Statistical signals in bioinformatics.

چکیده
The Arthur M. Sackler Colloquium of the National Academy of Sciences, "Frontiers in Bioinformatics: Unsolved Problems and Challenges," organized by David Eisenberg, Russ Altman, and myself, was held October 15-17, 2004, to provide a forum for discussing concepts and methods in bioinformatics serving the biological and medical sciences. The deluge of genomic and proteomic data in the last two decades has driven the creation of tools that search and analyze biomolecular sequences and structures. Bioinformatics is highly interdisciplinary, using knowledge from mathematics, statistics, computer science, biology, medicine, physics, chemistry, and engineering.

Bioinformatics to Biostochastics: Statistical Perspectives and Tasks Ahead
Bioinformatics is an emerging field of science emphasizing the application of mathematics, statistics, and informatics to study and analysis of very large molecular biological (mostly, genetic and genomic) systems (data sets). In a comparatively broader setup of large biological systems without necessarily having a predominant genetic undercurrent, and having genesis in biometry to biostatistic...
متن کاملMatched filter for signature extraction in bioinformatics data set
In many bioinformatics research and applications, we need to extract interesting signals or to compare between signals in large multivariate data sets. In most cases those signals are buried in “noise”. Finding methods to increase signal-to-noise ratio is an important statistical problem studied for many years and there exist a set of well developed methods for noise reduction and signal boosti...

The identi ̄cation of regulatory signals is one of the most di±cult and challenging tasks in bioinformatics. With the development of microarray technology, biologists can now reveal gigantic gene sequences, which contain parts of the genome believed to be responsible for most transcription ¤
متن کاملModel-based detection of alternative splicing signals
MOTIVATION Transcripts from approximately 95% of human multi-exon genes are subject to alternative splicing (AS). The growing interest in AS is propelled by its prominent contribution to transcriptome and proteome complexity and the role of aberrant AS in numerous diseases. Recent technological advances enable thousands of exons to be simultaneously profiled across diverse cell types and cellul...
متن کاملDragon PolyA Spotter: predictor of poly(A) motifs within human genomic DNA sequences
MOTIVATION Recognition of poly(A) signals in mRNA is relatively straightforward due to the presence of easily recognizable polyadenylic acid tail. However, the task of identifying poly(A) motifs in the primary genomic DNA sequence that correspond to poly(A) signals in mRNA is a far more challenging problem. Recognition of poly(A) signals is important for better gene annotation and understanding...
متن کاملWavelets in bioinformatics and computational biology: state of art and perspectives
MOTIVATION At a recent meeting, the wavelet transform was depicted as a small child kicking back at its father, the Fourier transform. Wavelets are more efficient and faster than Fourier methods in capturing the essence of data. Nowadays there is a growing interest in using wavelets in the analysis of biological sequences and molecular biology-related signals. RESULTS This review is intended ...
