(4 yr) Chemistry Research interests: Application of AI techniques to decision and pattern recognition problems in Forensic Science. This includes DNA analysis where AI techniques can potentially be used in reading electrophoresis gels, interpretion of the gels and modelling the complex dynamics inherent in the movement of genetic markers through populations. Comments: I hope that this information is sufficient. The ability to interact with people in this group would be quite beneficial to me since I don't know of anyone who is working on the applications of AI to molecular biology. Most of the techniques and research related to Molecular Biology are along the lines of standard statistical techiniques when Forensic Scientists get involved. You are probably aware of "DNA Fingerprinting" being used in the Courts and certain numbers being quoted as to the odds of incorrect association being 1/ x billions. These are all based on the frequency of occurence of certain Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms found among sampled individuals in whatever database is being used. I am particularly interested in determining whether AI research can give rise to a more useful, intuitive and generally more elegant way of dealing with this information. I am currently experimenting with neural networks for pattern recognition problems and I would like to do some research on using cellular automata to model the dynamics of genetic markers in gene pools. Sorry if I kind of rambled on here...it is nice to communicate with someone who might even be REMOTELY interested in what I am talking about.

We have developped together two large knowledge bases in molecular biology. The first one, ColiGene, describes the regulation mechanisms of gene expression in E. coli. The second one, MultiMap, allows for the description of maps at different levels and for different living organisms, thus supporting comparisons and phylogenetic studies. These knowledge bases are supported and managed by our object-oriented knowledge base management system. We are specificaly working on object-based knowledge representation. The knowledge model we develop allows for the integration, within a single knowledge base, of descriptive knowledge (description of inter-related biological objects, such as genes, signals, operons, etc, according to several viewpoints), methodological and procedural knowledge (for example, knowledge on the tasks to be achieved when analysing DNA sequences, or on the ways to compute gene expressiveness), and textual knowledge (as annotations attached to the objects and organized into hypertext). -- Francois Rechenmann Unite de Recherche INRIA Rhone-Alpes LIFIA 46, avenue Felix Viallet Tel.

Comments: There are tables inn the database that include rows that are expressions for linking to other databases: |other-db-name| our_prot_id | their_prot_id | expr_to | expr_from where "expr_to" is an expression relating the protein sequence from our DB to trheir perotein sequence, i.e., if there is a sequence difference, how to derrive the sequence in the other database from the sequence in our database. expr_from allows you to move in the opposite direction. When we set up links to GenBank and EMBL, I will meed to devise functions "transcription," and "translation," but that is going to be messy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------* Dr. Jude Shavlik Computer Science Department University of Wisconsin 1210 W.
