Parkinson's disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disease with symptoms hard to distinguish from other disorders, affects millions of people globally. Among the symptoms of PD, changes in gait have been used as a primary diagnosis factor. Symptoms of PD include bradykinesia, tremors, depression, hallucinations, cognitive decline, and falls. This study presents a dataset that records data on PD patients who experience freezing of gait, including data for medication in the "on" and "off" states. Classification is applied to two problems relating to this PD data: first, to distinguish PD patients from healthy individuals, and second, to determine effectiveness of medication for freezing of gait. Among the classifiers considered, Multilayer Perceptron, K-Nearest Neighbors, Random Forest, and Support Vector Machine obtain the best results when applied to these problems.

Many species of bacteria inject effector proteins to host cells by their type IV secretion systems(T4SS). Two main kinds of T4SS subtypes, IVA and IVB, are well studied in recent years. IVB effectors have been confirmed to be involved in the pathogenicity of various human pathogens. Discriminating these proteins in bacterial genomes are very helpful for identifying their functional roles in hosts. However, there are few effective computational methods can achieve these goals. In this study, the C-terminal sequence features were analyzed, furthermore, a novel algorithm based on machine learning was developed to predict IVB effectors in genomic proteins. Tests on datasets showed that this method can discriminate IVB effectors from non-effectors with over 94.4% accuracy and 81.6% true positive rate. Genome-wide tests in Coxiella burnetii also showed this algorithm is highly sensitive to recognize effector proteins. As a whole, this method is very helpful for new IVB effector identification and other relevant biological studies.

Uncertainty over model structures poses a challenge for many approaches exploring effect strength parameters at system-level. Monte Carlo methods for full Bayesian model averaging over model structures require considerable computational resources, whereas bootstrapped graphical lasso and its approximations offer scalable alternatives with lower complexity. Although the computational efficiency of graphical lasso based approaches has prompted growing number of applications, the restrictive assumptions of this approach are frequently ignored. We demonstrate using an artificial and a real-world example that full Bayesian averaging using Bayesian networks provides detailed estimates through posterior distributions for structural and parametric uncertainties and it is a feasible alternative, which is routinely applicable in mid-sized biomedical problems with hundreds of variables. We compare Bayesian estimates with corresponding frequentist quantities from bootstrapped graphical lasso using pairwise Markov Random Fields, discussing also their different interpretations. We present results using synthetic data from an artificial model and using the UK Biobank data set to construct a psychopathological network centered around depression (this research has been conducted using the UK Biobank Resource under Application Number 1602).

The advanced protein profiling technologies can simultaneously resolve and analyze multiple proteins. Evaluating multiple proteins will be essential to establish signature proteomic patterns that distinguish cancer from non-cancer. It is desirable to have complex and intelligent analytical tools to detect the changes in protein expression and their correlation to diseases conditions. This paper proposed a swarm-agent based intelligence algorithm using a hybrid ant colony optimization/particle swarm optimization (ACO/PSO) algorithm to identify the diagnostic proteomic patterns of biomarkers for early detection of ovarian cancer. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed system has high predictive accuracy and better diagnostic performance.

bioinformatics is overgrowing and has found many new applications which its progress caused the interaction with other fields. Thus presently, the computationalintelligence based on Internet of Things in bioinformatics is used to archive, search, display, analysis and interpret biological data. Development of bioinformatics and growing need for actuarial science, computer, and programming result in the growth of new computationalintelligence methods, tools, computer algorithms, and programming solutions. This study confers an extensive survey of the computationalintelligence (CI) methods based on Big Data and IoT in bioinformatics and reviews some tools and databases of computationalintelligence for bioinformatics issues such as DNA Sequence Analysis Tools, Analyze & Model 3D Structure, Phylogenetic Analysis, Protein Function Assignment, and Protein Sequence & Structure.

biology is in the middle of a data explosion. The technical advances achieved by the genomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics and proteomics technologies in recent years have significantly increased the amount of data that are available for biologists to analyze different aspects of an organism. However, *omics data sets have several additional problems: they have inherent biological complexity and may have significant amounts of noise as well as measurement artifacts. The need to extract information from such databases has once again become a challenge. This requires novel computational techniques and models to automatically perform data mining tasks such as integration of different data types, clustering and knowledge discovery, among others. In this article, we will present a novel integrated computationalintelligence approach for biological data mining that involves neural networks and evolutionary computation. We propose the use of self-organizing maps for the identification of coordinated patterns variations;a new training algorithm that can include a priori biological information to obtain more biological meaningful clusters;a validation measure that can assess the biological significance of the clusters found;and finally, an evolutionary algorithm for the inference of unknown metabolic pathways involving the selected clusters.
