Plenary Lecture

Use of Intelligent Evolutionary Agents in the Analysis of Genomic Signals


Professor Paul Dan Cristea
Bio-Medical Engineering Center,
University "Politehnica" of Bucharest,
ROMANIA
E-mail: pcristea@dsp.pub.ro
 

Abstract: Surprising regularities in the distribution of nucleotides and pairs of nucleotides along the genomes of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes become evident when converting nucleotide sequences from symbolic to digital form. These regularities make the structure of a genome be less like that of a "plain text", which simply conveys a semantics in accordance to a grammar, and more like that of a "poem", which obeys additional structural rules that give "rhythm" and "rhyme". Direct applications of the rules satisfied by nucleotide sequences are (1) objective evaluation of sequencing process quality, (2) prediction of nucleotides sequences similarly to time series, (3) revealing of genome ancestral structure, (4) analysis of pathogen variability. Intelligent Evolutionary Agents are used to track pathogen variability, specifically to identify drug resistance mutations, without the need of the conventional lengthily and expensive phenotypic clinical studies that request pathogen culture.

 

Brief Biography of the Speaker:
Paul Cristea graduated the Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications of the University "Politehnica" of Bucharest (UPB) in 1962, the Faculty of Physics of the University of Bucharest in 1969, and got a Ph.D. in Technical Physics in 1970. Since then his research and teaching activities covered an extended area of Electrical Engineering and interdisciplinary domains including topics like Genomic Signals, Digital Signal and Image Processing, Neural and Evolutionary Systems, Evolutionary Intelligent Agents, Intelligent e-Learning Environments, a.o. He is the author or co-author of more then 130 published papers, 11 patents, and has contributed to more then 20 books in these fields. Currently, he is the director of the Bio-Medical Engineering Center of PUB, director of the Romanian Bioinformatics Society, and an associated member of the Romanian Academy.
