  • stanford's machine learning applied in bioinformatics

    2 questions:

    1) Anyone on this forum also taking the ml-class offered?
    2) Specific examples of machine learning used in bioinformatics

    So I'm about half way through the class and I started with the specific intent of applying this to bioinformatics ...

    And while I understand what I'm working on ... I'd really like more practice!

    linear regression
    logistic regression
    neural networks
    support vector machines

      I'm ok with shameless!

      sounds .... amazingly spot on... !

      if( published? )
      " where can I find one? "
      else
      " WHEN!? "
      end

      and I've got a class full of smart and optimistic kids looking to learn some things ... do you have any leads .. or like annoying pet projects you'd like to talk about?

        Oops,
        forgot to include link!

        Reverse vaccinology aims to accelerate subunit vaccine design by rapidly predicting which proteins in a pathogenic bacterial proteome are putative protective antigens. Support vector machine classification is a machine learning approach that has been applied to solve numerous classification problems …

          Hi,

          I am following the ml class. The techniques taught in the class are very useful in biology.

          Actually until I took the class, I didnot realize that the techniques used in microarray data analysis (or RNA-seq), for example, cluster analysis, PCA, clustering, are machine learning techniques.

          Plus, linear regression is used a lot in modeling gene expression and gene set analysis, e.g. limma, GSEAlm.

          Moreover, Octave, the programming environment used in the course (or a free version of Matlab), is also widely used in bioinformatics.

          You won't regret taking the course.

          Cheers,
          Jun

            Might I ask how you came upon that fact? Where can I read more about it?

                Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
                by seqadmin


                Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
