BiCluE - Exact and heuristic algorithms for weighted bi-cluster editing of biomedical data.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The explosion of biological data has dramatically reformed today's biology research. The biggest challenge to biologists and bioinformaticians is the integration and analysis of large quantity of data to provide meaningful insights. One major problem is the combined analysis of data from different types. Bi-cluster editing, as a special case of clustering, which partitions two different types of data simultaneously, might be used for several biomedical scenarios. However, the underlying algorithmic problem is NP-hard. RESULTS:Here we contribute with BiCluE, a software package designed to solve the weighted bi-cluster editing problem. It implements (1) an exact algorithm based on fixed-parameter tractability and (2) a polynomial-time greedy heuristics based on solving the hardest part, edge deletions, first. We evaluated its performance on artificial graphs. Afterwards we exemplarily applied our implementation on real world biomedical data, GWAS data in this case. BiCluE generally works on any kind of data types that can be modeled as (weighted or unweighted) bipartite graphs. CONCLUSIONS:To our knowledge, this is the first software package solving the weighted bi-cluster editing problem. BiCluE as well as the supplementary results are available online at http://biclue.mpi-inf.mpg.de.

Project description:The string-matching paradigm is applied in every computer science and science branch in general. The existence of a plethora of string-matching algorithms makes it hard to choose the best one for any particular case. Expressing, measuring, and testing algorithm efficiency is a challenging task with many potential pitfalls. Algorithm efficiency can be measured based on the usage of different resources. In software engineering, algorithmic productivity is a property of an algorithm execution identified with the computational resources the algorithm consumes. Resource usage in algorithm execution could be determined, and for maximum efficiency, the goal is to minimize resource usage. Guided by the fact that standard measures of algorithm efficiency, such as execution time, directly depend on the number of executed actions. Without touching the problematics of computer power consumption or memory, which also depends on the algorithm type and the techniques used in algorithm development, we have developed a methodology which enables the researchers to choose an efficient algorithm for a specific domain. String searching algorithms efficiency is usually observed independently from the domain texts being searched. This research paper aims to present the idea that algorithm efficiency depends on the properties of searched string and properties of the texts being searched, accompanied by the theoretical analysis of the proposed approach. In the proposed methodology, algorithm efficiency is expressed through character comparison count metrics. The character comparison count metrics is a formal quantitative measure independent of algorithm implementation subtleties and computer platform differences. The model is developed for a particular problem domain by using appropriate domain data (patterns and texts) and provides for a specific domain the ranking of algorithms according to the patterns' entropy. The proposed approach is limited to on-line exact string-matching problems based on information entropy for a search pattern. Meticulous empirical testing depicts the methodology implementation and purports soundness of the methodology.

Project description:This article presents efficient quantum solutions for exact multiple pattern matching to process the biological sequences. The classical solution takes Ο(mN) time for matching m patterns over N sized text database. The quantum search mechanism is a core for pattern matching, as this reduces time complexity and achieves computational speedup. Few quantum methods are available for multiple pattern matching, which executes search oracle for each pattern in successive iterations. Such solutions are likely acceptable because of classical equivalent quantum designs. However, these methods are constrained with the inclusion of multiplicative factor m in their complexities. An optimal quantum design is to execute multiple search oracle in parallel on the quantum processing unit with a single-core that completely removes the multiplicative factor m, however, this method is impractical to design. We have no effective quantum solutions to process multiple patterns at present. Therefore, we propose quantum algorithms using quantum processing unit with C quantum cores working on shared quantum memory. This quantum parallel design would be effective for searching all t exact occurrences of each pattern. To our knowledge, no attempts have been made to design multiple pattern matching algorithms on quantum multicore processor. Thus, some quantum remarkable exact single pattern matching algorithms are enhanced here with their equivalent versions, namely enhanced quantum memory processing based exact algorithm and enhanced quantum-based combined exact algorithm for multiple pattern matching. Our quantum solutions find all t exact occurrences of each pattern inside the biological sequence in O((m/C)N) and O((m/C)t) time complexities. This article shows the hybrid simulation of quantum algorithms to validate quantum solutions. Our theoretical-experimental results justify the significant improvements that these algorithms outperform over the existing classical solutions and are proven effective in quantum counterparts.
