In this study, differentially expressed genes for the trophozoite and schizont stages of Plasmodium falciparum's life cycle were extracted from a time series RNA-Seq gene expression experiment. About 28% of the 5,270 genes used in the experiment were found to show significant expression at these stages. Enrichment analysis using Gene Ontology implicated a total of 62 functions as highly enriched from the list of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Some include;protein targeting to membrane, protein import, establishment of proteins localization to organelle, ribonucleic protein complex, nucleotide-excision repair and processes related to the mitochondria. A protein interaction network (PIN) for the DEGs at the schizont stage was extracted from experimental data of protein-protein interactions and supplemented with data from a protein interaction database. We predicted a number of protein-protein interactions in Plasmodium falciparum that may be implicated in invasion of the human red blood cells (RBCs). Some of these predictions are consistent with those from previous studies while quite a number of them are novel. We also identified 16 protein complexes from the PIN using the Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE) algorithm. The functional enrichment of the identified protein complexes showed functions related to gene expression, translation, RNA transport and metabolic/biological processes which have been identified to be important in the invasion process. The result from this study is meant to provide better insight into disease at hand.

The goal of ParBio is to bring together scientists in high-performance computing, computationalbiology, and medicine to discuss parallel implementation of bioinformatics and biomedical applications and the challenges and opportunities of moving these applications to the cloud or edge. The workshop will also address Artificial intelligence (AI), Large Language Models (LLMs), machine learning, and big data analytics in healthcare and bioinformatics, focusing on the integrated analysis of molecular and clinical data. This is motivated by the increasing production of experimental and clinical data and the shift towards data storage, integration, and analysis.
Over the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in drug discovery and development (DDD), revolutionizing many aspects of the process. This survey provides a comprehensive re...

A minimum hybridization network is a rooted phylogenetic network that displays two given rooted phylogenetic trees using a minimum number of reticulations. Previous mathematical work on their calculation has usually assumed the input trees to be bifurcating, correctly rooted, or that they both contain the same taxa. These assumptions do not hold in biological studies and "realistic" trees have multifurcations, are difficult to root, and rarely contain the same taxa. We present a new algorithm for computing minimum hybridization networks for a given pair of "realistic" rooted phylogenetic trees. We also describe how the algorithm might be used to improve the rooting of the input trees. We introduce the concept of "autumn trees", a nice framework for the formulation of algorithms based on the mathematics of "maximum acyclic agreement forests". While the main computational problem is hard, the run-time depends mainly on how different the given input trees are. In biological studies, where the trees are reasonably similar, our parallel implementation performs well in practice. The algorithm is available in our open source program Dendroscope 3, providing a platform for biologists to explore rooted phylogenetic networks. We demonstrate the utility of the algorithm using several previously studied data sets.

Accurate cancer risk prediction from genetic and environment variables is a key problem in medicine. One approach is to use somatic mutations which could potentially be used in early detection and prevention. SNP based studies are the most common ones utilizing this approach, however most studies lack a cross-study validation component across at least two independent studies. Here we explore the cross-validation and cross-study validation of predicting kidney cancer case and controls with SNPs obtained from whole exome sequences at the National Cancer Institute. From the Genomics Data Commons portal we obtained aligned whole exome sequences of two different kidney cancer studies: 110 cases and controls of KIRP for renal papillary cell carcinoma and 34 cases and controls of KICH for kidney chromophobe cell carcinoma. We performed a rigorous quality control procedure to obtain SNPs and rank them with feature selection. On top ranked SNPs we find the support vector machine to obtain a cross-validation accuracy of 71% (with 10 SNPs) and 72% (with 20 SNPs) in KIRP and KICH respectively. We then learn a model on KIRP and with 10 SNPs achieve an accuracy of 66% on the KICH samples. Our work shows that we can predict kidney chromophobe carcinoma from a kidney papillary carcinoma dataset with better than a random classification which would have 50% accuracy. In continuing work we are expanding these sample sizes and extending crossstudy to other kidney cancer datasets in the NCI GDC portal.
