Computational analysis of biological data: Where are we?

There has been a great development in the field of computational modeling and simulation in biomedical research during the last ten years, in particular, in brain stimulation of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients and, recently, even in that of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. Computer modeling allo...

description There has been a great development in the field of computational modeling and simulation in biomedical research during the last ten years, in particular, in brain stimulation of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients and, recently, even in that of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. Computer modeling allows such electrical stimulations using statistics, bioinformatics and advanced machine-learning algorithms. The current book chapter discusses the advantages of computational modeling in studying biomedical research. Using computational modeling, classification algorithms can be applied to microarray and RNA sequencing data (such as hierarchical clustering - HCL, t-SNE and principal component analysis - PCA), and high-resolution images can be generated based on the analyzed data and patient samples.
