Abstract
En 中文
Promoter is a fundamental DNA element located around the transcription start site (TSS) and could regulate gene transcription. Promoter recognition is of great significance in determining transcription units, studying gene structure, analyzing gene regulation mechanisms, and annotating gene functional information. Many models have already been proposed to predict promoters. However, the performances of these methods still need to be improved. In this work, we combined pseudo k-tuple nucleotide composition (PseKNC) with position-correlation scoring function (PCSF) to formulate promoter sequences of Homo sapiens (H. sapiens), Drosophila melanogaster (D. melanogaster), Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis), and Escherichia coli (E. coli). Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR) algorithm and increment feature selection strategy were then adopted to find out optimal feature subsets. Support vector machine (SVM) was used to distinguish between promoters and non-promoters. In the 10-fold cross-validation test, accuracies of 93.3%, 93.9%, 95.7%, 95.2%, and 93.1% were obtained for H. sapiens, D. melanogaster, C. elegans, B. subtilis, and E. coli, with the areas under receiver operating curves (AUCs) of 0.974, 0.975, 0.981, 0.988, and 0.976, respectively. Comparative results demonstrated that our method outperforms existing methods for identifying promoters.
