Binomics - Where Metagenomics meets the Binary World
نویسندگان
چکیده
Artificial Life and Evolutionary Computation studies have until now failed to model the symbiotic evaluation methods and the extensive amounts of horizontal gene transfer that are starting to be recognized in recent Metagenomic approaches to understanding microbial populations. Examples can be seen, in Learning Classifier Systems, and the SANE algorithm, of symbiotic evaluations; the Microbial Genetic Algorithm (GA) introduced horizontal gene transfer. Here for the first time these two are brought together in the Binomic GA, which is shown to perform well in a series of trials. It is proposed that Binomics, defined as computational algorithms inspired by Metagenomic studies, forms a potentially fruitful field of study waiting to be investigated.

Introduction: Bacteria are a group of microorganisms which in contrast to their diversity in nature, only very few of them can be grown and isolated in the current standard laboratories. Metagenomics as a new field of research, during the last decade has worked on clarification of the genomes of the non-cultured microbes and researchers around the world with serious study of this group of bacte...
متن کاملDecision Making Using Rating Systems: When Scale Meets Binary
Rating systems measuring quality of products and services (i.e., the state of the world) are widely used to solve the asymmetric information problem in markets. Decision makers typically make binary decisions such as buy/hold/sell based on aggregated individuals’ opinions presented in the form of ratings. Problems arise, however, when different rating metrics and aggregation procedures translat...
متن کاملRestructuring of Arithmetic Circuits with Biconditional Binary Decision Diagrams
Biconditional Binary Decision Diagrams (BBDDs) are a novel class of canonical binary decision diagrams where the branching condition, and its associated logic expansion, is biconditional on two variables. In this demonstration, we use an efficient BBDD manipulation package as front-end to a commercial synthesis tool to restructure arithmetic operations in critical components of telecommunicatio...
متن کاملWhen metagenomics meets stable-isotope probing: progress and perspectives.
The application of metagenomics, the culture-independent capture and subsequent analysis of genomic DNA from the environment, has greatly expanded our knowledge of the diversity of microbes and microbial protein families; however, the metabolic functions of many microorganisms remain largely unknown. DNA stable-isotope probing (DNA-SIP) is a recently developed method in which the incorporation ...
متن کاملOnline Compact Convexified Factorization Machine
Factorization Machine (FM) is a supervised learning approach with a powerful capability of feature engineering. It yields state-ofthe-art performance in various batch learning tasks where all the training data is made available prior to the training. However, in real-world applications where the data arrives sequentially in a streaming manner, the high cost of re-training with batch learning al...
