Abstract
Introduction The oral microbial group typically represents the human body's highly complex microbial group ecosystem. Oral microorganisms take part in human diseases, including Oral cavity inflammation, mucosal disease, periodontal disease, tooth decay, and oral cancer. On the other hand, oral microbes can also cause endocrine disorders, digestive function, and nerve function disorders, such as diabetes, digestive system diseases, and Alzheimer's disease. It was noted that the proteins of oral microbes play significant roles in these serious diseases. Having a good knowledge of oral microbes can be helpful in analyzing the procession of related diseases. Moreover, the high-dimensional features and imbalanced data lead to the complexity of oral microbial issues, which can hardly be solved with traditional experimental methods. Methods To deal with these challenges, we proposed a novel method, which is oral_voting_transfer, to deal with such classification issues in the field of oral microorganisms. Such a method employed three features to classify the five oral microorganisms, including Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, abiotrophy adjacent, bifidobacterial, and Capnocytophaga. Firstly, we utilized the highly effective model, which successfully classifies the organelle's proteins and transfers to deal with the oral microorganisms. And then, some classification methods can be treated as the local classifiers in this work. Finally, the results are voting from the transfer classifiers and the voting ones. Results and discussion The proposed method achieved the well performances in the five oral microorganisms. The oral_voting_transfer is a standalone tool, and all its source codes are publicly available at https://github.com/baowz12345/voting_transfer.

Abstract
Understanding many biological processes relies heavily on accurately predicting protein-protein interactions (PPIs). In this study, we propose a novel method for predicting PPIs that is based on LogitBoost with a binary bat feature selection algorithm. Our approach involves the extraction of an initial feature vector by combining pseudo amino acid composition (PseAAC), pseudo-position-specific scoring matrix (PsePSSM), reduced sequence and index-vectors (RSIV), and autocorrelation descriptor (AD). Subsequently, a binary bat algorithm is applied to eliminate redundant features, and the resulting optimal features are fed into the LogitBoost classifier for the identification of PPIs. To evaluate the proposed method, we test it on two databases, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Helicobacter pylori, using 10-fold cross-validation, and achieve accuracies of 94.39% and 97.89%, respectively. Our results showcase the significant potential of our pipeline in accurately predicting protein-protein interactions (PPIs), thereby offering a valuable resource to the scientific research community.

Abstract
Comprehensive understanding of the human protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, aka the human interactome, can provide important insights into the molecular mechanisms of complex biological processes and diseases. Despite the remarkable experimental efforts undertaken to date to determine the structure of the human interactome, many PPIs remain unmapped. Computational approaches, especially network-based methods, can facilitate the identification of previously uncharacterized PPIs. Many such methods have been proposed. Yet, a systematic evaluation of existing network-based methods in predicting PPIs is still lacking. Here, we report community efforts initiated by the International Network Medicine Consortium to benchmark the ability of 26 representative network-based methods to predict PPIs across six different interactomes of four different organisms: A. thaliana, C. elegans, S. cerevisiae, and H. sapiens. Through extensive computational and experimental validations, we found that advanced similarity-based methods, which leverage the underlying network characteristics of PPIs, show superior performance over other general link prediction methods in the interactomes we considered.

Abstract
Abnormal microRNA (miRNA) functions play significant roles in various pathological processes. Thus, predicting drug-miRNA associations (DMA) may hold great promise for identifying the potential targets of drugs. However, discovering the associations between drugs and miRNAs through wet experiments is time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, it is significant to develop computational prediction methods to improve the efficiency of identifying DMA on a large scale. In this paper, a multiple features integration model (MFIDMA) is proposed to predict drug-miRNA association. Specifically, we first formulated known DMA as a bipartite graph and utilized structural deep network embedding (SDNE) to learn the topological features from the graph. Second, the Word2vec algorithm was utilized to construct the attribute features of the miRNAs and drugs. Third, two kinds of features were entered into the convolution neural network (CNN) and deep neural network (DNN) to integrate features and predict potential target miRNAs for the drugs. To evaluate the MFIDMA model, it was implemented on three different datasets under a five-fold cross-validation and achieved average AUCs of 0.9407, 0.9444 and 0.8919. In addition, the MFIDMA model showed reliable results in the case studies of Verapamil and hsa-let-7c-5p, confirming that the proposed model can also predict DMA in real-world situations. The model was effective in analyzing the neighbors and topological features of the drug-miRNA network by SDNE. The experimental results indicated that the MFIDMA is an accurate and robust model for predicting potential DMA, which is significant for miRNA therapeutics research and drug discovery.

Abstract
PIWI proteins and Piwi-Interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are commonly detected in human cancers, especially in germline and somatic tissues, and correlate with poorer clinical outcomes, suggesting that they play a functional role in cancer. As the problem of combinatorial explosions between ncRNA and disease exposes gradually, new bioinformatics methods for large-scale identification and prioritization of potential associations are therefore of interest. However, in the real world, the network of interactions between molecules is enormously intricate and noisy, which poses a problem for efficient graph mining. Line graphs can extend many heterogeneous networks to replace dichotomous networks. In this study, we present a new graph neural network framework, line graph attention networks (LGAT). And we apply it to predict PiRNA disease association (GAPDA). In the experiment, GAPDA performs excellently in 5-fold cross-validation with an AUC of 0.9038. Not only that, it still has superior performance compared with methods based on collaborative filtering and attribute features. The experimental results show that GAPDA ensures the prospect of the graph neural network on such problems and can be an excellent supplement for future biomedical research.

Predicting Protein-Protein Interactions via Random Ferns with Evolutionary Matrix Representation. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:7191684.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play a crucial role in understanding disease pathogenesis, genetic mechanisms, guiding drug design, and other biochemical processes, thus, the identification of PPIs is of great importance. With the rapid development of high-throughput sequencing technology, a large amount of PPIs sequence data has been accumulated. Researchers have designed many experimental methods to detect PPIs by using these sequence data, hence, the prediction of PPIs has become a research hotspot in proteomics. However, since traditional experimental methods are both time-consuming and costly, it is difficult to analyze and predict the massive amount of PPI data quickly and accurately. To address these issues, many computational systems employing machine learning knowledge were widely applied to PPIs prediction, thereby improving the overall recognition rate. In this paper, a novel and efficient computational technology is presented to implement a protein interaction prediction system using only protein sequence information. First, the Position-Specific Iterated Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (PSI-BLAST) was employed to generate a position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM) containing protein evolutionary information from the initial protein sequence. Second, we used a novel data processing feature representation scheme, MatFLDA, to extract the essential information of PSSM for protein sequences and obtained five training and five testing datasets by adopting a five-fold cross-validation method. Finally, the random fern (RFs) classifier was employed to infer the interactions among proteins, and a model called MatFLDA_RFs was developed. The proposed MatFLDA_RFs model achieved good prediction performance with 95.03% average accuracy on Yeast dataset and 85.35% average accuracy on H. pylori dataset, which effectively outperformed other existing computational methods. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method is capable of yielding better prediction results of PPIs, which provides an effective tool for the detection of new PPIs and the in-depth study of proteomics. Finally, we also developed a web server for the proposed model to predict protein-protein interactions, which is freely accessible online at http://120.77.11.78:5001/webserver/MatFLDA_RFs.

Abstract
Identification and characterization of plant protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are critical in elucidating the functions of proteins and molecular mechanisms in a plant cell. Although experimentally validated plant PPIs data have become increasingly available in diverse plant species, the high-throughput techniques are usually expensive and labor-intensive. With the incredibly valuable plant PPIs data accumulating in public databases, it is progressively important to propose computational approaches to facilitate the identification of possible PPIs. In this article, we propose an effective framework for predicting plant PPIs by combining the position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM), local optimal-oriented pattern (LOOP), and ensemble rotation forest (ROF) model. Specifically, the plant protein sequence is firstly transformed into the PSSM, in which the protein evolutionary information is perfectly preserved. Then, the local textural descriptor LOOP is employed to extract texture variation features from PSSM. Finally, the ROF classifier is adopted to infer the potential plant PPIs. The performance of CPIELA is evaluated via cross-validation on three plant PPIs datasets: Arabidopsis thaliana, Zea mays, and Oryza sativa. The experimental results demonstrate that the CPIELA method achieved the high average prediction accuracies of 98.63%, 98.09%, and 94.02%, respectively. To further verify the high performance of CPIELA, we also compared it with the other state-of-the-art methods on three gold standard datasets. The experimental results illustrate that CPIELA is efficient and reliable for predicting plant PPIs. It is anticipated that the CPIELA approach could become a useful tool for facilitating the identification of possible plant PPIs.

Abstract
Understanding the behavioral process of life and disease-causing mechanism, knowledge regarding protein-protein interactions (PPI) is essential. In this paper, a novel hybrid approach combining deep neural network (DNN) and extreme gradient boosting classifier (XGB) is employed for predicting PPI. The hybrid classifier (DNN-XGB) uses a fusion of three sequence-based features, amino acid composition (AAC), conjoint triad composition (CT), and local descriptor (LD) as inputs. The DNN extracts the hidden information through a layer-wise abstraction from the raw features that are passed through the XGB classifier. The 5-fold cross-validation accuracy for intraspecies interactions dataset of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (core subset), Helicobacter pylori, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Human are 98.35, 96.19, 97.37, and 99.74 percent respectively. Similarly, accuracies of 98.50 and 97.25 percent are achieved for interspecies interaction dataset of Human- Bacillus Anthracis and Human- Yersinia pestis datasets, respectively. The improved prediction accuracies obtained on the independent test sets and network datasets indicate that the DNN-XGB can be used to predict cross-species interactions. It can also provide new insights into signaling pathway analysis, predicting drug targets, and understanding disease pathogenesis. Improved performance of the proposed method suggests that the hybrid classifier can be used as a useful tool for PPI prediction.

Abstract
Semi-supervised deep learning for the biomedical graph and advanced manufacturing graph is rapidly becoming an important topic in both academia and industry. Many existing types of research focus on semi-supervised link prediction and node classification, as well as the application of these methods in sustainable development and advanced manufacturing. To date, most manufacturing graph neural networks are mainly evaluated on social and information networks, which improve the quality of network representation y integrating neighbor node descriptions. However, previous methods have not yet been comprehensively studied on biomedical networks. Traditional techniques fail to achieve satisfying results, especially when labeled nodes are deficient in number. In this paper, a new semi-supervised deep learning method for the biomedical graph via sustainable knowledge transfer called SeBioGraph is proposed. In SeBioGraph, both node embedding and graph-specific prototype embedding are utilized as transferable metric space characterized. By incorporating prior knowledge learned from auxiliary graphs, SeBioGraph further promotes the performance of the target graph. Experimental results on the two-class node classification tasks and three-class link prediction tasks demonstrate that the SeBioGraph realizes state-of-the-art results. Finally, the method is thoroughly evaluated.

GTB-PPI: Predict Protein-protein Interactions Based on L1-regularized Logistic Regression and Gradient Tree Boosting. GENOMICS PROTEOMICS & BIOINFORMATICS 2021; 18:582-592. [PMID: 33515750 PMCID: PMC8377384 DOI: 10.1016/j.gpb.2021.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2018] [Revised: 12/21/2019] [Accepted: 05/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are of great importance to understand genetic mechanisms, delineate disease pathogenesis, and guide drug design. With the increase of PPI data and development of machine learning technologies, prediction and identification of PPIs have become a research hotspot in proteomics. In this study, we propose a new prediction pipeline for PPIs based on gradient tree boosting (GTB). First, the initial feature vector is extracted by fusing pseudo amino acid composition (PseAAC), pseudo position-specific scoring matrix (PsePSSM), reduced sequence and index-vectors (RSIV), and autocorrelation descriptor (AD). Second, to remove redundancy and noise, we employ L1-regularized logistic regression (L1-RLR) to select an optimal feature subset. Finally, GTB-PPI model is constructed. Five-fold cross-validation showed that GTB-PPI achieved the accuracies of 95.15% and 90.47% on Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Helicobacter pylori datasets, respectively. In addition, GTB-PPI could be applied to predict the independent test datasets for Caenorhabditis elegans, Escherichia coli, Homo sapiens, and Mus musculus, the one-core PPI network for CD9, and the crossover PPI network for the Wnt-related signaling pathways. The results show that GTB-PPI can significantly improve accuracy of PPI prediction. The code and datasets of GTB-PPI can be downloaded from https://github.com/QUST-AIBBDRC/GTB-PPI/.

Abstract
MOTIVATION The relationship between gene co-expression and chromatin conformation is of great biological interest. Thanks to high-throughput chromosome conformation capture technologies (Hi-C), researchers are gaining insights on the tri-dimensional organization of the genome. Given the high complexity of Hi-C data and the difficult definition of gene co-expression networks, the development of proper computational tools to investigate such relationship is rapidly gaining the interest of researchers. One of the most fascinating questions in this context is how chromatin topology correlates with gene co-expression and which physical interaction patterns are most predictive of co-expression relationships. RESULTS To address these questions, we developed a computational framework for the prediction of co-expression networks from chromatin conformation data. We first define a gene chromatin interaction network where each gene is associated to its physical interaction profile; then, we apply two graph embedding techniques to extract a low-dimensional vector representation of each gene from the interaction network; finally, we train a classifier on gene embedding pairs to predict if they are co-expressed. Both graph embedding techniques outperform previous methods based on manually designed topological features, highlighting the need for more advanced strategies to encode chromatin information. We also establish that the most recent technique, based on random walks, is superior. Overall, our results demonstrate that chromatin conformation and gene regulation share a non-linear relationship and that gene topological embeddings encode relevant information, which could be used also for downstream analysis. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION The source code for the analysis is available at: https://github.com/marcovarrone/gene-expression-chromatin.

Abstract
Post Transactional Modification (PTM) is a vital process which plays an important role in a wide range of biological interactions. One of the most recently identified PTMs is Malonylation. It has been shown that Malonylation has an important impact on different biological pathways including glucose and fatty acid metabolism. Malonylation can be detected experimentally using mass spectrometry. However, this process is both costly and time-consuming which has inspired research to find more efficient and fast computational methods to solve this problem. This paper proposes a novel approach, called SEMal, to identify Malonylation sites in protein sequences. It uses both structural and evolutionary-based features to solve this problem. It also uses Rotation Forest (RoF) as its classification technique to predict Malonylation sites. To the best of our knowledge, our extracted features as well as our employed classifier have never been used for this problem. Compared to the previously proposed methods, SEMal outperforms them in all metrics such as sensitivity (0.94 and 0.89), accuracy (0.94 and 0.91), and Matthews correlation coefficient (0.88 and 0.82), for Homo Sapiens and Mus Musculus species, respectively. SEMal is publicly available as an online predictor at: http://brl.uiu.ac.bd/SEMal/.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions are the foundations of cellular life activities. At present, the already known protein-protein interactions only account for a small part of the total. With the development of experimental and computing technology, more and more PPI data are mined, PPI networks are more and more dense. It is possible to predict protein-protein interaction from the perspective of network structure. Although there are many high-throughput experimental methods to detect protein-protein interactions, the cost of experiments is high, time-consuming, and there is a certain error rate meanwhile. Network-based approaches can provide candidates of protein pairs for high-throughput experiments and improve the accuracy rate. This paper presents a new link prediction approach "Sim" for PPI networks from the perspectives of proteins' complementary interfaces and gene duplication. By integrating our approach "Sim" with the state-of-art network-based approach "L3," the prediction accuracy and robustness are improved.

Abstract
MOTIVATION Graph embedding learning that aims to automatically learn low-dimensional node representations, has drawn increasing attention in recent years. To date, most recent graph embedding methods are evaluated on social and information networks and are not comprehensively studied on biomedical networks under systematic experiments and analyses. On the other hand, for a variety of biomedical network analysis tasks, traditional techniques such as matrix factorization (which can be seen as a type of graph embedding methods) have shown promising results, and hence there is a need to systematically evaluate the more recent graph embedding methods (e.g. random walk-based and neural network-based) in terms of their usability and potential to further the state-of-the-art. RESULTS We select 11 representative graph embedding methods and conduct a systematic comparison on 3 important biomedical link prediction tasks: drug-disease association (DDA) prediction, drug-drug interaction (DDI) prediction, protein-protein interaction (PPI) prediction; and 2 node classification tasks: medical term semantic type classification, protein function prediction. Our experimental results demonstrate that the recent graph embedding methods achieve promising results and deserve more attention in the future biomedical graph analysis. Compared with three state-of-the-art methods for DDAs, DDIs and protein function predictions, the recent graph embedding methods achieve competitive performance without using any biological features and the learned embeddings can be treated as complementary representations for the biological features. By summarizing the experimental results, we provide general guidelines for properly selecting graph embedding methods and setting their hyper-parameters for different biomedical tasks. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION As part of our contributions in the paper, we develop an easy-to-use Python package with detailed instructions, BioNEV, available at: https://github.com/xiangyue9607/BioNEV, including all source code and datasets, to facilitate studying various graph embedding methods on biomedical tasks.

Abstract
Background Identification of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is crucial for understanding biological processes and investigating the cellular functions of genes. Self-interacting proteins (SIPs) are those in which more than two identical proteins can interact with each other and they are the specific type of PPIs. More and more researchers draw attention to the SIPs detection, and several prediction model have been proposed, but there are still some problems. Hence, there is an urgent need to explore a efficient computational model for SIPs prediction. Results In this study, we developed an effective model to predict SIPs, called RP-FIRF, which merges the Random Projection (RP) classifier and Finite Impulse Response Filter (FIRF) together. More specifically, each protein sequence was firstly transformed into the Position Specific Scoring Matrix (PSSM) by exploiting Position Specific Iterated BLAST (PSI-BLAST). Then, to effectively extract the discriminary SIPs feature to improve the performance of SIPs prediction, a FIRF method was used on PSSM. The R’classifier was proposed to execute the classification and predict novel SIPs. We evaluated the performance of the proposed RP-FIRF model and compared it with the state-of-the-art support vector machine (SVM) on human and yeast datasets, respectively. The proposed model can achieve high average accuracies of 97.89 and 97.35% using five-fold cross-validation. To further evaluate the high performance of the proposed method, we also compared it with other six exiting methods, the experimental results demonstrated that the capacity of our model surpass that of the other previous approaches. Conclusion Experimental results show that self-interacting proteins are accurately well-predicted by the proposed model on human and yeast datasets, respectively. It fully show that the proposed model can predict the SIPs effectively and sufficiently. Thus, RP-FIRF model is an automatic decision support method which should provide useful insights into the recognition of SIPs.

Abstract
Background The interactions among proteins act as crucial roles in most cellular processes. Despite enormous effort put for identifying protein-protein interactions (PPIs) from a large number of organisms, existing firsthand biological experimental methods are high cost, low efficiency, and high false-positive rate. The application of in silico methods opens new doors for predicting interactions among proteins, and has been attracted a great deal of attention in the last decades. Results Here we present a novelty computational model with the adoption of our proposed Discriminative Vector Machine (DVM) model and a 2-Dimensional Principal Component Analysis (2DPCA) descriptor to identify candidate PPIs only based on protein sequences. To be more specific, a 2DPCA descriptor is employed to capture discriminative feature information from Position-Specific Scoring Matrix (PSSM) of amino acid sequences by the tool of PSI-BLAST. Then, a robust and powerful DVM classifier is employed to infer PPIs. When applied on both gold benchmark datasets of Yeast and H. pylori, our model obtained mean prediction accuracies as high as of 97.06 and 92.89%, respectively, which demonstrates a noticeable improvement than some state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, we constructed Support Vector Machines (SVM) based predictive model and made comparison it with our model on Human benchmark dataset. In addition, to further demonstrate the predictive reliability of our proposed method, we also carried out extensive experiments for identifying cross-species PPIs on five other species datasets. Conclusions All the experimental results indicate that our method is very effective for identifying potential PPIs and could serve as a practical approach to aid bioexperiment in proteomics research.

Abstract
Background There are two significant problems associated with predicting protein-protein interactions using the sequences of amino acids. The first problem is representing each sequence as a feature vector, and the second is designing a model that can identify the protein interactions. Thus, effective feature extraction methods can lead to improved model performance. In this study, we used two types of feature extraction methods—global encoding and pseudo-substitution matrix representation (PseudoSMR)—to represent the sequences of amino acids in human proteins and Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) to address the classification problem of predicting protein-protein interactions. We also compared principal component analysis (PCA) with independent principal component analysis (IPCA) as methods for transforming Rotation Forest. Results The results show that using global encoding and PseudoSMR as a feature extraction method successfully represents the amino acid sequence for the Rotation Forest classifier with PCA or with IPCA. This can be seen from the comparison of the results of evaluation metrics, which were >73% across the six different parameters. The accuracy of both methods was >74%. The results for the other model performance criteria, such as sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F1-score, were all >73%. The data used in this study can be accessed using the following link: https://www.dsc.ui.ac.id/research/amino-acid-pred/. Conclusions Both global encoding and PseudoSMR can successfully represent the sequences of amino acids. Rotation Forest (PCA) performed better than Rotation Forest (IPCA) in terms of predicting protein-protein interactions between HIV-1 and human proteins. Both the Rotation Forest (PCA) classifier and the Rotation Forest IPCA classifier performed better than other classifiers, such as Gradient Boosting, K-Nearest Neighbor, Logistic Regression, Random Forest, and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Rotation Forest (PCA) and Rotation Forest (IPCA) have accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F1-score values >70% while the other classifiers have values <70%.

Abstract
Background Increasing evidence has indicated that protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play important roles in various aspects of the structural and functional organization of a cell. Thus, continuing to uncover potential PPIs is an important topic in the biomedical domain. Although various feature extraction methods with machine learning approaches have enhanced the prediction of PPIs. There remains room for improvement by developing novel and effective feature extraction methods and classifier approaches to identify PPIs. Method In this study, we proposed a sequence-based feature extraction method called LCPSSMMF, which combined local coding position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM) with multifeatures fusion. First, we used a novel local coding method based on PSSM to build a new PSSM (CPSSM); the advantage of this method is that it incorporated global and local feature extraction, which can account for the interactions between residues in both continuous and discontinuous regions of amino acid sequences. Second, we adopted 2 different feature extraction methods (Local Average Group [LAG] and Bigram Probability [BP]) to capture multiple key feature information by employing the evolutionary information embedded in the CPSSM matrix. Finally, feature vectors were acquired by using multifeatures fusion method. Result To evaluate the performance of the proposed feature extraction approach, we employed support vector machine (SVM) as a prediction classifier and applied this method to yeast and human PPI datasets. The prediction accuracies of LCPSSMMF were 93.43% and 90.41% on the yeast and human datasets, respectively. Moreover, we also compared the proposed method with the previous sequence-based approaches on the yeast datasets by using the same SVM classifier. The experimental results indicated that the performance of LCPSSMMF significantly exceeded that of several other state-of-the-art methods. It is proven that the LCPSSMMF approach can capture more local and global discriminatory information than almost all previous methods and can function remarkably well in identifying PPIs. To facilitate extensive research in future proteomics studies, we developed a LCPSSMMFSVM server, which is freely available for academic use at http://219.219.62.123:8888/LCPSSMMFSVM.

Abstract
Self-interacting proteins (SIPs), whose more than two identities can interact with each other, play significant roles in the understanding of cellular process and cell functions. Although a number of experimental methods have been designed to detect the SIPs, they remain to be extremely time-consuming, expensive, and challenging even nowadays. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop the computational methods for predicting SIPs. In this study, we propose a deep forest based predictor for accurate prediction of SIPs using protein sequence information. More specifically, a novel feature representation method, which integrate position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM) with wavelet transform, is introduced. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, cross-validation tests are performed on two widely used benchmark datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed model achieved high accuracies of 95.43 and 93.65% on human and yeast datasets, respectively. The AUC value for evaluating the performance of the proposed method was also reported. The AUC value for yeast and human datasets are 0.9203 and 0.9586, respectively. To further show the advantage of the proposed method, it is compared with several existing methods. The results demonstrate that the proposed model is better than other SIPs prediction methods. This work can offer an effective architecture to biologists in detecting new SIPs.

Abstract
Chronic liver diseases are fifth leading cause of fatality in developing countries. Their early diagnosis is extremely important for timely treatment and salvage life. To examine abnormalities of liver, ultrasound imaging is the most frequently used modality. However, the visual differentiation between chronic liver and cirrhosis, and presence of heptocellular carcinomas (HCC) evolved over cirrhotic liver is difficult, as they appear almost similar in ultrasound images. In this paper, to deal with this difficult visualization problem, a method has been developed for classifying four liver stages, that is, normal, chronic, cirrhosis, and HCC evolved over cirrhosis. The method is formulated with selected set of "handcrafted" texture features obtained after hierarchal feature fusion. These multiresolution and higher order features, which are able to characterize echotexture and roughness of liver surface, are extracted by using ranklet, gray-level difference matrix and gray-level co-occurrence matrix methods. Thereafter, these features are applied on proposed ensemble classifier that is designed with voting algorithm in conjunction with three classifiers, namely, k-nearest neighbor (k-NN), support vector machine (SVM), and rotation forest. The experiments are conducted to evaluate the (a) effectiveness of "handcrafted" texture features, (b) performance of proposed ensemble model, (c) effectiveness of proposed ensemble strategy, (d) performance of different classifiers, and (e) performance of proposed ensemble model based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) features to differentiate four liver stages. These experiments are carried out on database of 754 segmented regions of interest formed by clinically acquired ultrasound images. The results show that classification accuracy of 96.6% is obtained by use of proposed classifier model.

[PMID: 30135358 PMCID: PMC6164615 DOI: 10.3390/ijms19092483] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2018] [Revised: 08/14/2018] [Accepted: 08/18/2018] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Accurate prediction of intrinsically disordered proteins/regions is one of the most important tasks in bioinformatics, and some computational predictors have been proposed to solve this problem. How to efficiently incorporate the sequence-order effect is critical for constructing an accurate predictor because disordered region distributions show global sequence patterns. In order to capture these sequence patterns, several sequence labelling models have been applied to this field, such as conditional random fields (CRFs). However, these methods suffer from certain disadvantages. In this study, we proposed a new computational predictor called IDP⁻CRF, which is trained on an updated benchmark dataset based on the MobiDB database and the DisProt database, and incorporates more comprehensive sequence-based features, including PSSMs (position-specific scoring matrices), kmer, predicted secondary structures, and relative solvent accessibilities. Experimental results on the benchmark dataset and two independent datasets show that IDP⁻CRF outperforms 25 existing state-of-the-art methods in this field, demonstrating that IDP⁻CRF is a very useful tool for identifying IDPs/IDRs (intrinsically disordered proteins/regions). We anticipate that IDP⁻CRF will facilitate the development of protein sequence analysis.

Abstract
Background Proteins perform their functions usually by interacting with other proteins. Predicting which proteins interact is a fundamental problem. Experimental methods are slow, expensive, and have a high rate of error. Many computational methods have been proposed among which sequence-based ones are very promising. However, so far no such method is able to predict effectively the entire human interactome: they require too much time or memory. Results We present SPRINT (Scoring PRotein INTeractions), a new sequence-based algorithm and tool for predicting protein-protein interactions. We comprehensively compare SPRINT with state-of-the-art programs on seven most reliable human PPI datasets and show that it is more accurate while running orders of magnitude faster and using very little memory. Conclusion SPRINT is the only sequence-based program that can effectively predict the entire human interactome: it requires between 15 and 100 min, depending on the dataset. Our goal is to transform the very challenging problem of predicting the entire human interactome into a routine task.
