Generic properties of random gene regulatory networksQuantitative Biology - Tập 1 - Trang 253-260 - 2014
Zhiyuan Li, Simone Bianco, Zhaoyang Zhang, Chao Tang
Modeling gene regulatory networks (GRNs) is an important topic in systems
biology. Although there has been much work focusing on various specific systems,
the generic behavior of GRNs with continuous variables is still elusive. In
particular, it is not clear typically how attractors partition among the three
types of orbits: steady state, periodic and chaotic, and how the dynamical
properties chan... hiện toàn bộ
System identification and parameter estimation in mathematical medicine: examples demonstrated for prostate cancerQuantitative Biology - - 2016
Yoshito Hirata, Kai Morino, Taiji Suzuki, Qian Guo, Hiroshi Fukuhara, Kazuyuki Aihara
We review our studies on how to identify the most appropriate models of
diseases, and how to determine their parameters in a quantitative manner given a
short time series of biomarkers, using intermittent androgen deprivation therapy
of prostate cancer as an example. Recently, it has become possible to estimate
the specific parameters of individual patients within a reasonable time by
employing th... hiện toàn bộ
Strategic planning for national biomedical big data infrastructure in ChinaQuantitative Biology - Tập 5 - Trang 272-275 - 2017
Zhen Wang, Zefeng Wang, Yixue Li
The promise that big data will revolutionize scientific discovery and technology
innovation is now being widely recognized. With the explosive growth of
biomedical data, life science is being transformed into a digital science in
which novel insights are gained from in-depth data analysis and modeling.
Extensive and innovative utilization of biomedical big data is a key to the
success of precision... hiện toàn bộ
On the possibility of identifying human subjects using behavioural complexity analysesQuantitative Biology - Tập 4 Số 4 - Trang 261-269 - 2016
Petr Klouček, Armin von Gunten
BackgroundIdentification of human subjects using a geometric approach to
complexity analysis of behavioural data is designed to provide a basis for a
more precise diagnosis leading towards personalised medicine.MethodsThe approach
is based on capturing behavioural time‐series that can be characterized by a
fractional dimension using non‐invasive longer‐time acquisitions of heart rate,
perfusion, b... hiện toàn bộ
MRHCA: a nonparametric statistics based method for hub and co-expression module identification in large gene co-expression networkQuantitative Biology - Tập 6 - Trang 40-55 - 2018
Yu Zhang, Sha Cao, Jing Zhao, Burair Alsaihati, Qin Ma, Chi Zhang
Gene co-expression and differential co-expression analysis has been increasingly
used to study cofunctional and co-regulatory biological mechanisms from large
scale transcriptomics data sets. In this study, we develop a nonparametric
approach to identify hub genes and modules in a large coexpression network with
low computational and memory cost, namely MRHCA. We have applied the method to
simulat... hiện toàn bộ
Comprehensive simulation of metagenomic sequencing data with non‐uniform sampling distributionQuantitative Biology - Tập 6 Số 2 - Trang 175-185 - 2018
Shansong Liu, Kui Hua, Sijie Chen, Xuegong Zhang
BackgroundMetagenomic sequencing is a complex sampling procedure from unknown
mixtures of many genomes. Having metagenome data with known genome compositions
is essential for both benchmarking bioinformatics software and for investigating
influences of various factors on the data. Compared to data from real microbiome
samples or from defined microbial mock community, simulated data with proper

On the statistical significance of protein complexQuantitative Biology - Tập 6 - Trang 313-320 - 2018
Youfu Su, Can Zhao, Zheng Chen, Bo Tian, Zengyou He
Statistical validation of predicted complexes is a fundamental issue in
proteomics and bioinformatics. The target is to measure the statistical
significance of each predicted complex in terms of p-values. Surprisingly, this
issue has not received much attention in the literature. To our knowledge, only
a few research efforts have been made towards this direction. In this article,
we propose a nove... hiện toàn bộ
