Abstract
In genome-wide association studies, combinations of single nucleotide polymorphisms are considered to be more effective than individual mutations in linking genes to traits. Clearly, finding the most relevant combinations from tens of thousands of these mutations associated with a trait is a complicated combinatorial problem. To achieve the higher prediction performance, improve computational efficiency and results interpretation, we proposed three algorithms for searching combinations of individual mutations and applied these algorithms to 3178 samples of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains for predicting their drug resistance to 20 drugs. The single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with drug resistance were identified in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome using the single-marker test, and the combinations of individual mutations were searched using the multimarker test. The data were compared with those predicted by the widely recognized Mykrobe and TB-profiler software. Comparative analysis of the results obtained showed that, excepting for ofloxacin, the combinations of individual mutations found by our algorithms for the second-line drugs have some advantages in prediction accuracy.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the journal is to publish high-quality peer-reviewed scientific and technical materials that present the results of fundamental and applied scientific research in the field of image processing, recognition, analysis and understanding, pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, and related fields of theoretical and applied computer science and applied mathematics. The policy of the journal provides for the rapid publication of original scientific articles, analytical reviews, articles of the world''s leading scientists and specialists on the subject of the journal solicited by the editorial board, special thematic issues, proceedings of the world''s leading scientific conferences and seminars, as well as short reports containing new results of fundamental and applied research in the field of mathematical theory and methodology of image analysis, mathematical theory and methodology of image recognition, and mathematical foundations and methodology of artificial intelligence. The journal also publishes articles on the use of the apparatus and methods of the mathematical theory of image analysis and the mathematical theory of image recognition for the development of new information technologies and their supporting software and algorithmic complexes and systems for solving complex and particularly important applied problems. The main scientific areas are the mathematical theory of image analysis and the mathematical theory of pattern recognition. The journal also embraces the problems of analyzing and evaluating poorly formalized, poorly structured, incomplete, contradictory and noisy information, including artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, medical informatics, data mining, big data analysis, machine vision, data representation and modeling, data and knowledge extraction from images, machine learning, forecasting, machine graphics, databases, knowledge bases, medical and technical diagnostics, neural networks, specialized software, specialized computational architectures for information analysis and evaluation, linguistic, psychological, psychophysical, and physiological aspects of image analysis and pattern recognition, applied problems, and related problems. Articles can be submitted either in English or Russian. The English language is preferable. Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis is a hybrid journal that publishes mostly subscription articles that are free of charge for the authors, but also accepts Open Access articles with article processing charges. The journal is one of the top 10 global periodicals on image analysis and pattern recognition and is the only publication on this topic in the Russian Federation, Central and Eastern Europe.
