Abstract
En 中文
Many noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been identified, and many of them play vital roles in various biological processes, including gene expression regulation, epigenetic regulation, transcription, and control. Recently, a few observations revealed that ncRNAs are translated into functional peptides. Moreover, many computational methods have been developed to predict the coding potential of these transcripts, which contributes to a deeper investigation of their functions. However, most of these are used to distinguish ncRNAs and mRNAs. It is important to develop a highly accurate computational tool for identifying the coding potential of ncRNAs, thereby contributing to the discovery of novel peptides. In this Article, we propose a novel BiLSTM And Transformer encoder-based model (nBAT) with intrinsic features encoded for ncRNA coding potential prediction. In nBAT, we introduce a learnable position encoding mechanism to better obtain the embeddings of the ncRNA sequence. Moreover, we extract 43 intrinsic features from different perspectives and encode these features into the Transformer encoder by calculating their distances. Our performance comparisons show that nBAT achieves a superior performance than the state-of-the-art methods for coding potential prediction on different datasets. We also apply the method to new ncRNAs for identifying the coding potential, and the results further indicate the competitive performance of nBAT. We expect the method can be exploited as a useful tool for high-throughput coding potential prediction for ncRNAs.
