A genome-wide association study (GWAS) typically involves detecting epistatic interactions of multiple genetic variants on the susceptibility of complex human diseases. As the most abundant source of genetic variation in human genome, the number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) reaches millions in public datasets and SNP data collected from thousands of individuals in case-control studies may shed light on our understanding of epistatic interactions. Various methods have been proposed in previous literature for identifying genetic interactions, but they are infeasible for GWAS as biology data is too large, we here propose a method ‘epistasis group based on Bayesian inference’ (EGBI). EGBI applies a Bayesian marker partition model to investigate observed case-control data and computes the posterior distribution of each epistasis group that is associated with the disease via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). When applied to both simulated data and WTCCC type 1 diabetes data, EGBI successfully identified many known susceptible genes including CTLA4 and MHC and performed more powerfully than its competitors.

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the connection between the Painlev′e property and the integrability of polynomial dynamical systems. We show that if a polynomial dynamical system has Painlev′e property, then it admits certain class of first integrals. We also present some relationships between the Painlev′e property and the structure of the differential Galois group of the corresponding variational equations along some complex integral curve.

This paper presents a biologically inspired local image descriptor that combines color and shape features. Compared with previous descriptors, red-cyan cells associated with L, M, and S cones (L for long, M for medium, and S for short) are used to indicate one of the opponent color channels. Stepping forward from state-of-the-art color feature extraction, we exploit a new approach to compute the color orientation and magnitudes of three opponent color channels, namely, red-green, blue-yellow, and red-cyan, in two-dimensional space. Color orientation is calculated in histograms with magnitude weighting. We linearly concatenate the four-color-opponent-channel histogram and scale-invariant-feamre-transform histogram in the final step. We apply our biologically inspired descriptor to describe the local image feature. Quantitative comparisons with state-of-the-art descriptors demonstrate the significant advantages of maintaining invariance to photometric and geometric changes in image matching, particularly in cases, such as illumination variation and image blurring, where more color contrast information is observed.

The rapid developments of chip-based technology have greatly improved human genetics and made routine the access of thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) contributing to an informatics challenge. The characterization and interpretation of genes and gene-gene interactions that affect the susceptibility of common, complex multifactorial diseases is a computational and statistical challenge in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Various methods have been proposed, but they have dificulty to be directly applied to GWAS caused by excessive search space and intensive computational burden. In this paper, we propose an ant colony optimization (ACO) based algorithm by combining the pheromone updating rule with the heuristic information. We tested power performance of our algorithm by conducting suficient experiments including a wide range of simulated datasets experiments and a real genome-wide dataset experiment. Experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm is time efficient and gain good performance in the term of the power of prediction accuracy. Copyright 2014 ACM.

The excellent feature set or feature combination of cotton foreign fibers is great significant to improve the performance of machine-vision-based recognition system of cotton foreign fibers. To find the excellent feature sets offoreign fibers, in this paper presents three metaheuristic-based feature selection approaches for cotton foreign fibers recognition, which are particle swarm optimization, ant colony optimization and genetic algorithm, respectively. The k-nearest neighbor classifier and support vector machine classifier with k-fold cross validation are used to evaluate the quality offeature subset and identify the cotton foreign fibers. The results show that the metaheuristic-based feature selection methods can efficiently find the optimal feature sets consisting of a few features. It is highly significant to improve the performance of recognition system for cotton foreign fibers.
