Machine Learning as a Tool for the Prediction of the Effect of Mutations on Protein Stability
Dúbrava, Juraj Ondrej ; Martínek, Tomáš (referee) ; Musil, Miloš (advisor)
The main focus of this thesis is the prediction of the effect of amino acid substitutions on protein stability. My goal was to develop a predictive tool for the classification of the effect of mutations by combining several machine learning techniques. The implemented predictor, which utilizes SVM and Random forest methods, has achieved higher accuracy than any of the integrated methods. The novel predictive tool was compared with the existing ones using independent testing dataset. The predictor has yield 67 % accuracy and MCC 0,3.

Interactive Database for the Storage and Maintenance of the Biological Data
Dúbrava, Juraj Ondrej ; Martínek, Tomáš (referee) ; Musil, Miloš (advisor)
Cieľom tejto práce je vytvorenie novej databázy dát pre proteínovú stabilitu, ktorá bude udržiavať a poskytovať experimentálne dáta. Výsledkom práce je databáza FireProtDB, ktorá poskytuje manuálne overené experimentálne dáta z dostupných zdrojov a implementuje grafické užívateľské rozhranie, ktoré poskytuje dôležité informácie o dátach spoločne s možnosťou vyhľadávania umožňujúcim vytvárať dotazy na mieru a cieliacim na užívateľov, ktorí hľadajú dáta pre vytváranie dátových sád pre nástroje využívajúce strojové učenie.

Mutations in MLH1 gene and MSI status as molecular characteristics of sporadic colorectal cancer
Čaja, Fabián
Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies in the Czech Republic. In general, there are two molecular pathways leading to CRC: one is characterized by chromosomal instability, the other by the deficiency in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. MutL homologue 1 (MLH1) gene, a member of the MMR gene-family, represents a key component of the MMR system, responsible for recognition of nucleotide mismatches occurring during DNA replication, and for the recruitment of repair proteins to correct the replication errors. According to literature, somatic mutations in MMR genes, and MLH1 in particular, hallmark sporadic, MMR deficient, CRC cases. We aimed at analyzing somatic events in MLH1 gene and the determination of microsatellite instability (MSI) status in 99 DNA samples from 96 patients with sporadic CRC. Mutations were screened by high resolution melting (HRM) curve analysis. Positive cases in each run were subsequently verified by automated sequencing. Mainly gene variants were found in MLH1 gene: We discovered two new variants, one in exon 2 at position c. 204 C>G, p. Ile68Met (98 C/C, 1C/G) and the other in exon 11 at position c. 973 C>T, p. Arg325Trp (98 C/C, 1 C/T). Only the latter variant c. 973 C>T was identified as somatic mutation. All other variants found in MLH1 gene...
