Image compression techniques: A survey in lossless and lossy algorithms

It is well known that DNA sequence contains a certain amount of transcription factors (TF) binding sites, and only part of them are identified through biological experiments. However, these experiments are expensive and time-consuming. To overcome these problems, some computational methods, based on k-mer features or convolutional neural networks, have been proposed to identify TF binding sites from DNA sequences. Although these methods have good performance, the context information that relates to TF binding sites is still lacking. Research indicates that standard recurrent neural networks (RNN) and its variants have better performance in time-series data compared with other models. In this study, we propose a model, named KEGRU, to identify TF binding sites by combining Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) network with k-mer embedding. Firstly, DNA sequences are divided into k-mer sequences with a specified length and stride window. And then, we treat each k-mer as a word and pre-trained word representation model though word2vec algorithm. Thirdly, we construct a deep bidirectional GRU model for feature learning and classification. Experimental results have shown that our method has better performance compared with some state-of-the-art methods. Additional experiments about embedding strategy show that k-mer embedding will be helpful to enhance model performance. The robustness of KEGRU is proved by experiments with different k-mer length, stride window and embedding vector dimension.

Recurrent Neural Network for Predicting Transcription Factor Binding Sites

Three-channel convolutional neural networks for vegetable leaf disease recognition

Although Deep learning algorithms have outperformed conventional methods in predicting the sequence specificities of DNA-protein binding, they lack to consider the dependencies among nucleotides and the diverse binding lengths for different transcription factors (TFs). To address the above two limitations simultaneously, in this paper, we propose a high-order convolutional neural network architecture (HOCNN), which employs a high-order encoding method to build high-order dependencies among nucleotides, and a multi-scale convolutional layer to capture the motif features of different length. The experimental results on real ChIP-seq datasets show that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art deep learning method (DeepBind) in the motif discovery task. In addition, we provide further insights about the importance of introducing additional convolutional kernels and the degeneration problem of importing high-order in the motif discovery task.

High-Order Convolutional Neural Network Architecture for Predicting DNA-Protein Binding Sites

Post-translational modification of protein is one of the most important biological processions in the field of proteomics and bioinformatics. Pupylation is a novel post translational modification which the small, intrinsically disordered prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein is conjugated to lysine residues of potential segments. Both the experimental and computational prediction methods of such modified sites have proved to be a challenging issue. Computational methods mainly aimed at extracting effective features from the potential protein segments. In this paper, the statistical feature of adjacent amino acid residues has been proposed and the novel feature is combined appearance of adjacent amino acid and the BLOSUM62 matrix. The Neural Network and the Naive Bayesian model have been employed as the classification model in this work. Such model will also be utilised to deal with many other issues in the field of computational biology.
