Data that effectively demonstrate the benefits of a 3D CAPPI algorithm.

ABSTRACT: The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "Three-dimensional analysis of the initial stage of convective precipitation using an operational X-band polarimetric radar network" [1]. The data presented were obtained using a three-dimensional constant-altitude plan-position-indicator (3D CAPPI), which was generated by a new method proposed by [1]. The data used to create the 3D CAPPI were derived from two X-band polarimetric radar installations in the Kanto region of Japan, Ebina (139.39°E, 35.40°N), and Shin-yokohama (139.60°E, 35.51°N). These data are superior to operational radar data in terms of their temporal and spatial resolution. These high resolution data can indicate a rapidly developing storm, such as localized precipitation. It is particularly important to understand the early stages of storms in terms of numerical and short-term models. These data show the time of appearance, life cycle, and evolution of each cell that constitutes a storm in three-dimensional detail.

Project description:BackgroundThe development of chromosomal conformation capture techniques, particularly, the Hi-C technique, has made the analysis and study of the spatial conformation of a genome an important topic in bioinformatics and computational biology. Aided by high-throughput next generation sequencing techniques, the Hi-C technique can generate genome-wide, large-scale intra- and inter-chromosomal interaction data capable of describing in details the spatial interactions within a genome. These data can be used to reconstruct 3D structures of chromosomes that can be used to study DNA replication, gene regulation, genome interaction, genome folding, and genome function.ResultsHere, we introduce a maximum likelihood algorithm called 3DMax to construct the 3D structure of a chromosome from Hi-C data. 3DMax employs a maximum likelihood approach to infer the 3D structures of a chromosome, while automatically re-estimating the conversion factor (α) for converting Interaction Frequency (IF) to distance. Our results show that the models generated by 3DMax from a simulated Hi-C dataset match the true models better than most of the existing methods. 3DMax is more robust to structural variability and noise. Compared on a real Hi-C dataset, 3DMax constructs chromosomal models that fit the data better than most methods, and it is faster than all other methods. The models reconstructed by 3DMax were consistent with fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) experiments and existing knowledge about the organization of human chromosomes, such as chromosome compartmentalization.Conclusions3DMax is an effective approach to reconstructing 3D chromosomal models.

Project description:BackgroundThe three-dimensional (3D) structure of chromatin has a massive effect on its function. Because of this, it is desirable to have an understanding of the 3D structural organization of chromatin. To gain greater insight into the spatial organization of chromosomes and genomes and the functions they perform, chromosome conformation capture (3C) techniques, particularly Hi-C, have been developed. The Hi-C technology is widely used and well-known because of its ability to profile interactions for all read pairs in an entire genome. The advent of Hi-C has greatly expanded our understanding of the 3D genome, genome folding, gene regulation and has enabled the development of many 3D chromosome structure reconstruction methods.ResultsHere, we propose a novel approach for 3D chromosome and genome structure reconstruction from Hi-C data using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) approach called ParticleChromo3D. This algorithm begins with a grouping of candidate solution locations for each chromosome bin, according to the particle swarm algorithm, and then iterates its position towards a global best candidate solution. While moving towards the optimal global solution, each candidate solution or particle uses its own local best information and a randomizer to choose its path. Using several metrics to validate our results, we show that ParticleChromo3D produces a robust and rigorous representation of the 3D structure for input Hi-C data. We evaluated our algorithm on simulated and real Hi-C data in this work. Our results show that ParticleChromo3D is more accurate than most of the existing algorithms for 3D structure reconstruction.ConclusionsOur results also show that constructed ParticleChromo3D structures are very consistent, hence indicating that it will always arrive at the global solution at every iteration. The source code for ParticleChromo3D, the simulated and real Hi-C datasets, and the models generated for these datasets are available here: https://github.com/OluwadareLab/ParticleChromo3D.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Protein structure prediction (PSP) has important applications in different fields, such as drug design, disease prediction, and so on. In protein structure prediction, there are two important issues. The first one is the design of the structure model and the second one is the design of the optimization technology. Because of the complexity of the realistic protein structure, the structure model adopted in this paper is a simplified model, which is called off-lattice AB model. After the structure model is assumed, optimization technology is needed for searching the best conformation of a protein sequence based on the assumed structure model. However, PSP is an NP-hard problem even if the simplest model is assumed. Thus, many algorithms have been developed to solve the global optimization problem. In this paper, a hybrid algorithm, which combines genetic algorithm (GA) and tabu search (TS) algorithm, is developed to complete this task. RESULTS: In order to develop an efficient optimization algorithm, several improved strategies are developed for the proposed genetic tabu search algorithm. The combined use of these strategies can improve the efficiency of the algorithm. In these strategies, tabu search introduced into the crossover and mutation operators can improve the local search capability, the adoption of variable population size strategy can maintain the diversity of the population, and the ranking selection strategy can improve the possibility of an individual with low energy value entering into next generation. Experiments are performed with Fibonacci sequences and real protein sequences. Experimental results show that the lowest energy obtained by the proposed GATS algorithm is lower than that obtained by previous methods. CONCLUSIONS: The hybrid algorithm has the advantages from both genetic algorithm and tabu search algorithm. It makes use of the advantage of multiple search points in genetic algorithm, and can overcome poor hill-climbing capability in the conventional genetic algorithm by using the flexible memory functions of TS. Compared with some previous algorithms, GATS algorithm has better performance in global optimization and can predict 3D protein structure more effectively.
