  3. The essence is prediction … My dog is very littl_ ? • We know that letters do not occur in English at random; not all letters are equally common (e.g. ‘e’ is more common than ‘x’) • We know that context changes the probability of a letter (e.g. what’s the most likely letter after the sequence “I eat Weet-Bi_”) • Prediction is important in many applications (e.g. encryption, compression, communication, graphics, simulation … and bioinformatics!) Bioinformatics Tony C Smith

  4. Prediction in bioinformatics • Predicting the location of genes in DNA • Predicting the function of proteins • Predicting diseases from molecular samples • Predicting population dynamics • Anything that involves “making a judgment”; typically expressible as a yes/no decision about some sample datum Bioinformatics Tony C Smith

  29. Proteomic prediction Language:• letters combine to form words • words combine to form phrases • phrases combine to form sentences • sentences combine to form sentences (and ultimately Harry Potter books) Proteins: • amino acids combine to form peptides • peptides combine to form secondary motifs (e.g. α-helixes and β-sheets) • motifs combine to make proteins • proteins combine to make toenails (and ultimately people) Bioinformatics Tony C Smith

  30. Approach • Problem is stated as two-class: an amino acid is either the first residue of the mature protein or it is not • Each residue is described by a single document, which includes as many electrochemical, structural or contextual facts as are available (desirable) Bioinformatics Tony C Smith

  31. Properties of amino acids Bioinformatics Tony C Smith

  32. Residue as a document E.g. Cysteine Cys C aliphatic [yes], aromatic [no], hydrophobic [yes], charge [-], polarized [yes], small [no], number of nitrogen atoms [1], contains sulphur [yes], has a carbon ring [no], ionized [yes], valence [2], cbeta [no], covalent [yes], h-bond [yes], etc. (whatever else experimenter wants to include) Bioinformatics Tony C Smith

  37. Machine learning • creating computer programs that get better with experience • learn how to make expert judgments • discover previously hidden, potentially useful information (data mining) What is machine learning? How does it work? • user provides learning system with examples of concept to be learned • induction algorithm infers a characteristic model of the examples • model is used to predict whether or not future novel instances are also examples – and it does this very consistently, and very, very quickly!

  38. Bioinformatics • Biologists know proteins, computer scientists know machine learning • Together, they can find hidden and potentially useful information about genes and proteins • Biotechnology is a multi-billion dollar industry • Biotechnology is one of the best funded areas of scientific research • Shortage of people educated in bioinformatics Bioinformatics Tony C Smith

  39. The University of Waikato • Waikato University is ranked first in the country in computer science and in molecular, cellular, and whole-organism biology • centre of the universe for machine learning Bioinformatics Tony C Smith
