With the increase of data from genome sequencing projects comes the need for reliable and efficient methods for the analysis and classification of protein motifs and domains. Experimental methods currently used to determine protein structure are accurate, yet expensive both in terms of time and equipment. Therefore, various computational approaches to solving the problem have been attempted, although their accuracy has rarely exceeded 75%.. In this paper, a rule-based method to predict protein secondary structure is presented. This method uses a newly developed data-mining algorithm called RT-RICO (Relaxed Threshold Rule Induction from Coverings), which identifies dependencies between amino acids in a protein sequence, and generates rules that can be used to predict secondary structures. The average prediction accuracy on sample data sets, or Q(3) score, using RT-RICO was 80.3%, an improvement over comparable computational methods.

bioinformatics, and computationalbiology are two ever-growing fields that require careful attention to intellectual property rights (IPR) and strategies. The American patent system is currently going through the biggest reformation since the passage of Patent Act of 1952, and many changes apply directly to the field of biology that utilize computationalintelligence. Basic IP definitions, recent IP developments, and advanced protection strategies are discussed in order to better understand the status quo of intellectual property (IP) specifically in the field of evolutionary computation, bioinformatics, and computationalbiology.

Biological and biomedical research are increasingly driven by experimental techniques that challenge our ability to analyse, process and extract meaningful knowledge from the underlying data. The impressive capabilities of next-generation sequencing technologies, together with novel and constantly evolving, distinct types of omics data technologies, have created an increasingly complex set of challenges for the growing fields of bioinformatics and computationalbiology. The analysis of the datasets produced and their integration call for new algorithms and approaches from fields such as Databases, Statistics, Data Mining, Machine Learning, Optimization, Computer Science and Artificial intelligence. Clearly, biology is more and more a science of information and requires tools from the computational sciences. In the last few years, we have seen the rise of a new generation of interdisciplinary scientists with a strong background in the biological and computational sciences. In this context, the interaction of researchers from different scientific fields is, more than ever, of foremost importance in boosting the research efforts in the field and contributing to the education of a new generation of bioinformatics scientists. The PACBB17 conference was intended to contribute to this effort and promote this fruitful interaction, with a technical program that included 39 papers spanning many different sub-fields in bioinformatics and computationalbiology. Further, the conference promoted the interaction of scientists from diverse research groups and with a distinct background (computer scientists, mathematicians, biologists).

The papers in this special section were presented at the 20th International Workshop on Data Mining in bioinformatics (BIOKDD 2021) that was held virtually on August 15, 2021. The conference featured the special theme of "Artificial intelligence in Medicine" which particularly welcomed paper submissions and invited talks related to the use of machine learning and data mining techniques for the analysis of large amounts of heterogeneous complex biological and medical data, with a particular focus on deep learning methods that see fast advancement and wider adoption in bioinformatics.

Advances in de novo synthesis of DNA and computational gene design methods make possible the customization of genes by direct manipulation of features such as codon bias and mRNA secondary structure. Codon context is another feature significantly affecting mRNA translational efficiency, but existing methods and tools for evaluating and designing novel optimized protein coding sequences utilize untested heuristics and do not provide quantifiable guarantees on design quality. In this study we examine statistical properties of codon context measures in an effort to better understand the phenomenon. We analyze the computational complexity of codon context optimization and design exact and efficient heuristic gene recoding algorithms under reasonable constraint models. We also present a web-based tool for evaluating codon context bias in the appropriate context.

The growth in the bioinformatics and computationalbiology fields over the last few years has been remarkable and the trend is to increase its pace. In fact, the need for computational techniques that can efficiently handle the huge amounts of data produced by the new experimental techniques in biology is still increasing driven by new advances in Next Generation Sequencing, several types of the so called omics data and image acquisition, just to name a few. The analysis of the datasets that produces and its integration call for new algorithms and approaches from fields such as Databases, Statistics, Data Mining, Machine Learning, Optimization, Computer Science and Artificial intelligence. Within this scenario of increasing data availability, Systems biology has also been emerging as an alternative to the reductionist view that dominated biological research in the last decades. Indeed, biology is more and more a science of information requiring tools from the computational sciences. In the last few years, we have seen the surge of a new generation of interdisciplinary scientists that have a strong background in the biological and computational sciences. In this context, the interaction of researchers from different scientific fields is, more than ever, of foremost importance boosting the research efforts in the field and contributing to the education of a new generation of bioinformatics scientists. PACBB13 hopes to contribute to this effort promoting this fruitful interaction. PACBB'13 technical program included 19 papers from a submission pool of 32 papers spanning many different sub-fields in bioinformatics and computationalbiology. Therefore, the conference will certainly have promoted the interaction of scientists from diverse research groups and with a distinct background (computer scientists, mathematicians, biologists). The scientific content will certainly be challenging and will promote the improvement of the work that is being developed by each of the pa

Stochasticity is part of the nature of many biological processes and an important aspect in modeling and simulations of computationalbiology. Gillespie's algorithm was developed for modeling stochasticity of chemical reactions and has been broadly applied to stochastic modeling in computationalbiology. The Gillespie's algorithm accounts for the particle effect in chemical reactions. However, many biological processes including cellular and molecular immunological mechanisms have many other sources of stochasticity such as cell movement, ligand binding, or unaccounted variation in experimental settings. In this paper, we propose stochastic differential equations (SDE) being used as a generic stochastic modeling technique for systems immunology. SDE has been widely used in statistics and economics areas;but only a few isolated studies in computationalbiology are found using SDE to model stochastic behaviors of cells and molecules. In addition, to the best of our knowledge, there is no user-friendly SDE-based modeling tool available for computational biologists. This paper presents ENISI SDE, a web-based user-friendly stochastic modeling tool for computational biologists. This work provides three major contributions: (1) we discuss SDE and propose it as a generic approach for stochastic modeling in computationalbiology;(2) we develop ENISI SDE, a web-based user-friendly SDE modeling tool that only requires little extra effort beyond regular ODE-based modeling;(3) we use the model SDE modeling tool to study stochastic sources of cell heterogeneity in the context of a CD4+ T Cell differentiation process. The case study clearly shows the effectiveness of SDE as a stochastic modeling approach in biology in general and immunology in particular and the power of the SDE modeling tool we developed.
