Applications of deep neural networks to protein structure prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Protein secondary structure, backbone torsion angle and other secondary structure features can provide useful information for protein 3D structure prediction and protein functions. Deep learning offers a new opportunity ... -
Bioinformatics analysis and prediction of protein phosphorylation and other posttranslational modifications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Protein posttranslational modifications (PTM), such as phosphorylation, play essential roles in many aspects of cell life. With the rapid accumulation ... -
Bioinformatics methods for protein identification using peptide mass fingerprinting data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Protein identification using mass spectrometry is an important yet partially solved problem in the study of proteomics during the post-genomic era. The major techniques used in mass spectrometry are Peptide Mass Fingerprinting ... -
Complexity reduction and visualization tool for RDF knowledge network application in precision medicine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Precision medicine is one of the most rapidly emerging areas of research and development, crucial for improving patient care, but there is a lack of ... -
Computational analysis of tongue image for health diagnosis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Tongue, the primary taste organ in the mouth, can reflect the whole body's health conditions based on the Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) theories. Watching the tongue is one of the most common, essential and reliable ... -
Computational methods for bacterial characterization and bacteria-host/environment interaction analyses
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)With the rapid development of next-generation sequencing technologies, bacterial identification becomes a very important and essential step in processing genomic data, especially for metagenomic data. Many computational ... -
Data analysis and prediction of protein posttranslational modification
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Protein posttranslational modification (PTM) occurs broadly after or during protein biosynthesis, to assist folding or activate function during the ... -
Development of a plant protein phosphorylation database and a web-based protein phosphorylation prediction tool
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)In this project, two efficient and intuitive user-interfaces were designed and developed to be highly accessible and versatile for bioinformatics researchers. Two web based user interfaces were designed for two bioinformatics ... -
Development of tools for SoyKB: SNPViz, differential expression and protein bioviewer
