CNNLSTMac4CPred: A Hybrid Model for N4-Acetylcytidine Prediction
AbstractN4-Acetylcytidine (ac4C) is a highly conserved post-transcriptional and an extensively existing RNA modification, playing versatile roles in the cellular processes. Due to the limitation of techniques and knowledge, large-scale identification of ac4C is still a challenging task. RNA sequences are like sentences containing semantics in the natural language. Inspired by the semantics of language, we proposed a hybrid model for ac4C prediction. The model used long short-term memory and convolution neural network to extract the semantic features hidden in the sequences. The semantic and the two traditional features (k-...

Dual Attention Mechanisms and Feature Fusion Networks Based Method for Predicting LncRNA-Disease Associations
AbstractLncRNAs play a part in numerous momentous processes of biology such as disease diagnoses, preventions and treatments. The associations between various diseases and lncRNAs are one of the crucial approaches to learn the role and status of lncRNAs in human diseases. With the researches on lncRNA and diseases, multiple methods based on neural network have been employed to predict these associations. However, the deep and complicated characteristic representations of lncRNA-disease associations were failed to be extracted, and the discriminative contributions of the interactions, correlations, and similarities among mi...

Multiple Protein Subcellular Locations Prediction Based on Deep Convolutional Neural Networks with Self-Attention Mechanism
AbstractAs an important research field in bioinformatics, protein subcellular location prediction is critical to reveal the protein functions and provide insightful information for disease diagnosis and drug development. Predicting protein subcellular locations remains a challenging task due to the difficulty of finding representative features and robust classifiers. Many feature fusion methods have been widely applied to tackle the above issues. However, they still suffer from accuracy loss due to feature redundancy. Furthermore, multiple protein subcellular locations prediction is more complicated since it is fundamental...

FSCAM: CAM-Based Feature Selection for Clustering scRNA-seq
AbstractCell type determination based on transcriptome profiles is a key application of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). It is usually achieved through unsupervised clustering. Good feature selection is capable of improving the clustering accuracy and is a crucial component of single-cell clustering pipelines. However, most current single-cell feature selection methods are univariable filter methods ignoring gene dependency. Even the multivariable filter methods developed in recent years only consider “one-to-many” relationship between genes. In this paper, a novel single-cell feature selection method based on c...

EnANNDeep: An Ensemble-based lncRNA –protein Interaction Prediction Framework with Adaptive k-Nearest Neighbor Classifier and Deep Models
AbstractlncRNA –protein interactions (LPIs) prediction can deepen the understanding of many important biological processes. Artificial intelligence methods have reported many possible LPIs. However, most computational techniques were evaluated mainly on one dataset, which may produce prediction bias. More import antly, they were validated only under cross validation on lncRNA–protein pairs, and did not consider the performance under cross validations on lncRNAs and proteins, thus fail to search related proteins/lncRNAs for a new lncRNA/protein. Under an ensemble learning framework (EnANNDeep) composed of adaptivek-near...

Prediction of Potential MicroRNA Disease Association Using Kernelized Bayesian Matrix Factorization
AbstractMicroRNA (miRNA) molecules, which are effective in the formation and progression of many different diseases, are 18 22 nucleotides in length and make up a type of non-coding RNA. Predicting disease-related microRNAs is crucial for understanding the pathogenesis of disease and for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases. Many computational techniques have been studied and developed, as the experimental techniques used to find novel miRNAdisease associations in biology are costly. In this paper, a Kernelized Bayesian Matrix Factorization (KBMF) technique was suggested to predict new relations among miRNAs ...

RSCMDA: Prediction of Potential miRNA Disease Associations Based on a Robust Similarity Constraint Learning Method
In this study, we proposed a new method based on similarity constrained learning (RSCMDA) to infer disease-associated miRNAs. Considering the problems of noise and incomplete information in current biological datasets, we designed a new framework RSCMDA, which can learn a new disease similarity network and miRNA similarity network based on the existing biological information, and then update the predicted miRNA disease associations using robust similarity constraint learning method. Consequently, the AUC scores obtained in the global and local cross-validation of RSCMDA are 0.9465 and 0.8494, respectively, which are super...
