Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Mining and analyzing data-based bioinformatics makes it possible to screen key genes and pathways associated with some diseases. Data-based bioinformatics can be leveraged to create an atmosphere in which all stakeholders can seamlessly access data and process it to meet their needs. It can be used to explore protein networks in the diagnosis of diseases, such as the neuroinflammatory processes in Alzheimer’s disease. High-throughput data-based bioinformatics strategies are efficient and comprehensive research methods that have effectuated new perspectives and remarkable breakthroughs in resolving disease perplexities.

This Special Issue will publish papers on a wide range of data-based bioinformatics topics and applications. This Special Issue will also publish reviews for the users of databases and analytical tools of contemporary genetics, molecular and systems biology. Across this topic, papers must build on a deep understanding and utilization of medical domain knowledge and should consider pragmatic translation for clinical care or applications. Papers must focus on novel informatics methods and its comparison to the current approaches. This Special Issue will consider articles describing novel computational algorithms and software, models and tools, including statistical methods, machine learning and artificial intelligence, as well as systems biology. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • Clinical decision support;
  • Artificial intelligence and machine learning used for data-based bioinformatics;
  • Knowledge representation for healthcare;
  • Translational bioinformatics;
  • Ontology for bioinformatics applications;
  • Intelligent mining of large-scale bio-data;
  • Ensemble methods in bioinformatics;
  • Bioinformatics research and applications;
  • Data dimension reduction methods in high-dimensional databases;
  • Clinical research bioinformatics;
  • Transfer learning in bioinformatics;
  • Multitask learning in bioinformatics;
  • Graph neural networks and their current applications in bioinformatics;
  • Computational intelligence in data-based bioinformatics;
  • Pattern recognition techniques in bioinformatics;
  • Software and databases.

In recent years, the use of Cloud infrastructures for data processing has proven useful, with a computing potential that is not affected by the limitations of a local infrastructure. In this context, Serverless computing is the fastest-growing Cloud service model due to its auto-scaling methodologies, reliability, and fault tolerance. We present a solution based on in-house Serverless infrastructure, which is able to perform large-scale RNA-seq data analysis focused on the mapping of sequencing reads to a reference genome. The main contribution was bringing the computation of genomic data into serverless computing, focusing on RNA-seq read-mapping to a reference genome, as this is the most time-consuming task for some pipelines. The proposed solution handles massive parallel instances to maximize the efficiency in terms of running time. We evaluated the performance of our solution by performing two main tests, both based on the mapping of RNA-seq reads to Human GRCh38. Our experiments demonstrated a reduction of 79.838%, 90.079%, and 96.382%, compared to the local environments with 16, 8, and 4 virtual cores, respectively. Furthermore, serverless limitations were investigated. Full article
