Abstract

Detecting outliers in gene–protein mapping that reveal the presence of neuro-degenerative disorders or distinguishes between two different neuro-degenerations is an unexplored research area. This research work proposes a new methodology based on graphs for detecting outliers that relate the gene–protein mapping anchored on their physicochemical properties. The results of this study have revealed the exact protein physicochemical properties and the corresponding gene that is mapped to that protein. This research work makes the following contributions: (i) Proposes a simple graphical approach to visualize the gene–protein mapping for neuro-degenerative disorders based on their structural and physicochemical properties (ii) Generation of a pre-processed database by feature extraction from multiple web servers (iii) Proposed methodology of extracting outliers from tabulated (supervised/unsupervised) data can be extended to detect outliers from any dataset. The outliers that have been detected by this methodology were further studied using the REVIGO server that reveals the genetic functionality of the genes in maintaining healthy human activity. The outliers have reported no significant contribution and hence it is believed that this method can be extended to detect noisy outlier data from other biological and clinical datasets.
