Two main types of technology are commonly used to identify genes that cause or predispose a person to a disease: positional cloning techniques and candidate gene techniques. Positional cloning techniques allow disease genes to be identified based sol...

A Random Forest Classifier based on Genetic Algorithm for Cardiovascular Diseases Diagnosis (RESEARCH NOTE)

Machine learning-based classification techniques provide support for the decision making process in the field of healthcare, especially in disease diagnosis, prognosis and screening. Healthcare datasets are voluminous in nature and their high dimensionality problem comprises in terms of slower learning rate and higher computational cost. Feature selection is expected to deal with the high dimen...

Arabidopsis Hormone Database: a comprehensive genetic and phenotypic information database for plant hormone research in Arabidopsis

Plant hormones are small organic molecules that influence almost every aspect of plant growth and development. Genetic and molecular studies have revealed a large number of genes that are involved in responses to numerous plant hormones, including auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin, abscisic acid, ethylene, jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, and brassinosteroid. Here, we develop an Arabidopsis hormone d...
