From protein-disease associations to disease informatics.

چکیده
Advancements in high-throughput technology and computational power have brought about significant progress in our understanding of cellular processes, including an increased appreciation of the intricacies of disease. The computational biology community has made strides in characterizing human disease and implementing algorithms that will be used in translational medicine. Despite this progress, most of the identified biomarkers and proposed methodologies have still not achieved the sensitivity and specificity to be effectively used, for example, in population screening against various diseases. Here we review the current progress in computational methodology developed to exploit major high-throughput experimental platforms towards improved understanding of disease, and argue that an integrated model for biomarker discovery, predictive medicine and treatment is likely to be data-driven and personalized. In such an approach, major data collection is yet to be done and comprehensive computational models are yet to be developed.

متن کاملCloning & Expression of F Protein Gene (HR1 region) of Newcastle Disease Virus NR43 Isolate from Iran in E.coli
Background and Aims: NDV (Newcastle Disease Virus) is one of the viruses that cause disease in avian with severe economic losses in the poultry industry in many countries. Fusion protein (F) which plays a major role in the virus pathogenicity contains several regions that have a role in the fusion process. Mutation in the sequence of HR1 & HR2 regions of this protein prevents fusion of the viru...
متن کاملAn integrated approach to inferring gene-disease associations in humans.
UNLABELLED One of the most important tasks of modern bioinformatics is the development of computational tools that can be used to understand and treat human disease. To date, a variety of methods have been explored and algorithms for candidate gene prioritization are gaining in their usefulness. Here, we propose an algorithm for detecting gene-disease associations based on the human protein-pro...
متن کاملRace and Ethnic Differences in the Associations between Cardiovascular Diseases, Anxiety, and Depression in the United States
Introduction: Although cardiovascular diseases and psychiatric disorders are linked, it is not yet known if such links are independent of comorbid medical diseases and if these associations depend on race and ethnicity. This study aimed to determine if the associations between cardiovascular diseases with general anxiety disorder (GAD) and major depressive episode (MDE) are ind...
