Genetic Screens

Genetic Screens

Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which result in visible changes...

Viral Structure

Viral Structure

Viruses are extraordinarily diverse in shape and size, but they all have several structural features in common. All viruses have a core that contains a DNA- or RNA-based genome. The core is surrounded by a protective coat of proteins called the capsid. The capsid is composed of subunits called capsomeres. The capsid and genome-containing core are together known as the nucleocapsid.

Support vector machines (SVM) and kernel methods are increasingly utilized in chemoinformatics.
These methods offer efficient frameworks for supervised classification and regression tasks.
They allow the integration of prior knowledge into data analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the application of kernel methods in chemoinformatics.
To highlight the development of novel kernels for direct molecular structure comparison.
To assess the relevance of these methods in toxicity prediction and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.

Main Methods:

Utilizing support vector machines and various kernel functions for data analysis.
Developing and applying novel kernels that directly compare 2D or 3D molecular structures.
