RoboCOP: Multivariate State Space Model Integrating Epigenomic Accessibility Data to Elucidate Genome-Wide Chromatin Occupancy.

Conference Res Comput Mol Biol · May 2020 Chromatin is the tightly packaged structure of DNA and protein within the nucleus of a cell. The arrangement of different protein complexes along the DNA modulates and is modulated by gene expression. Measuring the binding locations and level of occupancy ... Full text Link to item Cite

E pluribus unum: United states of single cells

Conference Lecture Notes in Computer Science Including Subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics · January 1, 2017 Cite

Cell-cycle phenotyping with conditional random fields: A case study in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Conference Proceedings International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging · January 1, 2013 High-resolution, multimodal microscopy grants an intimate view of the inner workings of cells. Complex processes like cell division can be monitored with microscope images, assuming identification of cells and their cell-cycle markers: cellular structures ... Full text Cite

Distinguishing Direct versus Indirect Transcription Factor-DNA Interactions

Conference RESEARCH IN COMPUTATIONAL MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, PROCEEDINGS · January 1, 2010 Link to item Cite

Using DNA duplex stability information for transcription factor binding site discovery.

Conference Pac Symp Biocomput · 2008 Transcription factor (TF) binding site discovery is an important step in understanding transcriptional regulation. Many computational tools have already been developed, but their success in detecting TF motifs is still limited. We believe one of the main r ... Link to item Cite

Finding diagnostic biomarkers in proteomic spectra.

Conference Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing. Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing · January 2006 In seeking to find diagnostic biomarkers in proteomic spectra, two significant problems arise. First, not only is there noise in the measured intensity at each m/z value, but there is also noise in the measured m/z value itself. Second, the potential for o ... Full text Cite

Informative structure priors: joint learning of dynamic regulatory networks from multiple types of data.

Conference Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing. Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing · January 2005 We present a method for jointly learning dynamic models of transcriptional regulatory networks from gene expression data and transcription factor binding location data. Models are automatically learned using dynamic Bayesian network inference algorithms; j ... Full text Cite

On semi-supervised classification

Conference Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems · January 1, 2005 A graph-based prior is proposed for parametric semi-supervised classification. The prior utilizes both labelled and unlabelled data; it also integrates features from multiple views of a given sample (e.g., multiple sensors), thus implementing a Bayesian fo ... Cite

Influence of network topology and data collection on network inference.

Conference Pac Symp Biocomput · 2003 We recently developed an approach for testing the accuracy of network inference algorithms by applying them to biologically realistic simulations with known network topology. Here, we seek to determine the degree to which the network topology and data samp ... Open Access Link to item Cite

Identification of differentially expressed proteins using MALDI-TOF mass spectra

Conference Conference Record of the Asilomar Conference on Signals Systems and Computers · January 1, 2003 In the search for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for lung cancer, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has been evinced as a new and promising discovery platform to generate protein expression p ...

Joint classifier and feature optimization for cancer diagnosis using gene expression data

Conference Proceedings of the Annual International Conference on Computational Molecular Biology RECOMB · January 1, 2003 Recent research has demonstrated quite convincingly that accurate cancer diagnosis can be achieved by constructing classifiers that arc designed to compare the gene expression profile of a tissue of unknown cancer status to a database of stored expression ...

Combining location and expression data for principled discovery of genetic regulatory network models.

Conference Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing. Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing · January 2002 We develop principled methods for the automatic induction (discovery) of genetic regulatory network models from multiple data sources and data modalities. Models of regulatory networks are represented as Bayesian networks, allowing the models to compactly ... Full text Cite

Maximum likelihood estimation of optimal scaling factors for expression array normalization

Conference Proceedings of SPIE the International Society for Optical Engineering · January 1, 2001 Data from expression arrays must be comparable before it can be analyzed rigorously on a large scale. Accurate normalization improves the comparability of expression data because it seeks to account for sources of variation obscuring the underlying variati ... Full text Cite

Using graphical models and genomic expression data to statistically validate models of genetic regulatory networks.

Conference Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing. Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing · January 2001 We propose a model-driven approach for analyzing genomic expression data that permits genetic regulatory networks to be represented in a biologically interpretable computational form. Our models permit latent variables capturing unobserved factors, describ ... Full text Cite

Simulating biological reactions: A modular approach.

Anonymous authentication of membership in dynamic groups

Conference Lecture Notes in Computer Science Including Subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics · January 1, 1999 We present a series of protocols for authenticating an individual’s membership in a group without revealing that individual's identity and without restricting how the membership of the group may be changed. In systems using these protocols a single message ... Full text Cite
