Classification of seed members of five riboswitch families as short sequences based on the features extracted by Block Location-Based Feature Extraction (BLBFE) method.

Riboswitches are short regulatory elements generally found in the untranslated regions of prokaryotes' mRNAs and classified into several families. Due to the binding possibility between riboswitches and antibiotics, their usage as engineered regulatory elements and also their evolutionary contribution, the need for bioinformatics tools of riboswitch detection is increasing. We have previously introduced an alignment independent algorithm for the identification of frequent sequential blocks in the families of riboswitches.

Alignment of Noncoding Ribonucleic Acids with Pseudoknots Using Context-Sensitive Hidden Markov Model.

Up to now, various signal processing techniques have been used to predict protein-coding genes that are unsuitable for predicting ribonucleic acids (RNAs). Modeling a gene network can be employed in various fields, such as the discovery of new drugs, reducing the side effects of treatment methods, further identifying genetic diseases and treatments for genetic disorders by influencing the activity of effectual genes, preventing the growth of unwanted tissues via growth weakening and cell reproduction, and also for many other applications in the fields of medicine and agriculture. The main purpose of this study was to design a suitable algorithm based on context-sensitive hidden Markov models (csHMMs) for the alignment of secondary structures of RNAs, which can identify noncoding RNAs.

A new algorithm for ECG interference removal from single channel EMG recording.

This paper presents a new method to remove electrocardiogram (ECG) interference from electromyogram (EMG). This interference occurs during the EMG acquisition from trunk muscles. The proposed algorithm employs progressive image denoising (PID) algorithm and ensembles empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) to remove this type of interference.

A Novel Flexible Inertia Weight Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm.

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is an evolutionary computing method based on intelligent collective behavior of some animals. It is easy to implement and there are few parameters to adjust. The performance of PSO algorithm depends greatly on the appropriate parameter selection strategies for fine tuning its parameters.

In this paper, an optimal algorithm is presented for de-noising of medical images. The presented algorithm is based on improved version of local pixels grouping and principal component analysis. In local pixels grouping algorithm, blocks matching based on L (2) norm method is utilized, which leads to matching performance improvement.

Fully Automated Complementary DNA Microarray Segmentation using a Novel Fuzzy-based Algorithm.

DNA microarray is a powerful approach to study simultaneously, the expression of 1000 of genes in a single experiment. The average value of the fluorescent intensity could be calculated in a microarray experiment. The calculated intensity values are very close in amount to the levels of expression of a particular gene.

Cancer Classification in Microarray Data using a Hybrid Selective Independent Component Analysis and υ-Support Vector Machine Algorithm.

Microarray data have an important role in identification and classification of the cancer tissues. Having a few samples of microarrays in cancer researches is always one of the most concerns which lead to some problems in designing the classifiers. For this matter, preprocessing gene selection techniques should be utilized before classification to remove the noninformative genes from the microarray data.

An efficient seizure prediction method using KNN-based undersampling and linear frequency measures.

Seizure prediction based on analysis of electroencephalogram signals has generated considerable research interests. A reliable seizure prediction algorithm with minimal computational requirements is prominent issue for medical facilities; however, it has not been addressed correctly. In this study, an optimized novel method is proposed in order to remove computational complexity, and predict epileptic seizures clinically.

A fast algorithm for exonic regions prediction in DNA sequences.

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce a fast method for gene prediction in DNA sequences based on the period-3 property in exons. First, the symbolic DNA sequences were converted to digital signal using the electron ion interaction potential method. Then, to reduce the effect of background noise in the period-3 spectrum, we used the discrete wavelet transform at three levels and applied it on the input digital signal.

Retinal image registration using geometrical features.

In this study, we have introduced an accurate retinal images registration method using affine moment invariants (AMI's) which are the shape descriptors. First, some closed-boundary regions are extracted in both reference and sensed images. Then, AMI's are computed for each of those regions.
