Identification of glycophorin C as a prognostic marker for human breast cancer using bioinformatic analysis
AbstractBreast cancer is an expanding threat that leads to many women's death worldwide. Despite the improvement of the early detection methods and treatment, still, there is a high number of breast cancer mortality. To increase patient survival in breast cancer, identifying novel biomarkers is essential for therapeutics targets. The Glycophorin C  (GYPC) gene is correlated with patient survival, which can be a possible biomarker for early detection in breast cancer progression. However, the expression of GYPC is not clearly defined in breast cancer. Here, we widely analyzed the expression pattern of GYPC in breast cancer...

Generating novel molecule for target protein (SARS-CoV-2) using drug target interaction based on graph neural network
AbstractThe transmittable spread of viral coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has resulted in a significant rise in global mortality. Due to lack of effective treatment, our aim is to generate a highly potent active molecule that can bind with the protein structure of SARS-CoV-2. Different machine learning and deep learning approaches have been proposed for molecule generation; however, most of these approaches represent the drug molecule and protein structure in 1D sequence, ignoring the fact that molecules are by nature in 3D structure, and because of this many critical properties are lost. In this work, a framework is proposed tha...

Mathematical modeling of the outbreak of COVID-19
AbstractThe novel coronavirus SARS-Cov-2 is a pandemic condition and poses a massive menace to health. The governments of different countries and their various prohibitory steps to restrict the virus ’s expanse have changed individuals’ communication processes. Due to physical and financial factors, the population’s density is more likely to interact and spread the virus. We establish a mathematical model to present the spread of the COVID-19 in India and worldwide. By the simulation proce ss, we find the infected cases, infected fatality rate, and recovery rate of the COVID-19. We validate the model by the rough set...

T-cell epitope-based vaccine designing against Orthohantavirus: a causative agent of deadly cardio-pulmonary disease
AbstractOrthohantavirus, a zoonotic virus responsible for causing human cardio-pulmonary disease, is proven to be a fatal disease. Due to the paucity of regimens to cure the disease and efficient management to eradicate this deadly virus, there is a constant need to expand in-silico approaches belonging to immunology domain to formulate best feasible peptide-based vaccine against it. In lieu of that, we have predicted and validated an epitope of nine-residue-long sequence “MIGLLSSRI”. The predicted epitope has shown best interactions with HLA alleles of MHC Class II proteins, namely HLA DRB1_0101, DRB1_0401, DRB1_0405,...

The impact of pre-clustering on classification of heterogeneous protein data
AbstractThe aim of this paper is to evaluate improvement in the classification of protein sequence data by introducing clustering as a prepossessing step. Clustering analysis was introduced to discover any possible sub-clusters that might have different patterns within the same protein class. A classification learning algorithm is then applied to each cluster to enhance the classification accuracy. Two standard benchmark datasets: caspase 3 human substrates that include cleaved and non-cleaved peptides, and the membrane proteins inner and\(\alpha\)-helical proteins were used to examine the proposed approach. Different desc...

Factors affecting the difference of protein supplements on physical fitness
This study aims to explore the effect of protein supplementation on athletes ’ physical fitness. This article takes 48 male and female athletes as experimental subjects and randomly divides them into 6 groups. The experiment period was 8 days, and each group was supplemented with protein every day. During the experiment, the athlete collected 10 ml of elbow venous blood for the first time in a quiet fasting state in the laboratory at 8 am. Two hours after the main class (after relaxing), go to the laboratory to draw 10 ml of venous blood from the elbow twice until the 8th day. Then, the chemical immunoassay method is ...

Prediction of suitable T and B cell epitopes for eliciting immunogenic response against SARS-CoV-2 and its mutant
AbstractSpike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 is mainly responsible for the recognition and membrane fusion within the host and this protein has an ability to mutate. Hence, T cell and B cell epitopes were derived from the spike glycoprotein sequence of wild SARS-CoV-2. The proposed T cell and B cell epitopes were found to be antigenic and conserved in the sequence of SARS-CoV-2 mutant (B.1.1.7). Thus, the proposed epitopes are effective against SARS-CoV-2 and its B.1.1.7 mutant. MHC-I that best interacts with the proposed T cell epitopes were found, using immune epitope database. Molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulat...

Empirical mode decomposition based adaptive noise canceller for improved identification of exons in eukaryotes
AbstractIdentification of exons in eukaryotes using DSP techniques is a challenging task in genomic signal processing owing to the low density of coding regions. Although many DSP techniques have been proposed, still fast and accurate identification of exons is a great challenge. In this paper, an empirical mode decomposition (EMD) based adaptive noise canceller (ANC) along with a zero-phase anti-notch filter is proposed for improved identification of exons. An anti-notch filter extracts the period-3 property present in the exons and generates the feature, whereas the EMD-based ANC can remove the 1/f background noise prese...
