THESIS PROPOSAL

Recent technological advances have allowed the study of large volumes of genomic data. However, the methodology commonly used in this type of analysis presents several drawbacks such as the use of previous hypotheses, a priori knowledge and statistical tests based solely on correlations between pairs of variables. This framework can cause a loss of useful knowledge because it biases the search from the beginning. Therefore, with the aim of providing a solution to these problems, it is necessary to use techniques that avoid the biases produced by the ones mentioned above. To this end, the use of data science techniques is proposed, an interdisciplinary field that seeks the extraction of useful and novel (unknown) knowledge of data from various sources. Within this field, pattern mining includes a series of techniques of a descriptive nature that make it possible to obtain information relating to simple and complex relationships between the elements of a dataset. Pattern mining techniques have the advantage of not producing biases as they do not require the formulation of a baseline hypothesis. The study of the specific relationships between the items (genes) contained in the data is carried out without any prior knowledge of the function or functional category of the genomic variable. A clear advantage of these techniques is the possibility of being able to infer or delimit functional relationships of genes that have not been studied.

The main goal of this thesis is to cover these studies through new pattern mining techniques that allow to work without previous hypotheses nor apriori knowledge and therefore, to extract useful knowledge from genomic data.

The partial objectives are the following:

  • Implementation of classic pattern mining techniques and new techniques such as supervised descriptive pattern mining in the study of cancer data for the search of molecular biomarkers that describe different functional modules affected in the types of cancer studied.
  • Development of an open-source software tool that integrates the different methods of analysis and procedures used.

At the ages of fifty four fifty can advise you that I'onal ended up lucky not to have wanted the product sooner, nevertheless loosing your partner of 25yrs 2010 became a curve which modified me personally for a long time. Now there came out a place exactly where click to read fifty had visit to have my tastes fulfilled only to find out this plumbing related desired just a little poke. So I questioned my own Computer system doc intended for a little something with tiny facet is affecting. He or she provided the particular recommended you read Cialis regular 5mg. 1st working day fifty had 5mg without any help to discover more help in the event that t discovered virtually any difference considering the woman never was planning determine, which'azines our system and also l'meters being dedicated to the idea. Regardless, these materials Operates, along with is useful. And click here then up coming night time with your ex m took 10mg at 8pm, and the rest is heritage. Through 13:double zero fifty manufactured my own move, but it appeared to be the most element to live in place until finally the sunlight came up upward , 100%Pleased :)When i't thirty-two as well as gone pretty much 1,5 years without intercourse. I had created pop over to this website plenty of anxiousness related penile erection challenges. And hop over to here then We found this specific great which woman My spouse and i started courting, along with first 2 times us all sex didn'to determine which properly, and i also appeared to be worried about just what exactly your woman considered this matter. We obtained braveness to visit and request cialis approved from the health practitioner. When i had taken 10mg product and it labored perfectly. I could truthfully continue on having sex many times a day without the problems. Merely bad thing is a smallish frustration. For me this can be truly a wonder drug.
