Combining scatter search with simulated annealing for optimizing protein localization prediction
摘要
Metaheuristic applications in bioinformatics are limited, while significant advancements in classification and recognition systems will aid medical experts in the diagnosis of disease for a healthy life. This study aimed to predict the location of the proteins within cells, which is a crucial task in computational biology and bioinformatics. Accurate localization is essential to understanding protein function, cellular roles, and disease connections. This study introduces a hybrid metaheuristic approach that combines Scatter Search (SS) with Simulated Annealing (SA) through established probability distributions to predict protein localization sites in Yeast and E. coli datasets. Building upon the Scatter Search-Simulated Annealing Algorithm’s proven success in addressing Flexible Manufacturing System Layout challenges(Krishnan et al.
