ACP-MHCNN: an accurate multi-headed deep-convolutional neural network to predict anticancer peptides.

Although advancing the therapeutic alternatives for treating deadly cancers has gained much attention globally, still the primary methods such as chemotherapy have significant downsides and low specificity. Most recently, Anticancer peptides (ACPs) have emerged as a potential alternative to therapeutic alternatives with much fewer negative side-effects. However, the identification of ACPs through wet-lab experiments is expensive and time-consuming.

CluSem: Accurate clustering-based ensemble method to predict motor imagery tasks from multi-channel EEG data.

Background: The classification of motor imagery electroencephalogram (MI-EEG) is a pivotal task in the biosignal classification process in the brain-computer interface (BCI) applications. Currently, this bio-engineering-based technology is being employed by researchers in various fields to develop cutting-edge applications. The classification of real-time MI-EEG signals is the most challenging task in these applications.

SubFeat: Feature subspacing ensemble classifier for function prediction of DNA, RNA and protein sequences.

The information of a cell is primarily contained in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). There is a flow of DNA information to protein sequences via ribonucleic acids (RNA) through transcription and translation. These entities are vital for the genetic process.

PyFeat: a Python-based effective feature generation tool for DNA, RNA and protein sequences.

Motivation: Extracting useful feature set which contains significant discriminatory information is a critical step in effectively presenting sequence data to predict structural, functional, interaction and expression of proteins, DNAs and RNAs. Also, being able to filter features with significant information and avoid sparsity in the extracted features require the employment of efficient feature selection techniques. Here we present PyFeat as a practical and easy to use toolkit implemented in Python for extracting various features from proteins, DNAs and RNAs.
