Fungi UCR Archive Dataset

This dataset is part of the UCR Archive maintained by University of Southampton researchers. Please cite a relevant or the latest full archive release if you use the datasets. See http://www.timeseriesclassification.com/.

The dataset contains high-resolution melt curves of the rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of 51 strains of 18 fungal species. High Resolution Melt (HRM) analysis is a powerful technique in molecular biology for the detection of mutations, polymorphisms and epigenetic differences in double-stranded DNA samples  The melt profile of the ITS region is unique to each species and conserved across different strains of the same species.  There are 18 classes corresponding to species name.  - Class 1: A.flavus - Class 2: A.fumigatus - Class 3: A.terreus - Class 4: C.albicans - Class 5: C.dubliniensis - Class 6: C.gattii - Class 7: C.glabrata - Class 8: C.lusitaniae - Class 9: C.neoformans - Class 10: C.orthopsilosis - Class 11: C.parapsilosis - Class 12: C.tropicalis - Class 13: C.zeylanoides - Class 14: D.hansenii - Class 15: M.guilliermondii - Class 16: P.kudriavzevii - Class 17: R.mucilaginosa - Class 18: T.marneffei    There is nothing to infer from the order of examples in the train and test set.  Data created by Lu, Sha et al.
