 model, called shingles, to generate potential frequent
                 subsequences and leverages several pruning techniques
                 to prune the unpromising parts of search space. And
                 then, the contiguous sequential generators are
                 identified by using the equivalence class-based
                 lower-closure checking scheme. Our experiments on both

                 The distance and similarity between two sequence are
                 very important and widely studied. During the last
                 decades, Similaritydistance metric learning is one of

                 It is feasible to introduce machine learning technology

                 Mutations CPM model of molecular evolution and genetic
                 decay of an organism. The CPM model uses a Markov
                 process with a 20-dimensional state space of
                 probability distributions over amino acids. The
                 transition matrix of the Markov process includes the
                 mutation rate and those single point mutations
                 compatible with the genetic code. This is an
                 alternative to the standard Point Accepted Mutation PAM
                 and BLOcks of amino acid SUbstitution Matrix BLOSUM.
                 Genetic decay is quantified as a similarity between the
                 amino acid distribution of proteins from a group of
                 species on one hand, and the equilibrium distribution
                 of the Markov chain on the other. Amino acid data for
                 the eukaryote, bacterium, and archaea families are used
                 to illustrate how both the CPM and PAM models predict
                 their genetic decay towards the equilibrium value of 1.
                 A family of bacteria is studied in more detail. It is
                 found that warm environment organisms on average have a
                 higher degree of genetic decay compared to those
                 species that live in cold environments. The paper
                 addresses a new codon-based approach to quantify
                 genetic decay due to single point mutations compatible
                 with the genetic code. The present work may be seen as
                 a first approach to use codon-based Markov models to
                 study how genetic entropy increases with time in an
                 effectively neutral biological regime. Various
                 extensions of the model are also discussed.",

                 prediction, a novel method using abstract convex
                 underestimation ACUE based on the framework of
                 evolutionary algorithm was proposed. Computing such
                 conformations, essential to associate structural and
                 functional information with gene sequences, is
                 challenging due to the high-dimensionality and rugged
                 energy surface of the protein conformational space. As
                 a consequence, the dimension of protein conformational
                 space should be reduced to a proper level. In this
                 paper, the high-dimensionality original conformational
                 space was converted into feature space whose dimension
                 is considerably reduced by feature extraction
                 technique. And, the underestimate space could be
                 constructed according to abstract convex theory. Thus,
                 the entropy effect caused by searching in the
                 high-dimensionality conformational space could be
                 avoided through such conversion. The tight lower bound
                 estimate information was obtained to guide the
                 searching direction, and the invalid searching area in
                 which the global optimal solution is not located could
                 be eliminated in advance. Moreover, instead of
                 expensively calculating the energy of conformations in
                 the original conformational space, the estimate value
                 is employed to judge if the conformation is worth
                 exploring to reduce the evaluation time, thereby making
                 computational cost lower and the searching process more
                 efficient. Additionally, fragment assembly and the
                 Monte Carlo method are combined to generate a series of
                 metastable conformations by sampling in the
                 conformational space. The proposed method provides a
                 novel technique to solve the searching problem of
                 protein conformational space. Twenty small-to-medium
                 structurally diverse proteins were tested, and the
                 proposed ACUE method was compared with It Fix, HEA,
                 Rosetta and the developed method LEDE without
                 underestimate information. Test results show that the
                 ACUE method can more rapidly and more efficiently
                 obtain the near-native protein structure.",

  abstract =     "Background: Proteins have the fundamental ability to
                 selectively bind to other molecules and perform
                 specific functions through such interactions, such as
                 protein-ligand binding. Accurate prediction of protein
                 residues that physically bind to ligands is important
                 for drug design and protein docking studies. Most of
                 the successful protein-ligand binding predictions were
                 based on known structures. However, structural
                 information is not largely available in practice due to
                 the huge gap between the number of known protein
                 sequences and that of experimentally solved structures.
                 Results: This paper proposes a dynamic ensemble
                 approach to identify protein-ligand binding residues by
                 using sequence information only. To avoid problems
                 resulting from highly imbalanced samples between the
                 ligand-binding sites and non ligand-binding sites, we
                 constructed several balanced data sets and we trained a
                 random forest classifier for each of them. We
                 dynamically selected a subset of classifiers according
                 to the similarity between the target protein and the
                 proteins in the training data set. The combination of
                 the predictions of the classifier subset to each query
                 protein target yielded the final predictions. The
                 ensemble of these classifiers formed a sequence-based
                 predictor to identify protein-ligand binding sites.
                 Conclusions: Experimental results on two Critical
                 Assessment of protein Structure Prediction datasets and
                 the ccPDB dataset demonstrated that of our proposed
                 method compared favorably with the state-of-the-art.

                 where the asymptotic constant $ \beta_t > 0$ depends on
                 the shape of the seed tree $t$. The result extends a
                 claim demonstrated only for seed trees with at most

                 coalescent histories can be determined. We introduce a

  abstract =     "The computational demand of exact-search procedures
                 has pressed the exploitation of parallel processing
                 accelerators to reduce the execution time of many
                 applications. However, this often imposes strict
                 restrictions in terms of the problem size and
                 implementation efforts, mainly due to their possibly
                 distinct architectures. To circumvent this limitation,
                 a new exact-search alignment tool BowMapCL based on the
                 Burrows--Wheeler Transform and FM-Index is presented.
                 Contrasting to other alternatives, BowMapCL is based on
                 a unified implementation using OpenCL, allowing the
                 exploitation of multiple and possibly different devices
                 e.g., NVIDIA, AMD/ATI, and Intel GPUs/APUs.
                 Furthermore, to efficiently exploit such heterogeneous
                 architectures, BowMapCL incorporates several techniques
                 to promote its performance and scalability, including
                 multiple buffering, work-queue task-distribution, and
                 dynamic load-balancing, together with index
                 partitioning, bit-encoding, and sampling. When compared
                 with state-of-the-art tools, the attained results
                 showed that BowMapCL using a single GPU is $ 2 \times $
                 to $ 7.5 \times $ faster than mainstream multi-threaded
                 CPU BWT-based aligners, like Bowtie, BWA, and SOAP2;
                 and up to $ 4 \times $ faster than the best performing
                 state-of-the-art GPU implementations namely, SOAP3 and
                 HPG-BWT. When multiple and completely distinct devices
                 are considered, BowMapCL efficiently scales the offered
                 throughput, ensuring a convenient load-balance of the
                 involved processing in the several distinct devices.",

                 search of 3D molecular structures is presented. The
                 proposed framework exploits simultaneously the
                 discriminative capabilities of a global, a local, and a
                 hybrid local-global shape feature to produce a
                 geometric descriptor that achieves higher retrieval
                 accuracy than each feature does separately. Global and
                 hybrid features are extracted using pairwise
                 computations of diffusion distances between the points
                 of the molecular surface, while the local feature is
                 based on accumulating pairwise relations among oriented
                 surface points into local histograms. The local
                 features are integrated into a global descriptor vector
                 using the bag-of-features approach. Due to the
                 intrinsic property of its constituting shape features
                 to be invariant to articulations of the 3D objects, the
                 framework is appropriate for similarity search of
                 flexible 3D molecules, while at the same time it is
                 also accurate in retrieving rigid 3D molecules. The
                 proposed framework is evaluated in flexible and rigid

  abstract =     "Recently, feature selection and dimensionality
                 reduction have become fundamental tools for many data
                 mining tasks, especially for processing
                 high-dimensional data such as gene expression
                 microarray data. Gene expression microarray data
                 comprises up to hundreds of thousands of features with
                 relatively small sample size. Because learning
                 algorithms usually do not work well with this kind of
                 data, a challenge to reduce the data dimensionality
                 arises. A huge number of gene selection are applied to
                 select a subset of relevant features for model
                 construction and to seek for better cancer
                 classification performance. This paper presents the
                 basic taxonomy of feature selection, and also reviews
                 the state-of-the-art gene selection methods by grouping
                 the literatures into three categories: supervised,
                 unsupervised, and semi-supervised. The comparison of
                 experimental results on top 5 representative gene
                 expression datasets indicates that the classification
                 accuracy of unsupervised and semi-supervised feature
                 selection is competitive with supervised feature
                 selection.",

                 processes; hence, it is essential when determining the
                 functions of RNA to research its secondary structures.
                 So far, the accuracy of RNA secondary structure
                 prediction remains an area in need of improvement. This
                 paper presents a novel method for predicting RNA
                 secondary structure based on an RNA folding simulation
                 model. This model assumes that the process of RNA
                 folding from the random coil state to full structure is
                 staged and in every stage of folding, the final state
                 of an RNA is determined by the optimal combination of
                 helical regions, which are urgently essential to
                 dynamics of RNA formation. This paper proposes the
                 First Large Free Energy Difference FLED in order to
                 find the helical regions most urgently needed for
                 optimal final state formation among all the possible
                 helical regions. Tests on the datasets with known
                 structures from public databases demonstrate that our
                 method can outperform other current RNA secondary

  abstract =     "It has been known that the robust behavior of a
                 cellular signaling network is strongly related to the
                 structural characteristics of the network, such as
                 connectivity, the number of feedback loops, and the
                 number of feed-forward loops. Previous studies proved
                 such relationships through dynamical simulations of
                 various random network models. Most of them, however,
                 focused on robustness against a single node mutation.
                 Considering that complex diseases such as cancer are
                 mostly caused by simultaneous dysfunction of multiple
                 genes, it is needed to investigate the robustness of a
                 network against multiple node mutations. In this paper,
                 we investigated the robustness of a network against
                 multiple node mutations through extensive simulations
                 on the basis of Boolean network models. We found that
                 the robustness against multiple mutations is, in most
                 cases, weaker than the robustness against a single node
                 mutation on average. Moreover, we found that the
                 robustness against multiple mutations is strongly
                 positively correlated with the robustness against
                 single mutation. The difference between the multiple-
                 and single-mutation robustness became larger as the
                 number of mutated nodes increased or the number of
                 nodes that are robust to single-mutation decreased. We
                 further found that a node of relatively large
                 connectivity or being involved with many feedback loops
                 tends to be non-robust against multiple mutations. This
                 finding is supported by the observation that poly-genic
                 disease genes have high connectivity and are involved
                 with a large number of feedback loops than mono-genic
                 disease genes in a human signaling network. Together,
                 our study shows that previous studies for a single node
                 mutation can be extended to understand the network
                 dynamics for multiple node mutations.",

  abstract =     "Mutual information MI is a powerful concept for
                 correlation-centric applications. It has been used for
                 feature selection from microarray gene expression data
                 in many works. One of the merits of MI is that, unlike
                 many other heuristic methods, it is based on a mature
                 theoretic foundation. When applied to microarray data,
                 however, it faces some challenges. First, due to the
                 large number of features i.e., genes present in
                 microarray data, the true distributions for the
                 expression values of some genes may be distorted by
                 noise. Second, evaluating inter-group mutual
                 information requires estimating multi-variate
                 distributions, which is quite difficult if not
                 impossible. To address these problems, in this paper,
                 we propose a new MI-based feature selection approach
                 for microarray data. Our approach relies on two
                 strategies: one is relevance boosting, which requires a
                 desirable feature to show substantially additional
                 relevance with class labeling beyond the already
                 selected features, the other is feature interaction
                 enhancing, which probabilistically compensates for
                 feature interaction missing from simple
                 aggregation-based evaluation. We justify our approach
                 from both theoretical perspective and experimental
                 results. We use a synthetic dataset to show the
                 statistical significance of the proposed strategies,
                 and real-life datasets to show the improved performance
                 of our approach over the existing methods.",

                 wealth of somatic mutation data from a large number of
                 cancer patients. However, it is difficult to obtain
                 several samples with a temporal order from one patient
                 in evaluating the cancer progression. Therefore, one of
                 the most challenging problems arising from the data is
                 to infer the temporal order of mutations across many

                 classification methods used for predicting Gene
                 Ontology GO terms related to ageing. Of those tested, a

                 the Predictive Clustering Tree algorithm LHC-PCT had
                 the best predictive accuracy results. We also tested
                 the impact of two types of variations in most
                 hierarchical classification algorithms, namely: a
                 changing the base algorithm we tested Naive Bayes and
                 Support Vector Machines, and the impact of b using or
                 not the Correlation based Feature Selection CFS
                 algorithm in a pre-processing step. In total, we
                 evaluated the predictive performance of 17 variations
                 of hierarchical classifiers across 15 datasets of
                 ageing and longevity-related genes. We conclude that
                 the LHC-PCT algorithm ranks better across several tests
                 seven out of 12. In addition, we interpreted the models
                 generated by the PCT algorithm to show how hierarchical

                 and analysis of gene expression data. Nonetheless,
                 there still exists the considerable space for improving
                 the explicitness and reliability of gene selection. To
                 this end, this paper proposes a novel method named
                 robust graph regularized non-negative matrix
                 factorization for characteristic gene selection using
                 gene expression data, which mainly contains two
                 aspects: Firstly, enforcing $ {L_{21}} $ -norm
                 minimization on error function which is robust to
                 outliers and noises in data points. Secondly, it
                 considers that the samples lie in low-dimensional
                 manifold which embeds in a high-dimensional ambient
                 space, and reveals the data geometric structure
                 embedded in the original data. To demonstrate the
                 validity of the proposed method, we apply it to gene
                 expression data sets involving various human normal and
                 tumor tissue samples and the results demonstrate that

                 beings, except viruses that use RNA. Unlike other types
                 of molecules, DNA is not usually described by its
                 atomic structure being instead usually described by its
                 base-pair sequence, i.e., the textual sequence of its
                 subsidiary molecules known as nucleotides adenine A,
                 cytosine C, guanine G, and thymine T. The
                 three-dimensional assembling of DNA molecules based on
                 its base-pair sequence has been, for decades, a topic
                 of interest for many research groups all over the
                 world. In this paper, we survey the major methods found
                 in the literature to assemble and visualize DNA
                 molecules from their base-pair sequences. We divided
                 these methods into three categories: predictive
                 methods, adaptive methods, and thermodynamic methods.
                 Predictive methods aim to predict a conformation of the
                 DNA from its base pair sequence, while the goal of
                 adaptive methods is to assemble DNA base-pairs
                 sequences along previously known conformations, as
                 needed in scenarios such as DNA Monte Carlo
                 simulations. Unlike these two geometric methods,
                 thermodynamic methods are energy-based and aim to
                 predict secondary structural motifs of DNA in cases
                 where hydrogen bonds between base pairs might be broken
                 because of temperature changes. We also present the
                 major software tools that implements predictive,
                 adaptive, and thermodynamic methods.",

  abstract =     "The natural progression of HIV-1 begins with a short
                 acute retroviral syndrome which typically transit to
                 chronic and clinical latency stages and subsequently
                 progresses to a symptomatic, life-threatening
                 immunodeficiency disease known as AIDS. Microarray
                 analysis based on gene coexpression is widely used to
                 investigate the coregulation pattern of a group or
                 cluster of genes in a specific phenotype. Moreover, an
                 investigation on the topological patterns across
                 multiple phenotypes can facilitate the understanding of
                 stage specific infection pattern of HIV-1 virus. Here,
                 we develop a novel framework to identify topological
                 patterns of gene co-expression network and detect
                 changes of modular structure across different stages of
                 HIV progression. This is achieved by comparing the
                 topological and intramodular properties of HIV
                 infection modules. To capture the diversity in modular
                 structure, some topological, correlation based, and
                 eigengene based measures are utilized here. We have
                 applied a rank aggregation scheme to rank all the
                 modules to provide a good agreement between these
                 measures. Some novel transcription factors like
                 `FOXO1', `GATA3', `GFI1', `IRF1', `IRF7', `MAX',
                 `STAT1', `STAT3', `XBP1', and `YY1' that merge from the
                 modules show significant change in expression pattern
                 over HIV progression stages. Moreover, we have
                 performed an eigengene based analysis to reveal the
                 perturbation in modular structure across three stages
                 of HIV-1 progression.",

  abstract =     "The goal of Genome-wide Association Studies GWAS is
                 the identification of genetic variants, usually single
                 nucleotide polymorphisms SNPs, that are associated with
                 disease risk. However, SNPs detected so far with GWAS
                 for most common diseases only explain a small
                 proportion of their total heritability. Gene set
                 analysis GSA has been proposed as an alternative to
                 single-SNP analysis with the aim of improving the power
                 of genetic association studies. Nevertheless, most GSA
                 methods rely on expensive computational procedures that
                 make infeasible their implementation in GWAS. We
                 propose a new GSA method, referred as globalEVT, which
                 uses the extreme value theory to derive gene-level
                 p-values. GlobalEVT reduces dramatically the
                 computational requirements compared to other GSA
                 approaches. In addition, this new approach improves the
                 power by allowing different inheritance models for each
                 genetic variant as illustrated in the simulation study
                 performed and allows the existence of correlation
                 between the SNPs. Real data analysis of an
                 Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder ADHD study
                 illustrates the importance of using GSA approaches for
                 exploring new susceptibility genes. Specifically, the
                 globalEVT method is able to detect genes related to
                 Cyclophilin A like domain proteins which is known to
                 play an important role in the mechanisms of ADHD

  abstract =     "High-throughput experimental screening techniques have
                 resulted in a large number of biological network data
                 such as protein-protein interactions PPI data. The
                 analysis of these data can enhance our understanding of
                 cellular processes. PPI network alignment is one of the
                 comparative analysis methods for analyzing biological
                 networks. Research on PPI networks can identify
                 conserved subgraphs and help us to understand
                 evolutionary trajectories across species. Some
                 evolutionary algorithms have been proposed for coping
                 with PPI network alignment, but most of them are
                 limited by the lower search efficiency due to the lack
                 of the priori knowledge. In this paper, we propose a
                 memetic algorithm, denoted as MeAlgn, to solve the
                 biological network alignment by optimizing an objective
                 function which introduces topological structure and
                 sequence similarities. MeAlign combines genetic
                 algorithm with a local search refinement. The genetic
                 algorithm is to find interesting alignment solution
                 regions, and the local search is to find optimal
                 solutions around the regions. The proposed algorithm
                 first develops a coarse similarity score matrix for
                 initialization and then it uses a specific neighborhood
                 heuristic local search strategy to find an optimal
                 alignment. In MeAlign, the information of topological
                 structure and sequence similarities is used to guide
                 our mapping. Experimental results demonstrate that our
                 algorithm can achieve a better mapping than some

  abstract =     "The metabolic network model allows for an in-depth
                 insight into the molecular mechanism of a particular
                 organism. Because most parameters of the metabolic
                 network cannot be directly measured, they must be
                 estimated by using optimization algorithms. However,
                 three characteristics of the metabolic network model,
                 i.e., high nonlinearity, large amount parameters, and
                 huge variation scopes of parameters, restrict the
                 application of many traditional optimization
                 algorithms. As a result, there is a growing demand to
                 develop efficient optimization approaches to address
                 this complex problem. In this paper, a Kriging-based
                 algorithm aiming at parameter estimation is presented
                 for constructing the metabolic networks. In the
                 algorithm, a new infill sampling criterion, named
                 expected improvement and mutual information EI\&MI, is
                 adopted to improve the modeling accuracy by selecting
                 multiple new sample points at each cycle, and the
                 domain decomposition strategy based on the principal
                 component analysis is introduced to save computing
                 time. Meanwhile, the convergence speed is accelerated
                 by combining a single-dimensional optimization method
                 with the dynamic coordinate perturbation strategy when
                 determining the new sample points. Finally, the
                 algorithm is applied to the arachidonic acid metabolic
                 network to estimate its parameters. The obtained
                 results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed
                 algorithm in getting precise parameter values under a
                 limited number of iterations.",

                 with various diseases. To better understand miRNAs, the
                 miRNA regulatory mechanism needs to be investigated and
                 the real targets identified. Here, we present miRTDL, a
                 new miRNA target prediction algorithm based on
                 convolutional neural network CNN. The CNN automatically
                 extracts essential information from the input data
                 rather than completely relying on the input dataset
                 generated artificially when the precise miRNA target
                 mechanisms are poorly known. In this work, the
                 constraint relaxing method is first used to construct a
                 balanced training dataset to avoid inaccurate
                 predictions caused by the existing unbalanced dataset.
                 The miRTDL is then applied to 1,606 experimentally
                 validated miRNA target pairs. Finally, the results show
                 that our miRTDL outperforms the existing target

                 the miRNA target mechanism, and the results show that

                 computer science and supported from high throughput
                 data is a more efficient method compared with time
                 consuming and expensive experimental approaches. There
                 are many computational approaches reported, however
                 they are usually sensitive to various network
                 structures so that their robustness are generally poor.
                 In this paper, a novel topological centrality measure
                 for predicting essential proteins based on local
                 interaction density, named as LID, is proposed. It is
                 different from previous measures that LID takes the
                 essentiality of a node from interaction densities among
                 its neighbors through topological analyses of real
                 proteins in a protein complex set first time at the
                 viewpoint of biological modules. LID is applied to four
                 different yeast protein interaction networks, which are
                 obtained, respectively, from the DIP database and the
                 BioGRID database. The experimental results show that
                 the number of essential proteins detected by LID
                 universally exceeds or approximates the best
                 performance of other 10 topological centrality measures
                 in all 24 comparisons of four networks: DC, BC,
                 ClusterC, CloseC, MNC, SoECCNC, LAC, SC, EigC, and
                 InfoC. The better robustness of LID for multiple data
                 sets will make it to be a new core topological
                 centrality measure to improve the performance of
                 prediction for more species protein interaction

                 networks, which are prevalent over all time instants.
                 However, gene interactions evolve over time.
                 Information about the gene interactions in different
                 stages of the life cycle of a cell or an organism is of
                 high importance for biology. In the statistical

                 while the study of time varying networks is rather

                 symbiosis in natural ecosystem, this paper proposes a
                 new variant of PSO, named Symbiosis-based Alternative
                 Learning Multi-swarm Particle Swarm Optimization
                 SALMPSO. A learning probability to select one exemplar
                 out of the center positions, the local best position,
                 and the historical best position including the
                 experience of internal and external multiple swarms, is
                 used to keep the diversity of the population. Two
                 different levels of social interaction within and
                 between multiple swarms are proposed. In the search
                 process, particles not only exchange social experience
                 with others that are from their own sub-swarms, but
                 also are influenced by the experience of particles from
                 other fellow sub-swarms. According to the different
                 exemplars and learning strategy, this model is
                 instantiated as four variants of SALMPSO and a set of
                 15 test functions are conducted to compare with some
                 variants of PSO including 10, 30 and 50 dimensions,
                 respectively. Experimental results demonstrate that the
                 alternative learning strategy in each SALMPSO version
                 can exhibit better performance in terms of the
                 convergence speed and optimal values on most multimodal

                 promising performance on a wide range of optimization
                 problems. This paper aims to improve FWA by enhancing

                 information sharing; 3 Adopting a new population

                 to have high probabilities of entering the next
                 generation without incurring high computational cost.

                 technique in classification problems such as
                 bioinformatics and signal processing. Generally, there
                 are some situations where a user is interested in not
                 only maximizing the classification performance but also
                 minimizing the cost that may be associated with
                 features. This kind of problem is called cost-based
                 feature selection. However, most existing feature
                 selection approaches treat this task as a
                 single-objective optimization problem. This paper
                 presents the first study of multi-objective particle
                 swarm optimization PSO for cost-based feature selection
                 problems. The task of this paper is to generate a
                 Pareto front of nondominated solutions, that is,
                 feature subsets, to meet different requirements of
                 decision-makers in real-world applications. In order to
                 enhance the search capability of the proposed

                 an effective hybrid operator, together with the ideas
                 of the crowding distance, the external archive, and the
                 Pareto domination relationship, are applied to PSO. The
                 proposed PSO-based multi-objective feature selection
                 algorithm is compared with several multi-objective
                 feature selection algorithms on five benchmark
                 datasets. Experimental results show that the proposed
                 algorithm can automatically evolve a set of
                 nondominated solutions, and it is a highly competitive
                 feature selection method for solving cost-based feature

                 their utility for achieving accurate predication or
                 exploiting data variance and distribution, and the
                 selected genes were usually poorly explicable. To
                 improve the interpretability of the selected genes as

                 can select functional gene subsets which are

                 the few discriminative genes selected by the proposed
                 method, ELM, K-nearest neighbor and support vector
                 machine classifiers achieve much high prediction
                 accuracy on five public microarray data, which in turn
                 verifies the efficiency and effectiveness of the
                 proposed gene selection method.",

                 aerial vehicle UCAV is a complicated optimal problem,

                 considering the different types of constrains under
                 complex combating environment. A novel predator-prey
                 pigeon-inspired optimization PPPIO is proposed to solve
                 the UCAV three-dimension path planning problem in

                 is a new bio-inspired optimization algorithm. In this
                 algorithm, map and compass operator model and landmark
                 operator model are used to search the best result of a

                 applications. Ant colony optimization ACO algorithms
                 can provide approximate solutions for those NP-hard
                 problems, but the performance of ACO algorithms is
                 significantly reduced due to premature convergence and
                 weak robustness, etc. With these observations in mind,
                 this paper proposes a \bioname{Physarum}-based
                 pheromone matrix optimization strategy in ant colony
                 system ACS for solving NP-hard problems such as
                 traveling salesman problem TSP and 0/1 knapsack problem
                 0/1 KP. In the \bioname{Physarum}-inspired mathematical
                 model, one of the unique characteristics is that
                 critical tubes can be reserved in the process of
                 network evolution. The optimized updating strategy
                 employs the unique feature and accelerates the positive
                 feedback process in ACS, which contributes to the quick
                 convergence of the optimal solution. Some experiments
                 were conducted using both benchmark and real datasets.
                 The experimental results show that the optimized ACS
                 outperforms other meta-heuristic algorithms in accuracy
                 and robustness for solving TSPs. Meanwhile, the

                 better than those of classical ACS.",

  abstract =     "Motif recognition is a challenging problem in
                 bioinformatics due to the diversity of protein motifs.
                 Many existing algorithms identify motifs of a given
                 length, thus being either not applicable or not
                 efficient when searching simultaneously for motifs of
                 various lengths. Searching for gapped motifs, although
                 very important, is a highly time-consuming task due to
                 the combinatorial explosion of possible combinations
                 implied by the consideration of long gaps. We introduce
                 a new graph theoretical approach to identify motifs of
                 various lengths, both with and without gaps. We compare
                 our approach with two widely used methods: MEME and
                 GLAM2 analyzing both the quality of the results and the
                 required computational time. Our method provides
                 results of a slightly higher level of quality than MEME
                 but at a much faster rate, i.e., one eighth of MEME's
                 query time. By using similarity indexing, we drop the
                 query times down to an average of approximately one
                 sixth of the ones required by GLAM2, while achieving a
                 slightly higher level of quality of the results. More
                 precisely, for sequence collections smaller than 50,000
                 bytes GLAM2 is 13 times slower, while being at least as
                 fast as our method on larger ones. The source code of

  abstract =     "Despite the recent growth in the number of
                 phylogenetic databases, access to these wealth of
                 resources remain largely tool or form-based interface
                 driven. It is our thesis that the flexibility afforded
                 by declarative query languages may offer the
                 opportunity to access these repositories in a better
                 way, and to use such a language to pose truly powerful
                 queries in unprecedented ways. In this paper, we
                 propose a substantially enhanced closed visual query
                 language, called PhyQL, that can be used to query
                 phylogenetic databases represented in a canonical form.
                 The canonical representation presented helps capture
                 most phylogenetic tree formats in a convenient way, and
                 is used as the storage model for our PhyloBase database
                 for which PhyQL serves as the query language. We have
                 implemented a visual interface for the end users to
                 pose PhyQL queries using visual icons, and drag and
                 drop operations defined over them. Once a query is
                 posed, the interface translates the visual query into a
                 Datalog query for execution over the canonical
                 database. Responses are returned as hyperlinks to
                 phylogenies that can be viewed in several formats using
                 the tree viewers supported by PhyloBase. Results cached
                 in PhyQL buffer allows secondary querying on the
                 computed results making it a truly powerful querying
                 architecture.",

                 therapeutic regimen choice for cancer patients, the
                 heterogeneous multi-omics data should be integrated
                 harmoniously, which can often be difficult. For this

                 Elastic Net GIREN model that predicts clinical outcome
                 by integrating multiple data types. GIREN conveniently

  abstract =     "Knowing the ways proteins interact with each other are
                 crucial to our understanding of the functional
                 mechanisms of proteins. It is for this reason that
                 different approaches have been developed in attempts to
                 predict protein-protein interactions PPIs
                 computationally. Among them, the sequence-based
                 approaches are preferred to the others as they do not
                 require any information about protein properties to
                 perform their tasks. Instead, most sequence-based
                 approaches make use of feature extraction methods to
                 extract features directly from protein sequences so
                 that for each protein sequence, we can construct a
                 feature vector. The feature vectors of every pair of
                 proteins are then concatenated to form two classes of
                 interacting and non-interacting proteins. The
                 prediction of whether or not two proteins interact with
                 each other is then formulated as a classification
                 problem. How accurate PPI predictions can be made
                 therefore depends on how good the features are that can
                 be extracted from the protein sequences to allow
                 interacting or non-interacting to be best
                 distinguished. To do so, instead of extracting such
                 features from individual protein sequences
                 independently of the other protein in the same pair, we
                 propose to jointly consider features from both
                 sequences in a protein pair during the feature
                 extraction process through using a novel coevolutionary
                 feature extraction approach called CoFex.
                 Coevolutionary features extracted by CoFex refer to the
                 covariations found at coevolving positions. Based on
                 the presence and absence of these coevolutionary
                 features in the sequences of two proteins, feature
                 vectors can be composed for pairs of proteins rather
                 than individual proteins. The experiment results show
                 that CoFex is a promising feature extraction approach
                 and can improve the performance of PPI prediction.",

                 multivariate algorithm. Methods: A novel algorithm for
                 feature selection from gene expression data was
                 developed. The algorithm was based on the
                 Hilbert--Schmidt independence criterion HSIC, and was
                 partly motivated by singular value decomposition SVD.
                 Results: The algorithm is computationally fast and
                 scalable to large datasets. Moreover, it can be applied
                 to problems with any type of response variables
                 including, biclass, multiclass, and continuous response
                 variables. The performance of the proposed algorithm in
                 terms of accuracy, stability of the selected genes,
                 speed, and scalability was evaluated using both
                 synthetic and real-world datasets. The simulation
                 results demonstrated that the proposed algorithm
                 effectively and efficiently extracted stable genes with
                 high predictive capability, in particular for datasets
                 with multiclass response variables.
                 Conclusion/Significance: The proposed method does not
                 require the whole microarray dataset to be stored in
                 memory, and thus can easily be scaled to large
                 datasets. This capability is an important attribute in
                 big data analytics, where data can be large and
                 massively distributed.",

                 introduced in this paper. Nine main physicochemical
                 properties of amino acids were used to obtain a 2D
                 discrete point set for protein sequences by applying
                 principal component analysis. The fractal method was
                 then employed to interpolate discrete points in
                 constructing a graphical representation of protein
                 sequences. Fractal dimension of the protein curve was
                 used to analyze the similarity of protein sequences by
                 comparing the distance of vectors representing segments
                 of protein sequences. The Jeffrey's and Matusita
                 distance was modified in the similarity comparison of
                 protein sequences with different lengths. Nine
                 different species from Nicotinamide adenine
                 dinucleotide NADH dehydrogenase 5 ND5 protein sequences
                 were tested as an example to demonstrate our method.
                 Finally, a linear correlation and significance analysis
                 was used to compare our results with other graphical
                 representations referring to the ClustalW result. To
                 confirm the validity of our method, eight species in
                 NADH dehydrogenase 6 ND6 protein families and
                 twenty-seven species in beta-globin protein families
                 were also analyzed. Experimental results show that the

  abstract =     "Predicting the localization of chloroplast proteins at
                 the sub-subcellular level is an essential yet
                 challenging step to elucidate their functions. Most of
                 the existing subchloroplast localization predictors are
                 limited to predicting single-location proteins and
                 ignore the multi-location chloroplast proteins. While
                 recent studies have led to some multi-location
                 chloroplast predictors, they usually perform poorly.
                 This paper proposes an ensemble transductive learning
                 method to tackle this multi-label classification
                 problem. Specifically, given a protein in a dataset,
                 its composition-based sequence information and
                 profile-based evolutionary information are respectively
                 extracted. These two kinds of features are respectively
                 compared with those of other proteins in the dataset.
                 The comparisons lead to two similarity vectors which
                 are weighted-combined to constitute an ensemble feature
                 vector. A transductive learning model based on the
                 least squares and nearest neighbor algorithms is
                 proposed to process the ensemble features. We refer to
                 the resulting predictor as as EnTrans-Chlo.
                 Experimental results on a stringent benchmark dataset
                 and a novel dataset demonstrate that EnTrans-Chlo
                 significantly outperforms state-of-the-art predictors
                 and particularly gains more than 4 percent absolute
                 improvement on the overall actual accuracy. For

  abstract =     "In Faur{\'e} et al. 2006, the dynamics of the core
                 network regulating the mammalian cell cycle is
                 formulated as a Boolean control network BCN model
                 consisting of nine proteins as state nodes and a tenth
                 protein protein CycD as the control input node. In this
                 model, one of the state nodes, protein Cdc20, plays a
                 central role in the separation of sister chromatids.
                 Hence, if any Cdc20 sequence can be obtained, fully
                 controlling the mammalian cell cycle is feasible.
                 Motivated by this fact, we study whether any Cdc20
                 sequence can be obtained theoretically. We formulate
                 the foregoing problem as the invertibility of BCNs,
                 that is, whether one can obtain any Cdc20 sequence by
                 designing input i.e., protein CycD sequences. We give
                 an algorithm to verify the invertibility of any BCN,
                 and find that the BCN model for the core network
                 regulating the mammalian cell cycle is not invertible,
                 that is, one cannot obtain any Cdc20 sequence. We
                 further present another algorithm to test whether a
                 finite Cdc20 sequence can be generated by the BCN
                 model, which leads to a series of periodic infinite
                 Cdc20 sequences with alternately active and inactive
                 Cdc20 segments. States of these sequences are
                 alternated between the two attractors in the proposed
                 model, which reproduces correctly how a cell exits the
                 cell cycle to enter the quiescent state, or the
                 opposite.",

  abstract =     "Understanding binding cores is of fundamental
                 importance in deciphering Protein-DNA TF-TFBS binding
                 and gene regulation. Limited by expensive experiments,
                 it is promising to discover them with variations
                 directly from sequence data. Although existing
                 computational methods have produced satisfactory
                 results, they are one-to-one mappings with no
                 site-specific information on residue/nucleotide
                 variations, where these variations in binding cores may
                 impact binding specificity. This study presents a new
                 representation for modeling binding cores by
                 incorporating variations and an algorithm to discover
                 them from only sequence data. Our algorithm takes
                 protein and DNA sequences from TRANSFAC a Protein-DNA
                 Binding Database as input; discovers from both sets of
                 sequences conserved regions in Aligned Pattern Clusters
                 APCs; associates them as Protein-DNA Co-Occurring APCs;
                 ranks the Protein-DNA Co-Occurring APCs according to
                 their co-occurrence, and among the top ones, finds
                 three-dimensional structures to support each binding
                 core candidate. If successful, candidates are verified
                 as binding cores. Otherwise, homology modeling is
                 applied to their close matches in PDB to attain new
                 chemically feasible binding cores. Our algorithm
                 obtains binding cores with higher precision and much
                 faster runtime $ \geq $ 1,600x than that of its
                 contemporaries, discovering candidates that do not
                 co-occur as one-to-one associated patterns in the raw
                 data. Availability:

                 combines the strength of random forest and the
                 advantage of SNF at data aggregation. The experimental

  abstract =     "IEF LC-MS/MS is an analytical method that incorporates
                 a two-step sample separation prior to MS identification
                 of proteins. When analyzing complex samples this
                 preparatory separation allows for higher analytical
                 depth and improved quantification accuracy of proteins.
                 However, cost and analysis time are greatly increased
                 as each analyzed IEF fraction is separately profiled
                 using LC-MS/MS. We propose an approach that selects a
                 subset of IEF fractions for LC-MS/MS analysis that is
                 highly informative in the context of a group of
                 proteins of interest. Specifically, our method allows a
                 significant reduction in cost and instrument time as
                 compared to the standard protocol of running all
                 fractions, with little compromise to coverage. We
                 develop algorithmics to optimize the selection of the
                 IEF fractions on which to run LC-MS/MS. We translate
                 the fraction optimization task to Minimum Set Cover, a
                 well-studied NP-hard problem. We develop heuristic
                 solutions and compare them in terms of effectiveness
                 and running times. We provide examples to demonstrate
                 advantages and limitations of each algorithmic
                 approach. Finally, we test our methodology by applying
                 it to experimental data obtained from IEF LC-MS/MS
                 analysis of yeast and human samples. We demonstrate the
                 benefit of this approach for analyzing complex samples
                 with a focus on different protein sets of interest.",

                 identify critical and redundant proteins in a protein
                 interaction network. We focused on the investigation of

                 context of the analysis of interaction networks
                 specific to cell cycle in both yeast and human. A total
                 of 132 yeast genes and 129 human proteins have been
                 identified as critical nodes while 950 in yeast and 980

                 systematic point mutations to measure the effect on
                 antibacterial activity, the computational community
                 seeks to understand what determines such activity in a

  abstract =     "Particle selection from cryo-electron microscopy
                 Cryo-EM images is very important for high-resolution
                 reconstruction of macromolecular structure. The methods
                 of particle selection can be roughly grouped into two
                 classes, template-matching methods and feature-based
                 methods. In general, template-matching methods usually
                 generate better results than feature-based methods.
                 However, the accuracy of template-matching methods is
                 restricted by the noise and low contrast of Cryo-EM
                 images. Moreover, the processing speed of
                 template-matching methods, restricted by the random
                 orientation of particles, further limits their
                 practical applications. In this paper, combining the
                 advantages of feature-based methods and
                 template-matching methods, we present a two-phase
                 improved correlation method for automatic, fast
                 particle selection. In Phase I, we generate a
                 preliminary particle set using rotation-invariant
                 features of particles. In Phase II, we filter the
                 preliminary particle set using a correlation method to
                 reduce the interference of the high noise background
                 and improve the precision of particle selection. We
                 apply several optimization strategies, including a
                 modified adaboost algorithm, Divide and Conquer

                 wet-lab mass spectrometry experiment, which result from
                 the concurrent fragmentation of multiple precursors.
                 The ability to efficiently and confidently identify
                 mixture spectra is essential to alleviate the existent
                 bottleneck of low mass spectra identification rate.
                 However, most of the traditional computational methods
                 are not suitable for interpreting mixture spectra,
                 because they still take the assumption that the
                 acquired spectra come from the fragmentation of a
                 single precursor. In this manuscript, we formulate the
                 mixture spectra de novo sequencing problem
                 mathematically, and propose a dynamic programming

                 and technology, novel computational methods have

                 Here, a de novo sequencing method for ECD/ETD spectra,
                 NovoExD, is presented. NovoExD applies a new form of
                 spectrum graph with multiple edge types called a GMET,
                 considers multiple peptide tags, and integrates amino

                 functional annotations becomes increasing wider, many
                 computational methods have been proposed to annotate
                 functions for unknown proteins. However, designing
                 effective methods to make good use of various
                 biological resources is still a big challenge for
                 researchers due to function diversity of proteins. In
                 this work, we propose a new method named ThrRW, which
                 takes several steps of random walking on three
                 different biological networks: protein interaction
                 network PIN, domain co-occurrence network DCN, and
                 functional interrelationship network FIN, respectively,
                 so as to infer functional information from neighbors in
                 the corresponding networks. With respect to the
                 topological and structural differences of the three

                 or reproduction of an organism. Identification of
                 essential proteins is not only necessary for the
                 understanding of the minimal requirements for cellular
                 life, but also important for the disease study and drug
                 design. With the development of high-throughput
                 techniques, a large number of protein-protein
                 interaction data are available, which promotes the
                 studies of essential proteins from the network level.
                 Up to now, though a series of computational methods
                 have been proposed, the prediction precision still
                 needs to be improved. In this paper, we propose a new
                 method, United complex Centrality UC, to identify
                 essential proteins by integrating the protein complexes
                 with the topological features of protein-protein
                 interaction PPI networks. By analyzing the relationship
                 between the essential proteins and the known protein
                 complexes of S. cerevisiae and human, we find that the
                 proteins in complexes are more likely to be essential
                 compared with the proteins not included in any
                 complexes and the proteins appeared in multiple
                 complexes are more inclined to be essential compared to
                 those only appeared in a single complex. Considering
                 that some protein complexes generated by computational
                 methods are inaccurate, we also provide a modified
                 version of UC with parameter alpha, named UC-P. The
                 experimental results show that protein complex
                 information can help identify the essential proteins
                 more accurate both for the PPI network of S. cerevisiae
                 and that of human. The proposed method UC performs
                 obviously better than the eight previously proposed
                 methods DC, IC, EC, SC, BC, CC, NC, and LAC for

                 significance level are immense, $ 10^4 $ up to $ 10^8 $
                 or even more permutations can be needed. We have
                 previously introduced the PruneDIRECT algorithm for

                 algorithm has specific strengths for permutation

                 computing framework for identifying multiple
                 interacting QTL using the PruneDIRECT algorithm which
                 uses the map-reduce model as implemented in Hadoop. The
                 framework is implemented in R, a widely used software

                 permutations for a 2D QTL problem in $ 15 $ hours,

  abstract =     "Protein ubiquitination, involving the conjugation of
                 ubiquitin on lysine residue, serves as an important
                 modulator of many cellular functions in eukaryotes.
                 Recent advancements in proteomic technology have
                 stimulated increasing interest in identifying
                 ubiquitination sites. However, most computational tools
                 for predicting ubiquitination sites are focused on
                 small-scale data. With an increasing number of
                 experimentally verified ubiquitination sites, we were
                 motivated to design a predictive model for identifying
                 lysine ubiquitination sites for large-scale proteome
                 dataset. This work assessed not only single features,
                 such as amino acid composition AAC, amino acid pair
                 composition AAPC and evolutionary information, but also
                 the effectiveness of incorporating two or more features
                 into a hybrid approach to model construction. The
                 support vector machine SVM was applied to generate the
                 prediction models for ubiquitination site
                 identification. Evaluation by five-fold
                 cross-validation showed that the SVM models learned
                 from the combination of hybrid features delivered a
                 better prediction performance. Additionally, a motif
                 discovery tool, MDDLogo, was adopted to characterize
                 the potential substrate motifs of ubiquitination sites.
                 The SVM models integrating the MDDLogo-identified
                 substrate motifs could yield an average accuracy of
                 68.70 percent. Furthermore, the independent testing
                 result showed that the MDDLogo-clustered SVM models
                 could provide a promising accuracy 78.50 percent and
                 perform better than other prediction tools. Two cases
                 have demonstrated the effective prediction of
                 ubiquitination sites with corresponding substrate
                 motifs.",

  abstract =     "Evolutionary data has been traditionally modeled via
                 phylogenetic trees; however, branching alone cannot
                 model conflicting phylogenetic signals, so networks are
                 used instead. Ancestral recombination graphs ARGs are
                 used to model the evolution of incompatible sets of SNP
                 data, allowing each site to mutate only once. The model
                 often aims to minimize the number of recombinations.
                 Similarly, incompatible cluster data can be represented
                 by a reticulation network that minimizes reticulation
                 events. The ARG literature has traditionally been
                 disjoint from the reticulation network literature. By
                 building on results from the reticulation network
                 literature, we resolve an open question of interest to
                 the ARG community. We explicitly prove that the History
                 Bound, a lower bound on the number of recombinations in
                 an ARG for a binary matrix, which was previously only
                 defined procedurally, is equal to the minimum number of
                 reticulation nodes in a network for the corresponding
                 cluster data. To facilitate the proof, we give an
                 algorithm that constructs this network using
                 intermediate values from the procedural History Bound
                 definition. We then develop a top-down algorithm for
                 computing the History Bound, which has the same
                 worst-case runtime as the known dynamic program, and
                 show that it is likely to run faster in typical
                 cases.",

                 modelling, and statistical analysis approaches,
                 previous work has suggested that the induction of and
                 response to cell adhesion factors is the key initiating
                 pathway in early lymphoid tissue development, in
                 contrast to the previously accepted view that the
                 process is triggered by chemokine mediated cell
                 recruitment. These model derived hypotheses were
                 developed using spartan, an open-source sensitivity
                 analysis toolkit designed to establish and understand
                 the relationship between a computational model and the
                 biological system that model captures. Here, we extend

                 how the extensions to spartan have been used to suggest
                 that lymphoid tissue development could be biphasic, and

                 metabolic models GSMMs based on experimental data and
                 literature. This approach does not allow associating
                 specific genes with transport reactions, which impairs
                 the ability of the model to predict effects of gene
                 deletions. Novel methods for systematic genome-wide
                 transporter functional annotation and their integration
                 into GSMMs are therefore necessary. In this work, an
                 automatic system to detect and classify all potential
                 membrane transport proteins for a given genome and
                 integrate the related reactions into GSMMs is proposed,
                 based on the identification and classification of genes

                 Reactions Annotation and Generation TRIAGE tool

                 transmembrane protein and its transporter family. The
                 localization of the carriers is also predicted and,

                 membrane. The integration of the data provided by
                 TRIAGE with highly curated models allowed the

                 that contain spatio-temporal slices of hundreds of

                 tissues is one of the essential components of all image
                 analysis pipelines. In this paper, we present a fully
                 automated 4DX-Y-Z-T registration method of live imaging
                 stacks that takes care of both temporal and spatial

  abstract =     "Given two phylogenetic trees on the same set of taxa
                 $X$ , the maximum parsimony distance $ d_\mathrm {MP}$
                 is defined as the maximum, ranging over all characters
                 $ \chi $ on $X$ , of the absolute difference in
                 parsimony score induced by $ \chi $ on the two trees.
                 In this note, we prove that for binary trees there
                 exists a character achieving this maximum that is
                 convex on one of the trees i.e., the parsimony score
                 induced on that tree is equal to the number of states
                 in the character minus 1 and such that the number of
                 states in the character is at most $ 7 d_\mathrm {MP} -
                 5$ . This is the first non-trivial bound on the number
                 of states required by optimal characters, convex or
                 otherwise. The result potentially has algorithmic
                 significance because, unlike general characters, convex
                 characters with a bounded number of states can be
                 enumerated in polynomial time.",

                 by hundreds of algebraic stationary MFA or ordinary

                 the number of operations is therefore a crucial part of

                 to compute the gradient of the residual sum of squares.
                 The proposed approach shows significant improvements in
                 terms of complexity and computation time when it is

                 which contains important structural, characteristic,
                 and genetic information and thereby motivates many
                 sequence-based computational approaches to infer
                 protein function. Among them, feature-base approaches
                 attract increased attention because they make
                 prediction from a set of transformed and more
                 biologically meaningful sequence features. However,
                 original features extracted from sequence are usually
                 of high dimensionality and often compromised by
                 irrelevant patterns, therefore dimension reduction is
                 necessary prior to classification for efficient and
                 effective protein function prediction. A protein
                 usually performs several different functions within an
                 organism, which makes protein function prediction a
                 multi-label classification problem. In machine
                 learning, multi-label classification deals with
                 problems where each object may belong to more than one
                 class. As a well-known feature reduction method, linear
                 discriminant analysis LDA has been successfully applied
                 in many practical applications. It, however, by nature
                 is designed for single-label classification, in which
                 each object can belong to exactly one class. Because
                 directly applying LDA in multi-label classification
                 causes ambiguity when computing scatters matrices, we
                 apply a new Multi-label Linear Discriminant Analysis
                 MLDA approach to address this problem and meanwhile
                 preserve powerful classification capability inherited
                 from classical LDA. We further extend MLDA by $
                 \ell_1$-normalization to overcome the problem of
                 over-counting data points with multiple labels. In
                 addition, we incorporate biological network data using
                 Laplacian embedding into our method, and assess the
                 reliability of predicted putative functions. Extensive
                 empirical evaluations demonstrate promising results of

                 techniques have made it possible to offer phenotype
                 classification of many diseases. However, in gene
                 expression data analysis, each sample is represented by
                 quite a large number of genes, and many of them are
                 redundant or insignificant to clarify the disease
                 problem. Therefore, how to efficiently select the most
                 useful genes has been becoming one of the most hot
                 research topics in the gene expression data analysis.
                 In this paper, a novel unsupervised two-stage
                 coarse-fine gene selection method is proposed. In the
                 first stage, we apply the kmeans algorithm to
                 over-cluster the genes and discard some redundant
                 genes. In the second stage, we select the most
                 representative genes from the remaining ones based on
                 matrix factorization. Finally the experimental results
                 on several data sets are presented to show the

  abstract =     "RNA-Sequencing has been the leading technology to
                 quantify expression of thousands of genes
                 simultaneously. The data analysis of an RNA-Seq
                 experiment starts from aligning short reads to the
                 reference genome/transcriptome or reconstructed
                 transcriptome. However, current aligners lack the
                 sensitivity to distinguish reads that come from
                 homologous regions of an genome. One group of these
                 homologies is the paralog pseudogenes. Pseudogenes
                 arise from duplication of a set of protein coding
                 genes, and have been considered as degraded paralogs in
                 the genome due to their lost of functionality. Recent
                 studies have provided evidence to support their novel
                 regulatory roles in biological processes. With the
                 growing interests in quantifying the expression level
                 of pseudogenes at different tissues or cell lines, it
                 is critical to have a sensitive method that can
                 correctly align ambiguous reads and accurately estimate
                 the expression level among homologous genes. Previously
                 in PseudoLasso, we proposed a linear regression
                 approach to learn read alignment behaviors, and to
                 leverage this knowledge for abundance estimation and
                 alignment correction. In this paper, we extend the work
                 of PseudoLasso by grouping the homologous genomic
                 regions into different communities using a community
                 detection algorithm, followed by building a linear
                 regression model separately for each community. The
                 results show that this approach is able to retain the
                 same accuracy as PseudoLasso. By breaking the genome
                 into smaller homologous communities, the running time
                 is improved from quadratic growth to linear with
                 respect to the number of genes.",

                 forms of neurotrauma that has affected more than
                 250,000 military service members over the last decade
                 alone. While in battle, service members who experience
                 TBI are at significant risk for the development of
                 normal TBI symptoms, as well as risk for the
                 development of psychological disorders such as
                 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD. As such, these
                 service members often require intense bouts of
                 medication and therapy in order to resume full
                 return-to-duty status. The primary aim of this study is
                 to identify the relationship between the administration
                 of specific medications and reductions in symptomology
                 such as headaches, dizziness, or light-headedness.

                 data provides unique opportunities for improving the
                 quality of health services. In this study, we couple
                 EHRs with the advanced machine learning tools to
                 predict three important parameters of healthcare
                 quality. More specifically, we describe how to learn
                 low-dimensional vector representations of patient
                 conditions and clinical procedures in an unsupervised
                 manner, and generate feature vectors of hospitalized
                 patients useful for predicting their length of stay,
                 total incurred charges, and mortality rates. In order
                 to learn vector representations, we propose to employ
                 state-of-the-art language models specifically designed
                 for modeling co-occurrence of diseases and applied
                 clinical procedures. The proposed model is trained on a
                 large-scale EHR database comprising more than 35
                 million hospitalizations in California over a period of
                 nine years. We compared the proposed approach to
                 several alternatives and evaluated their effectiveness

                 models used for three predictive tasks considered in
                 this study. Our model outperformed the baseline models

  abstract =     "Accurate prognosis of outcome events, such as clinical
                 procedures or disease diagnosis, is central in
                 medicine. The emergence of longitudinal clinical data,
                 like the Electronic Health Records EHR, represents an
                 opportunity to develop automated methods for predicting
                 patient outcomes. However, these data are highly
                 dimensional and very sparse, complicating the
                 application of predictive modeling techniques. Further,
                 their temporal nature is not fully exploited by current
                 methods, and temporal abstraction was recently used
                 which results in symbolic time intervals
                 representation. We present Maitreya, a framework for
                 the prediction of outcome events that leverages these
                 symbolic time intervals. Using Maitreya, learn
                 predictive models based on the temporal patterns in the
                 clinical records that are prognostic markers and use
                 these markers to train predictive models for eight
                 clinical procedures. In order to decrease the number of
                 patterns that are used as features, we propose the use
                 of three one class feature selection methods. We
                 evaluate the performance of Maitreya under several
                 parameter settings, including the one-class feature
                 selection, and compare our results to that of atemporal
                 approaches. In general, we found that the use of
                 temporal patterns outperformed the atemporal methods,
                 when representing the number of pattern occurrences.",

  abstract =     "The problem of constructing classifiers from multiple
                 annotators who provide inconsistent training labels is
                 important and occurs in many application domains. Many
                 existing methods focus on the understanding and
                 learning of the crowd behaviors. Several probabilistic
                 algorithms consider the construction of classifiers for
                 specific tasks using consensus of multiple labelers
                 annotations. These methods impose a prior on the
                 consensus and develop an expectation-maximization
                 algorithm based on logistic regression loss. We extend
                 the discussion to the hinge loss commonly used by
                 support vector machines. Our formulations form
                 bi-convex programs that construct classifiers and
                 estimate the reliability of each labeler
                 simultaneously. Each labeler is associated with a
                 reliability parameter, which can be a constant, or
                 class-dependent, or varies for different examples. The
                 hinge loss is modified by replacing the true labels by
                 the weighted combination of labelers' labels with
                 reliabilities as weights. Statistical justification is
                 discussed to motivate the use of linear combination of
                 labels. In parallel to the expectation-maximization
                 algorithm for logistic-based methods, efficient
                 alternating algorithms are developed to solve the
                 proposed bi-convex programs. Experimental results on
                 benchmark datasets and three real-world biomedical
                 problems demonstrate that the proposed methods either
                 outperform or are competitive to the state of the

                 density image obtained from cryo-electron microscopy is
                 to compute the optimal mapping between the secondary
                 structure traces observed in the density image and
                 those predicted on the protein sequence. When secondary
                 structures are not determined precisely, either from
                 the image or from the amino acid sequence of the
                 protein, the computational problem becomes more
                 complex. We present an efficient method that addresses
                 the secondary structure placement problem in presence
                 of multiple secondary structure predictions and
                 computes the optimal mapping. We tested the method

                 two Cryo-EM images of $ \alpha $--$ \beta $ proteins.
                 We observed that the rank of the true topologies is
                 consistently improved by using multiple secondary
                 structure predictions instead of a single prediction.
                 The results show that the algorithm is robust and works
                 well even when errors/misses in the predicted secondary
                 structures are present in the image or the sequence.
                 The results also show that the algorithm is efficient

  abstract =     "Duplication-Transfer-Loss DTL reconciliation has
                 emerged as a powerful technique for studying gene
                 family evolution in the presence of horizontal gene
                 transfer. DTL reconciliation takes as input a gene
                 family phylogeny and the corresponding species
                 phylogeny, and reconciles the two by postulating
                 speciation, gene duplication, horizontal gene transfer,
                 and gene loss events. Efficient algorithms exist for
                 finding optimal DTL reconciliations when the gene tree
                 is binary. However, gene trees are frequently
                 non-binary. With such non-binary gene trees, the
                 reconciliation problem seeks to find a binary
                 resolution of the gene tree that minimizes the
                 reconciliation cost. Given the prevalence of non-binary
                 gene trees, many efficient algorithms have been
                 developed for this problem in the context of the
                 simpler Duplication-Loss DL reconciliation model. Yet,
                 no efficient algorithms exist for DTL reconciliation
                 with non-binary gene trees and the complexity of the
                 problem remains unknown. In this work, we resolve this
                 open question by showing that the problem is, in fact,
                 NP-hard. Our reduction applies to both the dated and
                 undated formulations of DTL reconciliation. By
                 resolving this long-standing open problem, this work
                 will spur the development of both exact and heuristic
                 algorithms for this important problem.",

                 nucleotide polymorphism SNP genotyping technology,
                 large genome-wide association studies GWASs have been
                 considered to hold promise for unraveling complex
                 relationships between genotypes and phenotypes. Current
                 multi-locus-based methods are insufficient to detect
                 interactions with diverse genetic effects on
                 multifarious diseases. Also, statistic tests for
                 high-order epistasis $ \geq 2 $ SNPs raise huge
                 computational and analytical challenges because the
                 computation increases exponentially as the growth of
                 the cardinality of SNPs combinations. In this paper, we
                 provide a simple, fast and powerful method, named DAM,
                 using Bayesian inference to detect genome-wide
                 multi-locus epistatic interactions in multiple
                 diseases. Experimental results on simulated data
                 demonstrate that our method is powerful and efficient.
                 We also apply DAM on two GWAS datasets from WTCCC,
                 i.e., Rheumatoid Arthritis and Type 1 Diabetes, and
                 identify some novel findings. Therefore, we believe
                 that our method is suitable and efficient for the

                 biochemical reaction networks can greatly alter
                 transient and steady-state system properties. A common
                 approach to modeling reaction networks, which accounts
                 for system size, is the chemical master equation that
                 governs the dynamics of the joint probability
                 distribution for molecular copy number. However,
                 calculation of the stationary distribution is often
                 prohibitive, due to the large state-space associated
                 with most biochemical reaction networks. Here, we
                 analyze a network representing a luminal calcium
                 release site model and investigate to what extent small
                 system size effects and calcium fluctuations, driven by
                 ion channel gating, influx and diffusion, alter
                 steady-state ion channel properties including open
                 probability. For a physiological ion channel gating
                 model and number of channels, the state-space may be
                 between approximately $ 10^6 - 10^8 $ elements, and a
                 novel modified block power method is used to solve the
                 associated dominant eigenvector problem required to
                 calculate the stationary distribution. We demonstrate
                 that both small local cytosolic domain volume and a
                 small number of ion channels drive calcium fluctuations
                 that result in deviation from the corresponding model
                 that neglects small system size effects.",

                 is expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, there is a
                 continuous demand for more accurate predictions of
                 interactions using computational techniques. Algorithms
                 have been devised to infer novel interactions on a
                 global scale where the input to these algorithms is a
                 drug-target network i.e., a bipartite graph where edges
                 connect pairs of drugs and targets that are known to
                 interact. However, these algorithms had difficulty
                 predicting interactions involving new drugs or targets
                 for which there are no known interactions i.e.,
                 ``orphan'' nodes in the network. Since data usually lie
                 on or near to low-dimensional non-linear manifolds, we
                 propose two matrix factorization methods that use graph
                 regularization in order to learn such manifolds. In
                 addition, considering that many of the non-occurring
                 edges in the network are actually unknown or missing
                 cases, we developed a preprocessing step to enhance
                 predictions in the ``new drug'' and ``new target''
                 cases by adding edges with intermediate interaction
                 likelihood scores. In our cross validation experiments,
                 our methods achieved better results than three other
                 state-of-the-art methods in most cases. Finally, we
                 simulated some ``new drug'' and ``new target'' cases
                 and found that GRMF predicted the left-out interactions

  abstract =     "Exact stochastic simulation is an indispensable tool
                 for a quantitative study of biochemical reaction
                 networks. The simulation realizes the time evolution of
                 the model by randomly choosing a reaction to fire and
                 update the system state according to a probability that
                 is proportional to the reaction propensity. Two
                 computationally expensive tasks in simulating large
                 biochemical networks are the selection of next reaction
                 firings and the update of reaction propensities due to
                 state changes. We present in this work a new exact
                 algorithm to optimize both of these simulation
                 bottlenecks. Our algorithm employs the
                 composition-rejection on the propensity bounds of
                 reactions to select the next reaction firing. The
                 selection of next reaction firings is independent of
                 the number reactions while the update of propensities
                 is skipped and performed only when necessary. It
                 therefore provides a favorable scaling for the
                 computational complexity in simulating large reaction
                 networks. We benchmark our new algorithm with the state

                 however largely unexplored. In this paper, we present a
                 runtime reconfigurable architecture for accelerating
                 short read alignment using FPGAs. This architecture
                 exploits the reconfigurability of FPGAs to allow the
                 development of fast yet flexible alignment designs. We
                 apply this architecture to develop an alignment design
                 which supports exact and approximate alignment with up
                 to two mismatches. Our design is based on the FM-index,
                 with optimizations to improve the alignment
                 performance. In particular, the $n$-step FM-index,
                 index oversampling, a seed-and-compare stage, and
                 bi-directional backtracking are included. Our design is
                 implemented and evaluated on a 1U Maxeler MPC-X2000
                 dataflow node with eight Altera Stratix-V FPGAs.
                 Measurements show that our design is 28 times faster
                 than Bowtie2 running with 16 threads on dual Intel Xeon
                 E5-2640 CPUs, and nine times faster than Soap3-dp
                 running on an NVIDIA Tesla C2070 GPU.",

  abstract =     "Disease comorbidity is the presence of one or more
                 diseases along with a primary disorder, which causes
                 additional pain to patients and leads to the failure of
                 standard treatments compared with single diseases.
                 Therefore, the identification of potential comorbidity
                 can help prevent those comorbid diseases when treating
                 a primary disease. Unfortunately, most of current known
                 disease comorbidities are discovered occasionally in
                 clinic, and our knowledge about comorbidity is far from
                 complete. Despite the fact that many efforts have been
                 made to predict disease comorbidity, the prediction
                 accuracy of existing computational approaches needs to
                 be improved. By investigating the factors underlying
                 disease comorbidity, e.g., mutated genes and rewired
                 protein-protein interactions PPIs, we here present a
                 novel algorithm to predict disease comorbidity by
                 integrating multi-scale data ranging from genes to
                 phenotypes. Benchmark results on real data show that
                 our approach outperforms existing algorithms, and some
                 of our novel predictions are validated with those
                 reported in literature, indicating the effectiveness
                 and predictive power of our approach. In addition, we
                 identify some pathway and PPI patterns that underlie
                 the co-occurrence between a primary disease and certain
                 disease classes, which can help explain how the
                 comorbidity is initiated from molecular perspectives.",

                 important goal in biomedical research. In this paper,
                 we use a novel relevance measure, called HeteSim, to
                 prioritize candidate disease genes. Two methods based
                 on heterogeneous networks constructed using
                 protein-protein interaction, gene-phenotype
                 associations, and phenotype-phenotype similarity, are
                 presented. In HeteSim_MultiPath HSMP, HeteSim scores of
                 different paths are combined with a constant that
                 dampens the contributions of longer paths. In
                 HeteSim_SVM HSSVM, HeteSim scores are combined with a
                 machine learning method. The 3-fold experiments show
                 that our non-machine learning method HSMP performs
                 better than the existing non-machine learning methods,
                 our machine learning method HSSVM obtains similar
                 accuracy with the best existing machine learning method
                 CATAPULT. From the analysis of the top 10 predicted
                 genes for different diseases, we found that HSSVM avoid
                 the disadvantage of the existing machine learning based
                 methods, which always predict similar genes for
                 different diseases. The data sets and Matlab code for
                 the two methods are freely available for download at

                 the relationship that exists between RNA structure and
                 its function, as well as the development of better RNA
                 structure prediction algorithms. However, in the
                 context of RNA visualization, one key structure remains
                 difficult to visualize: Pseudoknots. Pseudoknots occur
                 in RNA folding when two secondary structural components
                 form base-pairs between them. The three-dimensional
                 nature of these components makes them challenging to
                 visualize in two-dimensional media, such as print media
                 or screens. In this review, we focus on the
                 advancements that have been made in the field of RNA
                 visualization in two-dimensional media in the past two
                 decades. The review aims at presenting all relevant
                 aspects of pseudoknot visualization. We start with an
                 overview of several pseudoknotted structures and their
                 relevance in RNA function. Next, we discuss the
                 theoretical basis for RNA structural topology
                 classification and present RNA classification systems
                 for both pseudoknotted and non-pseudoknotted RNAs. Each
                 description of RNA classification system is followed by
                 a discussion of the software tools and algorithms

                 opportunities for more comprehensive analysis of the
                 molecular characteristics of human diseases and
                 therefore improving diagnosis, treatment, and
                 prevention. In this study, we proposed a heterogeneous
                 network based method by integrating multi-dimensional
                 data HNMD to identify GBM-related genes. The novelty of
                 the method lies in that the multi-dimensional data of
                 GBM from TCGA dataset that provide comprehensive
                 information of genes, are combined with protein-protein
                 interactions to construct a weighted heterogeneous
                 network, which reflects both the general and
                 disease-specific relationships between genes. In
                 addition, a propagation algorithm with resistance is
                 introduced to precisely score and rank GBM-related
                 genes. The results of comprehensive performance
                 evaluation show that the proposed method significantly
                 outperforms the network based methods with
                 single-dimensional data and other existing approaches.
                 Subsequent analysis of the top ranked genes suggests
                 they may be functionally implicated in GBM, which
                 further corroborates the superiority of the proposed
                 method. The source code and the results of HNMD can be

                 different computational methods may have their own
                 advantages and limitations. Ensemble clustering has
                 thus been studied to minimize the potential bias and
                 risk of individual methods and generate prediction
                 results with better coverage and accuracy. In this
                 paper, we extend the traditional ensemble clustering by
                 taking into account the co-complex affinity scores and
                 present an Ensemble H ierarchical Clustering framework
                 EnsemHC to detect protein complexes. First, we
                 construct co-cluster matrices by integrating the
                 clustering results with the co-complex evidences.
                 Second, we sum up the constructed co-cluster matrices

  abstract =     "Metagenomics involves the analysis of genomes of
                 microorganisms sampled directly from their environment.
                 Next Generation Sequencing allows a high-throughput
                 sampling of small segments from genomes in the
                 metagenome to generate reads. To study the properties
                 and relationships of the microorganisms present,
                 clustering can be performed based on the inherent
                 composition of the sampled reads for unknown species.
                 We propose a two-dimensional lattice based
                 probabilistic model for clustering metagenomic
                 datasets. The occurrence of a species in the metagenome
                 is estimated using a lattice of probabilistic
                 distributions over small sized genomic sequences. The
                 two dimensions denote distributions for different sizes
                 and groups of words, respectively. The lattice
                 structure allows for additional support for a node from
                 its neighbors when the probabilistic support for the
                 species using the parameters of the current node is
                 deemed insufficient. We also show convergence for our
                 algorithm. We test our algorithm on simulated
                 metagenomic data containing bacterial species and
                 observe more than 85\% precision. We also evaluate our
                 algorithm on an in vitro-simulated bacterial metagenome
                 and on human patient data, and show a better clustering
                 than other algorithms even for short reads and varied
                 abundance. The software and datasets can be downloaded

                 understanding cellular mechanisms in different
                 organisms. Many supervised classifiers like Random
                 Forest RF and Support Vector Machine SVM have been used
                 for intra or inter-species interaction prediction. For
                 improving the prediction performance, in this paper we
                 propose a novel set of features to represent a protein
                 pair using their annotated Gene Ontology GO terms,
                 including their ancestors. In our approach, a protein
                 pair is treated as a document bag of words, where the
                 terms annotating the two proteins represent the words.
                 Feature value of each word is calculated using
                 information content of the corresponding term
                 multiplied by a coefficient, which represents the
                 weight of that term inside a document i.e., a protein
                 pair. We have tested the performance of the classifier
                 using the proposed feature on different well known data
                 sets of different species like S. cerevisiae, H.
                 Sapiens, E. Coli, and D. melanogaster. We compare it

                 regression modeling strategy based on Wilcoxon rank sum
                 test WRST to effectively uncover driver genes in
                 classification. In order to incorporate significance of
                 gene in classification, we first measure significance
                 of each gene by gene ranking method based on WRST, and
                 then the adaptive L $_1$-type penalty is discriminately
                 imposed on each gene depending on the measured
                 importance degree of gene. The incorporating
                 significance of genes into adaptive logistic regression
                 enables us to impose a large amount of penalty on low
                 ranking genes, and thus noise genes are easily deleted
                 from the model and we can effectively identify driver
                 genes. Monte Carlo experiments and real world example
                 are conducted to investigate effectiveness of the
                 proposed approach. In Sanger data analysis, we
                 introduce a strategy to identify expression modules
                 indicating gene regulatory mechanisms via the principal
                 component analysis PCA, and perform logistic regression
                 modeling based on not a single gene but gene expression
                 modules. We can see through Monte Carlo experiments and
                 real world example that the proposed adaptive penalized
                 logistic regression outperforms feature selection and
                 classification compared with existing L $_1$ -type
                 regularization. The discriminately imposed penalty
                 based on WRST effectively performs crucial gene
                 selection, and thus our method can improve
                 classification accuracy without interruption of noise
                 genes. Furthermore, it can be seen through Sanger data
                 analysis that the method for gene expression modules
                 based on principal components and their loading scores

                 a ubiquitous tool used in the life sciences for
                 pairwise sequence search. However, with the advent of
                 next-generation sequencing NGS, whether at the outset
                 or downstream from NGS, the exponential growth of
                 sequence databases is outstripping our ability to
                 analyze the data. While recent studies have utilized
                 the graphics processing unit GPU to speedup the BLAST
                 algorithm for searching protein sequences i.e., BLASTP,
                 these studies use coarse-grained parallelism, where one
                 sequence alignment is mapped to only one thread. Such
                 an approach does not efficiently utilize the
                 capabilities of a GPU, particularly due to the
                 irregularity of BLASTP in both execution paths and
                 memory-access patterns. To address the above
                 shortcomings, we present a fine-grained approach to
                 parallelize BLASTP, where each individual phase of
                 sequence search is mapped to many threads on a GPU.
                 This approach, which we refer to as cuBLASTP, reorders
                 data-access patterns and reduces divergent branches of
                 the most time-consuming phases i.e., hit detection and
                 ungapped extension. In addition, cuBLASTP optimizes the
                 remaining phases i.e., gapped extension and alignment
                 with trace back on a multicore CPU and overlaps their
                 execution with the phases running on the GPU.",

                 complicated cascade of association and dissociation
                 steps, the great majority of which cannot be directly
                 experimentally observed. This has made capsid assembly
                 a rich field for computational models, but there are
                 substantial obstacles to model inference for such
                 systems. Here, we describe progress on fitting kinetic
                 rate constants defining capsid assembly models to
                 experimental data, a difficult data-fitting problem
                 because of the high computational cost of simulating
                 assembly trajectories, the stochastic noise inherent to
                 the models, and the limited and noisy data available
                 for fitting. We evaluate the merits of data-fitting
                 methods based on derivative-free optimization DFO
                 relative to gradient-based methods used in prior work.
                 We further explore the advantages of alternative data
                 sources through simulation of a model of time-resolved
                 mass spectrometry data, a technology for monitoring
                 bulk capsid assembly that can be expected to provide
                 much richer data than previously used static light
                 scattering approaches. The results show that advances
                 in both the data and the algorithms can improve model
                 inference. More informative data sources lead to
                 high-quality fits for all methods, but DFO methods show
                 substantial advantages on less informative data sources
                 that better represent current experimental practice.",

                 associated with complex diseases and particular tumor
                 types, thus reliable identification of CNVs is of great
                 potential value. Recent advances in next generation
                 sequencing NGS data analysis have helped manifest the
                 richness of CNV information. However, the performances
                 of these methods are not consistent. Reliably finding
                 CNVs in NGS data in an efficient way remains a
                 challenging topic, worthy of further investigation.
                 Accordingly, we tackle the problem by formulating CNVs
                 identification into a quadratic optimization problem
                 involving two constraints. By imposing the constraints
                 of sparsity and smoothness, the reconstructed read
                 depth signal from NGS is anticipated to fit the CNVs
                 patterns more accurately. An efficient numerical
                 solution tailored from alternating direction
                 minimization ADM framework is elaborated. We
                 demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method,
                 namely ADM-CNV, by comparing it with six popular CNV
                 detection methods using synthetic, simulated, and
                 empirical sequencing data. It is shown that the
                 proposed approach can successfully reconstruct CNV
                 patterns from raw data, and achieve superior or
                 comparable performance in detection of the CNVs

                 Identification of homogeneous cell populations,
                 currently done by manual biaxial gating, is highly
                 subjective and time consuming. To overcome the

                 sub-synaptic localization and subunit composition are
                 dynamically regulated by activity-dependent insertion
                 and internalization. However, understanding the impact

                 localization of iGluRs is difficult to address
                 experimentally. To address this question, we developed
                 a detailed computational model of glutamatergic
                 synapses, including spine and dendritic compartments,
                 elementary models of subtypes of NMDA and AMPA

  abstract =     "Since the discovery of the regulatory function of
                 microRNA miRNA, increased attention has focused on
                 identifying the relationship between miRNA and disease.
                 It has been suggested that computational method is an
                 efficient way to identify potential disease-related
                 miRNAs for further confirmation using biological
                 experiments. In this paper, we first highlighted three
                 limitations commonly associated with previous
                 computational methods. To resolve these limitations, we
                 established disease similarity subnetwork and miRNA
                 similarity subnetwork by integrating multiple data
                 sources, where the disease similarity is composed of
                 disease semantic similarity and disease functional
                 similarity, and the miRNA similarity is calculated
                 using the miRNA-target gene and miRNA-lncRNA long
                 non-coding RNA associations. Then, a heterogeneous
                 network was constructed by connecting the disease
                 similarity subnetwork and the miRNA similarity
                 subnetwork using the known miRNA-disease associations.
                 We extended random walk with restart to predict
                 miRNA-disease associations in the heterogeneous
                 network. The leave-one-out cross-validation achieved an
                 average area under the curve AUC of $ 0.8049 $ across $
                 341 $ diseases and $ 476 $ miRNAs. For five-fold
                 cross-validation, our method achieved an AUC from $
                 0.7970 $ to $ 0.9249 $ for $ 15 $ human diseases. Case
                 studies further demonstrated the feasibility of our
                 method to discover potential miRNA-disease
                 associations. An online service for prediction is

  abstract =     "The purpose of de novo assembly is to report more
                 contiguous, complete, and less error prone contigs.
                 Thanks to the advent of the next generation sequencing
                 NGS technologies, the cost of producing high depth
                 reads is reduced greatly. However, due to the
                 disadvantages of NGS, de novo assembly has to face the
                 difficulties brought by repeat regions, error rate, and
                 low sequencing coverage in some regions. Although many
                 de novo algorithms have been proposed to solve these
                 problems, the de novo assembly still remains a
                 challenge. In this article, we developed an iterative
                 seed-extension algorithm for de novo assembly, called
                 ISEA. To avoid the negative impact induced by error
                 rate, ISEA utilizes reads overlap and paired-end
                 information to correct error reads before assemblying.
                 During extending seeds in a De Bruijn graph, ISEA uses
                 an elaborately designed score function based on
                 paired-end information and the distribution of insert
                 size to solve the repeat region problem. By employing
                 the distribution of insert size, the score function can
                 also reduce the influence of error reads. In
                 scaffolding, ISEA adopts a relaxed strategy to join
                 contigs that were terminated for low coverage during
                 the extension. The performance of ISEA was compared
                 with six previous popular assemblers on four real
                 datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that
                 ISEA can effectively obtain longer and more accurate
                 scaffolds.",

                 As an emerging subfield of bioinformatics, omics
                 informatics focuses on analyzing multi-omic data
                 efficiently and effectively, and is gaining momentum.
                 There are two underlying trends in the expansion of
                 omics informatics landscape: the explosion of scattered
                 individual omics informatics tools with each of which
                 focuses on a specific task in both single- and multi-
                 omic settings, and the fast-evolving integrated
                 software platforms such as workflow management systems
                 that can assemble multiple tools into pipelines and
                 streamline integrative analysis for complicated tasks.
                 In this survey, we give a holistic view of omics
                 informatics, from scattered individual informatics
                 tools to integrated workflow management systems. We not
                 only outline the landscape and challenges of omics
                 informatics, but also sample a number of widely used
                 and cutting-edge algorithms in omics data analysis to
                 give readers a fine-grained view. We survey various
                 workflow management systems WMSs, classify them into
                 three levels of WMSs from simple software toolkits to
                 integrated multi-omic analytical platforms, and point
                 out the emerging needs for developing intelligent
                 workflow management systems. We also discuss the
                 challenges, strategies and some existing work in
                 systematic evaluation of omics informatics tools. We
                 conclude by providing future perspectives of emerging

                 operator cognitive task-load CTL is crucial for
                 preventing possible accidents in human-machine
                 collaborative systems. Recent literature has shown that
                 the change of discrete CTL level during human-machine
                 system operations can be objectively recognized using
                 neurophysiological data and supervised learning
                 technique. The objective of this work is to design
                 subject-specific multi-class CTL classifier to reveal
                 the complex unknown relationship between the operator's
                 task performance and neurophysiological features by
                 combining target class labeling, physiological feature
                 reduction and selection, and ensemble classification
                 techniques. The psychophysiological data acquisition
                 experiments were performed under multiple human-machine
                 process control tasks. Four or five target classes of
                 CTL were determined by using a Gaussian mixture model
                 and three human performance variables. By using
                 Laplacian eigenmap, a few salient EEG features were
                 extracted, and heart rates were used as the input
                 features of the CTL classifier. Then, multiple support
                 vector machines were aggregated via majority voting to
                 create an ensemble classifier for recognizing the CTL
                 classes. Finally, the obtained CTL classification
                 results were compared with those of several existing
                 methods. The results showed that the proposed methods
                 are capable of deriving a reasonable number of target
                 classes and low-dimensional optimal EEG features for
                 individual human operator subjects.",

                 associations by integrating gene expression and

                 complex relationships among drugs, targets, disease
                 genes, and diseases at a system level. Hepatocellular
                 carcinoma HCC is one of the most common malignant
                 tumors with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. We
                 provide an integrative framework to predict novel d
                 rugs for HCC based on multi-source random walk PD-MRW.
                 Firstly, based on gene expression and protein
                 interaction network, we construct a gene-gene weighted
                 interaction network GWIN. Then, based on multi-source
                 random walk in GWIN, we build a drug-drug similarity
                 network. Finally, based on the known drugs for HCC, we
                 score all drugs in the drug-drug similarity network.
                 The robustness of our predictions, their overlap with
                 those reported in Comparative Toxicogenomics Database
                 CTD and literatures, and their enriched KEGG pathway
                 demonstrate our approach can effectively identify new
                 drug indications. Specifically, regorafenib Rank = 9 in
                 top-20 list is proven to be effective in Phase I and II
                 clinical trials of HCC, and the Phase III trial is
                 ongoing. And, it has 11 overlapping pathways with HCC
                 with lower p-values. Focusing on a particular disease,
                 we believe our approach is more accurate and possesses
                 better scalability.",

                 avoid the analysis of a huge combinatorial space for

                 experience-, and intuition-based subsets of parameters

                 unrevealed. The combinatorial scan of possible
                 adjustable parameter combinations at the model

                 or segmentation. To overcome this limitation, in this
                 study, we propose a novel approach called
                 ``super-thresholding'' that utilizes a supervised
                 classifier to decide an appropriate thresholding method
                 for a specific image. This method provides a generic
                 framework that allows selection of the best
                 thresholding method among different thresholding
                 techniques that are beneficial for the problem domain.
                 A classifier model is built using features extracted
                 priori from the original image only or posteriori by
                 analyzing the outputs of thresholding methods and the
                 original image. This model is applied to identify the
                 thresholding method for new images of the domain. We
                 performed our method on protein crystallization images,
                 and then we compared our results with six thresholding
                 techniques. Numerical results are provided using four
                 different correctness measurements. Super-thresholding
                 outperforms the best single thresholding method around
                 10 percent, and it gives the best performance for
                 protein crystallization dataset in our experiments.",

                 median species tree for a given set of gene trees under
                 the deep coalescence cost. This cost accounts for the
                 minimum number of deep coalescences needed to reconcile
                 a gene tree with a species tree where the leaf-genes
                 are mapped to the leaf-species through a function
                 called leaf labeling. In order to better understand the
                 MDC approach we investigate here the diameter of a gene
                 tree, which is an important property of the deep
                 coalescence cost. This diameter is the maximal deep
                 coalescence costs for a given gene tree under all leaf
                 labelings for each possible species tree topology.
                 While we prove that this diameter is generally

                 and duplications, represent an unbalanced change of DNA
                 segments. Abundant in human genomes, CNVs contribute to
                 a large proportion of human genetic diversity, with
                 impact on many human phenotypes. Although recent
                 advances in genetic studies have shed light on the
                 impact of individual CNVs on different traits, the
                 analysis of joint effect of multiple interactive CNVs
                 lags behind from many perspectives. A primary reason is
                 that the large number of CNV combinations and
                 interactions in the human genome make it
                 computationally challenging to perform such joint
                 analysis. To address this challenge, we developed a
                 novel sparse learning framework that combines sparse
                 learning with biological networks to identify
                 interacting CNVs with joint effect on particular
                 traits. We showed that our approach performs well in
                 identifying CNVs with joint phenotypic effect using
                 simulated data. Applied to a real human genomic dataset
                 from the 1,000 Genomes Project, our approach identified
                 multiple CNVs that collectively contribute to
                 population differentiation. We found a set of multiple
                 CNVs that have joint effect in different populations,
                 and affect gene expression differently in distinct
                 populations. These results provided a collection of
                 CNVs that likely have downstream biomedical
                 implications in individuals from diverse population

  abstract =     "While the multiple sequence alignment output by an
                 aligner strongly depends on the parameter values used
                 for the alignment scoring function such as the choice
                 of gap penalties and substitution scores, most users
                 rely on the single default parameter setting provided
                 by the aligner. A different parameter setting, however,
                 might yield a much higher-quality alignment for the
                 specific set of input sequences. The problem of picking
                 a good choice of parameter values for specific input
                 sequences is called parameter advising. A parameter
                 advisor has two ingredients: i a set of parameter
                 choices to select from, and ii an estimator that
                 provides an estimate of the accuracy of the alignment
                 computed by the aligner using a parameter choice. The
                 parameter advisor picks the parameter choice from the
                 set whose resulting alignment has highest estimated
                 accuracy. In this paper, we consider for the first time
                 the problem of learning the optimal set of parameter
                 choices for a parameter advisor that uses a given
                 accuracy estimator. The optimal set is one that
                 maximizes the expected true accuracy of the resulting
                 parameter advisor, averaged over a collection of
                 training data. While we prove that learning an optimal
                 set for an advisor is NP-complete, we show there is a
                 natural approximation algorithm for this problem, and
                 prove a tight bound on its approximation ratio.
                 Experiments with an implementation of this
                 approximation algorithm on biological benchmarks, using
                 various accuracy estimators from the literature, show
                 it finds sets for advisors that are surprisingly close
                 to optimal. Furthermore, the resulting parameter
                 advisors are significantly more accurate in practice
                 than simply aligning with a single default parameter
                 choice.",

  abstract =     "Signaling pathways play an important role in the
                 cell's response to its environment. Signaling pathways
                 are often represented as directed graphs, which are not
                 adequate for modeling reactions such as complex
                 assembly and dissociation, combinatorial regulation,
                 and protein activation/inactivation. More accurate
                 representations such as directed hypergraphs remain
                 underutilized. In this paper, we present an extension
                 of a directed hypergraph that we call a signaling
                 hypergraph. We formulate a problem that asks what
                 proteins and interactions must be involved in order to
                 stimulate a specific response downstream of a signaling
                 pathway. We relate this problem to computing the
                 shortest acyclic $B$-hyperpath in a signaling
                 hypergraph-an NP-hard problem-and present a mixed
                 integer linear program to solve it. We demonstrate that
                 the shortest hyperpaths computed in signaling
                 hypergraphs are far more informative than shortest
                 paths, Steiner trees, and subnetworks containing many
                 short paths found in corresponding graph
                 representations. Our results illustrate the potential
                 of signaling hypergraphs as an improved representation
                 of signaling pathways and motivate the development of
                 novel hypergraph algorithms.",

                 has been obtained by transferring aging-related
                 knowledge from well-studied model species via sequence
                 homology or by studying human gene expression data.
                 Since proteins function by interacting with each other,
                 analyzing protein-protein interaction PPI networks in
                 the context of aging is promising. Unlike existing
                 static network research of aging, since cellular
                 functioning is dynamic, we recently integrated the
                 static human PPI network with aging-related gene
                 expression data to form dynamic, age-specific networks.
                 Then, we predicted as key players in aging those
                 proteins whose network topologies significantly changed
                 with age. Since current networks are noisy , here, we
                 use link prediction to de-noise the human network and
                 predict improved key players in aging from the
                 de-noised data. Indeed, de-noising gives more
                 significant overlap between the predicted data and the
                 ``ground truth'' aging-related data. Yet, we obtain
                 novel predictions, which we validate in the literature.
                 Also, we improve the predictions by an alternative
                 strategy: removing ``redundant'' edges from the
                 age-specific networks and using the resulting
                 age-specific network ``cores'' to study aging. We
                 produce new knowledge from dynamic networks
                 encompassing multiple data types, via network
                 de-noising or core inference, complementing the

                 machine-learning techniques, hidden Markov models and
                 logistic regression, to classify which regions of the
                 genome are transcribed. Given a small user-defined
                 training set, our algorithm is accurate, robust to
                 varying read depth, annotation agnostic, and fast.
                 Analysis of GRO-seq data without a priori need for
                 annotation uncovers surprising new insights into
                 several aspects of the transcription process.",

                 polymorphisms due to individual genome variation. How
                 many of these polymorphisms lead to altered

                 developed a method to address this question. The
                 intersection of the SKEMPI database of affinity
                 constants among interacting proteins and CAPRI 4.0
                 docking benchmark was docked using HADDOCK, leading to
                 a training set of 166 mutant pairs. A random forest
                 classifier based on the differences in resulting
                 docking scores between the 166 mutant pairs and their
                 wild-types was used, to distinguish between variants
                 that have either completely or partially lost binding
                 ability. Fifty percent of non-binders were correctly
                 predicted with a false discovery rate of only 2
                 percent. The model was tested on a set of 15 HIV-1 ---
                 human, as well as seven human- human
                 glioblastoma-related, mutant protein pairs: 50 percent
                 of combined non-binders were correctly predicted with a
                 false discovery rate of 10 percent. The model was also
                 used to identify 10 protein-protein interactions
                 between human proteins and their HIV-1 partners that
                 are likely to be abolished by rare non-synonymous

  abstract =     "Reconstruction of family trees, or pedigree
                 reconstruction, for a group of individuals is a
                 fundamental problem in genetics. The problem is known
                 to be NP-hard even for datasets known to only contain
                 siblings. Some recent methods have been developed to
                 accurately and efficiently reconstruct pedigrees. These
                 methods, however, still consider relatively simple
                 pedigrees, for example, they are not able to handle
                 half-sibling situations where a pair of individuals
                 only share one parent. In this work, we propose an
                 efficient method, IPED2, based on our previous work,
                 which specifically targets reconstruction of
                 complicated pedigrees that include half-siblings. We
                 note that the presence of half-siblings makes the
                 reconstruction problem significantly more challenging
                 which is why previous methods exclude the possibility
                 of half-siblings. We proposed a novel model as well as
                 an efficient graph algorithm and experiments show that
                 our algorithm achieves relatively accurate
                 reconstruction. To our knowledge, this is the first
                 method that is able to handle pedigree reconstruction
                 from genotype data when half-sibling exists in any
                 generation of the pedigree.",

  abstract =     "Transmembrane proteins play important roles in
                 cellular energy production, signal transmission, and
                 metabolism. Many shallow machine learning methods have
                 been applied to transmembrane topology prediction, but
                 the performance was limited by the large size of
                 membrane proteins and the complex biological evolution
                 information behind the sequence. In this paper, we
                 proposed a novel deep approach based on conditional
                 random fields named as dCRF-TM for predicting the
                 topology of transmembrane proteins. Conditional random
                 fields take into account more complicated interrelation
                 between residue labels in full-length sequence than HMM
                 and SVM-based methods. Three widely-used datasets were
                 employed in the benchmark. DCRF-TM had the accuracy 95
                 percent over helix location prediction and the accuracy
                 78 percent over helix number prediction. DCRF-TM
                 demonstrated a more robust performance on large size
                 proteins {$>$350} residues against 11 state-of-the-art
                 predictors. Further dCRF-TM was applied to ab initio
                 modeling three-dimensional structures of
                 seven-transmembrane receptors, also known as G
                 protein-coupled receptors. The predictions on 24 solved
                 G protein-coupled receptors and unsolved vasopressin V2
                 receptor illustrated that dCRF-TM helped
                 abGPCR-I-TASSER to improve TM-score 34.3 percent rather
                 than using the random transmembrane definition. Two out
                 of five predicted models caught the experimental
                 verified disulfide bonds in vasopressin V2 receptor.",

                 understand molecular mechanisms of cancer and find new
                 biomedical targets. To deal with the high-dimensional
                 multidimensional cancer omics data DNA methylation,
                 mRNA expression, etc., which can be used to discover
                 new insight on identifying cancer subtypes, clustering
                 methods are usually used to find an effective
                 low-dimensional subspace of the original data and then
                 cluster cancer samples in the reduced subspace.
                 However, due to data-type diversity and big data
                 volume, few methods can integrate these data and map
                 them into an effective low-dimensional subspace. In
                 this paper, we develop a dimension-reduction and
                 data-integration method for indentifying cancer
                 subtypes, named Scluster. First, Scluster,
                 respectively, projects the different original data into
                 the principal subspaces by an adaptive sparse
                 reduced-rank regression method. Then, a fused
                 patient-by-patient network is obtained for these
                 subgroups through a scaled exponential similarity
                 kernel method. Finally, candidate cancer subtypes are
                 identified using spectral clustering method. We
                 demonstrate the efficiency of our Scluster method using
                 three cancers by jointly analyzing mRNA expression,
                 miRNA expression, and DNA methylation data. The
                 evaluation results and analyses show that Scluster is
                 effective for predicting survival and identifies novel
                 cancer subtypes of large-scale multi-omics data.",

                 classification methods have been employed in such a
                 field. In this research, the features of amino acids

  abstract =     "In this study, in order to take advantage of
                 complementary information from different types of data
                 for better disease status diagnosis, we combined gene
                 expression with DNA methylation data and generated a
                 fused network, based on which the stages of Kidney
                 Renal Cell Carcinoma KIRC can be better identified. It
                 is well recognized that a network is important for
                 investigating the connectivity of disease groups. We
                 exploited the potential of the network's features to
                 identify the KIRC stage. We first constructed a patient
                 network from each type of data. We then built a fused
                 network based on network fusion method. Based on the
                 link weights of patients, we used a generalized linear
                 model to predict the group of KIRC subjects. Finally,
                 the group prediction method was applied to test the
                 power of network-based features. The performance e.g.,
                 the accuracy of identifying cancer stages when using
                 the fused network from two types of data is shown to be
                 superior to that when using two patient networks from
                 only one data type. The work provides a good example
                 for using network based features from multiple data
                 types for a more comprehensive diagnosis.",

                 in various aspects of the structural and functional
                 organization of the cell. Detecting SIPs is one of the
                 most important issues in current molecular biology.
                 Although a large number of SIPs data has been generated
                 by experimental methods, wet laboratory approaches are
                 both time-consuming and costly. In addition, they yield
                 high false negative and positive rates. Thus, there is
                 a great need for in silico methods to predict SIPs
                 accurately and efficiently. In this study, a new
                 sequence-based method is proposed to predict SIPs. The
                 evolutionary information contained in Position-Specific
                 Scoring Matrix PSSM is extracted from of protein with
                 known sequence. Then, features are fed to an ensemble
                 classifier to distinguish the self-interacting and
                 non-self-interacting proteins. When performed on
                 Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Human SIPs data sets, the
                 proposed method can achieve high accuracies of 86.86
                 and 91.30 percent, respectively. Our method also shows
                 a good performance when compared with the SVM
                 classifier and previous methods. Consequently, the
                 proposed method can be considered to be a novel
                 promising tool to predict SIPs.",

                 multi-label by nature, e.g., a gene involved in a
                 variety of functions and a patient with multiple
                 diseases. The majority of existing classification
                 algorithms assumes each sample with only one class

                 remains to be a challenge for biomedical researchers.
                 This study proposes a novel multi-label learning
                 algorithm, hMuLab, by integrating both feature-based
                 and neighbor-based similarity scores. The multiple

                 capable of producing multiple label assignments for a
                 query sample. The comparison results over six
                 commonly-used multi-label performance measurements
                 suggest that hMuLab performs accurately and stably for
                 the biomedical datasets, and may serve as a complement
                 to the existing literature.",

                 Generation Sequencing NGS technologies have unleashed a
                 wealth of genomic information by producing immense
                 amounts of raw data. Before any functional analysis can
                 be applied to this data, read alignment is applied to
                 find the genomic coordinates of the produced sequences.
                 Alignment algorithms have evolved rapidly with the
                 advancement in sequencing technology, striving to
                 achieve biological accuracy at the expense of
                 increasing space and time complexities. Hardware

                 computational bottlenecks created by the alignment
                 process. Although several hardware approaches have

                 reinforcement learning Batch RL and TD$ \lambda $
                 algorithms. Unlike the existing studies inferring a
                 computational model from gene expression data, and
                 obtaining a control policy over the constructed model,
                 our idea is to interpret the time series gene
                 expression data as a sequence of observations that the
                 system produced, and obtain an approximate stochastic
                 policy directly from the gene expression data without
                 estimation of the internal states of the partially
                 observable environment. Thereby, we get rid of the most
                 time consuming phases of the existing studies,
                 inferring a model and running the model for the
                 control. Results show that our method is able to
                 provide control solutions for regulation systems of
                 several thousands of genes only in seconds, whereas
                 existing studies cannot solve control problems of even
                 a few dozens of genes. Results also show that our
                 approximate stochastic policies are almost as good as
                 the policies generated by the existing studies.",

                 biological research, and will soon change medical
                 practice, by quickly providing sequencing data and
                 high-level features of numerous individual genomes in

                 availability of millions of whole genome sequences may
                 soon become the biggest and most important ``big data''
                 problem of mankind. In this exciting framework, we
                 recently proposed a new paradigm to raise the level of

                 Leveraging on that effort, here we motivate and
                 formalize GMQL operations, especially focusing on the
                 most characteristic and domain-specific ones.
                 Furthermore, we address their efficient implementation

                 components have been conjectured to be potential causes
                 of abnormalities in cellular functions. By systematic
                 analysis of high-throughput-omics data, researchers
                 hope to detect potential associations among measured
                 variables for better biomarker identification and
                 phenotype prediction. In this paper, we focus on the
                 methods to measure pairwise interactive effects among
                 continuous random variables, representing molecular
                 expressions, with respect to a given categorical

                 better estimate interactive effects, especially in
                 small sample size scenarios. We first evaluate the
                 performance of the existing and new methods for both
                 small and large sample sizes based on simulated
                 datasets that shows our proposed methods outperform

                 for small sample size scenarios suggested by simulation

                 outcome in two breast cancer studies based on
                 micro-array gene expression datasets. Our results
                 further demonstrate that integrating detected

                 can help in finding more accurate biomarkers for breast
                 cancer metastasis, which are indeed involved in

                 sources, a single source or a single measure do not
                 suffice for an effective disease gene prioritization.
                 So, the integration of multiple data sources or
                 aggregation of multiple measures is the need of the
                 hour. The aggregation operators combine multiple
                 related data values to a single value such that the
                 combined value has the effect of all the individual
                 values. In this paper, an attempt has been made for
                 applying the fuzzy aggregation on the network-based
                 disease gene prioritization and investigate its effect
                 under noise conditions. This study has been conducted
                 for a set of 15 blood disorders by fusing four
                 different network measures, computed from the protein
                 interaction network, using a selected set of

                 method. The impact of noise has also been investigated
                 by adding varying proportions of noise to the seed set.
                 The results reveal that for all the selected blood
                 disorders, the Mean of Maximal operator has relatively

                 for low-energy conformations as it follows the
                 thermodynamics hypothesis that places native
                 conformations at the global minimum of the protein
                 energy surface. However, the native conformation is not
                 necessarily located in the lowest-energy regions owing
                 to the inaccuracies of the energy model. This study
                 presents a differential evolution algorithm using
                 distance profile-based selection strategy to sample
                 conformations with reasonable structure effectively. In
                 the proposed algorithm, besides energy, the
                 residue-residue distance is considered another measure
                 of the conformation. The average distance errors of
                 decoys between the distance of each residue pair and
                 the corresponding distance in the distance profiles are
                 first calculated when the trial conformation yields a
                 larger energy value than that of the target. Then, the
                 distance acceptance probability of the trial
                 conformation is designed based on distance profiles if
                 the trial conformation obtains a lower average distance
                 error compared with that of the target conformation.
                 The trial conformation is accepted to the next
                 generation in accordance with its distance acceptance
                 probability. By using the dual constraints of energy
                 and distance in guiding sampling, the algorithm can
                 sample conformations with lower energies and more
                 reasonable structures. Experimental results of 28
                 benchmark proteins show that the proposed algorithm can
                 effectively predict near-native protein structures.",

                 their applicability in directed networks. However, a
                 large set of interesting biological networks such as
                 metabolic, cell signaling, or transcriptional
                 regulatory networks are intrinsically directional, and
                 using metrics that ignore edge direction may gravely
                 hinder information extraction. Our main purpose in this
                 work is to extend the applicability of graphlets to
                 directed networks by considering their edge direction,
                 thus providing a powerful basis for the analysis of
                 directed biological networks. We tested our approach on
                 two network sets, one composed of synthetic graphs and
                 another of real directed biological networks, and
                 verified that they were more accurately grouped using
                 directed graphlets than undirected graphlets. It is
                 also evident that directed graphlets offer
                 substantially more topological information than simple
                 graph metrics such as degree distribution or
                 reciprocity. However, enumerating graphlets in large
                 networks is a computationally demanding task. Our
                 implementation addresses this concern by using a
                 state-of-the-art data structure, the g-trie, which is
                 able to greatly reduce the necessary computation. We
                 compared our tool to other state-of-the art methods and
                 verified that it is the fastest general tool for
                 graphlet counting.",

  abstract =     "The computational prediction of novel microRNA within
                 a full genome involves identifying sequences having the
                 highest chance of being a miRNA precursor pre-miRNA.
                 These sequences are usually named candidates to miRNA.
                 The well-known pre-miRNAs are usually only a few in
                 comparison to the hundreds of thousands of potential
                 candidates to miRNA that have to be analyzed, which
                 makes this task a high class-imbalance classification
                 problem. The classical way of approaching it has been
                 training a binary classifier in a supervised manner,
                 using well-known pre-miRNAs as positive class and
                 artificially defining the negative class. However,
                 although the selection of positive labeled examples is
                 straightforward, it is very difficult to build a set of
                 negative examples in order to obtain a good set of
                 training samples for a supervised method. In this work,
                 we propose a novel and effective way of approaching
                 this problem using machine learning, without the
                 definition of negative examples. The proposal is based
                 on clustering unlabeled sequences of a genome together
                 with well-known miRNA precursors for the organism under
                 study, which allows for the quick identification of the
                 best candidates to miRNA as those sequences clustered
                 with known precursors. Furthermore, we propose a deep
                 model to overcome the problem of having very few
                 positive class labels. They are always maintained in
                 the deep levels as positive class while less likely
                 pre-miRNA sequences are filtered level after level. Our
                 approach has been compared with other methods for
                 pre-miRNAs prediction in several species, showing
                 effective predictivity of novel miRNAs. Additionally,
                 we will show that our approach has a lower training
                 time and allows for a better graphical navegability and
                 interpretation of the results. A web-demo interface to

                 number of consequent text mining tasks in the
                 biochemical domain. Increasing the performance of such
                 recognition systems is of high importance and always
                 poses a challenge. In this study, a new community based
                 decision making system is proposed which aims at
                 increasing the efficiency of NER systems in the
                 chemical/drug name context. Particle Swarm Optimization
                 PSO algorithm is chosen as the expert selection
                 strategy along with the Bayesian combination method to
                 merge the outputs of the selected classifiers as well
                 as evaluate the fitness of the selected candidates. The
                 proposed system performs in two steps. The first step
                 focuses on creating various numbers of baseline
                 classifiers for NER with different features sets using
                 the Conditional Random Fields CRFs. The second step
                 involves the selection and efficient combination of the
                 classifiers using PSO and Bayesisan combination. Two
                 comprehensive corpora from BioCreative events, namely
                 ChemDNER and CEMP, are used for the experiments
                 conducted. Results show that the ensemble of
                 classifiers selected by means of the proposed approach
                 perform better than the single best classifier as well
                 as ensembles formed using other popular
                 selection/combination strategies for both corpora.
                 Furthermore, the proposed method outperforms the best
                 performing system at the Biocreative IV ChemDNER track
                 by achieving an F-score of 87.95 percent.",

  abstract =     "Human diseases involve a sequence of complex
                 interactions between multiple biological processes. In
                 particular, multiple genomic data such as Single
                 Nucleotide Polymorphism SNP, Copy Number Variation CNV,
                 DNA Methylation DM, and their interactions
                 simultaneously play an important role in human
                 diseases. However, despite the widely known complex
                 multi-layer biological processes and increased
                 availability of the heterogeneous genomic data, most
                 research has considered only a single type of genomic
                 data. Furthermore, recent integrative genomic studies
                 for the multiple genomic data have also been facing
                 difficulties due to the high-dimensionality and
                 complexity, especially when considering their intra-
                 and inter-block interactions. In this paper, we

                 to predict quantitative traits e.g., gene expression,
                 survival time from the multi-block genomic data. The
                 performance was assessed by simulation experiments that

                 method to the human brain data of psychiatric
                 disorders. The experimental results were analyzed by
                 maximum edge biclique and biclustering, and biological

                 precipitously, development of efficient bioinformatic
                 methods to analyze genome structure and evolution have
                 become ever more urgent. For example, most published
                 phylogenomic studies involve either massive
                 concatenation of sequences, or informal comparisons of
                 phylogenies inferred on a small subset of orthologous
                 genes, neither of which provides a comprehensive
                 overview of evolution or systematic identification of
                 genes with unusual and interesting evolution e.g.,
                 horizontal gene transfers, gene duplication, and
                 subsequent neofunctionalization. We are interested in
                 identifying such ``outlying'' gene trees from the set
                 of gene trees and estimating the distribution of trees
                 over the ``tree space''. This paper describes an
                 improvement to the kdetrees algorithm, an adaptation of
                 classical kernel density estimation to the metric space
                 of phylogenetic trees Billera-Holmes-Vogtman treespace,
                 whereby the kernel normalizing constants, are estimated
                 through the use of the novel holonomic gradient
                 methods. As in the original kdetrees paper, we have
                 applied kdetrees to a set of Apicomplexa genes. The
                 analysis identified several unreliable sequence
                 alignments that had escaped previous detection, as well
                 as a gene independently reported as a possible case of
                 horizontal gene transfer. The updated version of the
                 kdetrees software package is available both from CRAN
                 the official R package system, as well as from the
                 official development repository on Github.

                 provides a valuable tool to gain insight into the
                 biology and function of microglial cells in health and
                 disease. Common image segmentation methods are not

                 images and analyzing their morphology. The framework

  abstract =     "Next generation sequencing technologies enable
                 efficient and cost-effective genome sequencing.
                 However, sequencing errors increase the complexity of
                 the de novo assembly process, and reduce the quality of
                 the assembled sequences. Many error correction
                 techniques utilizing substring frequencies have been
                 developed to mitigate this effect. In this paper, we
                 present a novel and effective method called Pluribus,
                 for correcting sequencing errors using a generalized
                 suffix trie. Pluribus utilizes multiple manifestations
                 of an error in the trie to accurately identify errors
                 and suggest corrections. We show that Pluribus produces
                 the least number of false positives across a diverse
                 set of real sequencing datasets when compared to other
                 methods. Furthermore, Pluribus can be used in
                 conjunction with other contemporary error correction
                 methods to achieve higher levels of accuracy than
                 either tool alone. These increases in error correction
                 accuracy are also realized in the quality of the
                 contigs that are generated during assembly. We explore,
                 in-depth, the behavior of Pluribus , to explain the
                 observed improvement in accuracy and assembly
                 performance. Pluribus is freely available at

  abstract =     "Protein-DNA interactions are ubiquitous in a wide
                 variety of biological processes. Correctly locating
                 DNA-binding residues solely from protein sequences is
                 an important but challenging task for protein function
                 annotations and drug discovery, especially in the
                 post-genomic era where large volumes of protein
                 sequences have quickly accumulated. In this study, we
                 report a new predictor, named TargetDNA, for targeting
                 protein-DNA binding residues from primary sequences.
                 TargetDNA uses a protein's evolutionary information and
                 its predicted solvent accessibility as two base
                 features and employs a centered linear kernel alignment
                 algorithm to learn the weights for weightedly combining
                 the two features. Based on the weightedly combined
                 feature, multiple initial predictors with SVM as
                 classifiers are trained by applying a random
                 under-sampling technique to the original dataset, the
                 purpose of which is to cope with the severe imbalance
                 phenomenon that exists between the number of
                 DNA-binding and non-binding residues. The final
                 ensembled predictor is obtained by boosting the
                 multiple initially trained predictors. Experimental
                 simulation results demonstrate that the proposed
                 TargetDNA achieves a high prediction performance and
                 outperforms many existing sequence-based protein-DNA
                 binding residue predictors. The TargetDNA web server

  abstract =     "Since proteins are digested into a mixture of peptides
                 in the preprocessing step of tandem mass spectrometry
                 MS, it is difficult to determine which specific protein
                 a shared peptide belongs to. In recent studies, besides
                 tandem MS data and peptide identification information,
                 some other information is exploited to infer proteins.
                 Different from the methods which first use only tandem
                 MS data to infer proteins and then use network
                 information to refine them, this study proposes a
                 protein inference method named TMSIN, which uses
                 interactome networks directly. As two interacting
                 proteins should co-exist, it is reasonable to assume
                 that if one of the interacting proteins is confidently
                 inferred in a sample, its interacting partners should
                 have a high probability in the same sample, too.
                 Therefore, we can use the neighborhood information of a
                 protein in an interactome network to adjust the
                 probability that the shared peptide belongs to the
                 protein. In TMSIN, a multi-weighted graph is
                 constructed by incorporating the bipartite graph with
                 interactome network information, where the bipartite
                 graph is built with the peptide identification
                 information. Based on multi-weighted graphs, TMSIN
                 adopts an iterative workflow to infer proteins. At each
                 iterative step, the probability that a shared peptide
                 belongs to a specific protein is calculated by using
                 the Bayes' law based on the neighbor protein support
                 scores of each protein which are mapped by the shared
                 peptides. We carried out experiments on yeast data and
                 human data to evaluate the performance of TMSIN in
                 terms of ROC, q-value, and accuracy. The experimental
                 results show that AUC scores yielded by TMSIN are 0.742
                 and 0.874 in yeast dataset and human dataset,
                 respectively, and TMSIN yields the maximum number of
                 true positives when q-value less than or equal to 0.05.
                 The overlap analysis shows that TMSIN is an effective
                 complementary approach for protein inference.",

                 important roles in the design of genetically engineered
                 strains and helped biologists to decipher metabolism.
                 However, due to the complex gene-reaction relationships
                 that exist in model systems, most algorithms have
                 limited capabilities with respect to directly
                 predicting accurate genetic design for metabolic
                 engineering. In particular, methods that predict
                 reaction knockout strategies leading to overproduction
                 are often impractical in terms of gene manipulations.
                 Recently, we proposed a method named logical
                 transformation of model LTM to simplify the
                 gene-reaction associations by introducing intermediate
                 pseudo reactions, which makes it possible to generate
                 genetic design. Here, we propose an alternative method
                 to relieve researchers from deciphering complex
                 gene-reactions by adding pseudo gene controlling
                 reactions. In comparison to LTM, this new method
                 introduces fewer pseudo reactions and generates a much
                 smaller model system named as gModel. We showed that
                 gModel allows two seldom reported applications:
                 identification of minimal genomes and design of minimal
                 cell factories within a modified OptKnock framework. In
                 addition, gModel could be used to integrate expression
                 data directly and improve the performance of the E-Fmin
                 method for predicting fluxes. In conclusion, the model
                 transformation procedure will facilitate genetic
                 research based on GEMs, extending their applications.",

                 presents a new gene selection algorithm, termed as

                 integrates the information obtained from interaction

                 both significance and functional similarity of the

  abstract =     "Background: Large amounts of metabolomics data have
                 been accumulated in recent years and await analysis.
                 Previously, we had developed a systems biology approach
                 to infer biochemical mechanisms underlying metabolic
                 alterations observed in cancers and other diseases. The
                 method utilized the typical Euclidean distance for
                 comparing metabolic profiles. Here, we ask whether any
                 of the numerous alternative metrics might serve this
                 purpose better. Methods and Findings: We used enzymatic
                 alterations in purine metabolism that were measured in
                 human renal cell carcinoma to test various metrics with
                 the goal of identifying the best metrics for discerning
                 metabolic profiles of healthy and diseased individuals.
                 The results showed that several metrics have similarly
                 good performance, but that some are unsuited for
                 comparisons of metabolic profiles. Furthermore, the
                 results suggest that relative changes in metabolite
                 levels, which reduce bias toward large metabolite
                 concentrations, are better suited for comparisons of
                 metabolic profiles than absolute changes. Finally, we
                 demonstrate that a sequential search for enzymatic
                 alterations, ranked by importance, is not always valid.
                 Conclusions: We identified metrics that are appropriate
                 for comparisons of metabolic profiles. In addition, we
                 constructed strategic guidelines for the algorithmic
                 identification of biochemical mechanisms from
                 metabolomics data.",

  abstract =     "Network alignment has extensive applications in
                 comparative interactomics. Traditional approaches aim
                 to simultaneously maximize the number of conserved
                 edges and the underlying similarity of aligned
                 entities. We propose a novel formulation of the network
                 alignment problem that extends topological similarity
                 to higher-order structures and provides a new objective
                 function that maximizes the number of aligned
                 substructures. This objective function corresponds to
                 an integer programming problem, which is NP-hard.
                 Consequently, we identify a closely related surrogate
                 function whose maximization results in a tensor
                 eigenvector problem. Based on this formulation, we
                 present an algorithm called Triangular AlignMEnt TAME,
                 which attempts to maximize the number of aligned
                 triangles across networks. Using a case study on the
                 NAPAbench dataset, we show that triangular alignment is
                 capable of producing mappings with high node
                 correctness. We further evaluate our method by aligning
                 yeast and human interactomes. Our results indicate that
                 TAME outperforms the state-of-art alignment methods in
                 terms of conserved triangles. In addition, we show that

  abstract =     "Metagenomic contigs binning is a necessary step of
                 metagenome analysis. After assembly, the number of
                 contigs belonging to different genomes is usually
                 unequal. So a metagenomic contigs dataset is a kind of
                 imbalanced dataset and traditional fuzzy c-means method
                 FCM fails to handle it very well. In this paper, we
                 will introduce an improved version of fuzzy c-means
                 method IFCM into metagenomic contigs binning. First,
                 tetranucleotide frequencies are calculated for every
                 contig. Second, the number of bins is roughly estimated
                 by the distribution of genome lengths of a complete set
                 of non-draft sequenced microbial genomes from NCBI.
                 Then, IFCM is used to cluster DNA contigs with the
                 estimated result. Finally, a clustering validity
                 function is utilized to determine the binning result.
                 We tested this method on a synthetic and two real
                 datasets and experimental results have showed the

  abstract =     "The discovery of human disease-related miRNA is a
                 challenging problem for complex disease biology
                 research. For existing computational methods, it is
                 difficult to achieve excellent performance with sparse
                 known miRNA-disease association verified by biological
                 experiment. Here, we develop CPTL, a Collective
                 Prediction based on Transduction Learning, to
                 systematically prioritize miRNAs related to disease. By
                 combining disease similarity, miRNA similarity with
                 known miRNA-disease association, we construct a
                 miRNA-disease network for predicting miRNA-disease
                 association. Then, CPTL calculates relevance score and
                 updates the network structure iteratively, until a
                 convergence criterion is reached. The relevance score
                 of node including miRNA and disease is calculated by
                 the use of transduction learning based on its
                 neighbors. The network structure is updated using
                 relevance score, which increases the weight of
                 important links. To show the effectiveness of our
                 method, we compared CPTL with existing methods based on
                 HMDD datasets. Experimental results indicate that CPTL
                 outperforms existing approaches in terms of AUC,
                 precision, recall, and F1-score. Moreover, experiments
                 performed with different number of iterations verify
                 that CPTL has good convergence. Besides, it is analyzed
                 that the varying of weighted parameters affect
                 predicted results. Case study on breast cancer has
                 further confirmed the identification ability of CPTL.",

  abstract =     "Remote homology detection represents a central problem
                 in bioinformatics, where the challenge is to detect
                 functionally related proteins when their sequence
                 similarity is low. Recent solutions employ
                 representations derived from the sequence profile,
                 obtained by replacing each amino acid of the sequence
                 by the corresponding most probable amino acid in the
                 profile. However, the information contained in the
                 profile could be exploited more deeply, provided that
                 there is a representation able to capture and properly
                 model such crucial evolutionary information. In this
                 paper, we propose a novel profile-based representation
                 for sequences, called soft Ngram. This representation,
                 which extends the traditional Ngram scheme obtained by
                 grouping N consecutive amino acids, permits considering
                 all of the evolutionary information in the profile:
                 this is achieved by extracting Ngrams from the whole
                 profile, equipping them with a weight directly computed
                 from the corresponding evolutionary frequencies. We
                 illustrate two different approaches to model the
                 proposed representation and to derive a feature vector,
                 which can be effectively used for classification using
                 a support vector machine SVM. A thorough evaluation on
                 three benchmarks demonstrates that the new approach
                 outperforms other Ngram-based methods, and shows very
                 promising results also in comparison with a broader
                 spectrum of techniques.",

  abstract =     "Smoking is the major cause of lung cancer and the
                 leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. The
                 most current view about lung cancer is no longer
                 limited to individual genes being mutated by any
                 carcinogenic insults from smoking. Instead,
                 tumorigenesis is a phenotype conferred by many
                 systematic and global alterations, leading to extensive
                 heterogeneity and variation for both the genotypes and
                 phenotypes of individual cancer cells. Thus,
                 strategically it is foremost important to develop a
                 methodology to capture any consistent and global
                 alterations presumably shared by most of the cancerous
                 cells for a given population. This is particularly true
                 that almost all of the data collected from solid
                 cancers including lung cancers are usually distant
                 apart over a large span of temporal or even spatial
                 contexts. Here, we report a multiple non-Gaussian
                 graphical model to reconstruct the gene interaction
                 network using two previously published gene expression
                 datasets. Our graphical model aims to selectively
                 detect gross structural changes at the level of gene
                 interaction networks. Our methodology is extensively
                 validated, demonstrating good robustness, as well as
                 the selectivity and specificity expected based on our
                 biological insights. In summary, gene regulatory
                 networks are still relatively stable during presumably
                 the early stage of neoplastic transformation. But
                 drastic structural differences can be found between
                 lung cancer and its normal control, including the gain
                 of functional modules for cellular proliferations such
                 as EGFR and PDGFRA, as well as the lost of the
                 important IL6 module, supporting their roles as
                 potential drug targets. Interestingly, our method can
                 also detect early modular changes, with the ALDH3A1 and
                 its associated interactions being strongly implicated
                 as a potential early marker, whose activations appear
                 to alter LCN2 module as well as its interactions with
                 the important TP53-MDM2 circuitry. Our strategy using
                 the graphical model to reconstruct gene interaction
                 work with biologically-inspired constraints exemplifies
                 the importance and beauty of biology in developing any
                 bio-computational approach.",

                 and disease pathways. The experimental methods known to
                 predict PPIs require tremendous efforts and the results
                 are often hindered by the presence of a large number of

                 new Genetic Programming GP based Symbolic Regression SR
                 approach for predicting PPIs related to a disease. In
                 this case study, a dataset consisting of 135 PPI
                 complexes related to cancer was used to construct a
                 generic PPI predicting model with good PPI prediction
                 accuracy and generalization ability. A high correlation

                 processing of Electroencephalography EEG data to
                 identify attention during the learning process. The
                 identification of affect using our procedures is
                 integrated into a simulated distance learning system
                 that provides feedback to the user with respect to
                 attention and concentration. The authors propose a
                 classification procedure that combines
                 correlation-based feature selection CFS and a
                 k-nearest-neighbor KNN data mining algorithm. To
                 evaluate the CFS+KNN algorithm, it was test against
                 CFS+C4.5 algorithm and other classification algorithms.
                 The classification performance was measured 10 times
                 with different 3-fold cross validation data. The data
                 was derived from 10 subjects while they were attempting
                 to learn material in a simulated distance learning
                 environment. A self-assessment model of self-report was
                 used with a single valence to evaluate attention on 3
                 levels high, neutral, low. It was found that CFS+KNN
                 had a much better performance, giving the highest
                 correct classification rate CCR of $ 80.84 \pm 3.0 $ \%

  abstract =     "Recent advances in high-throughput technologies have
                 given rise to collecting large amounts of
                 multidimensional heterogeneous data that provide
                 diverse information on the same biological samples.
                 Integrative analysis of such multisource datasets may
                 reveal new biological insights into complex biological
                 mechanisms and therefore remains an important research
                 field in systems biology. Most of the modern
                 integrative clustering approaches rely on independent
                 analysis of each dataset and consensus clustering,
                 probabilistic or statistical modeling, while flexible
                 distance-based integrative clustering techniques are
                 sparsely covered. We propose two distance-based
                 integrative clustering frameworks based on bi-level and
                 bi-objective extensions of the p-median problem. A
                 hybrid branch-and-cut method is developed to find
                 global optimal solutions to the bi-level p-median
                 model. As to the bi-objective problem, an $ \varepsilon
                 $-constraint algorithm is proposed to generate an
                 approximation to the Pareto optimal set. Every solution
                 found by any of the frameworks corresponds to an
                 integrative clustering. We present an application of
                 our approaches to integrative analysis of NCI-60 human
                 tumor cell lines characterized by gene expression and
                 drug activity profiles. We demonstrate that the

                 outperform some state-of-the-art and traditional

                 HIV-1 completely was found as the conditional absorbing
                 time in a finite state space continuous-time Markov
                 chain model. The Markov chain has two absorbing states:
                 one corresponds to HIV eradication and another
                 representing the possible disaster. This method allowed
                 us to calculate the expected eradication time by
                 solving systems of linear equations. To overcome the
                 challenge of huge dimension of the problem, we applied
                 a novel stop and resume technique. This technique also
                 helped to stop the numerical computation whenever we
                 wanted and continue later from that point until the
                 final result was obtained. Our numerical study showed
                 the dependence of the expected eradication time of HIV
                 on the half-life of the latently infected cells and
                 there agreed with the previous studies. The study

                 varied from 4.6 to 60 months, it took a mean 4.97 to
                 31.04 years with a corresponding standard deviation of

  abstract =     "Gene-expression-based phenotype classification is used
                 for disease diagnosis and prognosis relating to
                 treatment strategies. The present paper considers
                 classification based on sequential measurements of
                 multiple genes using gene regulatory network GRN
                 modeling. There are two networks, original and mutated,
                 and observations consist of trajectories of network
                 states. The problem is to classify an observation
                 trajectory as coming from either the original or
                 mutated network. GRNs are modeled via probabilistic
                 Boolean networks, which incorporate stochasticity at
                 both the gene and network levels. Mutation affects the
                 regulatory logic. Classification is based upon
                 observing a trajectory of states of some given length.
                 We characterize the Bayes classifier and find the Bayes
                 error for a general PBN and the special case of a
                 single Boolean network affected by random perturbations
                 BNp. The Bayes error is related to network sensitivity,
                 meaning the extent of alteration in the steady-state
                 distribution of the original network owing to mutation.
                 Using standard methods to calculate steady-state
                 distributions is cumbersome and sometimes impossible,
                 so we provide an efficient algorithm and
                 approximations. Extensive simulations are performed to
                 study the effects of various factors, including
                 approximation accuracy. We apply the classification
                 procedure to a p53 BNp and a mammalian cell cycle

                 protein-protein interaction PPI networks is of great
                 significance for understanding cellular processes. With
                 the increasing availability of large-scale PPI data,
                 numerous centrality measures based on network topology
                 have been proposed to detect essential proteins from
                 PPI networks. However, most of the current approaches
                 focus mainly on the topological structure of PPI
                 networks, and largely ignore the gene ontology
                 annotation information. In this paper, we propose a
                 novel centrality measure, called TEO, for identifying
                 essential proteins by combining network topology, gene
                 expression profiles, and GO information. To evaluate
                 the performance of the TEO method, we compare it with
                 five other methods degree, betweenness, NC, Pec, and
                 CowEWC in detecting essential proteins from two
                 different yeast PPI datasets. The simulation results

                 disease progression and drug development. In this
                 study, a novel predictor named HEMEsPred was proposed
                 for predicting HEMEs. First, several sequence- and

                 composition, motifs, surface preferences, and secondary
                 structure, were collected to construct feature
                 matrices. Second, a novel fast-adaptive ensemble
                 learning scheme was designed to overcome the serious
                 class-imbalance problem as well as to enhance the

                 functions of an unannotated protein. The proteins and
                 amino acid residues mentioned in biomedical texts
                 associated with an unannotated protein $p$ can be
                 considered as characteristics terms for $p$, which are
                 highly predictive of the potential functions of $p$.
                 Similarly, proteins and amino acid residues mentioned
                 in biomedical texts associated with proteins annotated
                 with a functional category $f$ can be considered as
                 characteristics terms of $f$. We introduce in this
                 paper an information extraction system called IFP_IFC
                 that predicts the functions of an unannotated protein
                 $p$ by representing $p$ and each functional category
                 $f$ by a vector of weights. Each weight reflects the
                 degree of association between a characteristic term and
                 $p$ or a characteristic term and $f$. First, IFP_IFC

                 different functional categories, and its edges the
                 interrelationships between the nodes. Then, it
                 determines the functions of $p$ by employing random
                 walks with restarts on the mentioned network. The
                 walker is the vector of $p$ . Finally, $p$ is assigned
                 to the functional categories of the nodes in the
                 network that are visited most by the walker. We
                 evaluated the quality of IFP_IFC by comparing it
                 experimentally with two other systems. Results showed

  abstract =     "Characterizing genes with semantic information is an
                 important process regarding the description of gene
                 products. In spite that complete genomes of many
                 organisms have been already sequenced, the biological
                 functions of all of their genes are still unknown.
                 Since experimentally studying the functions of those
                 genes, one by one, would be unfeasible, new
                 computational methods for gene functions inference are
                 needed. We present here a novel computational approach
                 for inferring biological function for a set of genes
                 with previously unknown function, given a set of genes
                 with well-known information. This approach is based on
                 the premise that genes with similar behaviour should be
                 grouped together. This is known as the
                 guilt-by-association principle. Thus, it is possible to
                 take advantage of clustering techniques to obtain
                 groups of unknown genes that are co-clustered with
                 genes that have well-known semantic information GO
                 annotations. Meaningful knowledge to infer unknown
                 semantic information can therefore be provided by these
                 well-known genes. We provide a method to explore the
                 potential function of new genes according to those
                 currently annotated. The results obtained indicate that
                 the proposed approach could be a useful and effective
                 tool when used by biologists to guide the inference of
                 biological functions for recently discovered genes. Our
                 work sets an important landmark in the field of
                 identifying unknown gene functions through clustering,
                 using an external source of biological input. A simple
                 web interface to this proposal can be found at

                 identification of candidate genes responsible for
                 phenotypes of interest, such as cancer, is a major
                 challenge in the field of bioinformatics. These lists
                 of genes are often called genomic signatures and their
                 linkage to phenotype associations may form a
                 significant step in discovering the causation between
                 genotypes and phenotypes. Traditional methods that
                 produce genomic signatures from DNA Microarray data
                 tend to extract significantly different lists under
                 relatively small variations of the training data. That
                 instability hinders the validity of research findings
                 and raises skepticism about the reliability of such
                 methods. In this study, a complete framework for the
                 extraction of stable and reliable lists of candidate
                 genes is presented. The proposed methodology enforces
                 stability of results at the validation step and as a
                 result, it is independent of the feature selection and
                 classification methods used. Furthermore, two different
                 statistical tests are performed in order to assess the
                 statistical significance of the observed results.
                 Moreover, the consistency of the signatures extracted
                 by independent executions of the proposed method is
                 also evaluated. The results of this study highlight the

                 beyond their prediction capabilities.",

                 evolutionary events such as hybridization and
                 horizontal gene transfer. In some cases, such histories

  abstract =     "In systems biology, network models are often used to
                 study interactions among cellular components, a salient
                 aim being to develop drugs and therapeutic mechanisms
                 to change the dynamical behavior of the network to
                 avoid undesirable phenotypes. Owing to limited
                 knowledge, model uncertainty is commonplace and network
                 dynamics can be updated in different ways, thereby
                 giving multiple dynamic trajectories, that is, dynamics
                 uncertainty. In this manuscript, we propose an
                 experimental design method that can effectively reduce
                 the dynamics uncertainty and improve performance in an
                 interaction-based network. Both dynamics uncertainty
                 and experimental error are quantified with respect to
                 the modeling objective, herein, therapeutic
                 intervention. The aim of experimental design is to
                 select among a set of candidate experiments the
                 experiment whose outcome, when applied to the network
                 model, maximally reduces the dynamics uncertainty
                 pertinent to the intervention objective.",

                 Ras-MAPK pathway is implicated in the development and
                 progression of cancer and is a major focus of targeted
                 combination therapies. Physiochemical models have been
                 used for identifying and testing the signal-inhibiting
                 potential of targeted therapies; however, their
                 application to larger multi-pathway networks is limited
                 by the availability of experimentally-determined rate
                 and concentration parameters. An alternate strategy for
                 identifying and evaluating drug-targetable nodes is
                 proposed. A physiochemical model of EGFR-Ras-MAPK
                 signaling is implemented and calibrated to experimental
                 data. Essential topological features of the model are
                 converted into a Petri net and nodes that behave as
                 siphons-a structural property of Petri nets-are
                 identified. Siphons represent potential drug-targets
                 since they are unrecoverable if their values fall below
                 a threshold. Centrality measures are then used to
                 prioritize siphons identified as candidate
                 drug-targets. Single and multiple drug-target
                 combinations are identified which correspond to
                 clinically relevant drug targets and exhibit inhibition
                 synergy in physiochemical simulations of EGF-induced
                 EGFR-Ras-MAPK signaling. Taken together, these studies
                 suggest that siphons and centrality analyses are a
                 promising computational strategy to identify and rank
                 drug-targetable nodes in larger networks as they do not
                 require knowledge of the dynamics of the system, but
                 rely solely on topology.",

                 hydrodynamic interactions through the effective
                 macroscopic viscosity. It follows from the general
                 hydrodynamics that the effective viscosity of
                 non-dilute random suspensions depends on the shape of
                 particles and of their spacial probabilistic
                 distribution. Therefore, a comparative analysis of
                 disordered and collectively interacting particles of
                 the bacteria shape can be done in terms of the
                 probabilistic geometric parameters which determine the
                 effective viscosity. In this paper, we develop a
                 quantitative criterion to detect the collective
                 behavior of bacteria. This criterion is based on the
                 basic statistic moments $e$-sums or generalized
                 Eisenstein-Rayleigh sums which characterize the
                 high-order correlation functions. The locations and the
                 shape of bacteria are modeled by stadiums randomly
                 embedded in medium without overlapping. These shape
                 models can be considered as improvement of the previous
                 segment model. We calculate the $e$-sums of the
                 simulated disordered sets and of the observed
                 experimental locations of bacteria subtilis. The
                 obtained results show a difference between these two

                 microalgae. The goal is to obtain representative algae
                 shapes to extract morphological features to be employed
                 in a posterior step of taxonomical classification of
                 the species. The proposed methodology relies on the
                 seeded region growing principle and on a fine-tuned
                 filtering preprocessing stage to smooth the input
                 image. A contrast enhancement process then takes place
                 to highlight algae regions on a binary pre-segmentation
                 image. This binary image is also employed to determine
                 where to place the seed points and to estimate the
                 statistical probability distributions that characterize
                 the target regions, i.e., the algae areas and the

                 structures is an important task in structural biology.
                 A conventional method to compute protein structure
                 dissimilarity requires structural alignment of the
                 proteins. However, defining one best alignment is
                 difficult, especially when the structures are very
                 different. In this paper, we propose a new similarity
                 measure for protein structure comparisons using a set
                 of multi-view 2D images of 3D protein structures. In
                 this approach, each protein structure is represented by
                 a subspace from the image set. The similarity between
                 two protein structures is then characterized by the
                 canonical angles between the two subspaces. The primary
                 advantage of our method is that precise alignment is
                 not needed. We employed Grassmann Discriminant Analysis
                 GDA as the subspace-based learning in the
                 classification framework. We applied our method for the
                 classification problem of seven SCOP structural classes
                 of protein 3D structures. The proposed method
                 outperformed the k-nearest neighbor method k-NN based
                 on conventional alignment-based methods CE, FATCAT, and
                 TM-align. Our method was also applied to the
                 classification of SCOP folds of membrane proteins,
                 where the proposed method could recognize the fold
                 HEM-binding four-helical bundle f.21 much better than

  abstract =     "Interleukin-8 IL-8, CXCL8 is a neutrophil chemotactic
                 factor belonging to the family of chemokines. IL-8 was
                 shown to resist pepsin cleavage displaying its high
                 resistance to this protease. However, the molecular
                 mechanisms underlying this resistance are not fully
                 understood. Using our in-house database containing the
                 data on three-dimensional arrangements of secondary
                 structure elements from the whole Protein Data Bank, we
                 found a striking structural similarity between IL-8 and
                 pepsin inhibitor-3. Such similarity could play a key
                 role in understanding IL-8 resistance to the protease
                 pepsin. To support this hypothesis, we applied pepsin
                 assays confirming that intact IL-8 is not degraded by
                 pepsin in comparison to IL-8 in a denaturated state.
                 Applying 1H-15N Heteronuclear Single Quantum Coherence
                 NMR measurements, we determined the putative regions at
                 IL-8 that are potentially responsible for interactions
                 with the pepsin. The results obtained in this work
                 contribute to the understanding of the resistance of
                 IL-8 to pepsin proteolysis in terms of its structural
                 properties.",

  abstract =     "MicroRNAs miRNAs play an essential role in many
                 biological processes by regulating the target genes,
                 especially in the initiation and development of
                 cancers. Therefore, the identification of the
                 miRNA-mRNA regulatory modules is important for
                 understanding the regulatory mechanisms. Most
                 computational methods only used statistical
                 correlations in predicting miRNA-mRNA modules, and
                 neglected the fact there are causal relationships
                 between miRNAs and their target genes. In this paper,
                 we propose a novel approach called CALM the causal
                 regulatory modules to identify the miRNA-mRNA
                 regulatory modules through integrating the causal
                 interactions and statistical correlations between the
                 miRNAs and their target genes. Our algorithm largely
                 consists of three steps: it first forms the causal
                 regulatory relationships of miRNAs and genes from gene
                 expression profiles and detects the miRNA clusters
                 according to the GO function information of their
                 target genes, then expands each miRNA cluster by greedy
                 adding discarding the target genes to maximize the
                 modularity score. To show the performance of our
                 method, we apply CALM on four datasets including EMT,
                 breast, ovarian, and thyroid cancer and validate our
                 results. The experiment results show that our method
                 can not only outperform the compared method, but also
                 achieve ideal overall performance in terms of the
                 functional enrichment.",

  abstract =     "Genome-wide association study GWAS has been widely
                 witnessed as a powerful tool for revealing suspicious
                 loci from various diseases. However, real world GWAS
                 tasks always suffer from the data imbalance problem of
                 sufficient control samples and limited case samples.
                 This imbalance issue can cause serious biases to the
                 result and thus leads to losses of significance for
                 true causal markers. To tackle this problem, we
                 proposed a computational framework to perform
                 association correction for imbalanced data ACID that
                 could potentially improve the performance of GWAS under
                 the imbalance condition. ACID is inspired by the
                 imbalance learning theory but is particularly modified
                 to address the task of association discovery from
                 sequential genomic data. Simulation studies demonstrate
                 ACID can dramatically improve the power of traditional
                 GWAS method on the dataset with severe imbalances. We
                 further applied ACID to two imbalanced datasets gastric
                 cancer and bladder cancer to conduct genome wide
                 association analysis. Experimental results indicate
                 that our method has better abilities in identifying
                 suspicious loci than the regression approach and shows

                 genetic regulatory networks GRNs contain time delay. If

  abstract =     "Network Alignment over graph-structured data has
                 received considerable attention in many recent
                 applications. Global network alignment tries to
                 uniquely find the best mapping for a node in one
                 network to only one node in another network. The
                 mapping is performed according to some matching
                 criteria that depend on the nature of data. In
                 molecular biology, functional orthologs, protein
                 complexes, and evolutionary conserved pathways are some
                 examples of information uncovered by global network
                 alignment. Current techniques for global network
                 alignment suffer from several drawbacks, e.g., poor
                 performance and high memory requirements. We address
                 these problems by proposing IBNAL, Indexes-Based
                 Network ALigner, for better alignment quality and
                 faster results. To accelerate the alignment step, IBNAL
                 makes use of a novel clique-based index and is able to
                 align large networks in seconds. IBNAL produces a
                 higher topological quality alignment and comparable
                 biological match in alignment relative to other
                 state-of-the-art aligners even though topological fit
                 is primarily used to match nodes. IBNAL's results
                 confirm and give another evidence that homology
                 information is more likely to be encoded in network
                 topology than sequence information.",

                 naturally formalized as tanglegrams, which have
                 previously been an object of study in coevolutionary

                 planar drawings of tanglegrams, they have not been

                 In this paper, we describe how many discrete

                 events that affect genomes during the evolutionary
                 process. Therefore, these mutations differ from
                 punctual mutations. They can move genes from one place
                 to the other, change the orientation of some genes, or
                 even change the number of chromosomes. In this work, we

  abstract =     "The endoplasmic reticulum ER is an intricate network
                 that pervades the entire cortex of plant cells and its
                 geometric shape undergoes drastic changes. This paper
                 proposes a mathematical model to reconstruct geometric
                 network dynamics by combining the node movements within
                 the network and topological changes engendered by these
                 nodes. The network topology in the model is determined
                 by a modified optimization procedure from the work
                 Lemarchand, et al. 2014 which minimizes the total
                 length taking into account both degree and angle
                 constraints, beyond the conditions of connectedness and
                 planarity. A novel feature for solving our optimization
                 problem is the use of ``lifted'' angle constraints,
                 which allows one to considerably reduce the solution
                 runtimes. Using this optimization technique and a
                 Langevin approach for the branching node movement, the
                 simulated network dynamics represent the ER network
                 dynamics observed under latrunculin B treated condition
                 and recaptures features such as the
                 appearance/disappearance of loops within the ER under
                 the native condition. The proposed modeling approach
                 allows quantitative comparison of networks between the
                 model and experimental data based on topological
                 changes induced by node dynamics. An increased temporal
                 resolution of experimental data will allow a more
                 detailed comparison of network dynamics using this
                 modeling approach.",

  abstract =     "New de novo transcriptome assembly and annotation
                 methods provide an incredible opportunity to study the
                 transcriptome of organisms that lack an assembled and
                 annotated genome. There are currently a number of de
                 novo transcriptome assembly methods, but it has been
                 difficult to evaluate the quality of these assemblies.
                 In order to assess the quality of the transcriptome
                 assemblies, we composed a workflow of multiple quality
                 check measurements that in combination provide a clear
                 evaluation of the assembly performance. We presented
                 novel transcriptome assemblies and functional
                 annotations for Pacific Whiteleg Shrimp Litopenaeus
                 vannamei , a mariculture species with great national
                 and international interest, and no solid
                 transcriptome/genome reference. We examined Pacific
                 Whiteleg transcriptome assemblies via multiple metrics,
                 and provide an improved gene annotation. Our
                 investigations show that assessing the quality of an
                 assembly purely based on the assembler's statistical
                 measurements can be misleading; we propose a hybrid
                 approach that consists of statistical quality checks

                 and loss-of-virulence mutant F. verticillioides
                 co-expression networks to identify subnetwork modules
                 that are associated with its pathogenicity. We
                 constructed the F. verticillioides co-expression
                 networks from RNA-Seq data and searched through these
                 networks to identify subnetwork modules that are

                 mutant F. verticillioides, which considerably differ in
                 terms of pathogenic potentials. A greedy
                 seed-and-extend approach was utilized in our search,

                 several orthologs of known pathogenic genes in other

  abstract =     "Ultra-high dimensional variable selection has become
                 increasingly important in analysis of neuroimaging
                 data. For example, in the Autism Brain Imaging Data
                 Exchange ABIDE study, neuroscientists are interested in
                 identifying important biomarkers for early detection of
                 the autism spectrum disorder ASD using high resolution
                 brain images that include hundreds of thousands voxels.
                 However, most existing methods are not feasible for
                 solving this problem due to their extensive
                 computational costs. In this work, we propose a novel
                 multiresolution variable selection procedure under a
                 Bayesian probit regression framework. It recursively
                 uses posterior samples for coarser-scale variable
                 selection to guide the posterior inference on
                 finer-scale variable selection, leading to very
                 efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo MCMC algorithms. The
                 proposed algorithms are computationally feasible for
                 ultra-high dimensional data. Also, our model
                 incorporates two levels of structural information into
                 variable selection using Ising priors: the spatial
                 dependence between voxels and the functional
                 connectivity between anatomical brain regions. Applied
                 to the resting state functional magnetic resonance
                 imaging R-fMRI data in the ABIDE study, our methods
                 identify voxel-level imaging biomarkers highly
                 predictive of the ASD, which are biologically
                 meaningful and interpretable. Extensive simulations
                 also show that our methods achieve better performance
                 in variable selection compared to existing methods.",

  abstract =     "Determining gender by examining the human brain is not
                 a simple task because the spatial structure of the
                 human brain is complex, and no obvious differences can
                 be seen by the naked eyes. In this paper, we propose a
                 novel three-dimensional feature descriptor, the
                 three-dimensional weighted histogram of gradient
                 orientation 3D WHGO to describe this complex spatial
                 structure. The descriptor combines local information
                 for signal intensity and global three-dimensional
                 spatial information for the whole brain. We also
                 improve a framework to address the classification of
                 three-dimensional images based on MRI. This framework,
                 three-dimensional spatial pyramid, uses additional
                 information regarding the spatial relationship between
                 features. The proposed method can be used to
                 distinguish gender at the individual level. We examine
                 our method by using the gender identification of
                 individual magnetic resonance imaging MRI scans of a
                 large sample of healthy adults across four research
                 sites, resulting in up to individual-level accuracies
                 under the optimized parameters for distinguishing
                 between females and males. Compared with previous
                 methods, the proposed method obtains higher accuracy,
                 which suggests that this technology has higher
                 discriminative power. With its improved performance in
                 gender identification, the proposed method may have the
                 potential to inform clinical practice and aid in
                 research on neurological and psychiatric disorders.",

  abstract =     "In systems neuroscience, it is becoming increasingly
                 common to record the activity of hundreds of neurons
                 simultaneously via electrode arrays. The ability to
                 accurately measure the causal interactions among
                 multiple neurons in the brain is crucial to
                 understanding how neurons work in concert to generate
                 specific brain functions. The development of new
                 statistical methods for assessing causal influence
                 between spike trains is still an active field of
                 neuroscience research. Here, we suggest a copula-based
                 Granger causality measure for the analysis of neural
                 spike train data. This method is built upon our recent
                 work on copula Granger causality for the analysis of
                 continuous-valued time series by extending it to
                 point-process neural spike train data. The proposed
                 method is therefore able to reveal nonlinear and
                 high-order causality in the spike trains while
                 retaining all the computational advantages such as
                 model-free, efficient estimation, and variability
                 assessment of Granger causality. The performance of our
                 algorithm can be further boosted with time-reversed
                 data. Our method performed well on extensive
                 simulations, and was then demonstrated on neural
                 activity simultaneously recorded from primary visual
                 cortex of a monkey performing a contour detection
                 task.",

                 neurodegenerative disorder characterized clinically by
                 motor dysfunction bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor, and
                 postural instability, and pathologically by the loss of
                 dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the
                 basal ganglia. Growing literature supports that
                 cognitive deficits may also be present in PD, even in
                 non-demented patients. Gray matter GM atrophy has been
                 reported in PD and may be related to cognitive decline.
                 This study investigated cortical thickness in
                 non-demented PD subjects and elucidated its
                 relationship to cognitive impairment using
                 high-resolution T1-weighted brain MRI and comprehensive
                 cognitive function scores from 71 non-demented PD and
                 48 control subjects matched for age, gender, and
                 education. Cortical thickness was compared between
                 groups using a flexible hierarchical multivariate
                 Bayesian model, which accounts for correlations between
                 brain regions. Correlation analyses were performed
                 among brain areas and cognitive domains as well, which
                 showed significant group differences in the PD
                 population. Compared to Controls, PD subjects
                 demonstrated significant age-adjusted cortical thinning
                 predominantly in inferior and superior parietal areas
                 and extended to superior frontal, superior temporal,
                 and precuneus areas posterior probability $ > 0.9 $.
                 Cortical thinning was also found in the left precentral

                 frontal, and fusiform regions posterior probability $ >

  abstract =     "Recent studies have suggested abnormal brain network
                 organization in subjects with Autism Spectrum Disorders
                 ASD. Here we applied spectral clustering algorithm,
                 diverse centrality measures betweenness BC, clustering
                 CC, eigenvector EC, and degree DC, and also the network
                 entropy NE to identify brain sub-systems associated
                 with ASD. We have found that BC increases in the
                 following ASD clusters: in the somatomotor,
                 default-mode, cerebellar, and fronto-parietal. On the
                 other hand, CC, EC, and DC decrease in the somatomotor,
                 default-mode, and cerebellar clusters. Additionally, NE
                 decreases in ASD in the cerebellar cluster. These
                 findings reinforce the hypothesis of under-connectivity
                 in ASD and suggest that the difference in the network
                 organization is more prominent in the cerebellar
                 system. The cerebellar cluster presents reduced NE in
                 ASD, which relates to a more regular organization of
                 the networks. These results might be important to
                 improve current understanding about the etiological

                 intrinsically concerned with exploiting all available
                 knowledge about the problem under study. The
                 incorporation of problem domain knowledge is not an
                 optional mechanism, but a fundamental feature of the
                 Memetic Algorithms. In this paper, we present a Memetic
                 Algorithm to tackle the three-dimensional protein
                 structure prediction problem. The method uses a
                 structured population and incorporates a Simulated
                 Annealing algorithm as a local search strategy, as well
                 as ad-hoc crossover and mutation operators to deal with
                 the problem. It takes advantage of structural knowledge
                 stored in the Protein Data Bank, by using an Angle
                 Probability List that helps to reduce the search space
                 and to guide the search strategy. The proposed
                 algorithm was tested on 19 protein sequences of amino
                 acid residues, and the results show the ability of the
                 algorithm to find native-like protein structures.
                 Experimental results have revealed that the proposed
                 algorithm can find good solutions regarding
                 root-mean-square deviation and global distance total

                 with the advance of biotechnology. This makes it
                 possible and necessary to comparatively analyze the
                 different data at a network level. Global network
                 alignment is an important network comparison approach
                 to identify conserved subnetworks and get insight into
                 evolutionary relationship across species. Network
                 alignment which is analogous to subgraph isomorphism is
                 known to be an NP-hard problem. In this paper, we
                 introduce a novel heuristic Particle-Swarm-Optimization
                 based Network Aligner PSONA, which optimizes a weighted
                 global alignment model considering both protein
                 sequence similarity and interaction conservations. The
                 particle statuses and status updating rules are
                 redefined in a discrete form by using permutation. A
                 seed-and-extend strategy is employed to guide the
                 searching for the superior alignment. The proposed
                 initialization method ``seeds'' matches with high
                 sequence similarity into the alignment, which
                 guarantees the functional coherence of the mapping
                 nodes. A greedy local search method is designed as the
                 ``extension'' procedure to iteratively optimize the
                 edge conservations. PSONA is compared with several
                 state-of-art methods on ten network pairs combined by
                 five species. The experimental results demonstrate that
                 the proposed aligner can map the proteins with high
                 functional coherence and can be used as a booster to
                 effectively refine the well-studied aligners.",

                 address complex optimization problems. Recently,
                 evolutionary algorithms have been shown to handle
                 challenging continuous optimization problems related to
                 protein structure modeling. Building on recent work in
                 our laboratories, we propose an evolutionary algorithm
                 for efficiently mapping the multi-basin energy
                 landscapes of dynamic proteins that switch between
                 thermodynamically stable or semi-stable structural
                 states to regulate their biological activity in the
                 cell. The proposed algorithm balances computational
                 resources between exploration and exploitation of the
                 nonlinear, multimodal landscapes that characterize
                 multi-state proteins via a novel combination of global
                 and local search to generate a dynamically-updated,
                 information-rich map of a protein's energy landscape.
                 This new mapping-oriented EA is applied to several
                 dynamic proteins and their disease-implicated variants
                 to illustrate its ability to map complex energy
                 landscapes in a computationally feasible manner. We
                 further show that, given the availability of such maps,
                 comparison between the maps of wildtype and variants of
                 a protein allows for the formulation of a structural
                 and thermodynamic basis for the impact of sequence

                 the refined conformations, we used a standard potential
                 energy function with the OPLSAA force field. The
                 effectiveness of the search was assessed using a
                 variety of methods. The robustness of sampling was
                 checked by the energy yield function which measures
                 quantitatively the number of the peptide decoys
                 residing in an energetic funnel. Furthermore, the
                 potential energy-dependent Pareto fronts were
                 calculated to elucidate dissimilarities between peptide
                 conformations and the native state as observed by x-ray
                 crystallography. Our results showed that the probed
                 potential energy landscape of [Leu]Enkephalin is
                 self-similar on different metric scales and that the
                 local potential energy minima of the peptide decoys are
                 metastable, thus they can be refined to conformations
                 whose potential energy is decreased by approximately
                 $-$250 kJ/mol.",

                 performing structural comparisons of protein binding
                 sites. The solution is based on a parallel evolution
                 strategy that operates on large populations and runs on
                 GPU hardware. The proposed evolution strategy reduces
                 the likelihood of getting stuck in a local optimum of
                 the multimodal real-valued optimization problem
                 represented by labeled point cloud superpositioning.
                 The performance of the GPU-based parallel evolution
                 strategy is compared to a previously proposed CPU-based
                 sequential approach for labeled point cloud
                 superpositioning, indicating that the GPU-based
                 parallel evolution strategy leads to qualitatively
                 better results and significantly shorter runtimes, with
                 speed improvements of up to a factor of 1,500 for large
                 populations. Binary classification tests based on the
                 ATP, NADH, and FAD protein subsets of CavBase, a
                 database containing putative binding sites, show
                 average classification rate improvements from about 92
                 percent CPU to 96 percent GPU. Further experiments
                 indicate that the proposed GPU-based labeled point

                 cPLS-algorithm combining partial least squares approach
                 with negative binomial regression is suggested to
                 reconstruct a genomic association network for

  abstract =     "In the past years, the high-throughput sequencing
                 technologies have enabled massive insights into genomic
                 annotations. In contrast, the full-scale
                 three-dimensional arrangements of genomic regions are
                 relatively unknown. Thanks to the recent breakthroughs
                 in High-throughput Chromosome Conformation Capture Hi-C
                 techniques, non-negative matrix factorization NMF has
                 been adopted to identify local spatial clusters of
                 genomic regions from Hi-C data. However, such
                 non-negative matrix factorization entails a
                 high-dimensional non-convex objective function to be
                 optimized with non-negative constraints. We propose and
                 compare more than ten optimization algorithms to
                 improve the identification of local spatial clusters
                 via NMF. To circumvent and optimize the
                 high-dimensional, non-convex, and constrained objective
                 function, we draw inspiration from the nature to
                 perform in silico evolution. The proposed algorithms
                 consist of a population of candidates to be evolved
                 while the NMF acts as local search during the
                 evolutions. The population based optimization algorithm
                 coordinates and guides the non-negative matrix
                 factorization toward global optima. Experimental
                 results show that the proposed algorithms can improve
                 the quality of non-negative matrix factorization over
                 the recent state-of-the-arts. The effectiveness and
                 robustness of the proposed algorithms are supported by
                 comprehensive performance benchmarking on
                 chromosome-wide Hi-C contact maps of yeast and human.
                 In addition, time complexity analysis, convergence
                 analysis, parameter analysis, biological case studies,
                 and gene ontology similarity analysis are conducted to

                 period of time. To address the challenge of timely
                 global influenza surveillance, this paper presents a
                 spatial-temporal method that incorporates heterogeneous
                 data collected from the Internet to detect influenza
                 epidemics in real time. Specifically, the influenza
                 morbidity data, the influenza-related Google query data
                 and news data, and the international air transportation
                 data are integrated in a multivariate hidden Markov
                 model, which is designed to describe the intrinsic
                 temporal-geographical correlation of influenza
                 transmission for surveillance purpose. Respective
                 models are built for 106 countries and regions in the
                 world. Despite that the WHO morbidity data are not
                 always available for most countries, the proposed

                 epidemics during the period from January 2005 to
                 December 2015. Moreover, experiment shows that, the
                 proposed method could even predict an influenza
                 epidemic before it occurs with 89.20 percent accuracy
                 on average. Timely international surveillance results

                 transitions between these subsystems. The proposed

                 the lac operon of E. coli described with a
                 one-dimensional birth-death model. Thus, the
                 determination of the entire parameter range of
                 bimodality for the stochastic model of lac operon is
                 achieved.",

  abstract =     "Nowadays, with the advances in microscopic imaging,
                 accurate classification of bioimage-based protein
                 subcellular location pattern has attracted as much
                 attention as ever. One of the basic challenging
                 problems is how to select the useful feature components
                 among thousands of potential features to describe the
                 images. This is not an easy task especially considering
                 there is a high ratio of multi-location proteins.
                 Existing feature selection methods seldom take the
                 correlation among different cellular compartments into
                 consideration, and thus may miss some features that
                 will be co-important for several subcellular locations.
                 To deal with this problem, we make use of the important
                 structural correlation among different cellular
                 compartments and propose an organelle structural
                 correlation regularized feature selection method CSF
                 Common-Sets of Features in this paper. We formulate the
                 multi-label classification problem by adopting a
                 group-sparsity regularizer to select common subsets of
                 relevant features from different cellular compartments.
                 In addition, we also add a cell structural correlation
                 regularized Laplacian term, which utilizes the prior
                 biological structural information to capture the
                 intrinsic dependency among different cellular
                 compartments. The CSF provides a new feature selection
                 strategy for multi-label bio-image subcellular pattern
                 classifications, and the experimental results also show
                 its superiority when comparing with several existing
                 algorithms.",

                 non-invasive methods have been used recently as an
                 alternative method in staging chronic liver diseases
                 for avoiding the drawbacks of biopsy. This study aims
                 to evaluate different machine learning techniques in
                 prediction of advanced fibrosis by combining the serum
                 bio-markers and clinical information to develop the
                 classification models. Methods: A prospective cohort of
                 39,567 patients with chronic hepatitis C was divided
                 into two sets-one categorized as mild to moderate
                 fibrosis F0-F2, and the other categorized as advanced
                 fibrosis F3-F4 according to METAVIR score. Decision
                 tree, genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization,
                 and multi-linear regression models for advanced
                 fibrosis risk prediction were developed. Receiver
                 operating characteristic curve analysis was performed
                 to evaluate the performance of the proposed models.
                 Results: Age, platelet count, AST, and albumin were
                 found to be statistically significant to advanced
                 fibrosis. The machine learning algorithms under study
                 were able to predict advanced fibrosis in patients with
                 HCC with AUROC ranging between 0.73 and 0.76 and
                 accuracy between 66.3 and 84.4 percent. Conclusions:
                 Machine-learning approaches could be used as
                 alternative methods in prediction of the risk of
                 advanced liver fibrosis due to chronic hepatitis C.",

                 HIV-1 disease progression is an important step to
                 understand stage specific infection pattern of HIV-1
                 virus in human cell. In this article, we proposed a
                 novel methodology on integration of multiple biological
                 information to identify such disruption in human gene
                 module during different stages of HIV-1 infection. We
                 integrate three different biological information: gene
                 expression information, protein-protein interaction
                 information, and gene ontology information in single
                 gene meta-module, through non negative matrix
                 factorization NMF. As the identified meta-modules
                 inherit those information so, detecting perturbation of
                 these, reflects the changes in expression pattern, in
                 PPI structure and in functional similarity of genes
                 during the infection progression. To integrate modules
                 of different data sources into strong meta-modules, NMF
                 based clustering is utilized here. Perturbation in
                 meta-modular structure is identified by investigating
                 the topological and intramodular properties and putting
                 rank to those meta-modules using a rank aggregation
                 algorithm. We have also analyzed the preservation
                 structure of significant GO terms in which the human
                 proteins of the meta-modules participate. Moreover, we

  abstract =     "Finding regulatory relationships between genes,
                 including the direction and nature of influence between
                 them, is a fundamental challenge in the field of
                 molecular genetics. One classical approach to this
                 problem is epistasis analysis. Broadly speaking,
                 epistasis analysis infers the regulatory relationships
                 between a pair of genes in a genetic pathway by
                 considering the patterns of change in an observable
                 trait resulting from single and double deletion of
                 genes. While classical epistasis analysis has yielded
                 deep insights on numerous genetic pathways, it is not
                 without limitations. Here, we explore the possibility
                 of dynamic epistasis analysis, in which, in addition to
                 performing genetic perturbations of a pathway, we drive
                 the pathway by a time-varying upstream signal. We
                 explore the theoretical power of dynamical epistasis
                 analysis by conducting an identifiability analysis of
                 Boolean models of genetic pathways, comparing static
                 and dynamic approaches. We find that even relatively
                 simple input dynamics greatly increases the power of
                 epistasis analysis to discriminate alternative network
                 structures. Further, we explore the question of
                 experiment design, and show that a subset of short
                 time-varying signals, which we call dynamic primitives,
                 allow maximum discriminative power with a reduced
                 number of experiments.",

                 called EGCPI, to discover protein complexes in
                 protein-protein interaction PPI networks. In performing
                 its task, EGCPI takes into consideration both network
                 topologies and attributes of interacting proteins, both
                 of which have been shown to be important for protein
                 complex discovery. EGCPI formulates the problem as an
                 optimization problem and tackles it with evolutionary
                 clustering. Given a PPI network, EGCPI first annotates
                 each protein with corresponding attributes that are
                 provided in Gene Ontology database. It then adopts a
                 similarity measure to evaluate how similar the
                 connected proteins are taking into consideration the
                 network topology. Given this measure, EGCPI then
                 discovers a number of graph clusters within which
                 proteins are densely connected, based on an
                 evolutionary strategy. At last, EGCPI identifies
                 protein complexes in each discovered cluster based on
                 the homogeneity of attributes performed by pairwise
                 proteins. EGCPI has been tested with several real data
                 sets and the experimental results show EGCPI is very
                 effective on protein complex discovery, and the
                 evolutionary clustering is helpful to identify protein
                 complexes in PPI networks. The software of EGCPI can be

  abstract =     "Sequence similarity is a commonly used measure to
                 compare proteins. With the increasing use of
                 ontologies, semantic function similarity is getting
                 importance. The correlation between these measures has
                 been applied in the evaluation of new semantic
                 similarity methods, and in protein function prediction.
                 In this research, we investigate the relationship
                 between the two similarity methods. The results suggest
                 absence of a strong correlation between sequence and
                 semantic similarities. There is a large number of
                 proteins with low sequence similarity and high semantic
                 similarity. We observe that Pearson's correlation
                 coefficient is not sufficient to explain the nature of
                 this relationship. Interestingly, the term semantic
                 similarity values above 0 and below 1 do not seem to
                 play a role in improving the correlation. That is, the
                 correlation coefficient depends only on the number of
                 common GO terms in proteins under comparison, and the
                 semantic similarity measurement method does not
                 influence it. Semantic similarity and sequence
                 similarity have a distinct behavior. These findings are
                 of significant effect for future works on protein
                 comparison, and will help understand the semantic
                 similarity between proteins in a better way.",

  abstract =     "Although discriminative motif discovery DMD methods
                 are promising for eliciting motifs from high-throughput
                 experimental data, they usually have to sacrifice
                 accuracy and may fail to fully leverage the potential
                 of large datasets. Recently, it has been demonstrated
                 that the motifs identified by DMDs can be significantly
                 improved by maximizing the receiver-operating
                 characteristic curve AUC metric, which has been widely
                 used in the literature to rank the performance of
                 elicited motifs. However, existing approaches for motif
                 refinement choose to directly maximize the non-convex
                 and discontinuous AUC itself, which is known to be
                 difficult and may lead to suboptimal solutions. In this
                 paper, we propose Large Margin Motif Optimizer LMMO, a
                 large-margin-type algorithm for refining regulatory
                 motifs. By relaxing the AUC cost function with the
                 surrogate convex hinge loss, we show that the resultant
                 learning problem can be cast as an instance of
                 difference-of-convex DC programs, and solve it
                 iteratively using constrained concave-convex procedure
                 CCCP. To further save computational time, we combine
                 LMMO with existing techniques for improving the
                 scalability of large-margin-type algorithms, such as
                 cutting plane method. Experimental evaluations on
                 synthetic and real data illustrate the performance of
                 the proposed approach. The code of LMMO is freely

  abstract =     "Flexible proteins are proteins that have
                 conformational changes in their structures. Protein
                 flexibility analysis is critical for classifying and
                 understanding protein functionality. For that analysis,
                 the hinge areas where proteins show flexibility must be
                 detected. To detect the location of the hinges,
                 previous methods have utilized the three-dimensional 3D
                 structure of proteins, which is highly computational.
                 To reduce the computational complexity, this study
                 proposes a novel text-based method using structural
                 alphabets SAs for detecting the hinge position, called
                 NAHAL-Flex. Protein structures were encoded to a
                 particular type of SA called the protein folding shape
                 code PFSC, which remains unaffected by location, scale,
                 and rotation. The flexible regions of the proteins are
                 the only places in which letter sequences can be
                 distorted. With this knowledge, it is possible to find
                 the longest alignment path of two letter sequences
                 using a dynamic programming DP algorithm. Then, the
                 proposed method looks for regions where the alphabet
                 sequence is distorted to find the most probable hinge
                 positions. In order to reduce the number of hinge
                 positions, a genetic algorithm GA was utilized to find
                 the best candidate hinge points. To evaluate the
                 method's effectiveness, four different flexible and
                 rigid protein databases, including two small datasets
                 and two large datasets, were utilized. For the small
                 dataset, the NAHAL-Flex method was comparable to
                 state-of-the-art structural flexible alignment methods.
                 The result for the large datasets show that NAHAL-Flex
                 outperforms some well-known alignment methods, e.g.,
                 DaliLite, Matt, DeepAlign, and TM-align; the speed of
                 NAHAL-Flex was faster and its result was more accurate
                 than the other methods.",

                 been used for clinical risk prediction and biomarker
                 discovery. However, it is necessary to integrate other
                 prior knowledge like biological pathways or gene
                 interaction networks to improve the predictive ability
                 and biological interpretability of biomarkers. Here, we
                 first introduce a general regularized Logistic
                 Regression LR framework with regularized term $ \lambda
                 \Vert \boldsymbol {w} \Vert_1 + \eta \boldsymbol {w}^T
                 \boldsymbol {M} \boldsymbol {w} $, which can reduce to
                 different penalties, including Lasso, elastic net, and
                 network-regularized terms with different $ \boldsymbol
                 {M} $. This framework can be easily solved in a unified
                 manner by a cyclic coordinate descent algorithm which
                 can avoid inverse matrix operation and accelerate the
                 computing speed. However, if those estimated $

                 address it, we introduce a novel network-regularized

                 solve it. Finally, we test our methods and compare them

                 of treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct
                 resistance testing in order to carry out HIV effective
                 therapy. This study combines both sequence and
                 structural features for predicting HIV resistance by
                 applying SVM and Random Forests classifiers. The model
                 was tested on the mutants of HIV-1 protease and reverse
                 transcriptase. Taken together the features we have used
                 in our method, total contact energies among multiple
                 mutations have a strong impact in predicting resistance
                 as they are crucial in understanding the interactions
                 of HIV mutants. The combination of sequence-structure
                 features offers high accuracy with support vector
                 machines as compared to Random Forests classifier. Both
                 single and acquisition of multiple mutations are
                 important in predicting HIV resistance to certain drug
                 treatments. We have discovered the practicality of
                 these features; hence, these can be used in the future
                 to predict resistance for other complex diseases.",

                 sequencing, namely next-generation sequencing, was

                 roles in cancer progression and drug resistance is a
                 prerequisite for developing targeted cancer treatments.
                 The era of personalized medicine calls for
                 computational methods that can function with one sample
                 or a very small set of samples. Developing such methods
                 is challenging because standard statistical approaches
                 pose several limiting assumptions, such as number of
                 samples, that prevent their application when $n$
                 approaches to one. We have developed a novel pathway
                 analysis method called PerPAS to estimate pathway
                 activity at a single sample level by integrating
                 pathway topology and transcriptomics data. In addition,
                 PerPAS is able to identify altered pathways between
                 cancer and control samples as well as to identify key
                 nodes that contribute to the pathway activity. In our
                 case study using breast cancer data, we show that
                 PerPAS can identify highly altered pathways that are
                 associated with patient survival. PerPAS identified
                 four pathways that were associated with patient
                 survival and were successfully validated in three
                 independent breast cancer cohorts. In comparison to two
                 other pathway analysis methods that function at a
                 single sample level, PerPAS had superior performance in
                 both synthetic and breast cancer expression datasets.

                 the healthy stage to the catastrophic stage does not
                 occur gradually. Recent studies indicate that the
                 initiation and progression of such diseases are
                 comprised of three steps including healthy stage,
                 pre-disease stage, and disease stage. It has been
                 demonstrated that a certain set of trajectories can be
                 observed in the genetic signatures at the molecular
                 level, which might be used to detect the pre-disease
                 stage and to take necessary medical interventions. In
                 this paper, we propose two optimization-based
                 algorithms for extracting the dynamic network
                 biomarkers responsible for catastrophic transition into
                 the disease stage, and to open new horizons to reverse

                 pinpointing molecular signatures provided by
                 high-throughput microarray data. The first algorithm

  abstract =     "Background: MicroRNAs miRNAs are approximately
                 22-nucleotide long regulatory RNA that mediate RNA
                 interference by binding to cognate mRNA target regions.
                 Here, we present a distributed kernel SVM-based binary
                 classification scheme to predict miRNA targets. It
                 captures the spatial profile of miRNA-mRNA interactions
                 via smooth B-spline curves. This is accomplished
                 separately for various input features, such as
                 thermodynamic and sequence-based features. Further, we
                 use a principled approach to uniformly model both
                 canonical and non-canonical seed matches, using a novel
                 seed enrichment metric. Finally, we verify our
                 miRNA-mRNA pairings using an Elastic Net-based
                 regression model on TCGA expression data for four
                 cancer types to estimate the miRNAs that together
                 regulate any given mRNA. Results: We present a suite of
                 algorithms for miRNA target prediction, under the
                 banner Avishkar, with superior prediction performance
                 over the competition. Specifically, our final kernel
                 SVM model, with an Apache Spark backend, achieves an
                 average true positive rate TPR of more than 75 percent,
                 when keeping the false positive rate of 20 percent, for
                 non-canonical human miRNA target sites. This is an
                 improvement of over 150 percent in the TPR for
                 non-canonical sites, over the best-in-class algorithm.
                 We are able to achieve such superior performance by
                 representing the thermodynamic and sequence profiles of
                 miRNA-mRNA interaction as curves, devising a novel seed
                 enrichment metric, and learning an ensemble of miRNA
                 family-specific kernel SVM classifiers. We provide an
                 easy-to-use system for large-scale interactive analysis
                 and prediction of miRNA targets. All operations in our
                 system, namely candidate set generation, feature
                 generation and transformation, training, prediction,
                 and computing performance metrics are fully distributed
                 and are scalable. Conclusions: We have developed an
                 efficient SVM-based model for miRNA target prediction
                 using recent CLIP-seq data, demonstrating superior
                 performance, evaluated using ROC curves for different
                 species human or mouse, or different target types
                 canonical or non-canonical. We analyzed the agreement
                 between the target pairings using CLIP-seq data and
                 using expression data from four cancer types. To the
                 best of our knowledge, we provide the first distributed
                 framework for miRNA target prediction based on Apache
                 Hadoop and Spark. Availability: All source code and

                 commonly used to represent interactions and
                 higher-level associations among biological entities.
                 Integrated analyses of these interaction and
                 association data has proven useful in extracting
                 knowledge, and generating novel hypotheses for
                 biomedical research. However, since most datasets
                 provide their own schema and query interface,
                 opportunities for exploratory and integrative querying
                 of disparate data are currently limited. In this study,
                 we utilize RDF-based representations of biomedical
                 interaction and association data to develop a querying
                 framework that enables flexible specification and
                 efficient processing of graph template matching

  abstract =     "The method of Sorted L-One Penalized Estimation, or
                 SLOPE, is a sparse regression method recently
                 introduced by Bogdan et. al. [1] . It can be used to
                 identify significant predictor variables in a linear
                 model that may have more unknown parameters than
                 observations. When the correlations between predictor
                 variables are small, the SLOPE method is shown to
                 successfully control the false discovery rate the
                 expected proportion of the irrelevant among all
                 selected predictors at a user specified level. However,
                 the requirement for nearly uncorrelated predictors is
                 too restrictive for genomic data, as demonstrated in
                 our recent study [2] by an application of SLOPE to
                 realistic simulated DNA sequence data. A possible
                 solution is to divide the predictor variables into
                 nearly uncorrelated groups, and to modify the procedure
                 to select entire groups with an overall significant
                 group effect, rather than individual predictors.
                 Following this motivation, we extend SLOPE in the
                 spirit of Group LASSO to Group SLOPE, a method that can
                 handle group structures between the predictor
                 variables, which are ubiquitous in real genomic data.
                 Our theoretical results show that Group SLOPE controls
                 the group-wise false discovery rate gFDR, when groups
                 are orthogonal to each other. For use in non-orthogonal
                 settings, we propose two types of Monte Carlo based
                 heuristics, which lead to gFDR control with Group SLOPE
                 in simulations based on real SNP data. As an
                 illustration of the merits of this method, an
                 application of Group SLOPE to a dataset from the
                 Framingham Heart Study results in the identification of
                 some known DNA sequence regions associated with bone
                 health, as well as some new candidate regions. The
                 novel methods are implemented in the R package

  abstract =     "Signaling networks are involved in almost all major
                 diseases such as cancer. As a result of this,
                 understanding how signaling networks function is vital
                 for finding new treatments for many diseases. Using
                 gene knockdown assays such as RNA interference RNAi
                 technology, many genes involved in these networks can
                 be identified. However, determining the interactions
                 between these genes in the signaling networks using
                 only experimental techniques is very challenging, as
                 performing extensive experiments is very expensive and
                 sometimes, even impractical. Construction of signaling
                 networks from RNAi data using computational techniques
                 have been proposed as an alternative way to solve this
                 challenging problem. However, the earlier approaches
                 are either not scalable to large scale networks, or
                 their accuracy levels are not satisfactory. In this
                 study, we integrate RNAi data given on a target network
                 with multiple reference signaling networks and
                 phylogenetic trees to construct the topology of the
                 target signaling network. In our work, the network
                 construction is considered as finding the minimum
                 number of edit operations on given multiple reference
                 networks, in which their contributions are weighted by
                 their phylogenetic distances to the target network. The
                 edit operations on the reference networks lead to a
                 target network that satisfies the RNAi knockdown
                 observations. Here, we propose two new reference-based
                 signaling network construction methods that provide
                 optimal results and scale well to large-scale signaling
                 networks of hundreds of components. We compare the
                 performance of these approaches to the state-of-the-art
                 reference-based network construction method SiNeC on
                 synthetic, semi-synthetic, and real datasets. Our
                 analyses show that the proposed methods outperform
                 SiNeC method in terms of accuracy. Furthermore, we show
                 that our methods function well even if evolutionarily
                 distant reference networks are used. Application of our
                 methods to the Apoptosis and Wnt signaling pathways
                 recovers the known protein-protein interactions and
                 suggests additional relevant interactions that can be
                 tested experimentally.",

  abstract =     "The reconstruction of gene regulatory networks from
                 gene expression data has been the subject of intense
                 research activity. A variety of models and methods have
                 been developed to address different aspects of this
                 important problem. However, these techniques are
                 narrowly focused on particular biological and
                 experimental platforms, and require experimental data
                 that are typically unavailable and difficult to
                 ascertain. The more recent availability of
                 higher-throughput sequencing platforms, combined with
                 more precise modes of genetic perturbation, presents an
                 opportunity to formulate more robust and comprehensive
                 approaches to gene network inference. Here, we propose
                 a step-wise framework for identifying gene-gene
                 regulatory interactions that expand from a known point
                 of genetic or chemical perturbation using time series
                 gene expression data. This novel approach sequentially
                 identifies non-steady state genes post-perturbation and
                 incorporates them into a growing series of
                 low-complexity optimization problems. The governing
                 ordinary differential equations of this model are
                 rooted in the biophysics of stochastic molecular events
                 that underlie gene regulation, delineating roles for
                 both protein and RNA-mediated gene regulation. We show
                 the successful application of our core algorithms for
                 network inference using simulated and real datasets.",

                 research gene functions. However, currently most of
                 such studies have ignored an important problem in this
                 paper, we call it ``off-target'' problem, that is, if
                 the target gene is an overlapping gene A gene whose
                 expressible nucleotides overlaps with that of another
                 one, loss-of-function mutation by deleting the complete
                 open reading frame ORF may also cause the gene it
                 overlaps lose function, resulting a phenotype which may
                 be rather different from that of single gene deletion.
                 Therefore, when doing such studies, the
                 loss-of-function mutations should be carefully designed
                 to guarantee only the function of the target gene will
                 be abolished. In this paper, we present PyMut, an
                 easy-to-use web tool for biologists to design such
                 mutations. To the best of our knowledge, PyMut is the

  abstract =     "Nucleosomes, the basic units of chromatin, are
                 involved in transcription regulation and DNA
                 replication. Intronless genes, which constitute 3
                 percent of the human genome, differ from
                 intron-containing genes in evolution and function. Our
                 analysis reveals that nucleosome positioning shows a
                 distinct pattern in intronless and intron-containing
                 genes. The nucleosome occupancy upstream of
                 transcription start sites of intronless genes is lower
                 than that of intron-containing genes. In contrast, high
                 occupancy and well positioned nucleosomes are observed
                 along the gene body of intronless genes, which is
                 perfectly consistent with the barrier nucleosome model.
                 Intronless genes have a significantly lower expression
                 level than intron-containing genes and most of them are
                 not expressed in CD4+ T cell lines and GM12878 cell
                 lines, which results from their tissue specificity.
                 However, the highly expressed genes are at the same
                 expression level between the two types of genes. The
                 highly expressed intronless genes require a higher
                 density of RNA Pol II in an elongating state to
                 compensate for the lack of introns. Additionally, 5'
                 and 3' nucleosome depleted regions of highly expressed
                 intronless genes are deeper than those of highly
                 expressed intron-containing genes.",

                 assemble large sets of mechanistic protein-protein
                 interactions within integrated models. Our goal would
                 be to understand how the behavior of these systems
                 emerges from these low-level interactions. Yet, this is
                 a quite long term challenge and it is desirable to
                 offer intermediary levels of abstraction, so as to get
                 a better understanding of the models and to increase
                 our confidence within our mechanistic assumptions. To
                 this extend, static analysis can be used to derive
                 various abstractions of the semantics, each of them
                 offering new perspectives on the models. We propose an

                 this abstraction computes for each kind of proteins a

                 this protein may take and how a protein may pass from
                 one conformation to another one. Then, we use
                 simplicial complexes to abstract away the interleaving
                 order of the transformations between conformations that
                 commute. As a result, we get a compact summary of the

                 widely used formalisms in systems biology to describe
                 the molecular mechanisms of high-level cell processes.
                 However, modellers also reason with influence diagrams
                 to represent the positive and negative influences
                 between molecular species and may find an influence
                 network useful in the process of building a reaction
                 network. In this paper, we introduce a formalism of
                 influence networks with forces, and equip it with a
                 hierarchy of Boolean, Petri net, stochastic and
                 differential semantics, similarly to reaction networks
                 with rates. We show that the expressive power of
                 influence networks is the same as that of reaction
                 networks under the differential semantics, but weaker
                 under the discrete semantics. Furthermore, the
                 hierarchy of semantics leads us to consider a positive
                 Boolean semantics that cannot test the absence of a
                 species, that we compare with the negative Boolean
                 semantics with test for absence of a species in gene
                 regulatory networks {\`a} la Thomas. We study the
                 monotonicity properties of the positive semantics and
                 derive from them an algorithm to compute attractors in
                 both the positive and negative Boolean semantics. We
                 illustrate our results on models of the literature
                 about the p53/Mdm2 DNA damage repair system, the

                 to simplify the analysis of long-term behaviour of
                 chemical systems. In this work, we build on these ideas
                 to develop novel techniques for formal quantitative
                 analysis of chemical reaction networks, using discrete
                 stochastic models represented as continuous-time Markov

                 model of hierarchic organisations for a given reaction
                 network, which can be used to approximate the behaviour

                 and gene regulatory networks allow for the capturing of
                 temporal properties of biological networks while
                 requiring few parameters. However, these discrete
                 models typically suffer from the so-called state space
                 explosion problem which makes the formal assessment of
                 their potential behaviors very challenging. In this
                 paper, we describe a method to reduce a qualitative
                 model for enhancing the tractability of analysis of
                 transient reachability properties. The reduction does
                 not change the dimension of the model, but instead
                 limits its degree of freedom, therefore reducing the
                 set of states and transitions to consider. We rely on a
                 transition-centered specification of qualitative models
                 by the mean of automata networks. Our framework
                 encompasses the usual asynchronous Boolean and
                 multi-valued network, as well as 1-bounded Petri nets.
                 Applied to different large-scale biological networks

                 quantitative modeling approaches to reaction networks.
                 Existing methods for stochastic models rely either on
                 statistical sampling or can only be applied to small
                 systems. Here, we present an inference procedure for
                 stochastic models in equilibrium that is based on a
                 moment matching scheme with optimal weighting and that
                 can be used with high-throughput data like the one
                 collected by flow cytometry. Our method does not
                 require an approximation of the underlying equilibrium
                 probability distribution and, if reaction rate
                 constants have to be learned, the optimal values can be
                 computed by solving a linear system of equations. We
                 discuss important practical issues such as the
                 selection of the moments and evaluate the effectiveness
                 of the proposed approach on three case studies.",

                 is a main challenge in computational biology.
                 Data-driven approaches based on information theory can
                 determine the existence of interactions among network
                 nodes automatically. However, the elucidation of
                 certain features-such as distinguishing between direct
                 and indirect interactions or determining the direction
                 of a causal link-requires estimating
                 information-theoretic quantities in a multidimensional
                 space. This can be a computationally demanding task,
                 which acts as a bottleneck for the application of
                 elaborate algorithms to large-scale network inference
                 problems. The computational cost of such calculations
                 can be alleviated by the use of compiled programs and
                 parallelization. To this end, we have developed PREMER
                 Parallel Reverse Engineering with Mutual information \&
                 Entropy Reduction, a software toolbox that can run in
                 parallel and sequential environments. It uses
                 information theoretic criteria to recover network
                 topology and determine the strength and causality of
                 interactions, and allows incorporating prior knowledge,
                 imputing missing data, and correcting outliers. PREMER
                 is a free, open source software tool that does not
                 require any commercial software. Its core algorithms
                 are programmed in FORTRAN 90 and implement OpenMP
                 directives. It has user interfaces in Python and

  abstract =     "As a well-established computational framework,
                 probabilistic Boolean networks PBNs are widely used for
                 modelling, simulation, and analysis of biological
                 systems. To analyze the steady-state dynamics of PBNs
                 is of crucial importance to explore the characteristics
                 of biological systems. However, the analysis of large
                 PBNs, which often arise in systems biology, is prone to
                 the infamous state-space explosion problem. Therefore,
                 the employment of statistical methods often remains the
                 only feasible solution. We present $ \mathsf {ASSA -
                 PBN} $, a software toolbox for modelling, simulation,
                 and analysis of PBNs. $ \mathsf {ASSA - PBN} $ provides
                 efficient statistical methods with three parallel
                 techniques to speed up the computation of steady-state
                 probabilities. Moreover, particle swarm optimisation
                 PSO and differential evolution DE are implemented for
                 the estimation of PBN parameters. Additionally, we
                 implement in-depth analyses of PBNs, including long-run
                 influence analysis, long-run sensitivity analysis,
                 computation of one-parameter profile likelihoods, and
                 the visualization of one-parameter profile likelihoods.

                 intra-cellular molecular interaction networks can
                 suggest novel therapeutic approaches for systemic
                 diseases like cancer. Recent research in the area of
                 network science has shown that network control theory
                 can be a powerful tool in the understanding and
                 manipulation of such bio-medical networks. In 2011, Liu
                 et al. developed a polynomial time algorithm computing
                 the size of the minimal set of nodes controlling a
                 linear network. In 2014, Gao et al. generalized the
                 problem for target control, minimizing the set of nodes
                 controlling a target within a linear network. The
                 authors developed a Greedy approximation algorithm
                 while leaving open the complexity of the optimization
                 problem. We prove here that the target controllability
                 problem is NP-hard in all practical setups, i.e., when
                 the control power of any individual input is bounded by
                 some constant. We also show that the algorithm provided
                 by Gao et al. fails to provide a valid solution in some
                 special cases, and an additional validation step is
                 required. We fix and improve their algorithm using
                 several heuristics, obtaining in the end an up to
                 10-fold decrease in running time and also a decrease in
                 the size of solutions.",

                 population genomics has driven increases in both the
                 size of multi-genomic datasets and the number and
                 complexity of genome-wide analyses. We present the
                 Multisample Variant Format, specifically designed to
                 store multiple sequence alignments for phylogenomics
                 and population genomic analysis. The signature feature
                 of MVF is a distinctive encoding of aligned sites with
                 specific biological information content e.g.,
                 invariant, low-coverage. This biological pattern-based
                 encoding of sequence data allows for rapid filtering
                 and quality control of data and speeds up computation
                 for many analyses. Similar to other modern formats, MVF
                 has a simple data structure and flexible header
                 structure to accommodate project metadata, allowing to
                 also serve as an effective data publication and sharing

                 quality scores, and a mix of de novo and
                 reference-aligned data. Using the MVFtools package, MVF
                 files can be converted from other common sequence
                 formats. MVFtools completes tasks ranging from simple
                 transformation and filtering operations to complex
                 genome-wide visualizations in only a few minutes, even
                 on large datasets. In addition to presentation of MVF
                 and MVFtools, we also discuss the application both in
                 MVF and other existing data formats of the broader

                 inform sequence data encoding.",

                 protein-protein interactions PPIs in biomedical
                 literature. Current systems are capturing binary
                 relations and also the direction and type of an
                 interaction. Besides assisting in the curation PPIs
                 into databases, there has been little real-world
                 application of these algorithms. We describe UPSITE, a
                 text mining tool for extracting evidence in support of
                 a hypothesized interaction. Given a predicted PPI,
                 UPSITE uses a binary relation detector to check whether
                 a PPI is found in abstracts in PubMed. If it is not
                 found, UPSITE retrieves documents relevant to each of
                 the two proteins separately, and extracts contextual
                 information about biological events surrounding each
                 protein, and calculates semantic similarity of the two
                 proteins to provide evidential support for the
                 predicted PPI. In evaluations, relation extraction
                 achieved an Fscore of 0.88 on the HPRD50 corpus, and
                 semantic similarity measured with angular distance was
                 found to be statistically significant. With the
                 development of PPI prediction algorithms, the burden of
                 interpreting the validity and relevance of novel PPIs
                 is on biologists. We suggest that presenting
                 annotations of the two proteins in a PPI side-by-side
                 and a score that quantifies their similarity lessens
                 this burden to some extent.",

                 determined primarily by experimental methods; however,
                 computational PPI prediction methods can supplement or
                 verify PPIs identified by experiment. Here, we
                 developed a novel scoring method for predicting PPIs
                 from Gene Ontology GO annotations of proteins. Unlike
                 existing methods that consider functional similarity as
                 an indication of interaction between proteins, the new
                 score, named the protein-protein Interaction
                 Association Score IAS, was computed from GO term
                 associations of known interacting protein pairs in 49
                 organisms. IAS was evaluated on PPI data of six
                 organisms and found to outperform existing GO
                 term-based scoring methods. Moreover, consensus scoring
                 methods that combine different scores further improved
                 performance of PPI prediction.",

                 in the interpretation of the results of genome-wide
                 transcription profiling studies, and has been shown to
                 successfully find associations between the biological
                 phenomena under study and biological pathways. There
                 are two widely used approaches of pathway analysis:
                 over-representation analysis, and gene set analysis.
                 Recently genome-wide transcription factor binding data
                 has become widely available allowing for the
                 application of pathway analysis to this type of data.
                 In this work, we developed regulatory enrichment
                 pathway analysis REPA to apply gene set analysis to
                 genome-wide transcription factor binding data to infer
                 associations between transcription factors and
                 biological pathways. We used the transcription factor
                 binding data generated by the ENCODE project, and gene
                 sets from the Molecular Signatures and KEGG databases.
                 Our results showed that 54 percent of the predictions
                 examined have literature support and that REPA's recall
                 is roughly 54 percent. This level of precision is
                 promising as several of REPA's predictions are expected
                 to be novel and can be used to guide new research
                 avenues. In addition, the results of our case studies
                 showed that REPA enhances the interpretation of
                 genome-wide transcription profiling studies by

                 genomic regulatory motifs that relate to a variety of

                 still lack a reliable model-based framework for

                 and proposes a computational framework that facilitates

  abstract =     "Accurate identification of the cancer types is
                 essential to cancer diagnoses and treatments. Since
                 cancer tissue and normal tissue have different gene
                 expression, gene expression data can be used as an
                 efficient feature source for cancer classification.
                 However, accurate cancer classification directly using
                 original gene expression profiles remains challenging
                 due to the intrinsic high-dimension feature and the
                 small size of the data samples. We proposed a new
                 self-training subspace clustering algorithm under
                 low-rank representation, called SSC-LRR, for cancer
                 classification on gene expression data. Low-rank
                 representation LRR is first applied to extract
                 discriminative features from the high-dimensional gene
                 expression data; the self-training subspace clustering
                 SSC method is then used to generate the cancer
                 classification predictions. The SSC-LRR was tested on
                 two separate benchmark datasets in control with four
                 state-of-the-art classification methods. It generated
                 cancer classification predictions with an overall
                 accuracy 89.7 percent and a general correlation 0.920,
                 which are 18.9 and 24.4 percent higher than that of the
                 best control method respectively. In addition, several
                 genes RNF114, HLA-DRB5, USP9Y, and PTPN20 were
                 identified by SSC-LRR as new cancer identifiers that
                 deserve further clinical investigation. Overall, the
                 study demonstrated a new sensitive avenue to recognize
                 cancer classifications from large-scale gene expression

                 genomic data on public platforms. However, using
                 special characteristics of genomic data, background
                 knowledge that can be obtained from the Web, and family
                 relationship between the individuals, it is possible to
                 infer the hidden parts of shared and unshared genomes.
                 Existing work in this field considers simple
                 correlations in the genome as well as Mendel's law and
                 partial genomes of a victim and his family members. In
                 this paper, we improve the existing work on inference
                 attacks on genomic privacy. We mainly consider complex
                 correlations in the genome by using an observable
                 Markov model and recombination model between the
                 haplotypes. We also utilize the phenotype information
                 about the victims. We propose an efficient message
                 passing algorithm to consider all aforementioned
                 background information for the inference. We show that
                 the proposed framework improves inference with

                 syndrome-coronavirus MERS-CoV in South Korea in April
                 2015 led to 186 infections and 37 deaths by the end of
                 October 2015. MERS-CoV was isolated from the imported
                 patient in China. The envelope E protein, a small
                 structural protein of MERS-CoV, plays an important role
                 in host recognition and infection. To identify the
                 conserved epitopes of the E protein, sequence analysis
                 was performed by comparing the E proteins from 42
                 MERS-CoV strains that triggered severe pandemics and
                 infected humans in the past. To predict the potential B
                 cell epitopes of E protein, three most effective online
                 epitope prediction programs, the ABCpred, Bepipred, and
                 Protean programs from the LaserGene software were used.
                 All the nucleotides and amino acids sequences were
                 obtained from the NCBI Database. One potential epitope
                 with a suitable length amino acids 58-82 was confirmed
                 and predicted to be highly antigenic. This epitope had
                 scores of {$ > 0.80 $} in ABCpred and level 0.35 in
                 Bepipred programs. Due to the lack of X-ray crystal
                 structure of the E protein in the PDB database, the
                 simulated 3D structure of the E protein were also
                 predicted using PHYRE 2 and Pymol programs. In
                 conclusion, using bioinformatics methods, we analyzed
                 the genome sequence of MERS-CoV and identified a
                 potential B-cell epitope of the E protein, which might
                 significantly improve our current MERS vaccine
                 development strategies.",

  abstract =     "The ribosomal density along different parts of the
                 coding regions of the mRNA molecule affects various
                 fundamental intracellular phenomena including: protein
                 production rates, global ribosome allocation and
                 organismal fitness, ribosomal drop off,
                 co-translational protein folding, mRNA degradation, and
                 more. Thus, regulating translation in order to obtain a
                 desired ribosomal profile along the mRNA molecule is an
                 important biological problem. We study this problem by
                 using a dynamical model for mRNA translation, called
                 the ribosome flow model RFM. In the RFM, the mRNA
                 molecule is modeled as an ordered chain of $n$ sites.
                 The RFM includes $n$ state-variables describing the
                 ribosomal density profile along the mRNA molecule, and
                 the transition rates from each site to the next are
                 controlled by $ n + 1$ positive constants. To study the
                 problem of controlling the density profile, we consider
                 some or all of the transition rates as time-varying
                 controls. We consider the following problem: given an
                 initial and a desired ribosomal density profile in the
                 RFM, determine the time-varying values of the
                 transition rates that steer the system to the desired
                 density profile, if they exist. More specifically, we
                 consider two control problems. In the first, all
                 transition rates can be regulated separately, and the
                 goal is to steer the ribosomal density profile and the
                 protein production rate from a given initial value to a
                 desired value. In the second problem, one or more
                 transition rates are jointly regulated by a single
                 scalar control, and the goal is to steer the production
                 rate to a desired value within a certain set of
                 feasible values. In the first case, we show that the
                 system is controllable, i.e., the control is powerful
                 enough to steer the system to any desired value in
                 finite time, and provide simple closed-form expressions
                 for constant positive control functions or transition
                 rates that asymptotically steer the system to the
                 desired value. In the second case, we show that the
                 system is controllable, and provide a simple algorithm
                 for determining the constant positive control value
                 that asymptotically steers the system to the desired
                 value. We discuss some of the biological implications
                 of these results.",

                 is often observed in genomic regions, and analysis
                 typically focuses on estimating the proportion of
                 methylated sites observed in a given region and
                 comparing these levels across samples to determine
                 association with conditions of interest. While sites
                 are tacitly treated as independent, when observed at
                 the level of individual molecules methylation patterns
                 exhibit strong evidence of local spatial dependence. We

  abstract =     "A remaining key challenge of modern biology is
                 annotating the functional roles of proteins. Various
                 computational models have been proposed for this
                 challenge. Most of them assume the annotations of
                 annotated proteins are complete. But in fact, many of
                 them are incomplete. We proposed a method called NewGOA
                 to predict new Gene Ontology GO annotations for
                 incompletely annotated proteins and for completely
                 un-annotated ones. NewGOA employs a hybrid graph,
                 composed of two types of nodes proteins and GO terms,
                 to encode interactions between proteins, hierarchical
                 relationships between terms and available annotations
                 of proteins. To account for structural difference
                 between GO terms subgraph and proteins subgraph, NewGOA
                 applies a bi-random walks algorithm, which executes
                 asynchronous random walks on the hybrid graph, to
                 predict new GO annotations of proteins. Experimental
                 study on archived GO annotations of two model species
                 H. Sapiens and S. cerevisiae shows that NewGOA can more
                 accurately and efficiently predict new annotations of
                 proteins than other related methods. Experimental
                 results also indicate the bi-random walks can explore
                 and further exploit the structural difference between
                 GO terms subgraph and proteins subgraph. The

  abstract =     "The dramatically decreasing costs of DNA sequencing
                 have triggered more than a million humans to have their
                 genotypes sequenced. Moreover, these individuals
                 increasingly make their genomic data publicly
                 available, thereby creating privacy threats for
                 themselves and their relatives because of their DNA
                 similarities. More generally, an entity that gains
                 access to a significant fraction of sequenced genotypes
                 might be able to infer even the genomes of unsequenced
                 individuals. In this paper, we propose a
                 simulation-based model for quantifying the impact of
                 continuously sequencing and publicizing personal
                 genomic data on a population's genomic privacy. Our
                 simulation probabilistically models data sharing and
                 takes into account events such as migration and
                 interracial mating. We exemplarily instantiate our
                 simulation with a sample population of 1,000
                 individuals and evaluate the privacy under multiple
                 settings over 6,000 genomic variants and a subset of
                 phenotype-related variants. Our findings demonstrate
                 that an increasing sharing rate in the future entails a
                 substantial negative effect on the privacy of all older
                 generations. Moreover, we find that mixed populations
                 face a less severe erosion of privacy over time than
                 more homogeneous populations. Finally, we demonstrate
                 that genomic-data sharing can be much more detrimental
                 for the privacy of the phenotype-related variants.",

  abstract =     "Re-use of patients' health records can provide
                 tremendous benefits for clinical research. Yet, when
                 researchers need to access sensitive/identifying data,
                 such as genomic data, in order to compile cohorts of
                 well-characterized patients for specific studies,
                 privacy and security concerns represent major obstacles
                 that make such a procedure extremely difficult if not
                 impossible. In this paper, we address the challenge of
                 designing and deploying in a real operational setting
                 an efficient privacy-preserving explorer for genetic
                 cohorts. Our solution is built on top of the i2b2
                 Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside
                 framework and leverages cutting-edge privacy-enhancing
                 technologies such as homomorphic encryption and
                 differential privacy. Solutions involving homomorphic
                 encryption are often believed to be costly and immature
                 for use in operational environments. Here, we show
                 that, for specific applications, homomorphic encryption
                 is actually a very efficient enabler. Indeed, our
                 solution outperforms prior work by enabling a
                 researcher to securely compute simple statistics on
                 more than 3,000 encrypted genetic variants
                 simultaneously for a cohort of 5,000 individuals in
                 less than 5 seconds with commodity hardware. To the
                 best of our knowledge, our privacy-preserving solution
                 is the first to also be successfully deployed and

  abstract =     "Protein-RNA complexes play important roles in various
                 biological processes. The functions of protein-RNA
                 complexes are dictated by their interactions, binding,
                 stability, and affinity. In this work, we have
                 identified the key residues KRs, which are involved in
                 both stability and binding. We found that 42 percent of
                 considered proteins share common binding and
                 stabilizing residues, whereas these residues are
                 distinct in 58 percent of the proteins. Overall, 5
                 percent of stabilizing and 3 percent of binding
                 residues serve as key residues. These residues are
                 enriched with the combination of polar, charged,
                 aliphatic, and aromatic residues. Analysis on
                 subclasses of protein-RNA complexes based on protein
                 structural class, function and RNA type showed that
                 regulatory proteins, and complexes with single stranded
                 RNA and rRNA have appreciable number of key residues.
                 Specifically, Arg, Tyr, and Thr are preferred in most
                 of the subclasses of protein-RNA complexes. In
                 addition, residues with similar chemical behavior have
                 different preferences to be KRs, such that Arg, Tyr,
                 Val, and Thr are preferred over Lys, Trp, Ile, and Ser,
                 respectively. Atomic level contacts revealed that
                 charged and polar-nonpolar contacts are dominant in
                 enzymes, polar in structural, and nonpolar in
                 regulatory proteins. On the other hand, polar-nonpolar
                 contacts are enriched in all these classes of
                 protein-RNA complexes. Further, the influence of
                 sequence and structural features such as conservation
                 score, surrounding hydrophobicity, solvent
                 accessibility, secondary structure, and long-range
                 order in key residues are also discussed. We envisage
                 that the present study provides insights to understand

                 modeling biological sequences using traditional
                 sequencing models, long-range interaction, complicated

                 different solutions on a case-by-case basis. This study
                 proposed a unified deep learning architecture based on
                 long short-term memory or a gated recurrent unit to
                 capture long-range interactions. The architecture
                 designs the optional reshape operator to adapt to the

                 models capable of processing variable-length sequences.
                 The merging and pooling operators enhances the ability

                 fundamental protein sequence residues. It can be

                 that are the foundations of protein design and drug

                 physical, chemical, statistical, and biological
                 properties of a protein have been utilized as the
                 features, and a novel framework is proposed to predict

                 developed for predicting TFBS in DNA are tissue- or
                 species-specific methods, and therefore cannot be used
                 without prior knowledge of tissue or species. Some
                 computational methods are applicable to identifying
                 TFBS in short DNA sequences only. In this paper, we
                 propose a new learning method for predicting TFBS in
                 DNA of any length using the composition, transition,
                 and distribution of nucleotides and amino acids in DNA
                 and TF sequences. In independent testing of the method
                 on datasets that were not used in training the method,
                 the accuracy and MCC were as high as 81.84 percent and
                 0.634, respectively. The proposed method can be a
                 useful aid for selecting potential TFBS in a large
                 amount of DNA sequences before conducting biochemical
                 experiments to empirically determine TFBS. The program
                 and data sets are available at

  abstract =     "The hot regions in PPIs are some assembly regions
                 which are composed of the tightly packed HotSpots. The
                 discovery of hot regions helps to understand life
                 activities and has very important value for biological
                 applications. The identification of hot regions is the
                 basis for protein design and cancer prevention. The
                 existing algorithms of predicting hot regions often
                 have some defects, such as low accuracy and
                 unstability. This paper proposes a novel hot region
                 prediction method based on diverse biological
                 characteristics. First, feature evaluation is employed
                 by using an improved mRMR method. Then, SVM is adopted
                 to create cassification model based on the features
                 selected. In addition, a new clustering algorithm,
                 namely LCSD Local community structure detecting, is
                 developed to detect and analyze the conformation of hot
                 regions. In the clustering process, the link similarity
                 of protein residues is introduced to handle the
                 boundary nodes. This algorithm can effectively deal
                 with the missing residue nodes and control the local
                 community boundaries. The results indicate that the
                 spatial structure of hot regions can be obtained more
                 effectively, and that our method is more effective than
                 previous methods for precise identification of hot
                 regions.",

                 potential biomarkers of schizophrenia SCZ disease,
                 owing to the complex pathophysiology of this disease.
                 In this study, a network-fusion based framework was
                 proposed to identify genetic biomarkers of the SCZ
                 disease. A three-step feature selection was applied to
                 single nucleotide polymorphisms SNPs, DNA methylation,
                 and functional magnetic resonance imaging fMRI data to
                 select important features, which were then used to
                 construct two gene networks in different states for the
                 SNPs and DNA methylation data, respectively. Two health
                 networks one is for SNP data and the other is for DNA
                 methylation data were combined into one health network
                 from which health minimum spanning trees MSTs were
                 extracted. Two disease networks also followed the same
                 procedures. Those genes with significant changes were
                 determined as SCZ biomarkers by comparing MSTs in two
                 different states and they were finally validated from
                 five aspects. The effectiveness of the proposed
                 discovery framework was also demonstrated by comparing
                 with other network-based discovery methods. In summary,
                 our approach provides a general framework for
                 discovering gene biomarkers of the complex diseases by
                 integrating imaging genomic data, which can be applied

  abstract =     "Personalized target therapies represent one of the
                 possible treatment strategies to fight the ongoing
                 battle against cancer. New treatment interventions are
                 still needed for an effective and successful cancer
                 therapy. In this scenario, we simulated and analyzed
                 the dynamics of BRAF V600E melanoma patients treated
                 with BRAF inhibitors in order to find potentially
                 interesting targets that may make standard treatments
                 more effective in particularly aggressive tumors that
                 may not respond to selective inhibitor drugs. To this
                 aim, we developed a continuous Petri Net model that
                 simulates fundamental signalling cascades involved in
                 melanoma development, such as MAPK and PI3K/AKT, in
                 order to deeply analyze these complex kinase cascades
                 and predict new crucial nodes involved in
                 melanomagenesis. The model pointed out that some
                 microRNAs, like hsa-mir-132, downregulates expression
                 levels of p120RasGAP: under high concentrations of
                 p120RasGAP, MAPK pathway activation is significantly
                 decreased and consequently also PI3K/PDK1/AKT
                 activation. Furthermore, our analysis carried out
                 through the Genomic Data Commons GDC Data Portal shows
                 the evidence that hsa-mir-132 is significantly
                 associated with clinical outcome in melanoma cancer
                 genomic data sets of BRAF-mutated patients. In
                 conclusion, targeting miRNAs through antisense
                 oligonucleotides technology may suggest the way to
                 enhance the action of BRAF-inhibitors.",

  abstract =     "Tumor clustering is a powerful approach for cancer
                 class discovery which is crucial to the effective
                 treatment of cancer. Many traditional clustering
                 methods such as NMF-based models, have been widely used
                 to identify tumors. However, they cannot achieve
                 satisfactory results. Recently, subspace clustering
                 approaches have been proposed to improve the
                 performance by dividing the original space into
                 multiple low-dimensional subspaces. Among them, low
                 rank representation is becoming a popular approach to
                 attain subspace clustering. In this paper, we propose a
                 novel Low Rank Subspace Clustering model via Discrete
                 Constraint and Hypergraph Regularization DHLRS. The
                 proposed method learns the cluster indicators directly
                 by using discrete constraint, which makes the
                 clustering task simple. For each subspace, we adopt
                 Schatten $p$-norm to better approximate the low rank
                 constraint. Moreover, Hypergraph Regularization is
                 adopted to infer the complex relationship between genes
                 and intrinsic geometrical structure of gene expression
                 data in each subspace. Finally, the molecular pattern
                 of tumor gene expression data sets is discovered
                 according to the optimized cluster indicators.
                 Experiments on both synthetic data and real tumor gene
                 expression data sets prove the effectiveness of
                 proposed DHLRS.",

                 is to discover genomic duplication episodes and their
                 correspondence to the species tree. Existing approaches
                 vary in the two fundamental aspects: the choice of
                 evolutionary scenarios that model allowed locations of
                 duplications in the species tree, and the rules of
                 clustering gene duplications from gene trees into a
                 single multiple duplication event. Here we study the
                 method of clustering called minimum episodes for
                 several models of allowed evolutionary scenarios with a
                 focus on interval models in which every gene
                 duplication has an interval consisting of allowed
                 locations in the species tree. We present mathematical
                 foundations for general genomic duplication problems.
                 Next, we propose the first linear time and space
                 algorithm for minimum episodes clustering jointly for
                 any interval model and the algorithm for the most
                 general model in which every evolutionary scenario is

                 biological systems. The steady-state dynamics of PBNs
                 is of crucial importance in the study of such systems.
                 However, for large PBNs, which often arise in systems
                 biology, obtaining the steady-state distribution poses
                 a significant challenge. In this paper, we revive the
                 two-state Markov chain approach to solve this problem.
                 This paper contributes in three aspects. First, we
                 identify a problem of generating biased results with
                 the approach and we propose a few heuristics to avoid
                 such a pitfall. Second, we conduct an extensive

                 Skart method. We analyze the results with machine

  abstract =     "Selecting functional genes is essential for analyzing
                 microarray data. Among many available feature gene
                 selection approaches, the ones on the basis of the
                 large margin nearest neighbor receive more attention
                 due to their low computational costs and high
                 accuracies in analyzing the high-dimensional data. Yet,
                 there still exist some problems that hamper the
                 existing approaches in sifting real target genes,
                 including selecting erroneous nearest neighbors, high
                 sensitivity to irrelevant genes, and inappropriate
                 evaluation criteria. Previous pioneer works have partly
                 addressed some of the problems, but none of them are
                 capable of solving these problems simultaneously. In
                 this paper, we propose a new
                 local-nearest-neighbors-based feature weighting
                 approach to alleviate the above problems. The proposed
                 approach is based on the trick of locally minimizing
                 the within-class distances and maximizing the
                 between-class distances with the $k$ nearest neighbors
                 rule. We further define a feature weight vector, and
                 construct it by minimizing the cost function with a
                 regularization term. The proposed approach can be
                 applied naturally to the multi-class problems and does
                 not require extra modification. Experimental results on
                 the UCI and the open microarray data sets validate the
                 effectiveness and efficiency of the new approach.",

  abstract =     "Biological Event Extraction is an important task
                 towards the goal of extracting biomedical knowledge
                 from the scientific publications by capturing
                 biomedical entities and their complex relations from
                 the texts. As a crucial step in event extraction, event
                 trigger identification, assigning words with suitable
                 trigger category, has recently attracted substantial
                 attention. As triggers are scattered in large corpus,
                 traditional linguistic parsers are hard to generate
                 syntactic features from them. Thereby, trigger sparsity
                 problem restricts the model's learning process and
                 becomes one of the main hinder in trigger
                 identification. In this paper, we employ Noise
                 Contrastive Estimation with Multi-Layer Perceptron
                 model for solving triggers' sparsity problem.
                 Meanwhile, in the light of recent advance in word
                 distributed representation, word-embedding feature
                 generated by language model is utilized for semantic
                 and syntactic information extraction. Finally,
                 experimental study on commonly used MLEE dataset

  abstract =     "The supertree problem asking for a tree displaying a
                 set of consistent input trees has been largely
                 considered for the reconstruction of species trees.
                 Here, we rather explore this framework for the sake of
                 reconstructing a gene tree from a set of input gene
                 trees on partial data. In this perspective, the
                 phylogenetic tree for the species containing the genes
                 of interest can be used to choose among the many
                 possible compatible ``supergenetrees'', the most
                 natural criteria being to minimize a reconciliation
                 cost. We develop a variety of algorithmic solutions for
                 the construction and correction of gene trees using the
                 supertree framework. A dynamic programming supertree
                 algorithm for constructing or correcting gene trees,
                 exponential in the number of input trees, is first
                 developed for the less constrained version of the
                 problem. It is then adapted to gene trees with nodes
                 labeled as duplication or speciation, the additional
                 constraint being to preserve the orthology and paralogy
                 relations between genes. Then, a quadratic time
                 algorithm is developed for efficiently correcting an
                 initial gene tree while preserving a set of ``trusted''
                 subtrees, as well as the relative phylogenetic distance
                 between them, in both cases of labeled or unlabeled
                 input trees. By applying these algorithms to the set of
                 Ensembl gene trees, we show that this new correction
                 framework is particularly useful to correct
                 weakly-supported duplication nodes. The C++ source code

                 samples show great diversity as bacteria quickly
                 responds to changes in their ecosystems. To assess the
                 scenario of the actual changes, metagenomics
                 experiments aimed at sequencing genomic DNA from such
                 samples are performed. These new obtained sequences
                 together with already known are used to infer
                 phylogenetic trees assessing the taxonomic groups the

                 account gene duplication, loss and transfer events
                 under two tractable models of HGT reconciliation.
                 Conclusions: We calculate both the optimal cost and all
                 possible optimal scenarios. Furthermore as the number
                 of optimal reconstructions can be large, we use a

  abstract =     "The multifractal analysis has allowed to quantify the
                 genetic variability and non-linear stability along the
                 human genome sequence. It has some implications in
                 explaining several genetic diseases given by some
                 chromosome abnormalities, among other genetic
                 particularities. The multifractal analysis of a genome
                 is carried out by dividing the complete DNA sequence in
                 smaller fragments and calculating the generalized
                 dimension spectrum of each fragment using the chaos
                 game representation and the box-counting method. This
                 is a time consuming process because it involves the
                 processing of large data sets using floating-point
                 representation. In order to reduce the computation
                 time, we designed an application-specific processor,
                 here called multifractal processor, which is based on
                 our proposed hardware-oriented algorithm for
                 calculating efficiently the generalized dimension
                 spectrum of DNA sequences. The multifractal processor
                 was implemented on a low-cost SoC-FPGA and was verified
                 by processing a complete human genome. The execution
                 time and numeric results of the Multifractal processor
                 were compared with the results obtained from the
                 software implementation executed in a 20-core
                 workstation, achieving a speed up of 2.6x and an

                 array CGH data processing methods and evaluation models
                 assumed that the probability density function pdf of
                 noise in array CGH data is a Gaussian distribution.
                 However, in practice, such noise distribution is peaky
                 and heavy-tailed. Therefore, a Gaussian pdf is not
                 adequate to approximate the noise in array CGH data and
                 hence introduces wrong detections of chromosomal
                 aberrations and leads misunderstanding on disease
                 pathogenesis. A more accurate and sufficient model of
                 noise in array CGH data is necessary and beneficial to
                 the detection of DNA copy number variations. We analyze
                 the real array CGH data from different platforms and
                 show that the distribution of noise in array CGH data
                 is fitted very well by generalized Gaussian
                 distribution GGD. Based on our new noise model, we
                 propose a novel array CGH processing method combining
                 the advantages of both the smoothing and segmentation
                 approaches. The new method uses generalized Gaussian
                 bivariate shrinkage function and one-directional
                 derivative wavelet scalogram in generalized Gaussian
                 noise. In the smoothing step, with the new generalized
                 Gaussian noise model, we derive the heavy-tailed noise
                 suppression algorithm in stationary wavelet domain. In
                 the segmentation step, the 1D Gaussian derivative
                 wavelet scalogram is employed to detect break points.
                 Both real and simulated array CGH data with different
                 noises such as Gaussian noise, GGD noise, and real
                 noise are used in our experiments. We demonstrate that
                 our new method outperforms other state-of-the-art

                 be determined to reveal the underlying molecular
                 mechanisms of diseases. Current algorithms exhibit
                 limitations such as low accuracy and high sensitivity
                 to the number of networks because these algorithms
                 discover condition-specific modules in multiple
                 networks by separating specificity and modularity of
                 modules. To overcome these limitations, we characterize
                 condition-specific module as a group of genes whose
                 connectivity is strong in the corresponding network and
                 weak in other networks; this strategy can accurately
                 depict the topological structure of condition-specific
                 modules. We then transform the condition-specific
                 module discovery problem into a clustering problem in
                 multiple networks. We develop an efficient heuristic
                 algorithm for the Specific Modules in Multiple N

                 outperforms state-of-the-art methods. In breast cancer
                 networks, stage-specific modules discovered by SMMN are
                 more discriminative in predicting cancer stages than
                 those obtained by other techniques. In pan-cancer
                 networks, cancer-specific modules are more likely to

                 markers for Alzheimer's disease AD have been
                 identified. Cortical gray matter volume, cortical
                 thickness, and subcortical volume have been used
                 successfully to assist the diagnosis of Alzheimer's
                 disease including its early warning and developing
                 stages, e.g., mild cognitive impairment MCI including
                 MCI converted to AD MCIc and MCI not converted to AD
                 MCInc. Currently, these anatomical MRI measures have
                 mainly been used separately. Thus, the full potential
                 of anatomical MRI scans for AD diagnosis might not yet
                 have been used optimally. Meanwhile, most studies
                 currently only focused on morphological features of
                 regions of interest ROIs or interregional features
                 without considering the combination of them. To further
                 improve the diagnosis of AD, we propose a novel
                 approach of extracting ROI features and interregional
                 features based on multiple measures from MRI images to
                 distinguish AD, MCI including MCIc and MCInc, and
                 health control HC. First, we construct six individual
                 networks based on six different anatomical measures
                 i.e., CGMV, CT, CSA, CC, CFI, and SV and Automated
                 Anatomical Labeling AAL atlas for each subject. Then,
                 for each individual network, we extract all node ROI
                 features and edge interregional features, and denoted
                 as node feature set and edge feature set, respectively.
                 Therefore, we can obtain six node feature sets and six
                 edge feature sets from six different anatomical
                 measures. Next, each feature within a feature set is
                 ranked by $F$-score in descending order, and the top
                 ranked features of each feature set are applied to
                 MKBoost algorithm to obtain the best classification
                 accuracy. After obtaining the best classification
                 accuracy, we can get the optimal feature subset and the
                 corresponding classifier for each node or edge feature
                 set. Afterwards, to investigate the classification
                 performance with only node features, we proposed a
                 weighted multiple kernel learning wMKL framework to
                 combine these six optimal node feature subsets, and
                 obtain a combined classifier to perform AD
                 classification. Similarly, we can obtain the
                 classification performance with only edge features.
                 Finally, we combine both six optimal node feature
                 subsets and six optimal edge feature subsets to further
                 improve the classification performance. Experimental
                 results show that the proposed method outperforms some
                 state-of-the-art methods in AD classification, and
                 demonstrate that different measures contain
                 complementary information.",

                 patients are extremely dangerous to patients' health.
                 In recent studies, the continuous constant airflow is
                 adopted, however, it is not consistent with a clinical
                 situation. To study respiratory airflow dynamic
                 characteristics with secretion in the airways, a
                 mathematical model based on clinical mechanical
                 ventilation is established in this paper. To illustrate
                 the secretion's influence on the airflow dynamics of
                 mechanical ventilated respiratory system, three key
                 parameters which are cross section area ratio of
                 secretion/ pipe, air-secretion contact area, and
                 secretion viscosity are involved in the study. Through
                 the experimental study, the accuracy and dependability
                 of the model are confirmed. By the simulation study, we
                 find that: based on the model which combines two
                 airways and two model lungs, when one of the airways
                 was covered with secretion, the maximum pressure of the
                 model lung which is attached to the end of this airway
                 maintains constant when the cross section area ratio is
                 less than 66 percent, and then it tends to decline
                 sharply with the ratio increasing, but it remains
                 constant with the augment of air-secretion contact
                 area, the maximum flow declines both with the
                 increasing of cross section area ratio and
                 air-secretion contact area. Furthermore, as for the
                 other airway, the maximum pressure of the model lung
                 has no significant changes with the augment of area
                 ratio and air-secretion contact area, however, along
                 with the increasing of area ratio and air-secretion
                 contact area, the maximum flow rises up. Moreover, the
                 secretion viscosity has barely any influence on airflow
                 dynamics. According to our analysis results, we
                 conclude that the cross section area ratio of
                 secretion/pipe has bigger influence on airflow dynamic
                 characteristics than air-secretion contact area and
                 secretion viscosity. This paper lays the foundation for
                 the further study of efficacy and safety in mechanical
                 ventilation and the secretion clearance of mechanical
                 ventilated patients. In addition, the mathematical
                 model proposed in this paper can also be referred to
                 study on the secretion movement in human airways.",

                 network regions between molecular networks of different
                 species. Analogous to genomic sequence alignment, NA
                 can be used to transfer biological knowledge from well-
                 to poorly-studied species between aligned network
                 regions. Pairwise NA PNA finds similar regions between
                 two networks while multiple NA MNA can align more than
                 two networks. We focus on MNA. Existing MNA methods aim
                 to maximize total similarity over all aligned nodes
                 node conservation. Then, they evaluate alignment
                 quality by measuring the amount of conserved edges, but
                 only after the alignment is constructed. Directly
                 optimizing edge conservation during alignment
                 construction in addition to node conservation may
                 result in superior alignments. Thus, we present a novel
                 MNA method called multiMAGNA++ that can achieve this.
                 Indeed, multiMAGNA++ outperforms or is on par with
                 existing MNA methods, while often completing faster
                 than existing methods. That is, multiMAGNA++ scales
                 well to larger network data and can be parallelized

                 alignment quality measures. The multiMAGNA++ code is

  abstract =     "With the widespread implementation of next-generation
                 sequencing NGS technologies, millions of sequences have
                 been produced. A lot of databases were created to store
                 and organize the high-throughput sequencing data.
                 Numerous analysis software programs and tools have been
                 developed over the past years. Most of them use
                 specific formats for data representation and storage.
                 Data interoperability becomes a crucial challenge and
                 many tools have been developed to convert NGS data from
                 one format to another. However, most of them were
                 developed for specific and limited formats. Here, we
                 present NGS-FC Next-Generation Sequencing Format
                 Converter, which provides a framework to support the
                 conversion between several formats. It supports 14
                 formats now and provides interfaces to enable users to
                 improve the existing converters and add new ones.
                 Moreover, NGS-FC achieved the overall competitive
                 performance in comparison with some existing converters
                 in terms of RAM usage and running time. The software is
                 written in Java and can be executed standalone. The

                 can be flexibly and conveniently accessed and the
                 template based query interfaces they support do not
                 allow arbitrary speculative queries. They therefore
                 also do not support query optimization leveraging
                 unique phylogeny properties. While a small number of
                 graph query languages such as XQuery, Cypher, and
                 GraphQL exist for computer savvy users, most are too
                 general and complex to be useful for biologists, and
                 too inefficient for large phylogeny querying. In this
                 paper, we discuss a recently introduced visual query
                 language, called PhyQL, that leverages phylogeny
                 specific properties to support essential and powerful
                 constructs for a large class of phylogentic queries. We
                 develop a range of pruning aids, and propose a
                 substantial set of query optimization strategies using
                 these aids suitable for large phylogeny querying. A
                 hybrid optimization technique that exploits a set of
                 indices and ``graphlet'' partitioning is discussed. A
                 ``fail soonest'' strategy is used to avoid hopeless

  abstract =     "Developing algorithms for plant cell population
                 tracking is very critical for the modeling of plant
                 cell growth pattern and gene expression dynamics. The
                 tracking of plant cells in microscopic image stacks is
                 very challenging for several reasons: 1 plant cells are
                 densely packed in a specific honeycomb structure; 2
                 they are frequently dividing; and 3 they are imaged in
                 different layers within 3D image stacks. Based on an
                 existing 2D local graph matching algorithm, this paper
                 focuses on building a 3D plant cell matching model, by
                 exploiting the cells' 3D spatiotemporal context.
                 Furthermore, the Interacting Multi-Model filter IMM is
                 combined with the 3D local graph matching model to
                 track the plant cell population simultaneously. Because
                 our tracking algorithm does not require the
                 identification of ``tracking seeds'', the tracking
                 stability and efficiency are greatly enhanced. Last,
                 the plant cell lineages are achieved by associating the
                 cell tracklets, using a maximum-a-posteriori MAP
                 method. Compared with the 2D matching method, the
                 experimental results on multiple datasets show that our
                 proposed approach does not only greatly improve the
                 tracking accuracy by 18 percent, but also successfully
                 tracks the plant cells located at the high curvature
                 primordial region, which is not addressed in previous
                 work.",

                 patterns, which can bring non-random base content
                 curves of the sequencing data's beginning cycles. We
                 studied the patterns and found that we could determine
                 whether a sample is cfDNA or not by just looking into
                 the first 10 cycles of its base content curves. We
                 analyzed 3,189 FastQ files, including 1,442 plasma
                 cfDNA, 1,234 genomic DNA, 507 FFPE tumour DNA, and 6
                 urinary cfDNA. By deep analyzing these data, we found
                 the patterns were stable enough to distinguish cfDNA
                 from other kinds of DNA samples. Based on this finding,
                 we built classification models to recognize cfDNA

                 models were then trained with different classification

                 classifiers could give an average accuracy higher than
                 98 percent, indicating that the cfDNA patterns are
                 unique and can make the dataset highly separable. The

                 developed to train the model and to predict whether a

                 parsimony GTP costs has provided credible species tree
                 estimates. GTP costs are defined for each of the
                 classic evolutionary processes. These costs count the
                 minimum number of events necessary to reconcile the
                 gene tree with the species tree where the leaf-genes
                 are mapped to the leaf-species through a function
                 called labeling. To better understand the synthesis of
                 median trees under these costs, there is an increased
                 interest in analyzing their diameters. The diameters of
                 a GTP cost between a gene tree and a species tree are
                 the maximum values of this cost of one or both

                 computable for the gene duplication and deep

                 cost. For the first time, we show how to compute these
                 diameters and proof that this can be achieved in linear
                 time, and thus, completing the computational time

                 for single peptides, and insensitivity to unexpected
                 post-translational modifications as compared with MSn.
                 We previously proposed and evaluated the use of
                 feature-matching pattern-based support vector machines
                 SVMs for robust protein identification. This approach
                 is now facilitated with an updated web server fmpRPMF
                 incorporated with several newly developed or improved
                 modules and workflows allowing identification of
                 proteins from MS1 data. Development of the latest
                 fmpRPMF web tool successfully provides a rapid and
                 effective strategy for narrowing the range of candidate
                 proteins. First, a mass-scanning procedure screens all
                 candidate proteins matching the theoretical peptide
                 mass at least three times, thereby reducing the number
                 of candidate proteins from tens of thousands to
                 thousands. Second, a crude ranking procedure screens
                 true-positive proteins among the top six ranked times
                 of candidates based on 17 selected features to reduce
                 the number used for SVM prediction from thousands to
                 tens. The improvement of forecasting efficiency met the

  abstract =     "Species tree reconstruction from genomic data is
                 increasingly performed using methods that account for
                 sources of gene tree discordance such as incomplete
                 lineage sorting. One popular method for reconstructing
                 species trees from unrooted gene tree topologies is
                 ASTRAL. In this paper, we derive theoretical sample
                 complexity results for the number of genes required by
                 ASTRAL to guarantee reconstruction of the correct
                 species tree with high probability. We also validate
                 those theoretical bounds in a simulation study. Our
                 results indicate that ASTRAL requires $ O(f^{-2} \log
                 n) $ gene trees to reconstruct the species tree
                 correctly with high probability where $n$ is the number
                 of species and $f$ is the length of the shortest branch
                 in the species tree. Our simulations, some under the
                 anomaly zone, show trends consistent with the
                 theoretical bounds and also provide some practical
                 insights on the conditions where ASTRAL works well.",

                 of complex interactions between molecules that dictate
                 cellular behavior. 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

                 of features which can be used in molecular diagnosis of
                 disease, however, such datasets contain many irrelevant
                 or weak correlation features which influence the
                 predictive accuracy of diagnosis. Without a feature
                 selection algorithm, it is difficult for the existing
                 classification techniques to accurately identify
                 patterns in the features. The purpose of feature
                 selection is to not only identify a feature subset from
                 an original set of features [without reducing the
                 predictive accuracy of classification algorithm] but
                 also reduce the computation overhead in data mining. In
                 this paper, we present our improved shuffled frog
                 leaping algorithm which introduces a chaos memory
                 weight factor, an absolute balance group strategy, and
                 an adaptive transfer factor. Our proposed approach
                 explores the space of possible subsets to obtain the
                 set of features that maximizes the predictive accuracy
                 and minimizes irrelevant features in high-dimensional
                 biomedical data. To evaluate the effectiveness of our
                 proposed method, we have employed the K-nearest
                 neighbor method with a comparative analysis in which we
                 compare our proposed approach with genetic algorithms,
                 particle swarm optimization, and the shuffled frog
                 leaping algorithm. Experimental results show that our
                 improved algorithm achieves improvements in the

  abstract =     "MicroRNAs miRNAs are a type of non-coding RNAs with
                 about ~22nt nucleotides. Increasing evidences have
                 shown that miRNAs play critical roles in many human
                 diseases. The identification of human disease-related
                 miRNAs is helpful to explore the underlying
                 pathogenesis of diseases. More and more experimental
                 validated associations between miRNAs and diseases have
                 been reported in the recent studies, which provide
                 useful information for new miRNA-disease association
                 discovery. In this study, we propose a computational
                 framework, KBMF-MDI, to predict the associations
                 between miRNAs and diseases based on their
                 similarities. The sequence and function information of
                 miRNAs are used to measure similarity among miRNAs

                 are used to measure similarity among diseases,
                 respectively. In addition, the kernelized Bayesian

                 potential miRNA-disease associations by integrating
                 these data sources. We applied this method to 6,084
                 known miRNA-disease associations and utilized 5-fold

                 switching between structural states to modulate their
                 function. A detailed characterization of the precise
                 yet complex relationship between protein structure,
                 dynamics, and function requires elucidating transitions
                 between functionally-relevant states. Doing so
                 challenges both wet and dry laboratories, as protein
                 dynamics involves disparate temporal scales. In this
                 paper, we present a novel, sampling-based algorithm to
                 compute transition paths. The algorithm exploits two
                 main ideas. First, it leverages known structures to
                 initialize its search and define a reduced conformation
                 space for rapid sampling. This is key to address the
                 insufficient sampling issue suffered by sampling-based
                 algorithms. Second, the algorithm embeds samples in a
                 nearest-neighbor graph where transition paths can be
                 efficiently computed via queries. The algorithm adapts
                 the probabilistic roadmap framework that is popular in
                 robot motion planning. In addition to efficiently
                 computing lowest-cost paths between any given
                 structures, the algorithm allows investigating
                 hypotheses regarding the order of experimentally-known
                 structures in a transition event. This novel
                 contribution is likely to open up new venues of

  abstract =     "In these years, the number of biomedical articles has
                 increased exponentially, which becomes a problem for
                 biologists to capture all the needed information
                 manually. Information retrieval technologies, as the
                 core of search engines, can deal with the problem
                 automatically, providing users with the needed
                 information. However, it is a great challenge to apply
                 these technologies directly for biomedical retrieval,
                 because of the abundance of domain specific
                 terminologies. To enhance biomedical retrieval, we
                 propose a novel framework based on learning to rank.
                 Learning to rank is a series of state-of-the-art
                 information retrieval techniques, and has been proved
                 effective in many information retrieval tasks. In the
                 proposed framework, we attempt to tackle the problem of
                 the abundance of terminologies by constructing ranking
                 models, which focus on not only retrieving the most
                 relevant documents, but also diversifying the searching
                 results to increase the completeness of the resulting
                 list for a given query. In the model training, we
                 propose two novel document labeling strategies, and
                 combine several traditional retrieval models as
                 learning features. Besides, we also investigate the
                 usefulness of different learning to rank approaches in
                 our framework. Experimental results on TREC Genomics
                 datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework

                 accuracy by employing simplified statistical models
                 during the searching process. In this paper, we propose
                 a novel approach named Discriminative Motif Learning
                 via AUC DiscMLA to discover motifs on high-throughput
                 datasets. Unlike previous approaches, DiscMLA tries to
                 optimize with a more comprehensive criterion AUC during
                 motifs searching. In addition, based on an experimental
                 observation of motif identification on large-scale
                 datasets, some novel procedures are designed to
                 accelerate DiscMLA. The experimental results on 52
                 real-world datasets demonstrate that our approach
                 substantially outperforms previous methods on
                 discriminative motif learning problems. DiscMLA'
                 stability, discriminability, and validity will help to
                 exploit high-throughput datasets and answer many
                 fundamental biological questions.",

  abstract =     "Tracking many cells in time-lapse 3D image sequences
                 is an important challenging task of bioimage
                 informatics. Motivated by a study of brain-wide 4D
                 imaging of neural activity in C. elegans, we present a
                 new method of multi-cell tracking. Data types to which
                 the method is applicable are characterized as follows:
                 i cells are imaged as globular-like objects, ii it is
                 difficult to distinguish cells on the basis of shape
                 and size only, iii the number of imaged cells in the
                 several-hundred range, iv movements of nearly-located
                 cells are strongly correlated, and v cells do not
                 divide. We developed a tracking software suite that we
                 call SPF-CellTracker. Incorporating dependency on the
                 cells' movements into the prediction model is the key
                 for reducing the tracking errors: the cell switching
                 and the coalescence of the tracked positions. We model
                 the target cells' correlated movements as a Markov
                 random field and we also derive a fast computation
                 algorithm, which we call spatial particle filter. With
                 the live-imaging data of the nuclei of C. elegans
                 neurons in which approximately 120 nuclei of neurons
                 were imaged, the proposed method demonstrated improved
                 accuracy compared to the standard particle filter and
                 the method developed by Tokunaga et al. 2014.",

  abstract =     "Prediction of compound-protein interactions CPIs is to
                 find new compound-protein pairs where a protein is
                 targeted by at least a compound, which is a crucial
                 step in new drug design. Currently, a number of machine
                 learning based methods have been developed to predict
                 new CPIs in the literature. However, as there is not
                 yet any publicly available set of validated negative
                 CPIs, most existing machine learning based approaches
                 use the unknown interactions not validated CPIs
                 selected randomly as the negative examples to train
                 classifiers for predicting new CPIs. Obviously, this is
                 not quite reasonable and unavoidably impacts the CPI
                 prediction performance. In this paper, we simply take
                 the unknown CPIs as unlabeled examples, and propose a
                 new method called PUCPI the abbreviation of PU learning
                 for Compound-Protein Interaction identification that
                 employs biased-SVM Support Vector Machine to predict
                 CPIs using only positive and unlabeled examples. PU
                 learning is a class of learning methods that leans from
                 positive and unlabeled PU samples. To the best of our
                 knowledge, this is the first work that identifies CPIs
                 using only positive and unlabeled examples. We first
                 collect known CPIs as positive examples and then
                 randomly select compound-protein pairs not in the
                 positive set as unlabeled examples. For each
                 CPI/compound-protein pair, we extract protein domains
                 as protein features and compound substructures as
                 chemical features, then take the tensor product of the
                 corresponding compound features and protein features as
                 the feature vector of the CPI/compound-protein pair.
                 After that, biased-SVM is employed to train classifiers
                 on different datasets of CPIs and compound-protein
                 pairs. Experiments over various datasets show that our
                 method outperforms six typical classifiers, including
                 random forest, L1- and L2-regularized logistic
                 regression, naive Bayes, SVM and $k$-nearest neighbor
                 kNN, and three types of existing CPI prediction models.

  abstract =     "The Nuclear Receptor NR superfamily plays an important
                 role in key biological, developmental, and
                 physiological processes. Developing a method for the
                 classification of NR proteins is an important step
                 towards understanding the structure and functions of
                 the newly discovered NR protein. The recent studies on
                 NR classification are either unable to achieve optimum
                 accuracy or are not designed for all the known NR
                 subfamilies. In this study, we developed RF-NR, which
                 is a Random Forest based approach for improved
                 classification of nuclear receptors. The RF-NR can
                 predict whether a query protein sequence belongs to one
                 of the eight NR subfamilies or it is a non-NR sequence.
                 The RF-NR uses spectrum-like features namely: Amino
                 Acid Composition, Di-peptide Composition, and
                 Tripeptide Composition. Benchmarking on two independent
                 datasets with varying sequence redundancy reduction
                 criteria, the RF-NR achieves better or comparable
                 accuracy than other existing methods. The added
                 advantage of our approach is that we can also obtain
                 biological insights about the important features that
                 are required to classify NR subfamilies. RF-NR is

                 production with minimum side-effect. Although this
                 problem has been studied for various problem settings
                 via mathematical models including flux balance
                 analysis, elementary mode, and Boolean models, some
                 important problem settings still remain to be studied.
                 In this paper, we consider the Boolean Reaction
                 Modification BRM problem, where a host metabolic
                 network and a reference metabolic network are given in
                 the Boolean model. The host network initially produces
                 some toxic compounds and cannot produce some necessary
                 compounds, but the reference network can produce the
                 necessary compounds, and we should minimize the total
                 number of removed reactions from the host network and
                 added reactions from the reference network so that the
                 toxic compounds are not producible, but the necessary
                 compounds are producible in the resulting host network.
                 We developed integer linear programming ILP-based
                 methods for BRM, and compared them with OptStrain and
                 SimOptStrain. The results show that our method
                 performed better for reducing the total number of added

                 performed better for optimizing the production of the

                 that most living creatures tend to cooperate with each
                 other so as to fulfill tasks more effectively. Aiming
                 at lowering computational complexity while maintaining
                 the critical search capability of standard bacterial
                 foraging optimization BFO, we employ a general loop to
                 replace the nested loop and eliminate the reproduction
                 step of BFO. Hence, the proposed CSRBFO only consists
                 of two main steps: 1 chemotaxis and 2 elimination \&
                 dispersal. A coevolutionary strategy by which all
                 bacteria can learn from each other and search for
                 optima cooperatively is incorporated into the
                 chemotactic step to accelerate convergence and
                 facilitate accurate search. In the elimination \&
                 dispersal step, the three-stage evolutionary strategy
                 with different learning methods for maintaining
                 diversity is studied. An evaluation of the convergence
                 status is then added to determine whether bacteria
                 should move on to the next stage or not. The
                 combination of coevolutionary strategy and convergence
                 status evaluation is expected to balance exploration
                 and exploitation. Experimental results comparing seven

  abstract =     "Dynamic multi-objective optimization problems DMOPs
                 not only involve multiple conflicting objectives, but
                 these objectives may also vary with time, raising a
                 challenge for researchers to solve them. This paper
                 presents a cooperative co-evolutionary strategy based
                 on environment sensitivities for solving DMOPs. In this
                 strategy, a new method that groups decision variables
                 is first proposed, in which all the decision variables
                 are partitioned into two subcomponents according to
                 their interrelation with environment. Adopting two
                 populations to cooperatively optimize the two
                 subcomponents, two prediction methods, i.e.,
                 differential prediction and Cauchy mutation, are then
                 employed respectively to speed up their responses on
                 the change of the environment. Furthermore, two
                 improved dynamic multi-objective optimization
                 algorithms, i.e., DNSGAII-CO and DMOPSO-CO, are
                 proposed by incorporating the above strategy into
                 NSGA-II and multi-objective particle swarm
                 optimization, respectively. The proposed algorithms are
                 compared with three state-of-the-art algorithms by
                 applying to seven benchmark DMOPs. Experimental results
                 reveal that the proposed algorithms significantly
                 outperform the compared algorithms in terms of
                 convergence and distribution on most DMOPs.",

  abstract =     "For dynamic multi-objective vehicle routing problems,
                 the waiting time of vehicle, the number of serving
                 vehicles, and the total distance of routes were
                 normally considered as the optimization objectives.
                 Except for the above objectives, fuel consumption that
                 leads to the environmental pollution and energy
                 consumption was focused on in this paper. Considering
                 the vehicles' load and the driving distance, a
                 corresponding carbon emission model was built and set
                 as an optimization objective. Dynamic multi-objective
                 vehicle routing problems with hard time windows and
                 randomly appeared dynamic customers, subsequently, were
                 modeled. In existing planning methods, when the new
                 service demand came up, global vehicle routing
                 optimization method was triggered to find the optimal
                 routes for non-served customers, which was
                 time-consuming. Therefore, a robust dynamic
                 multi-objective vehicle routing method with two-phase
                 is proposed . Three highlights of the novel method are:
                 i After finding optimal robust virtual routes for all
                 customers by adopting multi-objective particle swarm
                 optimization in the first phase, static vehicle routes
                 for static customers are formed by removing all dynamic
                 customers from robust virtual routes in next phase. ii
                 The dynamically appeared customers append to be served
                 according to their service time and the vehicles'
                 statues. Global vehicle routing optimization is
                 triggered only when no suitable locations can be found
                 for dynamic customers. iii A metric measuring the
                 algorithms robustness is given. The statistical results
                 indicated that the routes obtained by the proposed
                 method have better stability and robustness, but may be
                 sub-optimum. Moreover, time-consuming global vehicle
                 routing optimization is avoided as dynamic customers
                 appear.",

  abstract =     "Particle Swarm Optimization PSO is a popular algorithm
                 which is widely investigated and well implemented in
                 many areas. However, the canonical PSO does not perform
                 well in population diversity maintenance so that
                 usually leads to a premature convergence or local
                 optima. To address this issue, we propose a variant of
                 PSO named Grouping PSO with Personal-Best-Position $
                 P_{best} $ Guidance GPSO-PG which maintains the
                 population diversity by preserving the diversity of
                 exemplars. On one hand, we adopt uniform random
                 allocation strategy to assign particles into different
                 groups and in each group the losers will learn from the
                 winner. On the other hand, we employ personal
                 historical best position of each particle in social
                 learning rather than the current global best particle.
                 In this way, the exemplars diversity increases and the
                 effect from the global best particle is eliminated. We
                 test the proposed algorithm to the benchmarks in CEC
                 2008 and CEC 2010, which concern the large scale

  abstract =     "Community detection is a crucial and essential problem
                 in the structure analytics of complex networks, which
                 can help us understand and predict the characteristics
                 and functions of complex networks. Many methods,
                 ranging from the optimization-based algorithms to the
                 heuristic-based algorithms, have been proposed for
                 solving such a problem. Due to the inherent complexity
                 of identifying network structure, how to design an
                 effective algorithm with a higher accuracy and a lower
                 computational cost still remains an open problem.
                 Inspired by the computational capability and positive
                 feedback mechanism in the wake of foraging process of
                 Physarum, a kind of slime, a general Physarum-based
                 computational framework for community detection is
                 proposed in this paper. Based on the proposed
                 framework, the inter-community edges can be identified
                 from the intra-community edges in a network and the
                 positive feedback of solving process in an algorithm
                 can be further enhanced, which are used to improve the
                 efficiency of original optimization-based and
                 heuristic-based community detection algorithms,
                 respectively. Some typical algorithms e.g., genetic
                 algorithm, ant colony optimization algorithm, and
                 Markov clustering algorithm and real-world datasets
                 have been used to estimate the efficiency of our
                 proposed computational framework. Experiments show that
                 the algorithms optimized by Physarum-inspired
                 computational framework perform better than the

  abstract =     "Curve reconstruction from data points is an important
                 issue for advanced medical imaging techniques, such as
                 computer tomography CT and magnetic resonance imaging
                 MRI. The most powerful fitting functions for this
                 purpose are the NURBS non-uniform rational B-splines.
                 Solving the general reconstruction problem with NURBS
                 requires computing all free variables of the problem
                 data parameters, breakpoints, control points, and their
                 weights. This leads to a very difficult non-convex,
                 nonlinear, high-dimensional, multimodal, and continuous
                 optimization problem. Previous methods simplify the
                 problem by guessing the values for some variables and
                 computing only the remaining ones. As a result,
                 unavoidable approximations errors are introduced. In
                 this paper, we describe the first method in the
                 literature to solve the full NURBS curve reconstruction
                 problem in all its generality. Our method is based on a
                 combination of two techniques: an immunological
                 approach to perform data parameterization, breakpoint
                 placement, and weight calculation, and least squares
                 minimization to compute the control points. This
                 procedure is repeated iteratively until no further
                 improvement is achieved for higher accuracy. The method
                 has been applied to reconstruct some outline curves
                 from MRI brain images with satisfactory results.
                 Comparative work shows that our method outperforms the
                 previous related approaches in the literature for all
                 instances in our benchmark.",

  abstract =     "Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of disability and
                 death worldwide among adults. The individual prognosis
                 after stroke is extremely dependent on treatment
                 decisions physicians take during the acute phase. In
                 the last five years, several scores such as the ASTRAL,
                 DRAGON, and THRIVE have been proposed as tools to help
                 physicians predict the patient functional outcome after
                 a stroke. These scores are rule-based classifiers that
                 use features available when the patient is admitted to
                 the emergency room. In this paper, we apply machine
                 learning techniques to the problem of predicting the
                 functional outcome of ischemic stroke patients, three
                 months after admission. We show that a pure machine
                 learning approach achieves only a marginally superior
                 Area Under the ROC Curve AUC $ 0.808 \pm 0.085 $ than
                 that of the best score $ 0.771 \pm 0.056 $ when using
                 the features available at admission. However, we
                 observed that by progressively adding features
                 available at further points in time, we can
                 significantly increase the AUC to a value above 0.90.
                 We conclude that the results obtained validate the use
                 of the scores at the time of admission, but also point
                 to the importance of using more features, which require
                 more advanced methods, when possible.",

                 reductionist model of
                 ``one-drug-one-gene-one-disease,'' which is inadequate
                 to tackle complex diseases involving multiple
                 malfunctioned genes. The availability of big omics data
                 offers opportunities to transform drug discovery
                 process into a new paradigm of systems pharmacology
                 that focuses on designing drugs to target molecular
                 interaction networks instead of a single gene. Here, we
                 develop a reliable multi-rank, multi-layered
                 recommender system, ANTENNA, to mine large-scale
                 chemical genomics and disease association data for
                 prediction of novel drug-gene-disease associations.
                 ANTENNA integrates a novel tri-factorization based
                 dual-regularized weighted and imputed One Class
                 Collaborative Filtering OCCF algorithm, tREMAP, with a

                 and assess the reliability of specific predictions. In
                 the benchmark, tREMAP clearly outperforms the
                 single-rank OCCF. We apply ANTENNA to a real-world
                 problem: repurposing old drugs for new clinical
                 indications without effective treatments. We discover
                 that FDA-approved drug diazoxide can inhibit multiple

                 effective targeted therapies. Our finding demonstrates
                 the power of big data analytics in drug discovery and
                 developing a targeted therapy for TNBC.",

                 data mining on medical data has great potential to
                 improve the quality of hospital treatment and increase
                 the survival rate of patients. Early readmission
                 prediction enables early intervention, which is
                 essential to preventing serious or life-threatening
                 events, and act as a substantial contributor to reduce
                 healthcare costs. Existing works on predicting
                 readmission often focus on certain vital signs and
                 diseases by extracting statistical features. They also
                 fail to consider skewness of class labels in medical
                 data and different costs of misclassification errors.
                 In this paper, we recur to the merits of convolutional
                 neural networks CNN to automatically learn features
                 from time series of vital sign, and categorical feature
                 embedding to effectively encode feature vectors with
                 heterogeneous clinical features, such as demographics,
                 hospitalization history, vital signs, and laboratory
                 tests. Then, both learnt features via CNN and
                 statistical features via feature embedding are fed into
                 a multilayer perceptron MLP for prediction. We use a
                 cost-sensitive formulation to train MLP during
                 prediction to tackle the imbalance and skewness
                 challenge. We validate the proposed approach on two
                 real medical datasets from Barnes-Jewish Hospital, and
                 all data is taken from historical EMR databases and
                 reflects the kinds of data that would realistically be
                 available at the clinical prediction system in
                 hospitals. We find that early prediction of readmission
                 is possible and when compared with state-of-the-art
                 existing methods used by hospitals, our methods perform
                 significantly better. For example, using the general
                 hospital wards data for 30-day readmission prediction,
                 the area under the curve AUC for the proposed model was
                 0.70, significantly higher than all the baseline
                 methods. Based on these results, a system is being
                 deployed in hospital settings with the proposed
                 forecasting algorithms to support treatment.",

                 Reasoning POCBR. While the current workflow management
                 systems implement mostly different complicated
                 graphical tasks based on advanced distributed solutions
                 e.g., cloud computing and grid computation, workflow
                 knowledge acquisition from texts using case-based
                 reasoning represents more expressive and semantic case

                 ontology-based workflow extraction framework to acquire
                 processual knowledge from texts. Our methodology
                 extends the classic NLP techniques to extract and

                 Using a graph-based representation of workflows and a

  abstract =     "In this article, we present a computational framework
                 to identify ``causal relationships'' among super gene
                 sets. For ``causal relationships,'' we refer to both
                 stimulatory and inhibitory regulatory relationships,
                 regardless of through direct or indirect mechanisms.
                 For super gene sets, we refer to ``pathways, annotated
                 lists, and gene signatures,'' or PAGs. To identify
                 causal relationships among PAGs, we extend the previous
                 work on identifying PAG-to-PAG regulatory relationships
                 by further requiring them to be significantly enriched
                 with gene-to-gene co-expression pairs across the two
                 PAGs involved. This is achieved by developing a
                 quantitative metric based on PAG-to-PAG Co-expressions
                 PPC, which we use to infer the likelihood that
                 PAG-to-PAG relationships under examination are
                 causal-either stimulatory or inhibitory. Since true
                 causal relationships are unknown, we approximate the
                 overall performance of inferring causal relationships
                 with the performance of recalling known r-type
                 PAG-to-PAG relationships from causal PAG-to-PAG
                 inference, using a functional genomics benchmark
                 dataset from the GEO database. We report the
                 area-under-curve AUC performance for both precision and
                 recall being 0.81. By applying our framework to a
                 myeloid-derived suppressor cells MDSC dataset, we
                 further demonstrate that this framework is effective in
                 helping build multi-scale biomolecular systems models

  abstract =     "Nuclear magnetic resonance NMR spectroscopy is
                 attracting more attention in the field of computational
                 structural biology. Till recently, $^1$H-detected
                 experiments are the dominant NMR technique used due to
                 the high sensitivity of $^1$H nuclei. However, the
                 current availability of high magnetic fields and
                 cryogenically cooled probe heads allow researchers to
                 overcome the low sensitivity of $^{13}$C nuclei.
                 Consequently, $^{13}$C-detected experiments have become
                 a popular technique in different NMR applications
                 especially resonance assignment and structure
                 determination of large proteins. In this paper, we
                 propose the first spin system forming method for
                 $^{13}$C-detected NMR spectra. Our method is able to
                 accurately form spin systems based on as few as two
                 $^{13}$C-detected spectra, CBCACON, and CBCANCO. Our
                 method picks slices from the more trusted spectrum and
                 uses them as feedback to direct the slice picking in
                 the less trusted one. This feedback leads to picking
                 the accurate slices that consequently helps to form
                 better spin systems. We tested our method on a real
                 dataset of `Ubiquitin' and a benchmark simulated
                 dataset consisting of 12 proteins. We fed our spin
                 systems as inputs to a genetic algorithm to generate
                 the chemical shift assignment, and obtained 92 percent
                 correct chemical shift assignment for Ubiquitin. For
                 the simulated dataset, we obtained an average recall of
                 86 percent and an average precision of 88 percent.
                 Finally, our chemical shift assignment of Ubiquitin was
                 given as an input to CS-ROSETTA server that generated

  abstract =     "Botulinum Neurotoxin A BoNT-A is a potent neurotoxin
                 with several clinical applications. The goal of this
                 study was to utilize co-expression network theory to
                 analyze temporal transcriptional data from skeletal
                 muscle after BoNT-A treatment. Expression data for 2000
                 genes extracted using a ranking heuristic served as the
                 basis for this analysis. Using weighted gene
                 co-expression network analysis WGCNA, we identified 19
                 co-expressed modules, further hierarchically clustered
                 into five groups. Quantifying average expression and
                 co-expression patterns across these groups revealed
                 temporal aspects of muscle's response to BoNT-A.
                 Functional analysis revealed enrichment of group 1 with
                 metabolism; group 5 with contradictory functions of
                 atrophy and cellular recovery; and groups 2 and 3 with
                 extracellular matrix ECM and non-fast fiber isoforms.
                 Topological positioning of two highly ranked,
                 significantly expressed genes-Dclk1 and Ostalpha-within
                 group 5 suggested possible mechanistic roles in
                 recovery from BoNT-A induced atrophy. Phenotypic
                 correlations of groups with titin and myosin protein
                 content further emphasized the effect of BoNT-A on the
                 sarcomeric contraction machinery in early phase of
                 chemodenervation. In summary, our approach revealed a
                 hierarchical functional response to BoNT-A induced
                 paralysis with early metabolic and later ECM responses
                 and identified putative biomarkers associated with
                 chemodenervation. Additionally, our results provide an
                 unbiased validation of the response documented in our
                 previous work.",

  abstract =     "The outbreak of the Ebola virus in recent years has
                 resulted in numerous research initiatives to seek new
                 solutions to contain the virus. A number of approaches
                 that have been investigated include new vaccines to
                 boost the immune system. An alternative post-exposure
                 treatment is presented in this paper. The proposed
                 approach for clearing the Ebola virus can be developed
                 through a microfluidic attenuator, which contains the
                 engineered bacteria that traps Ebola flowing through
                 the blood onto its membrane. The paper presents the
                 analysis of the chemical binding force between the
                 virus and a genetically engineered bacterium
                 considering the opposing forces acting on the
                 attachment point, including hydrodynamic tension and
                 drag force. To test the efficacy of the technique,
                 simulations of bacterial motility within a confined
                 area to trap the virus were performed. More than 60
                 percent of the displaced virus could be collected
                 within 15 minutes. While the proposed approach
                 currently focuses on in vitro environments for trapping
                 the virus, the system can be further developed into a
                 future treatment system whereby blood can be cycled out
                 of the body into a microfluidic device that contains
                 the engineered bacteria to trap viruses.",

                 modeling biological systems, a lot of biomolecular
                 networks have been producing more and more
                 protein-protein interaction PPI data. Analyzing
                 protein-protein interaction networks aims to find
                 regions of topological and functional dissimilarities
                 between molecular networks of different species. The
                 study of PPI networks has the potential to teach us as
                 much about life process and diseases at the molecular
                 level. Although few methods have been developed for
                 multiple PPI network alignment and thus, new network
                 alignment methods are of a compelling need. In this
                 paper, we propose a novel algorithm for a global
                 alignment of multiple protein-protein interaction
                 networks called MAPPIN. The latter relies on
                 information available for the proteins in the networks,
                 such as sequence, function, and network topology. Our
                 algorithm is perfectly designed to exploit current
                 multi-core CPU architectures, and has been extensively
                 tested on a real data eight species. Our experimental
                 results show that MAPPIN significantly outperforms
                 NetCoffee in terms of coverage. Nevertheless, MAPPIN is
                 handicapped by the time required to load the gene
                 annotation file. An extensive comparison versus the
                 pioneering PPI methods also show that MAPPIN is often
                 efficient in terms of coverage, mean entropy, or mean

                 seed-and-extend methods, which first find ``seed''

                 structural control theory. They found that
                 indispensable proteins, whose removal increase the
                 number of driver nodes, are the primary targets of
                 human viruses and drugs. However, the human PPI network
                 is usually incomplete and may include many
                 false-positive or false-negative interactions. That
                 prompts us to ask whether these indispensable proteins
                 are stable to possible structural changes. Here, we
                 present a method to alter the type of indispensable
                 proteins and thereby investigate the stability of
                 indispensable proteins. By comparing the sets of
                 indispensable proteins before and after structural
                 changes to the network, we find that very few added or
                 removed interactions can change the type of many
                 indispensable nodes. Furthermore, some indispensable
                 proteins are very sensitive to structural changes and
                 have significantly lower interactions than the other
                 indispensable proteins. The results indicate that
                 indispensable proteins are sensitive to structural
                 changes. Therefore, approaches based on structural
                 control theory should be used with caution because of
                 the incomplete nature of these networks.",

                 networks between different pathological states is an
                 important task in bioinformatics. Although a number of
                 computational approaches have been developed to infer
                 differential networks from high-throughput data, most

                 design problem of time-delayed genetic regulatory
                 networks. In the genetic regulatory networks, the time
                 delays are unknown constants, and the genetic
                 regulatory is not conventional SUM regulatory logic and
                 can be modeled to be an unknown nonlinear function of
                 the time-delayed states of the other genes in a cell.
                 By Lyapunov stability, a novel adaptive gene circuit
                 control design approach is proposed for the genetic
                 regulatory networks, where the unknown time delays are
                 estimated online by adaptive algorithms and the unknown
                 regulatory functions are approximated by neural
                 networks. The design approach in this paper is
                 delay-dependent and has less conservatism than the
                 delay-independent approach. From theoretical analysis,
                 the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable and all
                 the signals in the system converge to an adjustable
                 neighborhood of the origin. Finally, a numerical

                 to analyze the evolution of genomes. Recent progress in
                 sequencing ancient DNA led to the publication of
                 so-called paleogenomes and allows the integration of
                 this sequencing data in genome evolution analysis.
                 However, the de novo assembly of ancient genomes is
                 usually fragmented due to DNA degradation over time
                 among others. Integrated phylogenetic assembly
                 addresses the issue of genome fragmentation in the
                 ancient DNA assembly while aiming to improve the
                 reconstruction of all ancient genomes in the phylogeny
                 simultaneously. The fragmented assembly of the ancient
                 genome can be represented as an assembly graph,
                 indicating contradicting ordering information of
                 contigs. In this setting, our approach is to compare
                 the ancient data with extant finished genomes. We
                 generalize a reconstruction approach minimizing the

                 multifurcating trees and include edge lengths to
                 improve the reconstruction in practice. This results in
                 a polynomial time algorithm that includes additional
                 ancient DNA data at one node in the tree, resulting in
                 consistent reconstructions of ancestral genomes.",

                 has unexplored potential utilities, such as for
                 efficient and sensitive variation analysis against
                 multiple reference genome sequences, because it does
                 not depend on any particular reference genome sequence,
                 unlike conventional mapping-based methods. However,
                 since the amount of read data is generally much larger
                 than the size of the reference sequence, computation of
                 the BWT of reads is not easy, and this hampers
                 development of potential applications. For the
                 alleviation of this problem, a new method of computing
                 the BWT of reads in parallel is proposed. The BWT,
                 corresponding to a sorted list of suffixes of reads, is
                 constructed incrementally by successively including
                 longer and longer suffixes. The working data is divided
                 into more than 10,000 ``blocks'' corresponding to
                 sublists of suffixes with the same prefixes. Thousands
                 of groups of blocks can be processed in parallel while
                 making exclusive writes and concurrent reads into a
                 shared memory. Reads and writes are basically
                 sequential, and the read concurrency is limited to two.
                 Thus, a fine-grained parallelism, referred to as prefix
                 parallelism, is expected to work efficiently. The time
                 complexity for processing $n$ reads of length $ \ell $
                 is $ O n \ell^2$. On actual biological DNA sequence
                 data of about 100 Gbp with a read length of 100 bp base
                 pairs, a tentative implementation of the proposed
                 method took less than an hour on a single-node
                 computer; i.e., it was about three times faster than
                 one of the fastest programs developed so far.",

  abstract =     "Covering alignment problems arise from recent
                 developments in genomics; so called pan-genome graphs
                 are replacing reference genomes, and advances in
                 haplotyping enable full content of diploid genomes to
                 be used as basis of sequence analysis. In this paper,
                 we show that the computational complexity will change
                 for natural extensions of alignments to pan-genome
                 representations and to diploid genomes. More broadly,
                 our approach can also be seen as a minimal extension of
                 sequence alignment to labelled directed acyclic graphs
                 labeled DAGs. Namely, we show that finding a covering
                 alignment of two labeled DAGs is NP-hard even on binary
                 alphabets. A covering alignment asks for two paths $
                 R_1 $ red and $ G_1 $ green in DAG $ D_1 $ and two
                 paths $ R_2 $ red and $ G_2 $ green in DAG $ D_2 $ that
                 cover the nodes of the graphs and maximize the sum of
                 the global alignment scores: $ \mathsf {as} \mathsf
                 {sp}R_1, \mathsf {sp}R_2 + \mathsf {as} \mathsf
                 {sp}G_1, \mathsf {sp}G_2 $, where $ \mathsf {sp}P $ is
                 the concatenation of labels on the path $P$. Pair-wise
                 alignment of haplotype sequences forming a diploid
                 chromosome can be converted to a two-path coverable
                 labelled DAG, and then the covering alignment models
                 the similarity of two diploids over arbitrary

  abstract =     "Boolean networks is a well-established formalism for
                 modelling biological systems. A vital challenge for
                 analyzing a Boolean network is to identify all the
                 attractors. This becomes more challenging for large
                 asynchronous Boolean networks, due to the asynchronous
                 scheme. Existing methods are prohibited due to the
                 well-known state-space explosion problem in large
                 Boolean networks. In this paper, we tackle this
                 challenge by proposing a SCC-based decomposition
                 method. We prove the correctness of our proposed method
                 and demonstrate its efficiency with two real-life

  abstract =     "The majority of genes in eukaryotes consists of one or
                 more protein domains that can be independently lost or
                 gained during evolution. This gain and loss of protein
                 domains, through domain duplications, transfers, or
                 losses, has important evolutionary and functional
                 consequences. Yet, even though it is well understood
                 that domains evolve inside genes and genes inside
                 species, there do not exist any computational
                 frameworks to simultaneously model the evolution of
                 domains, genes, and species and account for their
                 inter-dependency. Here, we develop an integrated model
                 of domain evolution that explicitly captures the
                 interdependence of domain-, gene-, and species-level
                 evolution. Our model extends the classical phylogenetic
                 reconciliation framework, which infers gene family
                 evolution by comparing gene trees and species trees, by
                 explicitly considering domain-level evolution and
                 decoupling domain-level events from gene-level events.

                 properties plays an important role in structure
                 elucidation, with applications such as drug design. We
                 focus on the problem of enumerating tree-like chemical
                 graphs specified by upper and lower bounds on feature
                 vectors, where chemical graphs represent compounds, and
                 a feature vector characterizes frequencies of finite
                 paths in a graph. Building on the branch-and-bound
                 algorithm proposed in earlier work, we propose a new
                 bounding procedure, called Resource Cut, to speed up
                 the enumeration process. Tree-like chemical graphs are
                 modeled as vertex-colored trees, colors representing
                 chemical elements. The algorithm is based on a scheme
                 of generating each unique colored tree with a specified
                 number $n$ of vertices. A colored tree is constructed
                 by repeatedly appending vertices. Given a set $
                 \mathcal {R}$ of $n$ colored vertices, we found that
                 the algorithm often constructs trees that cannot be
                 extended to a unique representation of a colored tree
                 no matter how the remaining unused colored vertices in
                 the set $ \mathcal {R}$ are appended. We derive a
                 mathematical condition to detect and discard such
                 trees. Experimental results show that Resource Cut
                 significantly reduces the search space. We have been
                 able to obtain exact numbers of chemical graphs with up
                 to 17 vertices excluding hydrogen atoms.",

                 Recently, big data driven precision medicine has become
                 one of the frontiers in biomedical study, but the
                 complex diseases caused by interactions between genes,
                 environments, and lifestyles are still difficult to be
                 understood by traditional methods. Although we have

                 and accumulated, we are still lacking fine and
                 personalized clinical phenotype data. There is a long
                 way to go from data to precision medicine/ healthcare,
                 since the biomedical process is dynamic, evolutionary,

                 can benefit from using the human genomic information.
                 Consequently, many institutions are using statistical
                 analysis of genomic data, which are mostly based on
                 genome-wide association studies GWAS. GWAS analyze
                 genome sequence variations in order to identify genetic
                 risk factors for diseases. These studies often require
                 pooling data from different sources together in order
                 to unravel statistical patterns, and relationships
                 between genetic variants and diseases. Here, the
                 primary challenge is to fulfill one major objective:
                 accessing multiple genomic data repositories for
                 collaborative research in a privacy-preserving manner.
                 Due to the privacy concerns regarding the genomic data,
                 multi-jurisdictional laws and policies of cross-border
                 genomic data sharing are enforced among different
                 countries. In this article, we present SAFETY, a hybrid
                 framework, which can securely perform GWAS on federated
                 genomic datasets using homomorphic encryption and
                 recently introduced secure hardware component of Intel
                 Software Guard Extensions to ensure high efficiency and
                 privacy at the same time. Different experimental
                 settings show the efficacy and applicability of such
                 hybrid framework in secure conduction of GWAS. To the
                 best of our knowledge, this hybrid use of homomorphic
                 encryption along with Intel SGX is not proposed to this
                 date. SAFETY is up to 4.82 times faster than the best
                 existing secure computation technique.",

                 sensitive diagnoses, we evaluate the feasibility and
                 the efficacy of the proposed method. As feature
                 ablation progresses, the identifiability of a sensitive
                 medical condition decreases with varying speeds on
                 different diseases. We find that these sensitive
                 diagnoses can be divided into three categories: 1 five
                 diseases have fast declining identifiability AUC below
                 0.6 with less than 400 features excluded; 2 seven
                 diseases with progressively declining identifiability
                 AUC below 0.7 with between 200 and 700 features
                 excluded; and 3 one disease with slowly declining
                 identifiability AUC above 0.7 with 1,000 features
                 excluded. The fact that the majority 12 out of 13 of
                 the sensitive diseases fall into the first two
                 categories suggests the potential of the proposed
                 feature ablation method as a solution for event-level
                 record privacy protection.",

                 prevent accidental disclosure or leakage of sensitive

  abstract =     "To screen differentially expressed genes quickly and
                 efficiently in breast cancer, two gene microarray
                 datasets of breast cancer, GSE15852 and GSE45255, were
                 downloaded from GEO. By combining the Logistic
                 Regression and Random Forest algorithm, this paper
                 proposed a novel method named LR-RF to select
                 differentially expressed genes of breast cancer on
                 microarray data by the Bonferroni test of FWER error
                 measure. Comparing with Logistic Regression and Random
                 Forest, our study shows that LR-FR has a great facility
                 in selecting differentially expressed genes. The
                 average prediction accuracy of the proposed LR-RF from
                 replicating random test 10 times surprisingly reaches $
                 {{93.11}} $ percent with variance as low as $
                 {{0.00045}} $. The prediction accuracy rate reaches a
                 maximum 95.57 percent when threshold value $ \alpha =
                 0.2 $ in the random forest algorithm process of ranking
                 genes' importance score, and the differentially
                 expressed genes are relatively few in number. In
                 addition, through analyzing the gene interaction
                 networks, most of the top 20 genes we selected were
                 found to involve in the development of breast cancer.
                 All of these results demonstrate the reliability and
                 efficiency of LR-RF. It is anticipated that LR-RF would
                 provide new knowledge and method for biologists,
                 medical scientists, and cognitive computing researchers
                 to identify disease-related genes of breast cancer.",

                 of abnormal heart electrical activity is efficiently
                 recognized and classified. A novel method is proposed
                 for accurate recognition and classification of cardiac
                 arrhythmias. Firstly, P-QRS-T waves is segmented from
                 ECG waveform; secondly, morphological features are
                 extracted from P-QRS-T waves, and ECG segment features
                 are extracted from the selected ECG segment by using
                 PCA and dynamic time warping DTW; finally, SVM is
                 applied to the features and automatic diagnosis results
                 is presented. ECG data set used is derived from the
                 MIT-BIH in which ECG signals are divided into the four
                 classes: normal beatsN, supraventricular ectopic beats
                 SVEBs, ventricular ectopic beats VEBs and fusion of
                 ventricular and normal F. Our proposed method can
                 distinguish N, SVEBs, VEBs and F with an accuracy of
                 97.80 percent. The sensitivities for the classes N,
                 SVEBs, VEBs and F are 99.27, 87.47, 94.71, and 73.88
                 percent and the positive predictivities are 98.48,
                 95.25, 95.22 and 86.09 percent respectively. The
                 detection sensitivity of SVEBs and VEBs has a better
                 performance by combining proposed features than by
                 using the ECG morphology or ECG segment features
                 separately. The proposed method is compared with four
                 selected peer algorithms and delivers solid results.",

                 natural language processing NLP to Electronic Health
                 Records EHRs for computational phenotyping. NLP-based
                 computational phenotyping has numerous applications
                 including diagnosis categorization, novel phenotype
                 discovery, clinical trial screening, pharmacogenomics,
                 drug-drug interaction DDI, and adverse drug event ADE
                 detection, as well as genome-wide and phenome-wide
                 association studies. Significant progress has been made
                 in algorithm development and resource construction for
                 computational phenotyping. Among the surveyed methods,
                 well-designed keyword search and rule-based systems
                 often achieve good performance. However, the
                 construction of keyword and rule lists requires
                 significant manual effort, which is difficult to scale.
                 Supervised machine learning models have been favored
                 because they are capable of acquiring both
                 classification patterns and structures from data.
                 Recently, deep learning and unsupervised learning have
                 received growing attention, with the former favored for
                 its performance and the latter for its ability to find
                 novel phenotypes. Integrating heterogeneous data
                 sources have become increasingly important and have
                 shown promise in improving model performance. Often,
                 better performance is achieved by combining multiple
                 modalities of information. Despite these many advances,
                 challenges and opportunities remain for NLP-based
                 computational phenotyping, including better model
                 interpretability and generalizability, and proper
                 characterization of feature relations in clinical
                 narratives.",

                 for known drugs, has attracted a lot of attentions
                 recently and is becoming an effective strategy in drug
                 development. In literature, several computational
                 approaches have been proposed to identify potential
                 indications of old drugs based on various types of data
                 sources. In this paper, by formulating the drug-disease
                 associations as a low-rank matrix, we propose a novel
                 method, namely DrPOCS, to identify candidate
                 indications of old drugs based on projection onto
                 convex sets POCS. With the integration of drug
                 structure and disease phenotype information, DrPOCS
                 predicts potential associations between drugs and
                 diseases with matrix completion. Benchmarking results
                 demonstrate that our proposed approach outperforms
                 popular existing approaches with high accuracy. In
                 addition, a number of novel predicted indications are

                 clustering based on gene expression data. Then, in
                 order to advance the accuracy and stability of tumor
                 clustering, we establish the clustering model based on
                 Penalized Matrix Decomposition PMD and propose a novel
                 cluster method named MLLRR-PMD. In this method, the
                 cancer clustering research includes three steps. First,
                 the matrix of gene expression data is decomposed into a
                 low rank representation matrix and a sparse matrix by
                 MLLRR. Second, the differentially expressed genes are
                 identified based on the sparse matrix. Finally, the PMD
                 is applied to cluster the samples based on the
                 differentially expressed genes. The experiment results
                 on simulation data and real genomic data illustrate
                 that MLLRR method enhances the robustness to outliers
                 and achieves remarkable performance in the extraction
                 of differentially expressed genes.",

  abstract =     "Colorectal cancer CRC is one of the most prevalent
                 cancers around the globe. However, the molecular
                 reasons for pathogenesis of CRC are still poorly
                 understood. Recently, the role of microRNAs or miRNAs
                 in the initiation and progression of CRC has been
                 studied. MicroRNAs are small, endogenous noncoding RNAs
                 found in plants, animals, and some viruses, which
                 function in RNA silencing and posttranscriptional
                 regulation of gene expression. Their role in CRC
                 development is studied and they are found to be
                 potential biomarkers in diagnosis and treatment of CRC.
                 Therefore, identification of functionally similar CRC
                 related miRNAs may help in the development of a
                 prognostic tool. In this regard, this paper presents a
                 new algorithm, called $ \mu $Sim. It is an integrative
                 approach for identification of functionally similar
                 miRNAs associated with CRC. It integrates judiciously
                 the information of miRNA expression data and
                 miRNA-miRNA functionally synergistic network data. The
                 functional similarity is calculated based on both miRNA
                 expression data and miRNA-miRNA functionally
                 synergistic network data. The effectiveness of the
                 proposed method in comparison to other related methods
                 is shown on four CRC miRNA data sets. The proposed
                 method selected more significant miRNAs related to CRC
                 as compared to other related methods.",

                 trajectories coming from two classes, healthy and
                 mutated cancerous using Boolean networks with
                 perturbation BNps to model the dynamics of each class
                 at the state level. Each class has its own BNp, which
                 is partially known based on gene pathways. We employ a
                 Gaussian model at the observation level to show the
                 expression values of the genes given the hidden binary
                 states at each time point. We use expectation
                 maximization EM to learn the BNps and the unknown model
                 parameters, derive closed-form updates for the
                 parameters, and propose a learning algorithm. After
                 learning, a plug-in Bayes classifier is used to
                 classify unlabeled trajectories, which can have missing
                 data. Measuring gene expressions at different times
                 yields trajectories only when measurements come from a
                 single cell. In multiple-cell scenarios, the expression
                 values are averages over many cells with possibly
                 different states. Via the central-limit theorem, we
                 propose another model for expression data in
                 multiple-cell scenarios. Simulations demonstrate that
                 single-cell trajectory data can outperform
                 multiple-cell average expression data relative to
                 classification error, especially in high-noise
                 situations. We also consider data generated via a

  abstract =     "Due to the advancement of DNA sequencing techniques,
                 the number of sequenced individual genomes has
                 experienced an exponential growth. Thus, effective
                 compression of this kind of sequences is highly
                 desired. In this work, we present a novel compression
                 algorithm called Reference-based Compression algorithm
                 using the concept of Clustering RCC. The rationale
                 behind RCC is based on the observation about the
                 existence of substructures within the population
                 sequences. To utilize these substructures, $k$-means
                 clustering is employed to partition sequences into
                 clusters for better compression. A reference sequence
                 is then constructed for each cluster so that sequences
                 in that cluster can be compressed by referring to this
                 reference sequence. The reference sequence of each
                 cluster is also compressed with reference to a sequence
                 which is derived from all the reference sequences.
                 Experiments show that RCC can further reduce the
                 compressed size by up to 91.0 percent when compared
                 with state-of-the-art compression approaches. There is
                 a compromise between compressed size and processing
                 time. The current implementation in Matlab has time
                 complexity in a factor of thousands higher than the
                 existing algorithms implemented in C/C++. Further
                 investigation is required to improve processing time in
                 future.",

  abstract =     "Disease gene prediction is a challenging task that has
                 a variety of applications such as early diagnosis and
                 drug development. The existing machine learning methods
                 suffer from the imbalanced sample issue because the
                 number of known disease genes positive samples is much
                 less than that of unknown genes which are typically
                 considered to be negative samples. In addition, most
                 methods have not utilized clinical data from patients
                 with a specific disease to predict disease genes. In
                 this study, we propose a disease gene prediction
                 algorithm called dgSeq by combining protein-protein
                 interaction PPI network, clinical RNA-Seq data, and
                 Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man OMIN data. Our
                 dgSeq constructs differential networks based on
                 rewiring information calculated from clinical RNA-Seq
                 data. To select balanced sets of non-disease genes
                 negative samples, a disease-gene network is also
                 constructed from OMIM data. After features are
                 extracted from the PPI networks and differential
                 networks, the logistic regression classifiers are
                 trained. Our dgSeq obtains AUC values of 0.88, 0.83,
                 and 0.80 for identifying breast cancer genes, thyroid
                 cancer genes, and Alzheimer's disease genes,
                 respectively, which indicates its superiority to other
                 three competing methods. Both gene set enrichment
                 analysis and predicted results demonstrate that dgSeq
                 can effectively predict new disease genes.",

  abstract =     "MicroRNAs miRNAs are a class of non-coding RNAs about
                 $ \sim $22nt nucleotides. Studies have proven that
                 miRNAs play key roles in many human complex diseases.
                 Therefore, discovering miRNA-disease associations is
                 beneficial to understanding disease mechanisms,
                 developing drugs, and treating complex diseases. It is
                 well known that it is a time-consuming and expensive
                 process to discover the miRNA-disease associations via
                 biological experiments. Alternatively, computational
                 models could provide a low-cost and high-efficiency way
                 for predicting miRNA-disease associations. In this
                 study, we propose a method called DNRLMF-MDA to predict
                 miRNA-disease associations based on dynamic
                 neighborhood regularized logistic matrix factorization.
                 DNRLMF-MDA integrates known miRNA-disease associations,
                 functional similarity and Gaussian Interaction Profile
                 GIP kernel similarity of miRNAs, and functional
                 similarity and GIP kernel similarity of diseases.
                 Especially, positive observations known miRNA-disease
                 associations are assigned higher importance levels than
                 negative observations unknown miRNA-disease
                 associations.DNRLMF-MDA computes the probability that a
                 miRNA would interact with a disease by a logistic
                 matrix factorization method, where latent vectors of
                 miRNAs and diseases represent the properties of miRNAs
                 and diseases, respectively, and further improve
                 prediction performance via dynamic neighborhood
                 regularized. The 5-fold cross validation is adopted to
                 assess the performance of our DNRLMF-MDA, as well as
                 other competing methods for comparison. The
                 computational experiments show that DNRLMF-MDA
                 outperforms the state-of-art method PBMDA. The AUC
                 values of DNRLMF-MDA on three datasets are 0.9357,
                 0.9411, and 0.9416, respectively, which are superior to
                 the PBMDA's results of 0.9218, 0.9187, and 0.9262. The
                 average computation times per 5-fold cross validation
                 of DNRLMF-MDA on three datasets are 38, 46, and 50
                 seconds, which are shorter than the PBMDA's average
                 computation times of 10869, 916, and 8448 seconds,
                 respectively. DNRLMF-MDA also can predict potential
                 diseases for new miRNAs. Furthermore, case studies
                 illustrate that DNRLMF-MDA is an effective method to
                 predict miRNA-disease associations.",

                 multimedia based clinical decision support. In this
                 paper, we use deep learning with brain network and
                 clinical relevant text information to make early
                 diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease AD. The clinical
                 relevant text information includes age, gender, and $ A

                 constructed by computing the functional connectivity of
                 brain regions using resting-state functional magnetic
                 resonance imaging R-fMRI data. A targeted autoencoder
                 network is built to distinguish normal aging from mild
                 cognitive impairment, an early stage of AD. The
                 proposed method reveals discriminative brain network
                 features effectively and provides a reliable classifier
                 for AD detection. Compared to traditional classifiers
                 based on R-fMRI time series data, about 31.21 percent
                 improvement of the prediction accuracy is achieved by
                 the proposed deep learning method, and the standard

  abstract =     "Methods to efficiently uncover and extract community
                 structures are required in a number of biological
                 applications where networked data and their
                 interactions can be modeled as graphs, and observing
                 tightly-knit groups of vertices ``communities'' can
                 offer insights into the structural and functional
                 building blocks of the underlying network. Classical
                 applications of community detection have largely
                 focused on unipartite networks --- i.e., graphs built
                 out of a single type of objects. However, due to
                 increased availability of biological data from various
                 sources, there is now an increasing need for handling
                 heterogeneous networks which are built out of multiple
                 types of objects. In this paper, we address the problem
                 of identifying communities from biological bipartite
                 networks --- i.e., networks where interactions are
                 observed between two different types of objects e.g.,
                 genes and diseases, drugs and protein complexes, plants
                 and pollinators, and hosts and pathogens. Toward
                 detecting communities in such bipartite networks, we
                 make the following contributions: i metric we propose a
                 variant of bipartite modularity; ii algorithms we
                 present an efficient algorithm called biLouvain that
                 implements a set of heuristics toward fast and precise
                 community detection in bipartite networks
                 https://github.com/paolapesantez/biLouvain; and iii
                 experiments we present a thorough experimental
                 evaluation of our algorithm including comparison to
                 other state-of-the-art methods to identify communities
                 in bipartite networks. Experimental results show that
                 our biLouvain algorithm identifies communities that
                 have a comparable or better quality as measured by
                 bipartite modularity than existing methods, while
                 significantly reducing the time-to-solution between one
                 and four orders of magnitude.",

                 the post-transcriptional control of RNAs, such as
                 splicing, polyadenylation, mRNA stabilization, mRNA
                 localization, and translation. Thanks to the recent
                 breakthrough, non-negative matrix factorization NMF has
                 been developed to combine multiple data sources to
                 discover non-overlapping and class-specific RNA binding
                 patterns. However, several challenges still exist in
                 determining the number of latent dimensions in the
                 factorization steps. In most circumstances, it is often
                 assumed that the number of latent dimensions or
                 components is given. Such trial-and-error procedures
                 can be tedious in practice. In order to address this
                 problem, differential evolution algorithm is proposed
                 as the model selection method to choose the suitable
                 number of ranks, which can adaptively decompose the
                 input protein-RNA data matrix into different
                 nonnegative components. Experimental results
                 demonstrate that the proposed algorithms can improve
                 the factorization quality over the recent
                 state-of-the-arts. The effectiveness of the proposed

                 sequencing CLIP-seq datasets. In addition, time
                 complexity analysis and parameter analysis are

  abstract =     "MicroRNAs miRNAs play critical roles in regulating
                 gene expression at post-transcriptional levels.
                 Numerous experimental studies indicate that alterations
                 and dysregulations in miRNAs are associated with
                 important complex diseases, especially cancers.
                 Predicting potential miRNA-disease association is
                 beneficial not only to explore the pathogenesis of
                 diseases, but also to understand biological processes.
                 In this work, we propose two methods that can
                 effectively predict potential miRNA-disease
                 associations using our reconstructed miRNA and disease
                 similarity networks, which are based on the latest
                 experimental data. We reconstruct a miRNA functional
                 similarity network using the following biological
                 information: the miRNA family information, miRNA
                 cluster information, experimentally valid miRNA-target
                 association and disease-miRNA information. We also
                 reconstruct a disease similarity network using disease
                 functional information and disease semantic
                 information. We present Katz with specific weights and
                 Katz with machine learning, on the comprehensive
                 heterogeneous network. These methods, which achieve
                 corresponding AUC values of 0.897 and 0.919, exhibit
                 performance superior to the existing methods.
                 Comprehensive data networks and reasonable
                 considerations guarantee the high performance of our
                 methods. Contrary to several methods, which cannot work
                 in such situations, the proposed methods also predict
                 associations for diseases without any known related
                 miRNAs. A web service for the download and prediction
                 of relationships between diseases and miRNAs is

                 methods achieve the state-of-the-art performance in
                 these fields. However, the widely used sequence

                 deterministic cell cycle models is challenging for
                 several reasons, including the nature of what can be
                 observed, and the accuracy and quantity of those
                 observations. The challenge is even greater for
                 stochastic models, where the number of simulations and
                 amount of empirical data must be even larger to obtain
                 statistically valid parameter estimates. The two main

                 parameter estimation based on directly matching
                 multivariate probability distributions, and 2 a new

                 objective function value samples rather than creating
                 ensemble statistics. QNSTOP is used here to directly
                 match empirical and simulated joint probability

                 one-dimensional distributions from empirical data, but
                 do not match well the empirical joint distributions.

                 cancer classification and gene selection are closely
                 related. Successfully selecting informative genes will
                 significantly improve the classification performance.
                 To identify informative genes from a large number of
                 candidate genes, various methods have been proposed.
                 However, the gene expression data may include some
                 important correlation structures, and some of the genes
                 can be divided into different groups based on their
                 biological pathways. Many existing methods do not take
                 into consideration the exact correlation structure
                 within the data. Therefore, from both the knowledge
                 discovery and biological perspectives, an ideal gene
                 selection method should take this structural
                 information into account. Moreover, the better
                 generalization performance can be obtained by
                 discovering correlation structure within data. In order
                 to discover structure information among data and
                 improve learning performance, we propose a structured
                 penalized logistic regression model which
                 simultaneously performs feature selection and model
                 learning for gene expression data analysis. An
                 efficient coordinate descent algorithm has been
                 developed to optimize the model. The numerical
                 simulation studies demonstrate that our method is able
                 to select the highly correlated features. In addition,
                 the results from real gene expression datasets show
                 that the proposed method performs competitively with
                 respect to previous approaches.",

                 usually incur in costly procedures, and they present
                 problems to describe sudden changes in TF regulators.
                 In this paper, we present a switched dynamical latent
                 force model for reverse-engineering transcriptional
                 regulation in gene expression data which allows the
                 exact inference over latent TF activities driving some
                 observed gene expressions through a linear differential
                 equation. To deal with discontinuities in the dynamics,
                 we introduce an approach that switches between
                 different TF activities and different dynamical
                 systems. This creates a versatile representation of
                 transcription networks that can capture discrete
                 changes and non-linearities. We evaluate our model on
                 both simulated data and real data e.g., microaerobic
                 shift in E. coli, yeast respiration, concluding that
                 our framework allows for the fitting of the expression
                 data while being able to infer continuous-time TF
                 profiles.",

  abstract =     "Pathway similarity search plays a vital role in the
                 post-genomics era. Unfortunately, pathway similarity
                 search involves the graph isomorphism problem which is
                 NP-complete. Therefore, efficient search algorithms are
                 desirable. In this work, we propose a novel global
                 pathway similarity search approach named ToBio, which
                 considers both topological and biological features for
                 effective global pathway similarity search.
                 Specifically, as motivated from nature, various
                 topological and biological features including subgraph
                 signature similarities, sequence similarities, and gene
                 ontology similarities are considered in ToBio. Since
                 different features carry different functional
                 importance and dependences, we report three schemes of
                 ToBio using different sets of features. In addition, to
                 enhance the existing search algorithms for rigorous
                 comparisons, post-processing pipelines are also
                 proposed to investigate how different features can
                 contribute to the search performance. ToBio and other
                 state-of-the-art methods are benchmarked on the
                 gold-standard pathway datasets from three species. The
                 results demonstrate the competitive edges of ToBio over
                 the state-of-the-arts ranging from the topological
                 aspects to the biological aspects. Case studies have
                 been conducted to reveal mechanistic insights into the
                 unique search performance of ToBio.",

                 in combinatorial optimization, where the ``optimal''
                 structure is driven by an energy-minimization-like
                 algorithm. However, the actual structure may not be
                 optimal in this computational sense. Moreover, it is
                 not necessarily unique. Therefore, alternative
                 sub-optimal solutions are needed to cover the
                 biological ground. We present a combinatorial
                 formulation for the Multiple RNA Interaction problem
                 with approximation algorithms to handle various
                 interaction patterns, which when combined with Gibbs
                 sampling and Markov Chain Monte Carlo MCMC, can
                 efficiently generate a reasonable number of optimal and
                 sub-optimal solutions. When viable structures are far
                 from an optimal solution, exploring dependence among
                 different parts of the interaction can increase their
                 score and boost their candidacy for the sampling
                 algorithm. By clustering the solutions, we identify a

                 for phylogenetic trees, we propose a novel bootstrap
                 method to define support for gene duplication and
                 speciation events. By comparing bootstrap gene trees to
                 the original gene tree, we calculate support for
                 evolutionary events. While this approach can be used to
                 annotate orthology and paralogy, we show how it can be
                 used to verify the reliability of tree reconciliation.
                 We propose a linear time algorithm for the computation
                 of bootstrap values, and we show the correspondence of
                 our method with the classical non-parametric
                 bootstrapping. Finally, we present two computational
                 experiments. In the first one, based on simulated data
                 and nine yeast genomes, we show a comparative study of
                 several tree rooting methods and evaluation of their

                 the parsimonious host-symbiont tree reconciliation
                 method under editing or small perturbations of the
                 input. The editing involves making different choices of
                 unique symbiont mapping to a host in the case where
                 multiple associations exist. This is made necessary by
                 the fact that the tree reconciliation model is
                 currently unable to handle such associations. The
                 analysis performed could however also address the
                 problem of errors. The perturbations are re-rootings of
                 the symbiont tree to deal with a possibly wrong
                 placement of the root specially in the case of
                 fast-evolving species. In order to do this robustness
                 analysis, we introduce a simulation scheme specifically

  abstract =     "``Metagenomics'' is the study of genomic sequences
                 obtained directly from environmental microbial
                 communities with the aim to linking their structures
                 with functional roles. The field has been aided in the
                 unprecedented advancement through high-throughput omics
                 data sequencing. The outcome of sequencing are
                 biologically rich data sets. Metagenomic data
                 consisting of microbial species which outnumber
                 microbial samples, lead to the ``curse of
                 dimensionality'' in datasets. Hence, the focus in
                 metagenomics studies has moved towards developing
                 efficient computational models using Machine Learning
                 ML, reducing the computational cost. In this paper, we
                 comprehensively assessed various ML approaches to
                 classifying high-dimensional human microbiota
                 effectively into their functional phenotypes. We
                 propose the application of embedded feature selection
                 methods, namely, Extreme Gradient Boosting and
                 Penalized Logistic Regression to determine important
                 microbial species. The resultant feature set enhanced
                 the performance of one of the most popular
                 state-of-the-art methods, Random Forest RF over
                 metagenomic studies. Experimental results indicate that
                 the proposed method achieved best results in terms of
                 accuracy, area under the Receiver Operating
                 Characteristic curve ROC-AUC, and major improvement in

                 selection methods of filters or wrappers over RF and
                 classifiers such as Support Vector Machine SVM, Extreme

                 three stages: contigs extension, scaffolding, and gap
                 filling. The scaffolding method is an essential step
                 during the process to infer the direction and sequence
                 relationships between the contigs. However, scaffolding
                 still faces the challenges of uneven sequencing depth,

                 often leads to many false relationships between

                 which is on the basis of path extension
                 Loose-Strict-Loose strategy and contig error
                 correction, called iLSLS. iLSLS helps reduce the false

                 of subsequent steps. iLSLS utilizes a scoring function,
                 which estimates the correctness of candidate paths by
                 the distribution of paired reads, and try to conduction
                 the extension with the path which is scored the
                 highest. What's more, iLSLS can precisely estimate the
                 gap size. We conduct experiments on two real datasets,
                 and the results show that LSLS strategy is efficient to
                 increase the correctness of scaffolds, and iLSLS

  abstract =     "Hot spot residues bring into play the vital function
                 in bioinformatics to find new medications such as drug
                 design. However, current datasets are predominately
                 composed of non-hot spots with merely a tiny percentage
                 of hot spots. Conventional hot spots prediction methods
                 may face great challenges towards the problem of
                 imbalance training samples. This paper presents a
                 classification method combining with random forest
                 classification and oversampling strategy to improve the
                 training performance. A strategy with an oversampling
                 ability is used to generate hot spots data to balance
                 the given training set. Random forest classification is
                 then invoked to generate a set of forest trees for this
                 oversampled training set. The final prediction
                 performance can be computed recursively after the
                 oversampling and training process. This proposed method
                 is capable of randomly selecting features and
                 constructing a robust random forest to avoid
                 overfitting the training set. Experimental results from
                 three data sets indicate that the performance of hot
                 spots prediction has been significantly improved
                 compared with existing classification methods.",

                 regulatory network because of insufficient sample sizes

                 world. To find effective therapies for this cancer, it
                 is indispensable to identify key genes, which may play
                 critical roles in the incidence of the liver cancer. To
                 identify key genes of the liver cancer with high
                 accuracy, we integrated multiple microarray gene
                 expression data sets to compute common differentially
                 expressed genes, which will result more accurate than
                 those from individual data set. To find the main
                 functions or pathways that these genes are involved in,
                 some enrichment analyses were performed including
                 functional enrichment analysis, pathway enrichment
                 analysis, and disease association study. Based on these
                 genes, a protein-protein interaction network was
                 constructed and analyzed to identify key genes of the
                 liver cancer by combining the local and global
                 influence of nodes in the network. The identified key
                 genes, such as TOP2A, ESR1, and KMO, have been
                 demonstrated to be key biomarkers of the liver cancer

                 method can effectively identify key genes of the liver
                 cancer. Moreover, our method can be applied to other

                 data are helpful for diagnosing cancer. Many attempts
                 have been made to analyze these data; however, new
                 methods are needed to obtain better results. In this
                 study, a Complex Network CN classifier was exploited to
                 implement the classification task. An algorithm was
                 used to initialize the structure, which allowed input
                 variables to be selected over layered connections and
                 different activation functions for different nodes.
                 Then, a hybrid method integrated the Genetic
                 Programming and the Particle Swarm Optimization
                 algorithms was used to identify an optimal structure
                 with the parameters encoded in the classifier. The
                 single CN classifier and an ensemble of CN classifiers
                 were tested on four bench data sets. To ensure
                 diversity of the ensemble classifiers, we constructed a
                 base classifier using different feature sets, i.e.,
                 Pearson's correlation, Spearman's correlation,
                 euclidean distance, Cosine coefficient, and the
                 Fisher-ratio. The experimental results suggest that a
                 single classifier can be used to obtain
                 state-of-the-art results and the ensemble yielded
                 better results.",

                 important function in a number of cellular processes,
                 including signal transduction, post-translational
                 modifications, apoptosis, and cell growth. Deregulation
                 of PPIs will lead to many diseases, including
                 pernicious anemia or cancers. Although a large number
                 of high-throughput techniques are designed to generate
                 PPIs data, they are generally expensive, inefficient,
                 and labor-intensive. Hence, there is an urgent need for
                 developing a computational method to accurately and
                 rapidly detect PPIs. In this article, we proposed a
                 highly efficient method to detect PPIs by integrating a
                 new protein sequence substitution matrix feature
                 representation and ensemble weighted sparse

                 demonstrated on Saccharomyces cerevisiae dataset and
                 achieved 99.26 percent prediction accuracy with 98.53
                 percent sensitivity at precision of 100 percent, which
                 is shown to have much higher predictive accuracy than
                 the state-of-the-art methods. Extensive contrast
                 experiments are performed with the benchmark data set
                 from Human and Helicobacter pylori that our proposed
                 method can achieve outstanding better success rates
                 than other existing approaches in this problem.
                 Experiment results illustrate that our proposed method
                 presents an economical approach for computational
                 building of PPI networks, which can be a helpful

                 dependency can answer important questions on
                 relationships between variables, for example, in
                 discovery of molecular interactions in biological
                 systems. However, when one has no prior information
                 about the functional form of a directional association,
                 there is not a widely established statistical procedure
                 to detect such an association. To address this issue,
                 here we introduce an exact functional test for
                 directional association by examining the strength of
                 functional dependency. It is effective in promoting
                 functional patterns by reducing statistical power on
                 dependent non-functional patterns. We designed an
                 algorithm to carry out the test using a fast
                 branch-and-bound strategy, which achieved a substantial
                 speedup over brute-force enumeration. On data from an
                 epidemiological study of liver cancer, the test
                 identified the hepatitis status of a subject as the
                 most influential risk factor among others for the
                 cancer phenotype. On human lung cancer transcriptome
                 data, the test selected 1068 transcription start sites
                 of putative noncoding RNAs directionally associated
                 with the presence or absence of lung cancer, stronger
                 than 95 percent transcription start sites of 694
                 curated cancer genes. These predictions include
                 non-monotonic interaction patterns, to which other
                 routine tests were insensitive. Complementing symmetric
                 non-directional association methods such as Fisher's
                 exact test, the exact functional test is a unique exact
                 statistical test for evaluating evidence for causal
                 relationships.",

                 of sequencing data, with greatly reduced cost and
                 increased throughput. This huge explosion of data has
                 introduced new challenges in regard to its storage,
                 integration, processing, and analyses. In this paper,
                 we have proposed a novel distributed model under
                 Map-Reduce paradigm to address the NGS big data
                 problem. The architecture of the model involves
                 Map-Reduce based modularized approach involving three
                 different phases that support various analytical
                 pipelines. The first phase will generate detailed base
                 level information of various individual genomes, by
                 granulating the alignment data. The other two phases
                 independently process this base level information in
                 parallel. One of these two phases will provide an
                 integrated DNA profile of multiple individuals, whereas
                 the other phase will generate contigs with similar
                 features in an individual. Each of these three phases
                 will generate a repository of genomic information that
                 will facilitate other analytical pipelines. A simulated
                 and real experimental prototypes has been provided as
                 results to show the effectiveness of the model and its
                 superiority over a few existing popular models and

                 number of patients from receiving unnecessary adjuvant
                 systemic treatment and its related expensive medical
                 costs. Previous work relies mostly on selected gene

                 interaction of an entire organ with other body parts.
                 Through combination of three state-of-the-art
                 algorithms, the simulation time is decreased with
                 multiple orders of magnitude. First: PSP modelling
                 exploits the fact that a lot of the cells behave
                 identically at the same time which results in multiple
                 orders of magnitude speed-up. The second speed-up is

                 differential equation solver which allows big
                 time-stepping by trading off speed with precision. The
                 third speed-up is due to the fact that the framework is

                 for a second order nonlinear model of the interaction
                 between cancer and immune cells of the body to control
                 the growth of cancer and maintain the number of immune
                 cells in an appropriate level. Up to now, most of the
                 control approaches are based on minimizing the drug
                 dosage based on an optimal control structure. However,
                 in many cases, measuring the exact quantity of the
                 model parameters is not possible. This is due to
                 limitation in measuring devices, variational and
                 undetermined characteristics of micro-environmental
                 factors and the variable nature of parameters during
                 the growth and treatment phases of cancer. It is of
                 great importance to present a control strategy that can
                 deal with these variables and unknown factors in a
                 nonlinear model. Adaptive control is a suitable choice
                 to achieve this goal. We assume linear uncertainties
                 for the model parameters and employ a sliding term for
                 updating the estimated parameters and the control
                 signals. Moreover, due to difficulties in measuring the
                 number of immune cells in biological experiments, an
                 estimation technique is applied to infer this value.
                 The convergence of the estimated number of immune cells
                 to the actual value is shown. The stability and
                 convergence of the number of cancer and immune cells to
                 the specified target values are also proved using a
                 time-varying Lyapunov function. Finally, we have shown
                 the performance of the proposed control strategy in the
                 context of various computational results.",

  abstract =     "Bioimage classification is increasingly becoming more
                 important in many biological studies including those
                 that require accurate cell phenotype recognition,
                 subcellular localization, and histopathological
                 classification. In this paper, we present a new General
                 Purpose GenP bioimage classification method that can be
                 applied to a large range of classification problems.
                 The GenP system we propose is an ensemble that combines
                 multiple texture features both handcrafted and learned
                 descriptors for superior and generalizable
                 discriminative power. Our ensemble obtains a boosting
                 of performance by combining local features, dense
                 sampling features, and deep learning features. Each
                 descriptor is used to train a different Support Vector
                 Machine that is then combined by sum rule. We evaluate
                 our method on a diverse set of bioimage classification
                 tasks each represented by a benchmark database,
                 including some of those available in the IICBU 2008
                 database. Each bioimage classification task represents
                 a typical subcellular, cellular, and tissue level
                 classification problem. Our evaluation on these
                 datasets demonstrates that the proposed GenP bioimage
                 ensemble obtains state-of-the-art performance without
                 any ad-hoc dataset tuning of the parameters thereby
                 avoiding any risk of overfitting/overtraining. To
                 reproduce the experiments reported in this paper, the
                 MATLAB code of all the descriptors is available at

                 read datasets drives a need for new faster read
                 mappers. One class of read mappers, called all-mappers,
                 is designed to identify all mapping locations of each
                 read. Many all-mappers have been developed over the
                 past few years, but they are either time-consuming or
                 memory-consuming. Here, we present BitMapper2, a
                 GPU-accelerated read mapper that reports all mapping
                 locations of NGS reads. To make full use of the
                 parallel processing capability of GPUs, BitMapper2
                 proposes the sparse q-gram index, which reduces the
                 memory requirement and the data transfer time between
                 GPU and CPU. We also design the filtration part and the
                 verification part of BitMapper2 specifically for the
                 architecture of GPU. In addition, BitMapper2 is still
                 time-efficient and memory-efficient even if there is no
                 GPU available. Experiments show that BitMapper2 was

  abstract =     "The subtree prune-and-regraft SPR distance metric is a
                 fundamental way of comparing evolutionary trees. It has
                 wide-ranging applications, such as to study lateral
                 genetic transfer, viral recombination, and Markov chain
                 Monte Carlo phylogenetic inference. Although the rooted
                 version of SPR distance can be computed relatively
                 efficiently between rooted trees using
                 fixed-parameter-tractable maximum agreement forest MAF
                 algorithms, no MAF formulation is known for the
                 unrooted case. Correspondingly, previous algorithms are
                 unable to compute unrooted SPR distances larger than 7.
                 In this paper, we substantially advance understanding
                 of and computational algorithms for the unrooted SPR
                 distance. First, we identify four properties of optimal
                 SPR paths, each of which suggests that no MAF
                 formulation exists in the unrooted case. Then, we
                 introduce the replug distance, a new lower bound on the
                 unrooted SPR distance that is amenable to MAF methods,
                 and give an efficient fixed-parameter algorithm for
                 calculating it. Finally, we develop a ``progressive
                 A*'' search algorithm using multiple heuristics,
                 including the TBR and replug distances, to exactly
                 compute the unrooted SPR distance. Our algorithm is
                 nearly two orders of magnitude faster than previous
                 methods on small trees, and allows computation of
                 unrooted SPR distances as large as 14 on trees with 50
                 leaves.",

                 networks and a constructed gene network with 9,241
                 nodes for Arabidopsis thaliana, we classified nodes
                 into five categories via their roles in control or node
                 deletion, including indispensable, neutral,
                 dispensable, driver, and critical driver nodes. The
                 indispensable nodes can increase the number of drivers
                 after deletion, which are never drivers or critical
                 drivers. About 10 percent of nodes are indispensable.
                 However, more than 60 percent of nodes are neutral
                 ones. More than 62 percent of nodes are drivers, which
                 indicates the gene network is very difficult to be
                 fully controlled. Gene Ontology GO enrichment analysis
                 reveals that different sets of nodes have preferred
                 biological functions and processes. The indispensable
                 nodes are significantly enriched as essential genes,
                 drought responsive and abscisic acid ABA independent
                 genes, transcriptional factors TFs, core cell cycle
                 genes, and ABA and Gibberellin GA related genes. The
                 critical drivers are enriched as receptor kinase-like
                 genes, while shorted in WRKY TFs and functional genes
                 that are enriched in the indispensable nodes.
                 Robustness analysis based on node and edge additions,
                 edge rewiring indicate the obtained conclusions are
                 robust to network perturbations. Our investigations

                 from experimental data often express nondeterminism by
                 proposing an ensemble of candidate models with similar
                 properties. To further discriminate among these model
                 candidates, new experiments need to be carried out.
                 Theoretically, the number of possible experiments is
                 exponential in the number of possible perturbations. In
                 praxis, experiments are expensive and usually there
                 exist several constraints limiting which experiments
                 can be performed. Limiting factors may exist on the
                 combinations of perturbations that are technically
                 possible, which components can be measured, and
                 limitations on the number of affordable experiments.
                 Further, not all experiments are equally well suited to
                 discriminate model candidates. Therefore, the goal of
                 optimal experiment design is to determine those
                 experiments that discriminate most of the candidates
                 while minimizing the costs. We present an approach for
                 experiment planning with interaction graph models and
                 sign consistency methods. This new approach can be used
                 in combination with methods for network inference and
                 consistency checking. The proposed method determines
                 experiments which are most suitable to deliver results
                 that reduce the number of candidate models. We applied
                 our method to study the Erythropoietin signal
                 transduction in human kidney cells HEK293. We first
                 used simulated experiment data from an ODE model to
                 demonstrate in silico that our experimental design
                 results in the inference of the gold standard model.
                 Finally, we used the approach to plan in vivo
                 experiments that enabled us to discriminate model
                 candidates for the Erythropoietin signal transduction

                 of 392 eligible patients from 710 men with prostate
                 cancer or benign prostatic hyperplasia between 2000 and

                 analysis of variance, and t test were used to analyze

                 According to the established decision tree model,

                 No additional index was introduced, and the detection

  abstract =     "With the rapid development of biomedicine, the number
                 of biomedical articles has increased accordingly, which
                 presents a great challenge for biologists trying to
                 keep up with the latest research. Information retrieval
                 seeks to meet this challenge by searching among a large
                 number of articles based on given queries and providing
                 the most relevant ones to fulfill information needs. As
                 an effective information retrieval technique, query
                 expansion has some room for improvement to achieve the
                 desired performance when directly applied for
                 biomedical information retrieval because there exist
                 many domain-related terms both in users' queries and in
                 related articles. To solve this problem, we propose a
                 biomedical query expansion framework based on
                 learning-to-rank methods, in which we refine candidate
                 expansion terms by training term-ranking models to
                 select the most relevant terms. To train the
                 term-ranking models, we first propose a
                 pseudo-relevance feedback method based on MeSH to
                 select candidate expansion terms and then represent the
                 candidate terms as feature vectors by defining both the
                 corpus-based term features and the resource-based term
                 features. Experimental results obtained for TREC
                 genomics datasets show that our method can capture more
                 relevant terms to expand the original query and
                 effectively improve biomedical information retrieval
                 performance.",

  abstract =     "The problem of identifying protein complexes in
                 Protein-Protein Interaction PPI networks is usually
                 formulated as the problem of identifying dense regions
                 in such networks. In this paper, we present a novel
                 approach, called TBPCI, to identify protein complexes
                 based instead on the concept of a measure of
                 boundedness. Such a measure is defined as an objective
                 function of a Jaccard Index-based connectedness measure
                 which takes into consideration how much two proteins
                 within a network are connected to each other, and an
                 association measure which takes into consideration how
                 much two connecting proteins are associated based on
                 their attributes found in the Gene Ontology database.
                 Based on the above two measures, the objective function
                 is derived to capture how strong the proteins can be
                 considered as bounded together and the objective value
                 is therefore referred as the aggregated degree of
                 boundedness. To identify protein complexes, TBPCI
                 computes the degree of boundedness between all possible
                 pairwise proteins. Then, TBPCI uses a
                 Breadth-First-Search method to determine whether a
                 protein-pair should be incorporated into the same
                 complex. TBPCI has been tested with several real data
                 sets and the experimental results show it is an
                 effective approach for identifying protein complexes in
                 PPI networks.",

                 generate missing values, which impedes further
                 downstream biological analysis. Therefore, it is key to
                 estimate the missing values accurately. Most of the
                 existing imputation methods tend to suffer from the
                 over-fitting problem. In this study, we propose two
                 regularized local learning methods for microarray
                 missing value imputation. Motivated by the grouping
                 effect of $ L_2 $ regularization, after selecting the
                 target gene, we train an $ L_2 $ Regularized Local
                 Least Squares imputation model RLLSimpute_L2 on the
                 target gene and its neighbors to estimate the missing
                 values of the target gene. Furthermore, RLLSimpute_L2
                 imputes the missing values in an ascending order based
                 on the associated missing rate with each target gene.
                 This contributes to fully utilizing the previously
                 estimated values. Besides $ L_2 $, we further explore $
                 L_1 $ regularization and propose an $ L_1 $ Regularized
                 Local Least Squares imputation model RLLSimpute_L1. To
                 evaluate their effectiveness, we conducted extensive
                 experimental studies on six benchmark datasets covering
                 both time series and non-time series cases. Nine
                 state-of-the-art imputation methods are compared with
                 RLLSimpute_L2 and RLLSimpute_L1 in terms of three
                 performance metrics. The comparative experimental
                 results indicate that RLLSimpute_L2 outperforms its
                 competitors by achieving smaller imputation errors and
                 better structure preservation of differentially

  abstract =     "In computational biology, the hierarchy of biological
                 systems requires the development of flexible and
                 powerful computational tools. Graphics processing unit
                 GPU architecture has been a suitable device for
                 parallel computing in simulating multi-cellular
                 systems. However, in modeling complex biological
                 systems, scientists often face two tasks, mathematical
                 formulation and skillful programming. In particular,
                 specific programming skills are needed for GPU
                 programming. Therefore, the development of an
                 easy-to-use computational architecture, which utilizes
                 GPU for parallel computing and provides intuitive
                 interfaces for simple implementation, is needed so that
                 general scientists can perform GPU simulations without
                 knowing much about the GPU architecture. Here, we
                 introduce ParaCells, a cell-centered GPU simulation
                 architecture for NVIDIA compute unified device
                 architecture CUDA. ParaCells was designed as a
                 versatile architecture that connects the user logic in
                 C++ with NVIDIA CUDA runtime and is specific to the
                 modeling of multi-cellular systems. An advantage of
                 ParaCells is its object-oriented model declaration,
                 which allows it to be widely applied to many biological
                 systems through the combination of basic biological
                 concepts. We test ParaCells with two applications. Both
                 applications are significantly faster when compared
                 with sequential as well as parallel OpenMP and OpenACC
                 implementations. Moreover, the simulation programs
                 based on ParaCells are cleaner and more readable than
                 other versions.",

  abstract =     "The intra-cellular calcium signaling pathways of a
                 neuron depends on both biochemical reactions and
                 diffusions. Some quasi-isolated compartments e.g.,
                 spines are so small and calcium concentrations are so
                 low that one extra molecule diffusing in by chance can
                 make a nontrivial difference in concentration
                 percentage-wise. These rare events can affect dynamics
                 discretely in such a way that they cannot be evaluated
                 by a deterministic and continuous simulation.
                 Stochastic models of such a system provide a more
                 detailed understanding of these systems than existing
                 deterministic models because they capture their
                 behavior at a molecular level. Our research focuses on
                 the development of a high performance parallel discrete
                 event simulation environment, Neuron Time Warp NTW,
                 which is intended for use in the parallel simulation of
                 stochastic reaction-diffusion systems such as
                 intra-calcium signaling. NTW is integrated with NEURON,
                 a simulator which is widely used within the
                 neuroscience community. We simulate two models, a
                 calcium buffer and a calcium wave model. The calcium
                 buffer model is employed in order to verify the
                 correctness and performance of NTW by comparing it to a
                 sequential deterministic simulation in NEURON. We also
                 derived a discrete event calcium wave model from a

                 structure prediction and sequence alignment. Existing
                 methods for Psi-Phi angle prediction have significant

                 residual inception network architecture, called
                 DeepRIN, is proposed for the prediction of Psi-Phi
                 angles. The input to DeepRIN is a feature matrix
                 representing a composition of physico-chemical
                 properties of amino acids, a 20-dimensional
                 position-specific substitution matrix PSSM generated by
                 PSI-BLAST, a 30-dimensional hidden Markov Model
                 sequence profile generated by HHBlits, and predicted
                 eight-state secondary structure features. DeepRIN is
                 designed based on inception networks and residual
                 networks that have performed well on image
                 classification and text recognition. The architecture
                 of DeepRIN enables effective encoding of local and
                 global interactions between amino acids in a protein
                 sequence to achieve accurate prediction. Extensive
                 experimental results show that DeepRIN outperformed the
                 best existing tools significantly. Compared to the
                 recently released state-of-the-art tool, SPIDER3,
                 DeepRIN reduced the Psi angle prediction error by more
                 than 5 degrees and the Phi angle prediction error by
                 more than 2 degrees on average. The executable tool of
                 DeepRIN is available for download at

                 recently introduced a new microphysiological system for
                 growing vascularized, perfused microtissues that more
                 accurately models human physiology and is suitable for
                 large drug screens. In this work, we develop a machine
                 learning model that can quickly and accurately flag
                 compounds which effectively disrupt vascular networks
                 from images taken before and after drug application in
                 vitro. The system is based on a convolutional neural
                 network and achieves near perfect accuracy while
                 committing potentially no expensive false negatives.",

                 the sequencing and de novo assembly of an organisms
                 transcriptome is an affordable means by which to
                 characterize the coding component of its genome.
                 Despite the advances that have made this possible,
                 assembling a transcriptome without a known reference
                 usually results in a collection of full-length and
                 partial gene transcripts. The downstream analysis of
                 genes represented as partial transcripts then often
                 requires further experimental work in the laboratory in
                 order to obtain full-length sequences. We have explored
                 whether partial transcripts, encoding genes of interest
                 present in de novo assembled transcriptomes of a model
                 and non-model insect species, could be further extended
                 by iterative mapping against the raw transcriptome
                 sequencing reads. Partial sequences encoding cytochrome
                 P450s and carboxyl/cholinesterase were used in this
                 analysis, because they are large multigene families and
                 exhibit significant variation in expression. We present
                 an effective method to improve the contiguity of
                 partial transcripts in silico that, in the absence of a

                 alternative to their extension by laboratory

  abstract =     "Gene dependency networks often undergo changes with
                 respect to different disease states. Understanding how
                 these networks rewire between two different disease
                 states is an important task in genomic research.
                 Although many computational methods have been proposed
                 to undertake this task via differential network
                 analysis, most of them are designed for a predefined
                 data type. With the development of the high throughput
                 technologies, gene activity measurements can be
                 collected from different aspects e.g., mRNA expression
                 and DNA mutation. These different data types might
                 share some common characteristics and include certain
                 unique properties of data type. New methods are needed
                 to explore the similarity and difference between
                 differential networks estimated from different data
                 types. In this study, we develop a new differential
                 network inference model which identifies gene network
                 rewiring by combining gene expression and gene mutation
                 data. Similarities and differences between different
                 data types are learned via a group bridge penalty
                 function. Simulation studies have demonstrated that our
                 method consistently outperforms the competing methods.
                 We also apply our method to identify gene network
                 rewiring associated with ovarian cancer platinum
                 resistance from The Cancer Genome Atlas data. There are
                 certain differential edges common to both data types
                 and some differential edges unique to individual data
                 types. Hub genes in the differential networks inferred
                 by our method play important roles in ovarian cancer
                 drug resistance.",

  abstract =     "Biological networks provide great potential to
                 understand how cells function. Motifs are topological
                 patterns which are repeated frequently in a specific
                 network. Network motifs are key structures through
                 which biological networks operate. However, counting
                 independent i.e., non-overlapping instances of a
                 specific motif remains to be a computationally hard
                 problem. Motif counting problem becomes computationally
                 even harder for biological networks as biological
                 interactions are uncertain events. The main challenge
                 behind this problem is that different embeddings of a
                 given motif in a network can share edges. Such edges
                 can create complex computational dependencies between
                 different instances of the given motif when considering
                 uncertainty of those edges. In this paper, we develop a
                 novel algorithm for counting independent instances of a
                 specific motif topology in probabilistic biological
                 networks. We present a novel mathematical model to
                 capture the dependency between each embedding and all
                 the other embeddings, which it overlaps with. We prove
                 the correctness of this model. We evaluate our model on
                 real and synthetic networks with different probability,
                 and topology models as well as reasonable range of
                 network sizes. Our results demonstrate that our method

                 a broad range of networks.",

                 reconstructing an unknown genome from a large
                 collection of short or long reads sequenced from the
                 genome. A single run of a Next-Generation Sequencing
                 NGS technology can produce billions of short reads,
                 making genome assembly computationally demanding both
                 in terms of memory and time. One of the major
                 computational steps in modern day short read assemblers
                 involves the construction and use of a string data
                 structure called the de Bruijn graph. In fact, a
                 majority of short read assemblers build the complete de
                 Bruijn graph for the set of input reads, and
                 subsequently traverse and prune low-quality edges, in
                 order to generate genomic ``contigs''-the output of
                 assembly. These steps of graph construction and
                 traversal, contribute to well over 90 percent of the
                 runtime and memory. In this paper, we present a fast
                 algorithm, FastEtch, that uses sketching to build an
                 approximate version of the de Bruijn graph for the
                 purpose of generating an assembly. The algorithm uses
                 Count-Min sketch, which is a probabilistic data
                 structure for streaming data sets. The result is an
                 approximate de Bruijn graph that stores information
                 pertaining only to a selected subset of nodes that are
                 most likely to contribute to the contig generation
                 step. In addition, edges are not stored; instead that
                 fraction which contribute to our contig generation are
                 detected on-the-fly. This approximate approach is
                 intended to significantly improve performance both
                 execution time and memory footprint whilst possibly
                 compromising on the output assembly quality. We present
                 two main versions of the assembler-one that generates
                 an assembly, where each contig represents a contiguous
                 genomic region from one strand of the DNA, and another
                 that generates an assembly, where the contigs can
                 straddle either of the two strands of the DNA. For
                 further scalability, we have implemented a
                 multi-threaded parallel code. Experimental results
                 using our algorithm conducted on E. coli, Yeast, C.
                 elegans, and Human Chr2 and Chr2+3 genomes show that
                 our method yields one of the best time-memory-quality
                 trade-offs, when compared against many state-of-the-art

  abstract =     "High-throughput sequencing techniques have generated
                 massive quantities of genotype data. Haplotype phasing
                 has proven to be a useful and effective method for
                 analyzing these data. However, the quality of phasing
                 is undermined due to missing information. Imputation
                 provides an effective means of improving the underlying
                 genotype information. For model organisms, imputation
                 can rely on an available reference genotype panel and a
                 physical or genetic map. For non-model organisms, which
                 often do not have a genotype panel, it is important to
                 design an imputation technique that does not rely on
                 reference data. Here, we present Accurate Data-Driven
                 Imputation Technique ADDIT, which is composed of two
                 data-driven algorithms capable of handling data
                 generated from model and non-model organisms. The
                 non-model variant of ADDIT referred to as ADDIT-NM
                 employs statistical inference methods to impute missing
                 genotypes, whereas the model variant referred to as
                 ADDIT-M leverages a supervised learning-based approach
                 for imputation. We demonstrate that both variants of
                 ADDIT are more accurate, faster, and require less
                 memory than leading state-of-the-art imputation tools
                 using model human and non-model maize, apple, and grape
                 genotype data. Software Availability: The source code

  abstract =     "Counting and indexing fixed length substrings, or
                 $k$-mers, in biological sequences is a key step in many
                 bioinformatics tasks including genome alignment and
                 mapping, genome assembly, and error correction. While
                 advances in next generation sequencing technologies
                 have dramatically reduced the cost and improved latency
                 and throughput, few bioinformatics tools can
                 efficiently process the datasets at the current
                 generation rate of 1.8 terabases per 3-day experiment
                 from a single sequencer. We present Kmerind, a high
                 performance parallel $k$-mer indexing library for
                 distributed memory environments. The Kmerind library
                 provides a set of simple and consistent APIs with
                 sequential semantics and parallel implementations that
                 are designed to be flexible and extensible. Kmerind's
                 $k$-mer counter performs similarly or better than the
                 best existing $k$-mer counting tools even on shared
                 memory systems. In a distributed memory environment,
                 Kmerind counts $k$-mers in a 120 GB sequence read
                 dataset in less than 13 seconds on 1024 Xeon CPU cores,
                 and fully indexes their positions in approximately 17
                 seconds. Querying for 1 percent of the $k$-mers in
                 these indices can be completed in 0.23 seconds and 28
                 seconds, respectively. Kmerind is the first $k$-mer
                 indexing library for distributed memory environments,
                 and the first extensible library for general $k$-mer
                 indexing and counting. Kmerind is available at

  abstract =     "In order to increase the hit rate of discovering
                 diverse, beneficial protein variants via
                 high-throughput screening, we have developed a
                 computational method to optimize combinatorial
                 mutagenesis libraries for overall enrichment in two
                 distinct properties of interest. Given scoring
                 functions for evaluating individual variants, POCoM
                 Pareto Optimal Combinatorial Mutagenesis scores entire
                 libraries in terms of averages over their constituent
                 members, and designs optimal libraries as sets of
                 mutations whose combinations make the best trade-offs
                 between average scores. This represents the first
                 general-purpose method to directly design combinatorial
                 libraries for multiple objectives characterizing their
                 constituent members. Despite being rigorous in mapping
                 out the Pareto frontier, it is also very fast even for
                 very large libraries e.g., designing 30 mutation,
                 billion-member libraries in only hours. We here
                 instantiate POCoM with scores based on a target's
                 protein structure and its homologs' sequences, enabling
                 the design of libraries containing variants balancing
                 these two important yet quite different types of
                 information. We demonstrate POCoM's generality and
                 power in case study applications to green fluorescent
                 protein, cytochrome P450, and $ \beta $-lactamase.
                 Analysis of the POCoM library designs provides insights
                 into the trade-offs between structure- and
                 sequence-based scores, as well as the impacts of
                 experimental constraints on library designs. POCoM
                 libraries incorporate mutations that have previously
                 been found favorable experimentally, while diversifying
                 the contexts in which these mutations are situated and

                 are becoming integral parts of biomedical pipelines, it
                 behooves us to emphasize the reliability of the
                 computational protocol. For any reported quantity of
                 interest QOI, one must also compute and report a
                 measure of the uncertainty or error associated with the
                 QOI. This is especially important in molecular
                 modeling, since in most practical applications the
                 inputs to the computational protocol are often noisy,
                 incomplete, or low-resolution. Unfortunately, currently
                 available modeling tools do not account for
                 uncertainties and their effect on the final QOIs with
                 sufficient rigor. We have developed a statistical
                 framework that expresses the uncertainty of the QOI as
                 the probability that the reported value deviates from
                 the true value by more than some user-defined
                 threshold. First, we provide a theoretical approach
                 where this probability can be bounded using
                 Azuma-Hoeffding like inequalities. Second, we
                 approximate this probability empirically by sampling
                 the space of uncertainties of the input and provide
                 applications of our framework to bound uncertainties of
                 several QOIs commonly used in molecular modeling.
                 Finally, we also present several visualization
                 techniques to effectively and quantitavely visualize
                 the uncertainties: in the input, final QOIs, and also

  abstract =     "Motivation: Identification of spectra produced by a
                 shotgun proteomics mass spectrometry experiment is
                 commonly performed by searching the observed spectra
                 against a peptide database. The heart of this search
                 procedure is a score function that evaluates the
                 quality of a hypothesized match between an observed
                 spectrum and a theoretical spectrum corresponding to a
                 particular peptide sequence. Accordingly, the success
                 of a spectrum analysis pipeline depends critically upon
                 this peptide-spectrum score function. We develop
                 peptide-spectrum score functions that compute the
                 maximum value of a submodular function under $m$
                 matroid constraints. We call this procedure a
                 submodular generalized matching SGM since it
                 generalizes bipartite matching. We use a greedy
                 algorithm to compute maximization, which can achieve a
                 solution whose objective is guaranteed to be at least $
                 \frac {1}{1 + m}$ of the true optimum. The advantage of
                 the SGM framework is that known long-range properties
                 of experimental spectra can be modeled by designing
                 suitable submodular functions and matroid constraints.
                 Experiments on four data sets from various organisms
                 and mass spectrometry platforms show that the SGM
                 approach leads to significantly improved performance
                 compared to several state-of-the-art methods.

                 factors TFs. To address the above two limitations
                 simultaneously, in this paper, we propose a high-order
                 convolutional neural network architecture HOCNN, which
                 employs a high-order encoding method to build
                 high-order dependencies among nucleotides, and a
                 multi-scale convolutional layer to capture the motif
                 features of different length. The experimental results
                 on real ChIP-seq datasets show that the proposed method
                 outperforms the state-of-the-art deep learning method
                 DeepBind in the motif discovery task. In addition, we
                 provide further insights about the importance of
                 introducing additional convolutional kernels and the
                 degeneration problem of importing high-order in the

  abstract =     "ICD-9 the Ninth Revision of International
                 Classification of Diseases is widely used to describe a
                 patient's diagnosis. Accurate automated ICD-9 coding is
                 important because manual coding is expensive,
                 time-consuming, and inefficient. Inspired by the recent
                 successes of deep learning, in this study, we present a
                 deep learning framework called DeepLabeler to
                 automatically assign ICD-9 codes. DeepLabeler combines
                 the convolutional neural network with the 'Document to
                 Vector' technique to extract and encode local and
                 global features. Our proposed DeepLabeler demonstrates
                 its effectiveness by achieving state-of-the-art
                 performance, i.e., 0.335 micro F-measure on MIMIC-II
                 dataset and 0.408 micro F-measure on MIMIC-III dataset.
                 It outperforms classical hierarchy-based SVM and
                 flat-SVM both on these two datasets by at least 14
                 percent. Furthermore, we analyze the deep neural
                 network structure to discover the vital elements in the
                 success of DeepLabeler. We find that the convolutional
                 neural network is the most effective component in our
                 network and the 'Document to Vector' technique is also
                 necessary for enhancing classification performance
                 since it extracts well-recognized global features.
                 Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the
                 great promise of deep learning techniques in the field
                 of text multi-label classification and automated
                 medical coding.",

  abstract =     "As one of the most challenging tasks in sequence
                 analysis, protein remote homology detection has been
                 extensively studied. Methods based on discriminative
                 models and ranking approaches have achieved the
                 state-of-the-art performance, and these two kinds of
                 methods are complementary. In this study, three LSTM
                 models have been applied to construct the predictors
                 for protein remote homology detection, including ULSTM,
                 BLSTM, and CNN-BLSTM. They are able to automatically
                 extract the local and global sequence order
                 information. Combined with PSSMs, the CNN-BLSTM
                 achieved the best performance among the three
                 LSTM-based models. We named this method as
                 CNN-BLSTM-PSSM. Finally, a new method called
                 ProtDet-CCH was proposed by combining CNN-BLSTM-PSSM
                 and a ranking method HHblits. Tested on a widely used
                 SCOP benchmark dataset, ProtDet-CCH achieved an ROC
                 score of 0.998, and an ROC50 score of 0.982,
                 significantly outperforming other existing
                 state-of-the-art methods. Experimental results on two
                 updated SCOPe independent datasets showed that
                 ProtDet-CCH can achieve stable performance.
                 Furthermore, our method can provide useful insights for
                 studying the features and motifs of protein families
                 and superfamilies. It is anticipated that ProtDet-CCH
                 will become a very useful tool for protein remote

                 is a critical factor in the process of gene
                 transcriptional regulation. It recognizes the specific
                 DNA sites and brings the core enzyme of RNA polymerase
                 to the upstream regions of target genes. Therefore, the
                 prediction of the promoters for a particular sigma
                 factor is essential for interpreting functional genomic
                 data and observation. This paper develops a new method
                 to predict sigma-54 promoters in bacterial genomes. The
                 new method organically integrates motif finding and
                 machine learning strategies to capture the intrinsic
                 features of sigma-54 promoters. The experiments on E.

                 applied in many research areas because of their good
                 performance and lower complexity. Traditional methods
                 usually treat all terms with same feature sets, such
                 that performance can be damaged when noisy information
                 is brought via wrong features for a given term. In this
                 paper, we propose a term-based personalization approach
                 to finding the best features for each term. First,
                 features are given as the input so that we focus on
                 selection strategies. Second, the importance of each
                 feature subset to a given term is evaluated by the
                 term-feature probabilistic relevance model. We present
                 a feature searching method to generate feature
                 candidate subsets for each term, since evaluating all
                 the possible feature subsets is computationally
                 intensive. Finally, we obtain the personalized feature
                 set for each term as a subset of all features.
                 Experiments have been conducted on the NICTA Synthetic

                 has been widely used in hepatotoxicity prediction. In

                 researching disease function and medical research. In
                 this paper, we use a high-quality protein interaction
                 network and a collection of pathway databases to
                 construct a Human Pathway-based Disease Network HPDN to
                 explore the relationship between diseases and their
                 intrinsic interactions. We find that the similarity of

                 of their shared functional pathways and the interaction
                 between their related gene sets. Comparing HPDN with

                 expression from undesirable states to desirable ones
                 has received much attention in recent years. Most of
                 the existing methods assume that the cost of
                 intervention at each state and time point, referred to
                 as the immediate cost function, is fully known. In this
                 paper, we employ the Partially-Observed Boolean
                 Dynamical System POBDS signal model for a time sequence
                 of noisy expression measurement from a Boolean GRN and

                 and interventions recorded in an experimental setting

                 the Q-learning algorithm for quantification of the
                 immediate cost function. The performance of the

  abstract =     "Protein methylation, an important post-translational
                 modification, plays crucial roles in many cellular
                 processes. The accurate prediction of protein
                 methylation sites is fundamentally important for
                 revealing the molecular mechanisms undergoing
                 methylation. In recent years, computational prediction
                 based on machine learning algorithms has emerged as a
                 powerful and robust approach for identifying
                 methylation sites, and much progress has been made in
                 predictive performance improvement. However, the
                 predictive performance of existing methods is not
                 satisfactory in terms of overall accuracy. Motivated by
                 this, we propose a novel random-forest-based predictor
                 called MePred-RF, integrating several discriminative
                 sequence-based feature descriptors and improving
                 feature representation capability using a powerful
                 feature selection technique. Importantly, unlike other
                 methods based on multiple, complex information inputs,
                 our proposed MePred-RF is based on sequence information
                 alone. Comparative studies on benchmark datasets via
                 vigorous jackknife tests indicate that our proposed
                 MePred-RF method remarkably outperforms other
                 state-of-the-art predictors, leading by a 4.5 percent
                 average in terms of overall accuracy. A user-friendly
                 webserver that implements the proposed method has been
                 established for researchers' convenience, and is now
                 freely available for public use through
                 http://server.malab.cn/MePred-RF. We anticipate our
                 research tool to be useful for the large-scale
                 prediction and analysis of protein methylation sites.",

                 are considered to be crucial for its survival.
                 Identification of essential genes is therefore of great
                 significance to advance our understanding of the
                 principles of cellular life. We have developed a novel

                 homologous features, protein domain feature, gene
                 intrinsic features, and network topological features.
                 By performing the principal component regression PCR
                 analysis for Escherichia coli MG1655, we established a
                 classification model with the average area under curve
                 AUC value of 0.992 in ten times 5-fold cross-validation

                 distantly related organism-Streptococcus pneumoniae

                 of great significance to clear secretion timely and

  abstract =     "Promoters are DNA regulatory elements located directly
                 upstream or at the 5' end of the transcription
                 initiation site TSS, which are in charge of gene
                 transcription initiation. With the completion of a
                 large number of microorganism genomics, it is urgent to
                 predict promoters accurately in bacteria by using the
                 computational method. In this work, a sequence-based
                 predictor named ``iPro70-PseZNC'' was designed for
                 identifying sigma70 promoters in prokaryote. In the
                 predictor, the samples of DNA sequences are formulated
                 by a novel pseudo nucleotide composition, called
                 PseZNC, into which the multi-window Z-curve composition
                 and six local DNA structural properties are
                 incorporated. In the 5-fold cross-validation, the area
                 under the curve of receiver operating characteristic of
                 0.909 was obtained on our benchmark dataset, indicating
                 that the proposed predictor is promising and will
                 provide an important guide in this area. Further
                 studies showed that the performance of PseZNC is better
                 than it of multi-window Z-curve composition. For the
                 sake of convenience for researchers, a user-friendly
                 online service was established and can be freely
                 accessible at
                 http://lin.uestc.edu.cn/server/iPro70-PseZNC. The
                 PseZNC approach can be also extended to other

                 Therefore, the development of new solutions that can
                 reassure clinical sites by enabling privacy-preserving
                 sharing of sensitive medical data in compliance with
                 stringent regulations e.g., HIPAA, GDPR is now more
                 urgent than ever. In this work, we introduce MedCo, the
                 first operational system that enables a group of
                 clinical sites to federate and collectively protect
                 their data in order to share them with external
                 investigators without worrying about security and
                 privacy concerns. MedCo uses a collective homomorphic
                 encryption to provide trust decentralization and
                 end-to-end confidentiality protection, and b
                 obfuscation techniques to achieve formal notions of

                 Bedside framework, currently used in more than 300
                 hospitals worldwide. Therefore, it is easily adoptable
                 by clinical sites. We demonstrate MedCo's practicality
                 by testing it on data from The Cancer Genome Atlas in a
                 simulated network of three institutions. Its
                 performance is comparable to the ones of SHRINE

                 individual across data sets is a key challenge for
                 data-driven research. The challenge is exacerbated by
                 the potential inclusion of both genomic and clinical
                 data in data sets that may span multiple legal
                 jurisdictions, and by the need to enable
                 re-identification in limited circumstances.
                 Privacy-Preserving Record Linkage PPRL methods address
                 these challenges. In 2016, the Interdisciplinary
                 Committee of the International Rare Diseases Research
                 Consortium IRDiRC launched a task team to explore
                 approaches to PPRL. The task team is a collaboration

                 Regulatory and Ethics and Data Security Work Streams,
                 and aims to prepare policy and technology standards to

                 individual's safety or health, and applicable law
                 allows or requires the return of results. The PPRL Task
                 Force has examined the ethico-legal requirements,
                 constraints, and implications of PPRL, and has applied
                 this knowledge to the exploration of technology methods

  abstract =     "Reconstructing ancestral gene orders in a given
                 phylogeny is a classical problem in comparative
                 genomics. Most existing methods compare conserved
                 features in extant genomes in the phylogeny to define
                 potential ancestral gene adjacencies, and either try to
                 reconstruct all ancestral genomes under a global
                 evolutionary parsimony criterion, or, focusing on a
                 single ancestral genome, use a scaffolding approach to
                 select a subset of ancestral gene adjacencies,
                 generally aiming at reducing the fragmentation of the
                 reconstructed ancestral genome. In this paper, we
                 describe an exact algorithm for the Small Parsimony
                 Problem that combines both approaches. We consider that
                 gene adjacencies at internal nodes of the species
                 phylogeny are weighted, and we introduce an objective
                 function defined as a convex combination of these
                 weights and the evolutionary cost under the
                 Single-Cut-or-Join SCJ model. The weights of ancestral
                 gene adjacencies can, e.g., be obtained through the
                 recent availability of ancient DNA sequencing data,
                 which provide a direct hint at the genome structure of
                 the considered ancestor, or through probabilistic
                 analysis of gene adjacencies evolution. We show the
                 NP-hardness of our problem variant and propose a
                 Fixed-Parameter Tractable algorithm based on the
                 Sankoff-Rousseau dynamic programming algorithm that
                 also allows to sample co-optimal solutions. We apply
                 our approach to mammalian and bacterial data providing
                 different degrees of complexity. We show that including
                 adjacency weights in the objective has a significant
                 impact in reducing the fragmentation of the
                 reconstructed ancestral gene orders. An implementation

  abstract =     "Synthesizing large-scale phylogenetic trees is a
                 fundamental problem in evolutionary biology. Median
                 tree problems have evolved as a powerful tool to
                 reconstruct such trees. Such problems seek a median
                 tree for a given collection of input trees under some
                 problem-specific tree distance. There has been an
                 increased interest in the median tree problem for the
                 classical path-difference distance between trees. While
                 this problem is NP-hard, standard local search
                 heuristics have been described that are based on
                 solving a local search problem exactly. For a more
                 effective heuristic we devise a time efficient
                 algorithm for the local search problem that improves on
                 the best-known solution by a factor of $n$, where $n$
                 is the size of the input trees. Furthermore, we
                 introduce a novel hybrid version of the standard local
                 search that is exploiting our new algorithm for a more
                 refined heuristic search. Finally, we demonstrate the
                 performance of our hybrid heuristic in a comparative

  abstract =     "Identification of essential proteins based on protein
                 interaction network PIN is a very important and hot
                 topic in the post genome era. Up to now, a number of
                 network-based essential protein discovery methods have
                 been proposed. Generally, a static protein interaction
                 network was constructed by using the protein-protein
                 interactions obtained from different experiments or
                 databases. Unfortunately, most of the network-based
                 essential protein discovery methods are sensitive to
                 the reliability of the constructed PIN. In this paper,
                 we propose a new method for constructing refined PIN by
                 using gene expression profiles and subcellular location
                 information. The basic idea behind refining the PIN is
                 that two proteins should have higher possibility to
                 physically interact with each other if they appear
                 together at the same subcellular location and are
                 active together at least at a time point in the cell
                 cycle. The original static PIN is denoted by S-PIN
                 while the final PIN refined by our method is denoted by
                 TS-PIN. To evaluate whether the constructed TS-PIN is
                 more suitable to be used in the identification of
                 essential proteins, 10 network-based essential protein
                 discovery methods DC, EC, SC, BC, CC, IC, LAC, NC, BN,
                 and DMNC are applied on it to identify essential
                 proteins. A comparison of TS-PIN and two other
                 networks: S-PIN and NF-APIN a noise-filtered active PIN
                 constructed by using gene expression data and S-PIN is
                 implemented on the prediction of essential proteins by
                 using these ten network-based methods. The comparison
                 results show that all of the 10 network-based methods
                 achieve better results when being applied on TS-PIN
                 than that being applied on S-PIN and NF-APIN.",

                 recognized as a serious threat to public health
                 worldwide. This problem is extensively discussed in the
                 context of tuberculosis treatment. Alterations in
                 pathogen genomes are among the main mechanisms by which
                 microorganisms exhibit drug resistance. Analysis of 144
                 M. tuberculosis strains of different phenotypes
                 including drug susceptible, MDR, and XDR isolated in
                 Belarus was fulfilled in this paper. A wide range of
                 machine learning methods that can discover SNPs related
                 to drug-resistance in the whole bacteria genomes was
                 investigated. Besides single-SNP testing approaches,
                 methods that allow detecting joint effects from
                 interacting SNPs were considered. We proposed a
                 framework for automated selection of the best
                 performing statistical model in terms of recall,
                 precision, and accuracy to identify drug
                 resistance-associated mutations. Analysis of
                 whole-genome sequences often leads to situations where
                 the number of treated features exceeds the number of
                 available observations. For this reason, special
                 attention is paid to fair evaluation of the model
                 prediction quality and minimizing the risk of
                 overfitting while estimating the underlying parameters.
                 Results of our experiments aimed at identifying
                 top-scoring resistance mutations to the major
                 first-line and second-line anti-TB drugs are

  abstract =     "Most of the evolutionary history reconstruction
                 approaches are based on the infinite sites assumption,
                 which states that mutations appear once in the
                 evolutionary history. The Perfect Phylogeny model is
                 the result of the infinite sites assumption and has
                 been widely used to infer cancer evolution.
                 Nonetheless, recent results show that recurrent and
                 back mutations are present in the evolutionary history
                 of tumors, hence the Perfect Phylogeny model might be
                 too restrictive. We propose an approach that allows
                 losing previously acquired mutations and multiple
                 acquisitions of a character. Moreover, we provide an
                 ILP formulation for the evolutionary tree
                 reconstruction problem. Our formulation allows us to
                 tackle both the Incomplete Directed Phylogeny problem
                 and the Clonal Reconstruction problem when general
                 evolutionary models are considered. The latter problem
                 is fundamental in cancer genomics, the goal is to study
                 the evolutionary history of a tumor considering as
                 input data the fraction of cells having a certain
                 mutation in a set of cancer samples. For the Clonal
                 Reconstruction problem, an experimental analysis shows
                 the advantage of allowing mutation losses. Namely, by
                 analyzing real and simulated datasets, our ILP approach
                 provides a better interpretation of the evolutionary
                 history than a Perfect Phylogeny. The software is at

                 in predicting candidate drugs, toxicities, therapeutic
                 effects, and biological functions. CCI is typically
                 inferred from a variety of information; however, CCI
                 has yet not been predicted using a learning-based
                 approach. In other drug analyses, deep learning has
                 been actively used in recent years. However, in most
                 cases, deep learning has been used only for
                 classification even though it has feature extraction
                 capabilities. Thus, in this paper, we propose an
                 end-to-end representation learning method for CCI,
                 named DeepCCI, which includes feature extraction and a
                 learning-based approach. Our proposed architecture is
                 based on the Siamese network. Hidden representations
                 are extracted from a simplified molecular input line
                 entry system SMILES, which is a string notation
                 representing the chemical structure using weight-shared
                 convolutional neural networks. Subsequently, L1
                 element-wise distances between the two extracted hidden
                 representations are measured. The performance of
                 DeepCCI is compared with those of 12 fingerprint-method
                 combinations. The proposed DeepCCI shows the best
                 performance in most of the evaluation metrics used. In
                 addition, DeepCCI was experimentally validated to
                 guarantee the commutative property. The automatically
                 extracted features can alleviate the efforts required

  abstract =     "Recent studies involving the 3-dimensional
                 conformation of chromatin have revealed the important
                 role it has to play in different processes within the
                 cell. These studies have also led to the discovery of
                 densely interacting segments of the chromosome, called
                 topologically associating domains. The accurate
                 identification of these domains from Hi-C interaction
                 data is an interesting and important computational
                 problem for which numerous methods have been proposed.
                 Unfortunately, most existing algorithms designed to
                 identify these domains assume that they are
                 non-overlapping whereas there is substantial evidence
                 to believe a nested structure exists. We present a
                 methodology to predict hierarchical chromatin domains
                 using chromatin conformation capture data. Our method
                 predicts domains at different resolutions, calculated
                 using intrinsic properties of the chromatin data, and
                 effectively clusters these to construct the hierarchy.
                 At each individual level, the domains are
                 non-overlapping in such a way that the intra-domain
                 interaction frequencies are maximized. We show that our
                 predicted structure is highly enriched for actively
                 transcribing housekeeping genes and various chromatin
                 markers, including CTCF, around the domain boundaries.
                 We also show that large-scale domains, at multiple
                 resolutions within our hierarchy, are conserved across
                 cell types and species. We also provide comparisons
                 against existing tools for extracting hierarchical
                 domains. Our software, Matryoshka, is written in C++11

  abstract =     "Median tree inference under path-difference metrics
                 has shown great promise for large-scale phylogeny
                 estimation. Similar to these metrics is the family of
                 cophenetic metrics that originates from a classic
                 dendrogram comparison method introduced more than 50
                 years ago. Despite the appeal of this family of
                 metrics, the problem of computing median trees under
                 cophenetic metrics has not been analyzed. Like other
                 standard median tree problems relevant in practice, as
                 we show here, this problem is also NP-hard. NP-hard
                 median tree problems have been successfully addressed
                 by local search heuristics that are solving thousands
                 of instances of a corresponding local neighborhood
                 search problem. For the local neighborhood search
                 problem under a cophenetic metric, the best known
                 na{\"\i}ve algorithm has a time complexity that is
                 typically prohibitive for effective heuristic searches.
                 Building on the pioneering work on path-difference
                 median trees, we develop efficient algorithms for
                 Manhattan and Euclidean cophenetic search problems that
                 improve on the na{\"\i}ve solution by a linear and a
                 quadratic factor, respectively. We demonstrate the
                 performance and effectiveness of the resulting
                 heuristic methods in a comparative study using
                 benchmark empirical datasets.",

                 aspects for increasing our knowledge of the dynamic
                 rules of proteins, the cell biology, and the mechanism
                 of diseases. Although there have been tremendous

  abstract =     "Discovering causal relationships from observational
                 data is a crucial problem and it has applications in
                 many research areas. The PC algorithm is the
                 state-of-the-art constraint based method for causal
                 discovery. However, runtime of the PC algorithm, in the
                 worst-case, is exponential to the number of nodes
                 variables, and thus it is inefficient when being
                 applied to high dimensional data, e.g., gene expression
                 datasets. On another note, the advancement of computer
                 hardware in the last decade has resulted in the
                 widespread availability of multi-core personal
                 computers. There is a significant motivation for
                 designing a parallelized PC algorithm that is suitable
                 for personal computers and does not require end users'
                 parallel computing knowledge beyond their competency in
                 using the PC algorithm. In this paper, we develop
                 parallel-PC, a fast and memory efficient PC algorithm
                 using the parallel computing technique. We apply our
                 method to a range of synthetic and real-world high
                 dimensional datasets. Experimental results on a dataset
                 from the DREAM 5 challenge show that the original PC
                 algorithm could not produce any results after running
                 more than 24 hours; meanwhile, our parallel-PC
                 algorithm managed to finish within around 12 hours with
                 a 4-core CPU computer, and less than six hours with a
                 8-core CPU computer. Furthermore, we integrate
                 parallel-PC into a causal inference method for
                 inferring miRNA-mRNA regulatory relationships. The
                 experimental results show that parallel-PC helps
                 improve both the efficiency and accuracy of the causal
                 inference algorithm.",

                 subgraph pattern and a set of vertices is defined by
                 its significant enrichment based on a
                 Bonferroni-corrected hypergeometric probability value.

                 data to a handful of traits. However, in neuroimaging
                 studies, there is an almost unlimited number of traits
                 that can be extracted for full image-wide big data
                 analyses. Large populations are needed to achieve the
                 necessary power to detect statistically significant
                 effects, emphasizing the need to pool data across
                 multiple studies. Neuroimaging consortia, e.g., ENIGMA
                 and CHARGE, are now analyzing MRI data from over 30,000
                 individuals. Distributed processing protocols extract
                 harmonized features at each site, and pool together
                 only the cohort statistics using meta analysis to avoid
                 data sharing. To date, such MRI projects have focused
                 on single measures such as hippocampal volume, yet
                 voxelwise analyses e.g., tensor-based morphometry; TBM
                 may help better localize statistical effects. This can
                 lead to $ 10^{13} $ tests for GWAS and become
                 underpowered. We developed an analytical framework for
                 multi-site TBM by performing multi-channel registration
                 to cohort-specific templates. Our results highlight the

  abstract =     "The function of a protein is determined by its
                 structure, which creates a need for efficient methods
                 of protein structure determination to advance
                 scientific and medical research. Because current
                 experimental structure determination methods carry a
                 high price tag, computational predictions are highly
                 desirable. Given a protein sequence, computational
                 methods produce numerous 3D structures known as decoys.
                 Selection of the best quality decoys is both
                 challenging and essential as the end users can handle
                 only a few ones. Therefore, scoring functions are
                 central to decoy selection. They combine measurable
                 features into a single number indicator of decoy
                 quality. Unfortunately, current scoring functions do
                 not consistently select the best decoys. Machine
                 learning techniques offer great potential to improve
                 decoy scoring. This paper presents two machine-learning
                 based scoring functions to predict the quality of
                 proteins structures, i.e., the similarity between the
                 predicted structure and the experimental one without

  abstract =     "Through sequence-based classification, this paper
                 tries to accurately predict the DNA binding sites of
                 transcription factors TFs in an unannotated cellular
                 context. Related methods in the literature fail to
                 perform such predictions accurately, since they do not
                 consider sample distribution shift of sequence segments
                 from an annotated source context to an unannotated
                 target context. We, therefore, propose a method called
                 ``Transfer String Kernel'' TSK that achieves improved
                 prediction of transcription factor binding site TFBS
                 using knowledge transfer via cross-context sample
                 adaptation. TSK maps sequence segments to a
                 high-dimensional feature space using a discriminative
                 mismatch string kernel framework. In this
                 high-dimensional space, labeled examples of the source
                 context are re-weighted so that the revised sample
                 distribution matches the target context more closely.
                 We have experimentally verified TSK for TFBS
                 identifications on 14 different TFs under a
                 cross-organism setting. We find that TSK consistently
                 outperforms the state-of-the-art TFBS tools, especially
                 when working with TFs whose binding sequences are not
                 conserved across contexts. We also demonstrate the
                 generalizability of TSK by showing its cutting-edge
                 performance on a different set of cross-context tasks
                 for the MHC peptide binding predictions.",

  abstract =     "Modeling the interface region of a protein complex
                 paves the way for understanding its dynamics and
                 functionalities. Existing works model the interface
                 region of a complex by using different approaches, such
                 as, the residue composition at the interface region,
                 the geometry of the interface residues, or the
                 structural alignment of interface regions. These
                 approaches are useful for ranking a set of docked
                 conformation or for building scoring function for
                 protein-protein docking, but they do not provide a
                 generic and scalable technique for the extraction of
                 interface patterns leading to functional motif
                 discovery. In this work, we model the interface region
                 of a protein complex by graphs and extract interface
                 patterns of the given complex in the form of frequent
                 subgraphs. To achieve this, we develop a scalable
                 algorithm for frequent subgraph mining. We show that a
                 systematic review of the mined subgraphs provides an
                 effective method for the discovery of functional motifs
                 that exist along the interface region of a given
                 protein complex. In our experiments, we use three PDB
                 protein structure datasets. The first two datasets are
                 composed of PDB structures from different conformations
                 of two dimeric protein complexes: HIV-1 protease 329
                 structures, and triosephosphate isomerase TIM 86
                 structures. The third dataset is a collection of
                 different enzyme structures protein structures from the
                 six top-level enzyme classes, namely: Oxydoreductase,
                 Transferase, Hydrolase, Lyase, Isomerase, and Ligase.
                 We show that for the first two datasets, our method
                 captures the locking mechanism at the dimeric interface
                 by taking into account the spatial positioning of the
                 interfacial residues through graphs. Indeed, our
                 frequent subgraph mining based approach discovers the
                 patterns representing the dimerization lock which is
                 formed at the base of the structure in 323 of the 329
                 HIV-1 protease structures. Similarly, for 86 TIM
                 structures, our approach discovers the dimerization
                 lock formation in 50 structures. For the enzyme
                 structures, we show that we are able to capture the
                 functional motifs active sites that are specific to
                 each of the six top-level classes of enzymes through
                 frequent subgraphs.",

                 scarcity of annotated proteins for most biological
                 functions. We propose a multitask learning algorithm
                 addressing both issues. Unlike standard multitask
                 algorithms, which use task protein functions similarity
                 information as a bias to speed up learning, we show
                 that dissimilarity information enforces separation of
                 rare class labels from frequent class labels, and for
                 this reason is better suited for solving unbalanced
                 protein function prediction problems. We support our
                 claim by showing that a multitask extension of the
                 label propagation algorithm empirically works best when
                 the task relatedness information is represented using a

                 Moreover, the experimental comparison carried out on

                 caused by multiple molecular perturbations leading to
                 pathological cellular behavior. However, the
                 identification of disease-induced molecular
                 perturbations and subsequent development of efficient
                 therapies are challenged by the complexity of the
                 genotype-phenotype relationship. Accordingly, a key
                 issue is to develop frameworks relating molecular
                 perturbations and drug effects to their consequences on
                 cellular phenotypes. Such framework would aim at
                 identifying the sets of causal molecular factors
                 leading to phenotypic reprogramming. In this article,
                 we propose a theoretical framework, called Boolean
                 Control Networks, where disease-induced molecular
                 perturbations and drug actions are seen as topological
                 perturbations/actions on molecular networks leading to

                 minimal causal topological actions leading to an
                 expected behavior at stable state. Then, we compare

                 systems whose incorrect operation can jeopardize a
                 patient's health, and whose algorithms must meet tight
                 platform constraints like memory consumption and
                 runtime. In particular, we consider here the case of
                 implantable cardioverter defibrillators, where peak
                 detection algorithms and various others discrimination
                 algorithms serve to distinguish fatal from non-fatal
                 arrhythmias in a cardiac signal. Motivated by the need
                 for powerful formal methods to reason about the
                 performance of arrhythmia detection algorithms, we show
                 how to specify all these algorithms using Quantitative
                 Regular Expressions QREs. QRE is a formal language to
                 express complex numerical queries over data streams,
                 with provable runtime and memory consumption
                 guarantees. We show that QREs are more suitable than

                 information not encoded by the DNA sequence. The
                 underlying mechanisms controlling DNA methylation are
                 only partly understood. Several mechanistic models of
                 enzyme activities responsible for DNA methylation have
                 been proposed. Here, we extend existing Hidden Markov
                 Models HMMs for DNA methylation by describing the
                 occurrence of spatial methylation patterns over time
                 and propose several models with different neighborhood
                 dependences. Furthermore, we investigate correlations
                 between the neighborhood dependence and other genomic
                 information. We perform numerical analysis of the HMMs
                 applied to comprehensive hairpin and non-hairpin
                 bisulfite sequencing measurements and accurately
                 predict wild-type data. We find evidence that the
                 activities of Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b responsible for de novo
                 methylation depend on 5' left but not on 3' right
                 neighboring CpGs in a sequencing string.",

                 opportunities in modern and regenerative medicine,
                 heavily relies on identifying key genes to perturb.
                 Most of the existing computational methods for
                 controlling which attractor steady state the cell will
                 reach focus on finding mutations to apply to the
                 initial state. However, it has been shown, and is
                 proved in this article, that waiting between
                 perturbations so that the update dynamics of the system
                 prepares the ground, allows for new reprogramming
                 strategies. To identify such sequential perturbations,
                 we consider a qualitative model of regulatory networks,
                 and rely on Binary Decision Diagrams to model their
                 dynamics and the putative perturbations. Our method
                 establishes a set identification of sequential
                 perturbations, whether permanent mutations or only
                 temporary, to achieve the existential or inevitable
                 reachability of an arbitrary state of the system. We
                 apply an implementation for temporary perturbations on
                 models from the literature, illustrating that we are
                 able to derive sequential perturbations to achieve

                 analyze the spatial organization of chromatin in a

                 reconstruction of chromatin structure from 3C
                 experimental data have been proposed. Compared to other
                 algorithms, ShRec3D, one of the most advanced

  abstract =     "In recent years, there has been numerous studies
                 constructing a disease network with diverse sources of
                 data. Many researchers attempted to extend the usage of
                 the disease network by employing machine learning
                 algorithms on various problems such as prediction of
                 comorbidity. The relations between diseases can further
                 be specified into causal relations. When causality is
                 laid on the edges in the network, prediction for
                 comorbid diseases can be more improved. However, not
                 many machine learning algorithms have been developed to
                 concern causality. In this study, we exploit a network
                 based machine learning algorithm that generates
                 comorbidity scores from a causal disease network. In
                 order to find comorbid diseases, semi-supervised
                 scoring for causal networks is proposed. It computes
                 scores of entire nodes in the network when a specific
                 node is labeled. Each score is calculated one at a time
                 and affects to the others along causal edges. The
                 algorithm iterates until it converges. We compared the
                 scoring results of the causal disease network and those
                 of simple association network. As a gold standard, we
                 referenced the values of relative risk from prevalence
                 database, HuDiNe. Scoring by the proposed method
                 provides clearer distinguishability between the
                 top-ranked diseases in the comorbidity list. This is a
                 benefit because it allows the choosing of the most
                 significant ones on an easier fashion. To present
                 typical use of the resulting list, comorbid diseases of
                 Huntington disease and pnuemonia are validated via
                 PubMed literature, respectively.",

                 proportion of human genetic variation, and recent
                 papers have revealed that many human diseases may be
                 attributable to INDELs. With the development of
                 next-generation sequencing NGS technology, many
                 statistical/computational tools have been developed for
                 calling INDELs. However, there are differences among
                 those tools, and comparisons among them have been
                 limited. In order to better understand these inter-tool
                 differences, five popular and publicly available INDEL
                 calling tools-GATK HaplotypeCaller, Platypus, VarScan2,
                 Scalpel, and GotCloud-were evaluated using simulation
                 data, 1000 Genomes Project data, and family-based
                 sequencing data. The accuracy of INDEL calling by each
                 tool was mainly evaluated by concordance rates.
                 Family-based sequencing data, which consisted of 49
                 individuals from eight Korean families, were used to
                 calculate Mendelian error rates. Our comparison results
                 show that GATK HaplotypeCaller usually performs the
                 best and that joint calling with Platypus can lead to
                 additional improvements in accuracy. The result of this
                 study provides important information regarding future

                 Watson--Crick stacked base pairs that were estimated
                 from experimental measurements of the free energies of
                 90 RNA duplexes. These experimental data are provided
                 by time-consuming and cost-intensive experiments. In
                 contrast, various modified nucleotides in RNAs, which
                 would affect not only their structures but also

                 needed. To reduce the high cost of determining energy

                 residues or stretches of amino acids that show elevated
                 mutation frequency in cancer-related genes, but their
                 prevalence and biological relevance are not completely
                 understood. Here, we developed a Smith-Waterman
                 algorithm-based mutation hotspot discovery method,
                 MutClustSW, to identify mutation hotspots of either
                 single or clustered amino acid residues. We identified
                 181 missense mutation hotspots from COSMIC and TCGA
                 mutation databases. In addition to 77 single amino acid
                 residue hotspots 42.5 percent including well-known
                 mutation hotspots such as IDH1 p.R132 and BRAF p.V600,

                 suggesting that truncating mutations on some tumor
                 suppressor genes are not randomly distributed as
                 previously assumed. We also show that hotspot mutations
                 have higher mutation allele frequency than
                 non-hotspots, and the hotspot information can be used
                 to prioritize the cancer drivers. Together, the
                 proposed algorithm and the mutation hotspot information
                 can serve as valuable resources in the selection of

  abstract =     "Aromatase inhibitors with an $ \mathrm {IC}_{50} $
                 value ranging from 1.4 to 49.7 $ \mu $M are known to
                 act as antiepileptic drugs besides being potential
                 breast cancer inhibitors. The aim of the present study
                 is to identify novel antiepileptic aromatase inhibitors
                 with higher activity exploiting the ligand-based
                 pharmacophore approach utilizing the experimentally
                 known inhibitors. The resultant Hypo1 consists of four
                 features and was further validated by using three
                 different strategies. Hypo1 was allowed to screen
                 different databases to identify lead molecules and were
                 further subjected to Lipinski's Rule of Five and ADMET
                 to establish their drug-like properties. Consequently,
                 the obtained 68-screened molecules were subjected to
                 molecular docking by GOLD v5.2.2. Furthermore, the
                 compounds with the highest dock scores were assessed
                 for molecular interactions. Later, the MD simulation
                 was applied to evaluate the protein backbone
                 stabilities and binding energies adapting GROMACS
                 v5.0.6 and MM/PBSA which was followed by the density
                 functional theory DFT, to analyze their orbital
                 energies, and further the energy gap between them.
                 Eventually, the number of Hit molecules was culled to
                 three projecting Hit1, Hit2, and Hit3 as the potential
                 lead compounds based on their highest dock scores,
                 hydrogen bond interaction, lowest energy gap, and the
                 least binding energies and stable MD results.",

                 and the technology is demanded that enables the
                 searching of such sensitive data while protecting
                 privacy. We consider a case in which a server has a
                 text database and a user searches the database to find
                 substring matches. The user wants to conceal his/her
                 query and the server wants to conceal the database
                 except for the search results. The previous approach
                 for this problem is based on a linear-time algorithm in
                 terms of alphabet size $ \mathbf {| \Sigma |} $, and it
                 cannot search on the database of large alphabet such as
                 biomedical documents. We present a novel algorithm that
                 can search a string in logarithmic time of $ \mathbf {|
                 \Sigma |} $. In our algorithm, named secure wavelet
                 matrix sWM, we use an additively homomorphic encryption
                 to build an efficient data structure called a wavelet
                 matrix. In an experiment using a simulated string of
                 length 10,000 whose alphabet size ranges from 4 to
                 1024, the run time of the sWM was up to around two
                 orders of magnitude faster than that of the previous
                 method. sWM enables the searching of a private database
                 efficiently and thus it will facilitate utilizing
                 sensitive biomedical information.",

  abstract =     "Temporal gene expression profiles have been widely
                 considered to uncover the mechanism of cancer
                 development and progression. Gene expression patterns,
                 however, have been analyzed for limited stages with
                 small samples, without proper data pre-processing, in
                 many cases. With those approaches, it is difficult to
                 unveil the mechanism of cancer development over time.
                 In this study, we analyzed gene expression profiles of
                 two independent colorectal cancer sample datasets, each
                 of which contained 556 and 566 samples, respectively.
                 To find specific gene expression changes according to
                 cancer stage, we applied the linear mixed-effect
                 regression model LMER that controls other clinical
                 variables. Based on this methodology, we found two
                 types of gene expression patterns: continuously
                 increasing and decreasing genes as cancer develops. We
                 found that continuously increasing genes are related to
                 the nervous and developmental system, whereas the
                 others are related to the cell cycle and metabolic
                 processes. We further analyzed connected sub-networks
                 related to the two types of genes. From these results,
                 we suggest that the gene expression profile analysis
                 can be used to understand underlying the mechanisms of
                 cancer development such as cancer growth and
                 metastasis. Furthermore, our approach can provide a
                 good guideline for advancing our understanding of
                 cancer developmental processes.",

                 most frequently mutated genes of all cancers. Despite
                 the important biological roles of TP53, the clinical
                 relevance of TP53 mutations, in gastric cancer GC,
                 remains largely unknown. Here, we systematically
                 assessed clinical relevance, in terms of TP53 mutation
                 positions, finding substantial variability. Thus, we
                 hypothesized that the position of the TP53 mutation
                 might affect clinical outcomes in GC. We systematically
                 inspected missense mutations in TP53, from a TCGA The
                 Cancer Genome Atlas GC dataset in UCSC Xena repository.
                 Specifically, we examined five aspects of each
                 mutational position: 1 the whole gene body; 2 known
                 hot-spots; 3 the DNA-binding domain; 4 the secondary
                 structure of the domain; and 5 individual mutation
                 positions. We then analyzed the clinical outcomes for
                 each aspect. These results showed that, in terms of
                 secondary structure, patients with mutations in turn
                 regions showed poor prognosis, compared to those with
                 mutations in beta strand regions log rank $ {\text {p}}
                 = 0.043 $. Also, in terms of individual mutation
                 positions, patients having mutations at R248 showed
                 poorer survival than other patients having mutations at
                 different TP53 positions log rank $ p = 0.035 $.",

                 by reversals, transpositions, transreversals, and
                 block-interchanges and give a 2-approximation scheme,
                 called the GSB Genome Sorting by Bridges scheme. Our
                 result extends 2-approximation algorithm of He and Chen
                 [12] that allowed only reversals and
                 block-interchanges, and also the 1.5 approximation
                 algorithm of Hartman and Sharan [11] that allowed only
                 transreversals and transpositions. We prove this result
                 by introducing three bridge structures in the
                 breakpoint graph, namely, the L-bridge, T-bridge, and
                 X-bridge and show that they model ``proper'' reversals,
                 transpositions, transreversals, and block-interchanges,
                 respectively. We show that we can always find at least
                 one of these three bridges in any breakpoint graph,
                 thus giving an upper bound on the number of operations
                 needed. We prove a lower bound on the distance and use
                 it to show that GSB has a 2-approximation ratio. An $

                 on the GSB approximation scheme presented in this paper

                 development, and heterogeneous data sources are used to
                 predict drug-target interactions by different
                 approaches. However, most of studies focus on a single
                 representation of drugs or proteins. It has been shown
                 that integrating multi-view representations of drugs
                 and proteins can strengthen the prediction ability. For
                 example, a drug can be represented by its chemical
                 structure, or by its chemical response in different
                 cells. A protein can be represented by its sequence, or
                 by its gene expression values in different cells. The
                 docking of drugs and proteins based on their structure
                 can be considered as one view structural view, and the
                 chemical performance of them based on gene expression
                 and drug response can be considered as another view
                 chemical view. In this work, we first propose a
                 single-view approach of SLRE based on low rank
                 embedding for an arbitrary view, and then extend it to
                 a multi-view approach of MLRE, which could integrate
                 both views. Our experiments show that our methods

  abstract =     "The microRNAs miRNAs, regulators of
                 post-transcriptional processes, have been found to
                 affect the efficacy of drugs by regulating the
                 biological processes in which the target proteins of
                 drugs may be involved. For example, some drugs develop
                 resistance when certain miRNAs are overexpressed.
                 Therefore, identifying miRNAs that affect drug effects
                 can help understand the mechanisms of drug actions and
                 design more efficient drugs. Although some
                 computational approaches have been developed to predict
                 miRNA-drug associations, such associations rarely
                 provide explicit information about which miRNAs and how
                 they affect drug efficacy. On the other hand, there are
                 rich information about which miRNAs affect the efficacy
                 of which drugs in the literature. In this paper, we
                 present a novel text mining approach, named as EmDL
                 Extracting miRNA-Drug interactions from Literature, to
                 extract the relationships of miRNAs affecting drug
                 efficacy from literature. Benchmarking on the
                 drug-miRNA interactions manually extracted from MEDLINE
                 and PubMed Central, EmDL outperforms traditional text
                 mining approaches as well as other popular methods for
                 predicting drug-miRNA associations. Specifically, EmDL
                 can effectively identify the sentences that describe
                 the relationships of miRNAs affecting drug effects. The
                 drug-miRNA interactome presented here can help
                 understand how miRNAs affect drug effects and provide
                 insights into the mechanisms of drug actions. In
                 addition, with the information about drug-miRNA
                 interactions, more effective drugs or combinatorial
                 strategies can be designed in the future. The data used
                 here can be accessed at http://mtd.comp-sysbio.org/.",

  abstract =     "Cancer is a heterogeneous disease, thus one of the
                 central problems is how to dissect the resulting
                 complex phenotypes in terms of their biological
                 building blocks. Computationally, this is to represent
                 and interpret high dimensional observations through a
                 structural and conceptual abstraction into the most
                 influential determinants underlying the problem. The
                 working hypothesis of this report is to consider gene
                 interaction to be largely responsible for the
                 manifestation of complex cancer phenotypes, thus where
                 the representation is to be conceptualized. Here, we
                 report a representation learning strategy combined with
                 regularizations, in which gene expressions are
                 described in terms of a regularized product of
                 meta-genes and their expression levels. The meta-genes
                 are constrained by gene interactions thus representing
                 their original topological contexts. The expression
                 levels are supervised by their conditional dependencies
                 among the observations thus providing a
                 cluster-specific constraint. We obtain both of these
                 structural constraints using a node-based graphical
                 model. Our representation allows the selection of more
                 influential modules, thus implicating their possible
                 roles in neoplastic transformations. We validate our
                 representation strategy by its robust recognitions of
                 various cancer phenotypes comparing with various
                 classical methods. The modules discovered are either
                 shared or specify for different types or stages of
                 human cancers, all of which are consistent with
                 literature and biology.",

  abstract =     "Motivation: Epistatic miniarrary profile EMAP studies
                 have enabled the mapping of large-scale genetic
                 interaction networks and generated large amounts of
                 data in model organisms. It provides an incredible set
                 of molecular tools and advanced technologies that
                 should be efficiently understanding the relationship
                 between the genotypes and phenotypes of individuals.
                 However, the network information gained from EMAP
                 cannot be fully exploited using the traditional
                 statistical network models. Because the genetic network
                 is always heterogeneous, for example, the network
                 structure features for one subset of nodes are
                 different from those of the left nodes.
                 Exponential-family random graph models ERGMs are a
                 family of statistical models, which provide a
                 principled and flexible way to describe the structural
                 features e.g., the density, centrality, and
                 assortativity of an observed network. However, the
                 single ERGM is not enough to capture this heterogeneity
                 of networks. In this paper, we consider a mixture ERGM
                 MixtureEGRM networks, which model a network with
                 several communities, where each community is described
                 by a single EGRM. Results: EM algorithm is a classical
                 method to solve the mixture problem, however, it will
                 be very slow when the data size is huge in the numerous
                 applications. We adopt an efficient novel online graph
                 clustering algorithm to classify the graph nodes and
                 estimate the ERGM parameters for the MixtureERGM. In
                 comparison studies, the MixtureERGM outperforms the
                 role analysis for the network cluster in which the
                 mixture of exponential-family random graph model is
                 developed for many ego-network according to their

  abstract =     "Motivation: Proteins usually fulfill their biological
                 functions by interacting with other proteins. Although
                 some methods have been developed to predict the binding
                 sites of a monomer protein, these are not sufficient
                 for prediction of the interaction between two monomer
                 proteins. The correct prediction of interface residue
                 pairs from two monomer proteins is still an open
                 question and has great significance for practical
                 experimental applications in the life sciences. We hope
                 to build a method for the prediction of interface
                 residue pairs that is suitable for those applications.
                 Results: Here, we developed a novel deep network
                 architecture called the multi-layered Long-Short Term
                 Memory networks LSTMs approach for the prediction of
                 protein interface residue pairs. First, we created
                 three new descriptions and used other six worked
                 characterizations to describe an amino acid, then we
                 employed these features to discriminate between
                 interface residue pairs and non-interface residue
                 pairs. Second, we used two thresholds to select residue
                 pairs that are more likely to be interface residue
                 pairs. Furthermore, this step increases the proportion
                 of interface residue pairs and reduces the influence of
                 imbalanced data. Third, we built deep network
                 architectures based on Long-Short Term Memory networks
                 algorithm to organize and refine the prediction of
                 interface residue pairs by employing features mentioned
                 above. We trained the deep networks on dimers in the
                 unbound state in the international Protein-protein
                 Docking Benchmark version 3.0. The updated data sets in
                 the versions 4.0 and 5.0 were used as the validation
                 set and test set respectively. For our best model, the
                 accuracy rate was over 62 percent when we chose the top
                 0.2 percent pairs of every dimer in the test set as
                 predictions, which will be very helpful for the
                 understanding of protein-protein interaction mechanisms
                 and for guidance in biological experiments.",

  abstract =     "Revealing data with intrinsically diagonal block
                 structures is particularly useful for analyzing groups
                 of highly correlated variables. Earlier researches
                 based on non-negative matrix factorization NMF have
                 been shown to be effective in representing such data by
                 decomposing the observed data into two factors, where
                 one factor is considered to be the feature and the
                 other the expansion loading from a linear algebra
                 perspective. If the data are sampled from multiple
                 independent subspaces, the loading factor would possess
                 a diagonal structure under an ideal matrix
                 decomposition. However, the standard NMF method and its
                 variants have not been reported to exploit this type of
                 data via direct estimation. To address this issue, a
                 non-negative matrix factorization with multiple
                 constraints model is proposed in this paper. The
                 constraints include an sparsity norm on the feature
                 matrix and a total variational norm on each column of
                 the loading matrix. The proposed model is shown to be
                 capable of efficiently recovering diagonal block
                 structures hidden in observed samples. An efficient
                 numerical algorithm using the alternating direction
                 method of multipliers model is proposed for optimizing
                 the new model. Compared with several benchmark models,
                 the proposed method performs robustly and effectively
                 for simulated and real biological data.",

  abstract =     "This paper revisits the k-mismatch shortest unique
                 substring finding problem and demonstrates that a
                 technique recently presented in the context of solving
                 the k-mismatch average common substring problem can be
                 adapted and combined with parts of the existing
                 solution, resulting in a new algorithm which has
                 expected time complexity of $ O(n \log^k n) $, while
                 maintaining a practical space complexity at $ O(k n) $,
                 where $n$ is the string length. When $ k > 0$, which is
                 the hard case, our new proposal significantly improves
                 the anycase $ O(n^2)$ time complexity of the prior best
                 method for $k$-mismatch shortest unique substring
                 finding. Experimental study shows that our new
                 algorithm is practical to implement and demonstrates
                 significant improvements in processing time compared to
                 the prior best solution's implementation when $k$ is
                 small relative ton. For example, our method processes a
                 200 KB sample DNA sequence with $ k = 1$ in just 0.18
                 seconds compared to 174.37 seconds with the prior best
                 solution. Further, it is observed that significant
                 portions of the adapted technique can be executed in
                 parallel, using two different simple concurrency
                 models, resulting in further significant practical
                 performance improvement. As an example, when using 8
                 cores, the parallel implementations both achieved
                 processing times that are less than 1/4 of the serial
                 implementation's time cost, when processing a 10 MB
                 sample DNA sequence with $ k = 2$. In an age where
                 instances with thousands of gigabytes of RAM are
                 readily available for use through Cloud infrastructure
                 providers, it is likely that the trade-off of
                 additional memory usage for significantly improved
                 processing times will be desirable and needed by many
                 users. For example, the best prior solution may spend
                 years to finish a DNA sample of 200MB for any $ k > 0$,
                 while this new proposal, using 24 cores, can finish
                 processing a sample of this size with $ k = 1$ in
                 206.376 seconds with a peak memory usage of 46 GB,
                 which is both easily available and affordable on Cloud.
                 It is expected that this new efficient and practical
                 algorithm for $k$-mismatch shortest unique substring
                 finding will prove useful to those using the measure on
                 long sequences in fields such as computational biology.
                 We also give a theoretical bound that the $k$-mismatch
                 shortest unique substring finding problem can be solved
                 using $ O(n \log^k n)$ time and $ O(n)$ space,
                 asymptotically much better than the one we implemented,
                 serving as a new discovery of interest.",

                 2^{31} $ ytes, we developed BigMPI4py, a Python module
                 that wraps mpi4py, supporting object sizes beyond this
                 boundary. BigMPI4py automatically determines the
                 optimal object distribution strategy, and uses
                 vectorized methods, achieving higher parallelization
                 efficiency. BigMPI4py facilitates the implementation of
                 Python for Big Data applications in multicore
                 workstations and High Performance Computer systems. We
                 use BigMPI4py to speed-up the search for germ line
                 specific de novo DNA methylated/unmethylated motifs
                 from the 59 whole genome bisulfite sequencing DNA
                 methylation samples from 27 human tissues of the ENCODE
                 project. We developed a parallel implementation of the
                 Kruskall-Wallis test to find CpGs with differential
                 methylation across germ layers. The parallel evaluation
                 of the significance of 55 million CpG achieved a 22x
                 speedup with 25 cores allowing us an efficient
                 identification of a set of hypermethylated genes in
                 ectoderm and mesoderm-related tissues, and another set
                 in endoderm-related tissues and finally, the discovery
                 of germ layer specific DNA demethylation motifs. Our
                 results point out that DNA methylation signal provide a
