Abstract: Purpose: Ribonucleic Acid Sequencing (RNA-Seq) is a technique that allows an efficient genome-wide analysis of gene expressions. Such analysis is a strategy for identifying hidden patterns in data, and those related to cancer-specific biomarkers. Prior analyses without samples of different cancer kinds used RNA-Seq data from the same type of cancer as the positive and negative samples. Therefore, different cancer types must be evaluated to uncover differentially expressed genes and perform multiple cancer classifications. Problem: Since gene expression reflects both the genetic make-up of an organism and the biochemical activities occurring in tissue and cells, it can be crucial in the early identification of cancer. The aim of this study is to classify the RNA-Sequence data into five different cancer forms, such as LUAD, BRCA, KIRC, LUSC, and UCEC, through an ensemble approach of machine learning algorithms. RNA-Seq data for five different cancer types from the UCI Machine Learning Repository are examined in this research. Methods: As a first step, the relevant features of RNA-Seq are extricated using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Then, the extricated features are given to the ensemble of machine learning classifiers to classify the type of cancer. The ensemble of classifiers is built using Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naive Bayes (NB), and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). Results: The results demonstrated that the proposed ensemble classifier outperformed the existing machine-learning approaches with an accuracy of 99.59%.
