Novel Biomarker Prediction for Lung Cancer Using Random Forest Classifiers.
Lung cancer is considered the most common and the deadliest cancer type. Lung cancer could be mainly of 2 types: small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer is affected by about 85% while small cell lung cancer is only about 14%. Over the last decade, functional genomics has arisen as a revolutionary tool for studying genetics and uncovering changes in gene expression. RNA-Seq has been applied to investigate the rare and novel transcripts that aid in discovering genetic changes that occur in tumours due to different lung cancers. Although RNA-Seq helps to understand and characterise the gene expression involved in lung cancer diagnostics, discovering the biomarkers remains a challenge. Usage of classification models helps uncover and classify the biomarkers based on gene expression levels over the different lung cancers.

期刊介绍:
The field of cancer research relies on advances in many other disciplines, including omics technology, mass spectrometry, radio imaging, computer science, and biostatistics. Cancer Informatics provides open access to peer-reviewed high-quality manuscripts reporting bioinformatics analysis of molecular genetics and/or clinical data pertaining to cancer, emphasizing the use of machine learning, artificial intelligence, statistical algorithms, advanced imaging techniques, data visualization, and high-throughput technologies. As the leading journal dedicated exclusively to the report of the use of computational methods in cancer research and practice, Cancer Informatics leverages methodological improvements in systems biology, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and molecular biochemistry into the fields of cancer detection, treatment, classification, risk-prediction, prevention, outcome, and modeling.
