Benchmarking mass spectrometry based proteomics algorithms using a simulated database
AbstractProtein sequencing algorithms process data from a variety of instruments that has been generated under diverse experimental conditions. Currently there is no way to predict the accuracy of an algorithm for a given data set. Most of the published algorithms and associated software has been evaluated on limited number of experimental data sets. However, these performance evaluations do not cover the complete search space the algorithm and the software might encounter in real-world. To this end, we present a database of simulated spectra that can be used to benchmark any spectra to peptide search engine. We demons...

In silico studies of selected multi-drug targeting against 3CLpro and nsp12 RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase proteins of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV
AbstractAn outbreak of a cluster of viral pneumonia cases, subsequently identified as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), due to a novel SARS-CoV-2 necessitates an urgent need for a vaccine to prevent infection or an approved medication for a cure. In our in silico molecular docking study, a total of 173 compounds, including FDA-approved antiviral drugs, with good ADME descriptors, and some other nucleotide analogues were screened. The results show that these compounds demonstrate strong binding affinity for the residues at the active sites of RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase (RdRp) modelled structures and Chymotrypsin-like c...

An improved unsupervised learning approach for potential human microRNA –disease association inference using cluster knowledge
AbstractRecently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play significant roles in the progression of major human diseases. Identifying associations between human diseases and miRNAs using computational tools have attracted considerable attention. Experimental identification and validation of disease –miRNA associations are rare and time consuming. We propose a computational method for predicting associations to understand pathogenicity and uncover prognosis markers. Existing methods employed approaches based on network and machine learning to predict miRNA disease. However, these approaches d o not consider the cluster i...

Improved filtering approach for identification of protein-coding regions in eukaryotes by background noise reduction using S –G filter
AbstractUnlike prokaryotic genomes, the arrangement of protein-coding regions in eukaryotic genomes is not continuous. It is interrupted by the non-coding DNA sequences called introns. Therefore, the identification of protein-coding regions in a eukaryotic DNA sequence is one of the challenging research issues in bioinformatics. Signal processing-based computational tools such as short-time discreet Fourier transforms (STDFT) and narrow bandpass digital filters has been successfully used to resolve this problem. Filtering techniques are popularly used because of its faster response than the transform techniques. However, t...

A mathematical model of COVID-19 transmission between frontliners and the general public
AbstractThe number of COVID-19 cases is continuously increasing in different countries including the Philippines. It is estimated that the basic reproduction number of COVID-19 is around 1.5 –4 (as of May 2020). The basic reproduction number characterizes the average number of persons that a primary case can directly infect in a population full of susceptible individuals. However, there can be superspreaders that can infect more than this estimated basic reproduction number. In this s tudy, we formulate a conceptual mathematical model on the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 between the frontliners and the general public...
