DHFS-ECM: Design of a Dual Heuristic Feature Selection-based Ensemble Classification Model for the Identification of Bamboo Species from Genomic Sequences

Background

Analyzing genomic sequences plays a crucial role in understanding biological diversity and classifying Bamboo species. Existing methods for genomic sequence analysis suffer from limitations such as complexity, low accuracy, and the need for constant reconfiguration in response to evolving genomic datasets.

Aim

This study addresses these limitations by introducing a novel Dual Heuristic Feature Selection-based Ensemble Classification Model (DHFS-ECM) for the precise identification of Bamboo species from genomic sequences.

Methods

The proposed DHFS-ECM method employs a Genetic Algorithm to perform dual heuristic feature selection. This process maximizes inter-class variance, leading to the selection of informative N-gram feature sets. Subsequently, intra-class variance levels are used to create optimal training and validation sets, ensuring comprehensive coverage of class-specific features. The selected features are then processed through an ensemble classification layer, combining multiple stratification models for species-specific categorization.

Results

Comparative analysis with state-of-the-art methods demonstrate that DHFS-ECM achieves remarkable improvements in accuracy (9.5%), precision (5.9%), recall (8.5%), and AUC performance (4.5%). Importantly, the model maintains its performance even with an increased number of species classes due to the continuous learning facilitated by the Dual Heuristic Genetic Algorithm Model.

Conclusion

DHFS-ECM offers several key advantages, including efficient feature extraction, reduced model complexity, enhanced interpretability, and increased robustness and accuracy through the ensemble classification layer. These attributes make DHFS-ECM a promising tool for real-time clinical applications and a valuable contribution to the field of genomic sequence analysis.

Heuristic Analysis of Genomic Sequence Processing Models for High Efficiency Prediction: A Statistical Perspective

Genome sequences indicate a wide variety of characteristics, which include species and sub-species type, genotype, diseases, growth indicators, yield quality, etc. To analyze and study the characteristics of the genome sequences across different species, various deep learning models have been proposed by researchers, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Deep Belief Networks (DBNs), Multilayer Perceptrons (MLPs), etc., which vary in terms of evaluation performance, area of application and species that are processed. Due to a wide differentiation between the algorithmic implementations, it becomes difficult for research programmers to select the best possible genome processing model for their application. In order to facilitate this selection, the paper reviews a wide variety of such models and compares their performance in terms of accuracy, area of application, computational complexity, processing delay, precision and recall. Thus, in the present review, various deep learning and machine learning models have been presented that possess different accuracies for different applications. For multiple genomic data, Repeated Incremental Pruning to Produce Error Reduction with Support Vector Machine (Ripper SVM) outputs 99.7% of accuracy, and for cancer genomic data, it exhibits 99.27% of accuracy using the CNN Bayesian method. Whereas for Covid genome analysis, Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory with CNN (BiLSTM CNN) exhibits the highest accuracy of 99.95%. A similar analysis of precision and recall of different models has been reviewed. Finally, this paper concludes with some interesting observations related to the genomic processing models and recommends applications for their efficient use.

Correlation-Based Analysis of COVID-19 Virus Genome Versus Other Fatal Virus Genomes

Virus attacks have had devastating effects on mankind. The prominent viruses such as Ebola virus (2012), SARS-CoV or Severe acute respiratory syndrome, Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus called as the MERS (EMC/2012), Spanish flu (H1N1 virus-1918) and the most recent COVID-19(SARS-CoV-2) are the ones that have created a difficult situation for the survival of the human race. Currently, throughout the world, a global pandemic situation has put economy, livelihood and human existence in a very pathetic situation. Most of the above-mentioned viruses exhibit some similar characteristics and genetic pattern. Analysing such characteristics and genetic pattern can help the researchers to get a deeper insight into the viruses and helps in finding appropriate medicine or cure. To address these issues, this paper proposes an experimental analysis of the above-mentioned viruses data using correlation methods. The virus data considered for the experimental analysis include the distribution of various amino acids, protein sequences, 3D modelling of viruses, pairwise alignment of proteins that comprise the DNA genome of the viruses. Furthermore, this comparative analysis can be used by the researchers and organizations like WHO(World Health Organization), computational biologists, genetic engineers to frame a layout for studying the DNA sequence distribution, percentage of GC (guanine-cytosine) protein which determines the heat stability of viruses. We have used the Biopython to illustrate the gene study of prominent viruses and have derived results and insights in the form of 3D modelling. The experimental results are more promising with an accuracy rate of 96% in overall virus relationship calculation.
