Genomic Analysis via Machine Learning Methods
These research projects are being done in collaboration with a number of
faculty from the
- Promoter modelling. Collaborator: Ming Tan. Students: Hilda Yu and Johnny Ackers. We have developed a bimotif variable gap model that has been successful at predicting the sigma-28 promoter site in Chlamydia and E. coli Extensions of this model will be applied to search for dimer binding sites.
- Hydra database Collaborators: Hans Bode, Robert Steele, and Steve Hampson. Analysis and data from Hydra ests, as they are being sequenced. Currently we have about 140,000 ests available and new sequences are added monthly. The main goals are to identify genes, their functions, and their evolutionary histories.
- Discovery of Chlamydial Transcription factor Binding Sites Collaborator: Ming Tan. Student: Bob Chan. Chlamydia is an unusual bacterial that lives entirely within human cells. We are developing algorithms that combine various forms of evidence to identify the transcription binding sites that control the early and late genes.
In general our goal is to develop programs that can use the available data to help determine biological significant substructures or patterns in genomes.

Cosmos (2005) BioInformatics: Understanding our Genome
The goal of this course is to introduce students to the bioinformatics research paradigm by studying three significant problems in understanding the genome. The paradigm consists of starting with a biological problem, biological data and biological knowledge and then building an approximate computational model. The model is then applied to real data and its predictions are then validated by additional biological experiments. Ideally this cycle repeats. The course will begin with the problem of identifying genes from sequence data using the GENSCAN program. After genes are identified, their function will be hypothesized using the BLAST program. How genes are regulated will be answered using programs for finding surprising subsequences. In all of these studies students will work with real data using programs freely available on the web. The ideas underlying the algorithms, their limitations, and their connection to biology will be stressed.

Technology to predicting Adverse drug reaction in children with acute
lymphoblastic leukemia by Ruwani Ekanayake, Amy Henry, and Brittany
Horth
Abstract: Pharmacogenomics, the study of how an individual's genetic inheritance affects the body's response to drugs, has expanded exponentially since the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003. Now, thanks to emerging microarray technology, pharmacogenomics is being applied with great success to cancer research. Our project will explore the benefits of microarray technology in pharmacogenomics, specifically as applied to cancers. - Stem Cells by Micheal Jenkins, Uchechukwu Nnadi, and Tom Garrett

Bioinformatcis of Long QT Syndrome by Daryl Serrano and Carlos
Palacios .
Abstract: Long QT syndrome is a genetic disease that affects the heart. One's heart has electrical activity that is made by a flow of ions. This causes the heart to beat normally. People with LQTS have a slower QT interval (heartbeat) than normal. People can acquire LQTS through prescription/over the counter medications or inherit the disease from their parents at birth. LQTS can cause many symptoms in a person that can greatly affect their everyday lives. However, there are treatments for LQTS that help people live normal lives. Acquired LQTS is caused by medications that include antihistamines, antidepressants, mental illness medications, heart medications, etc. LQTS is also congenital, or caused by a mutation in the gene that forms ion channels. There are different classifications of LQTS, such as LQT1, LQT2, LQT3, LQT4, and LQT5. These different forms of LQTS affect different ion channels in the human heart. When LQTS slows one's heart beat, one is likely to faint, have a seizure, or die. One will most likely experience these symptoms when exercising or becomes emotionally excited. Although LQTS may be fatal, doctors have found treatments that help shorted the QT interval. and allow patients to live normal lives. - How Breast Cancer
response to chemotherapy by Amanda Farrar and Rosalinda Ruiz
Abstract:< Chemotherapy is very important in metastasis Breast Cancer. Doxorubicin, epirubicin, Paclitaxel, and docetaxle are the most active chemical drugs used in Breast Cancer treatment. Activating tumor-suppressor genes are emerging as important targets for therapy. Researchers test various models to see which combinations of drugs improve Breast Cancer treatment. By understanding the molecular processes underlying Breast Cancer, researchers hope to create specific drugs that will prevent the growth of Breast Cancer. The malfunction of genes allows cancer to spread to various parts of the bodies. Understanding these processes will help find a cure for this disease. - Title: What is DEB and
how is it treated by Maritza Navarro and Alexandria Magallan
Abstract: Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is caused by a mutation in the collagen, type VII alpha 1 protein, which is found in chromosome 3. Type VII collagen, is a protein that helps keep your skin intact. Those who have dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa are usually diagnosed at birth. Patients with the disease have "butterfly skin" which is so thin that any minor trauma to the skin causes it to blister and scar. The disease is a rare genetic disease that can be both recessive and dominant. If a person has dominant DEB then he or she has no real cure except for the nurture from those who care for them. But those who have recessive DEB, may have a chance since there has recently been 4 cases of skin graphs, or cutaneous pinch grafts, that helps to heal the wounds of the patients. - Similarity Sequencing and its use for phylogenetic trees by Ivan Cvitkovic and Daniel Kaufman.

- Course Goals: Bioinformatics is the study of biological problems via computational tools. The goal of the course is to provide students with sufficient biological knowledge and computational methods that they can use, understand, and possibly generate algorithms that are appropriate for available biological data. This course will concentrate on approaches that deal with the most voluminous and accurate data, namely DNA data, protein data, and gene-expression data. As part of the course students will use current tools on existing databases to a) locate genes and determine their function, b) build phylogenic trees, c) locate regulatory elements and d) predict protein structure.
- Overview of Course:
Problems in Biology and Computational Approaches
Week 1: Basic structure of DNA, RNA, genes and proteins.
Week 2&3: Methods: Dot Matrices, Local, Global and Multiple Alignment algorithms.
Problems: Gene identification and gene function
Week 4&5. Methods: Tree building: UPGMA, clustering, maximum likelihood
Problems: Tree of Life: fitting all organism into an evolutionary history
Week 6&7: Methods: Pattern discover by search (exhaustive and heuristic)
Problems: Gene regulation in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
Week 8&9: Methods: Dynamic Programming, machine learning
Problems: Determine Secondary and Tertiary structure of RNA and Proteins.
Week 10: Methods: Machine Learning
Problem: Determining proteomic disease diagnoses. - Course Workload: Expect weekly assignments. You will have four assignments where you implement basic algorithms for a particular biological problem. These assignments will alternate with using existing, more sophisticated algorithms for related tasks. In particular you will write algorithms for finding genes, determining similarity between DNA and protein sequences, building evolutionary trees, and locating regulatory elements. I will provide a sketch or design for these algorithms so that they are all implementable in one afternoon plus, at least for me, another afternoon for debugging. Only the next homework assignment is guarantee to be correct - other assignments may change as the class progresses.
- Quiz: Multiple choice and fill in the blank. Monday of the second week of classes. This will be based on chapter 1 of the text (pages 1-20) plus the lectures. For computer scientist learning the basic vocabulary of molecular biology is somewhat difficult. I recommend reading the chapter at least twice, making note of the important concepts.
- First Assignment to hand in: Due the beginning of the 3rd week of classes. The assignment has two parts for submission: a coding part and question part. The assignment is due by 10am on Monday of the third week of classes. In general assignment are due by 10am on Monday of week after the assignment is made. Assignments are to be deposited in the appropriate folder using checkmate. Most of you have already used this software, but just in case: To set up for electronic submission, go to checkmate.ics.uci.edu, log in with your UCInet ID, choose "Course Listing" for "Spring 2006," click "Go" next to ICS 174, and then click "List me for this course." For the answers to questions, you will submit a word file hwkn.doc file. For the coding part, when they occur, submit a single hwkn.java. To do this you will need collect your java files into a single file. You may also do the homework in Python. I reserve the right to change assignments as the course progresses.

This is an advanced course that concentrates on recent computational methods that aid in the functional analysis of genomes. Papers will be drawn primarily from Bioinformatics, Proceedings of the Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology, Journal of Molecular Biology, Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, Science, and the Journal of Computational Biology. The course will focus on algorithms that find patterns in DNA, particularly those that relate to gene regulation, such as finding regulatory elements, finding promoters, and clustering gene expression data. There is no text. We will all be reading, discussing, and presenting papers as well as any research-in-progress.
Java Demos:
o
Traveling Salesman. Not available now.
This
Java (JDK1.0) program illustrates the use of hill-climbing to solve the
traveling saleman program. The program is simple so that the general ideas can
be understood. Many valuable extensions are possible. The program only uses one
operator, that of uncrossing edges that intersect. Additional operators are
useful. The general problem of defining useful operators for hill-climbing is
unsolved. Simulated annealing, multiple restarts, better initialization would
all be useful. If your browser executes JDK1.1, then you might prefer the
following similar demo: Not available now.
o
Dynamic Programming. Dynamic
Programming
This program illustrate the use of dynamic programming to find the minimum edit
distance between two strings. This distance depends on the cost one associates
with various edit operations. It can be used for spell checking but major
applications are in comparing amino acid and nucleotide sequences. If you look
at the source,the main action is in the routine doSimMatch. This was one of my
first Java programs, so the program can be greatly improved.
o
Kmean clustering. Not available now.
You'll
see that is doesn't always work. Requires JDK1.1.
o Valdimir Vapnik's applet on Support Vector Machines . This is a beautiful applet that displays the probability density function associated with the generated decision surface.
