In bioinformatics, exon skipping (ES) event prediction is an essential part of alternative splicing (AS) event analysis. Although many methods have been developed to predict ES events, a solution has yet to be found. In this study, given the limitations of machine learning algorithms with RNA-Seq data or genome sequences, a new feature, called RS (RNA-seq and sequence) features, was constructed...

We present the Distributed Executor for RSES (DIXER) which is a supplementary software for the Rough Set Exploration System (RSES). It takes an advantage of grid computing paradigm and allows to shorten the time necessary for experiments by employing all available workstations to run a scenario of experiments. DIXER software includes most important rough set classification algorithms from RSES ...
