Introduction: Neddylation is a highly dynamic and reversible post-translatiNeddylation is a highly dynamic and reversible post-translational modification. The abnormality of neddylation has previously been shown to be closely related to some human diseases. The detection of neddylation sites is essential for elucidating the regulation mechanisms of protein neddylation.onal modification which has been found to be involved in various biological processes and closely associated with many diseases. The accurate identification of neddylation sites is necessary to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms of neddylation. As the traditional experimental methods are time consuming and expensive, it is desired to develop computational methods to predict neddylation sites. In this study, a novel predictor named NeddPred is proposed to predict lysine neddylation sites. An effective feature extraction method, bi-profile bayes encoding, is employed to encode neddylation sites. Moreover, a fuzzy support vector machine algorithm is proposed to solve the class imbalance and noise problem in the prediction of neddylation sites. As illustrated by 10-fold cross-validation, NeddPred achieves an excellent performance with a Matthew's correlation coefficient of 0.7082 and an area under receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.9769. Independent tests show that NeddPred significantly outperforms existing neddylation sites predictor NeddyPreddy. Therefore, NeddPred can be a complement to the existing tools for the prediction of neddylation sites. A user-friendly web-server for NeddPred is established at 123.206.31.171/NeddPred/. Objective: As the detection of the lysine neddylation sites by the traditional experimental method is often expensive and time-consuming, it is imperative to design computational methods to identify neddylation sites. Methods: In this study, a bioinformatics tool named NeddPred is developed to identify underlying protein neddylation sites. A bi-profile bayes feature extraction is used to encode neddylation sites and a fuzzy support vector machine model is utilized to overcome the problem of noise and class imbalance in the prediction. Results: Matthew's correlation coefficient of NeddPred achieved 0.7082 and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.9769. Independent tests show that NeddPred significantly outperforms existing lysine neddylation sites predictor NeddyPreddy. Conclusion: Therefore, NeddPred can be a complement to the existing tools for the prediction of neddylation sites. A user-friendly webserver for NeddPred is accessible at 123.206.31.171/NeddPred/.

Yoruba Language

Yorùbá language is one of the three main languages that is been spoken in Nigeria. It is a tonal language that carries an accent on the vowel alphabets. There are twenty-five (25) alphabets in Yorùbá language with one of the alphabets a digraph (GB). Due to the difficulty in typing handwritten Yorùbá documents, there is a need to develop a handwritten recognition system that can convert the handwritten texts to digital format. This study discusses the offline Yorùbá handwritten word recognition system (OYHWR) that recognizes Yorùbá uppercase alphabets. Handwritten characters and words were obtained from different writers using the paint application and M708 graphics tablets. The characters were used for training and the words were used for testing. Pre-processing was done on the images and the geometric features of the images were extracted using zoning and gradient-based feature extraction. Geometric features are the different line types that form a particular character such as the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines. The geometric features used are the number of horizontal lines, number of vertical lines, number of right diagonal lines, number of left diagonal lines, total length of all horizontal lines, total length of all vertical lines, total length of all right slanting lines, total length of all left-slanting lines and the area of the skeleton. The characters are divided into 9 zones and gradient feature extraction was used to extract the horizontal and vertical components and geometric features in each zone. The words were fed into the support vector machine classifier and the performance was evaluated based on recognition accuracy. Support vector machine is a two-class classifier, hence a multiclass SVM classifier least square support vector machine (LSSVM) was used for word recognition. The one vs one strategy and RBF kernel were used and the recognition accuracy obtained from the tested words ranges between 66.7%, 83.3%, 85.7%, 87.5%, and 100%. The low recognition rate for some of the words could be as a result of the similarity in the extracted features.
