DNA Sequence of Hepatitis B Virus Clustering Using Hierarchical k-Means Algorithm

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Hepatitis B virus infection is one of the causes of hepatocellular carcinoma. It is a kind of DNA virus and has highly various genetic. In bioinformatics research, molecular evolution analysis is implemented to extract information from DNA sequence to nucleotide composition. The large volume of DNA sequence and costly complicates calculating of non-numerical nature of data, it is essential in the clustering task for describing data. Therefore, we propose the clustering method for the sequence using the Hierarchical k-Means clustering algorithm. The method is addressed to improve k-Means by defining an initial cluster center through the mean result of the hierarchical clustering method. The experiment result showed that the proposed method obtained higher performance measures than the conventional k-Means cluster algorithm.
