  • feature selection for metagenomic binning

    Dear all. I need some help for doing my research in metagenomic binning. Since Bioinformatics is still new in my country, I take this topic for my research. My topic is "Feature selection with Particle Swarm Optimization for metagenome fragment classification ". I use SVM as classifier.

    The main goal of my research is to reduce computation needed for classification using k-mers frequency by selecting only a few feature will be used for classification, as we know that high accuracy will be obtained with longer length k (ex: 20-mers), but the number of features wil be huge, it will be (4 power 20 = 1.099.511.627.776 features extracted ) when we use 20-mers. So I will try to use PSO for feature selection.

    But I haven't get idea how to
    1. Represent the features of DNA dataset to particle in PSO. As the real atribute value of DNA features are in k-mers form (ex: AAA, AAC, AAT,AAG, GTG,...).
    2. How to initialize the number of particles, and to compute and updating the position and velocity.

    please give me any idea. thank you very much

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
