Rule-Based Knowledge Acquisition Method for Promoter Prediction in Human and Drosophila Species by Wen-Lin Huang, Chun-Wei Tung, Chyn Liaw, Hui-Ling Huang, Shinn-Ying Ho

“…PromHD identifies two feature subsets with 99 and 74 DNASDs and yields test accuracies of 96.4% and 97.5% in human and Drosophila species, respectively. Based on the 99- and 74-dimensional feature vectors, PromHD generates several if-then rules by using the decision tree mechanism for promoter prediction. …”

Efficient k-mer based curation of raw sequence data: application in Drosophila suzukii by Gautier, Mathieu

“…We applied it to high-throughput whole-genome raw sequence data for 236 Ind-Seq and 22 Pool-Seq samples of the invasive species Drosophila suzukii. We first used Clark software to build a dictionary of species-discriminating k–mers from the curated assemblies of 29 target drosophilid species (including D. melanogaster, D. simulans, D. subpulchrella, or D. biarmipes) and 12 common drosophila pathogens and commensals (including Wolbachia). …”
