Deep Unsupervised Learning for Biodiversity Analyses: Representation learning and clustering of bacterial, mitochondrial, and barcode DNA sequences
(University of Waterloo, 2024-05-22)Amid the recent surge in next-generation sequencing technologies, alignment-free algorithms stand out as a promising alternative to traditional alignment-based methods in phylogenetic analyses. Specifically, the use of ... -
DNA Computing: Modelling in Formal Languages and Combinatorics on Words, and Complexity Estimation
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-20)DNA computing, an essential area of unconventional computing research, encodes problems using DNA molecules and solves them using biological processes. This thesis contributes to the theoretical research in DNA computing ... -
MT-MAG: Accurate and interpretable machine learning for complete or partial taxonomic assignments of metagenome-assembled genomes
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-19)We propose MT-MAG, a novel machine learning-based software tool for the complete or partial hierarchically-structured taxonomic classification of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). MT-MAG is capable of classifying large ...
