Machine learning is a branch of artifi cial intelligence that employs a variety of statistical, probabilistic and optimization techniques that allows computers to “learn” from past examples and to detect hard-to-discern patterns from large, noisy or complex data sets. This capability is...

BacMap is an interactive visual database containing fully labeled, zoomable and searchable chromosome maps from more than 170 bacterial (archaebacterial and eubacterial) species. It uses a recently developed visualization tool (CGView) to generate highresolution circular genome maps from sequence...

Rice is a major food staple for the world's population and serves as a model species in cereal genome research. The Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) has long been devoting itself to sequencing, information analysis and biological research of the rice and other crop genomes. In order to facilitate...

Bilingualism is often considered an inappropriate developmental choice for children with specific language impairment (SLI) because, according to a widespread belief, these children’s limited capacity for language would be overtaxed by learning two linguistic systems. However, there has not been...

Commonly-used cubic equations of state (EOS) over predict the bubble point pressures (BPPs) for binary long-chain n-alkane + aromatic mixtures and frequently predict the incorrect phase diagram type. In this work, BPPs for 15 representative n-alkane + aromatic hydrocarbon binary mixtures were...

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of ~22 nucleotide small RNA molecules which regulate gene expression by fully or partially binding to their complementary sequences in mRNAs or promoters. A large number of miRNAs and their expression patterns have been reported in human, mouse and rat....

Partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and support vector machine (SVM) techniques were applied to develop a crystal structure predictor for binary AB compounds. Models were trained and validated on the basis of the classification of 706 AB compounds adopting the seven most common...

Accurately identifying strand residues (beta-residues) from protein sequences aids prediction and analysis of numerous structural and functional aspects of proteins. This thesis is focused on improving sequence-based prediction of strand residues and strands, which in turn would lead to better...
