چکیده

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a widely spread disease all over the world. HCV has very high mutation rate that makes it resistant to antibodies. Modeling HCV to identify the virus mutation process is essential to its detection and predicting its evolution. This paper presents a model of HCV based on profile hidden Markov model (PHMM) architecture. An iterative model learning procedure is proposed and applied to both full-length sequence of virus and its very high variation (mutation) zone called NS5A. A pilot study on HCV dataset of type 4 is conducted which is of special concern in Egypt.

Model Based Framework for Estimating Mutation Rate of Hepatitis C Virus in Egypt

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a widely spread disease all over the world. HCV has very high mutation rate that makes it resistant to antibodies. Modeling HCV to identify the virus mutation process is essential to its detection and predicting its evolution. This paper presents a model based framework for estimating mutation rate of HCV in two steps. Firstly profile hidden Markov model (PHMM) archit...

Evaluation of First and Second Markov Chains Sensitivity and Specificity as Statistical Approach for Prediction of Sequences of Genes in Virus Double Strand DNA Genomes

Growing amount of information on biological sequences has made application of statistical approaches necessary for modeling and estimation of their functions. In this paper, sensitivity and specificity of the first and second Markov chains for prediction of genes was evaluated using the complete double stranded  DNA virus. There were two approaches for prediction of each Markov Model parameter,...

Intrusion Detection Using Evolutionary Hidden Markov Model

Intrusion detection systems are responsible for diagnosing and detecting any unauthorized use of the system, exploitation or destruction, which is able to prevent cyber-attacks using the network package analysis. one of the major challenges in the use of these tools is lack of educational patterns of attacks on the part of the engine analysis; engine failure that caused the complete training,  ...

A generalization of Profile Hidden Markov Model (PHMM) using one-by-one dependency between sequences

The Profile Hidden Markov Model (PHMM) can be poor at capturing dependency between observations because of the statistical assumptions it makes. To overcome this limitation, the dependency between residues in a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) which is the representative of a PHMM can be combined with the PHMM. Based on the fact that sequences appearing in the final MSA are written based on th...
