A Neural Network Method For Protein Classification, Arie D. Jones
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The investigation detailed in this paper attempts to utilize a Leaming Vector Quantization network in order to classify a set of mitochondrial proteins based upon their amino acid sequence. The Learning Vector Quantization network uses a nearest neighbor approach to classification. Input vectors are fed into the network, which produces output vectors. Those output vectors are then matched by means of a distance bias to a corresponding classification vector. The learning and test sets consisted of thirteen similar mitochodrial proteins from seventy-two different species. This provided a pool of over nine hundred proteins to use. Half of the species were …

Student Works (2000-2009)
This research covers a broad survey of bioinformatics resources and data mining tools available on the web. Bioinformatics is the field of science in which biology, computer science, and information technology merge to form a single discipline. The three main public domain bioinformatics resources covered here includes NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information), EBI (European Bioinformatics Institute) and Genome Net (Japanese Bioinfom1atics Servers). The technology now has enabled researchers to gain global access to these databases and software. These databases and tools will provide the research community with a wealth of information and computing tools followed with the vast data …
