Drug repositioning, which aims to identify new indications for existing drugs, offers a promising alternative reduce the total time and cost of traditional drug development. Many computational strategies repositioning have been proposed, are based on similarities among drugs diseases. Current studies typically use either only drug-related properties (e.g. chemical structures) or disease-related phenotypes) calculate disease similarity, respectively, while not taking into account influence...
Brain tumor segmentation aims to separate the different tissues such as active cells, necrotic core, and edema from normal brain of White Matter (WM), Gray (GM), Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF). MRI-based studies are attracting more attention in recent years due non-invasive imaging good soft tissue contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images. With development almost two decades, innovative approaches applying computer-aided techniques for segmenting becoming mature coming closer routine...
Accumulating evidences indicate that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play pivotal roles in various biological processes. Mutations and dysregulations of lncRNAs are implicated miscellaneous human diseases. Predicting lncRNA–disease associations is beneficial to disease diagnosis as well treatment. Although many computational methods have been developed, precisely identifying associations, especially for novel lncRNAs, remains challenging. In this study, we propose a method (named SIMCLDA)...
Abstract Motivation Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) play important roles in many biological processes. Conventional experiments for identifying PPI sites are costly and time-consuming. Thus, computational approaches have been proposed to predict sites. Existing methods usually use local contextual features Actually, global of protein sequences critical site prediction.
