Abstract
IntroductionLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in genetic markers, genome rearrangement, chromatin modifications, and other biological processes. Increasing evidence suggests that lncRNA functions are closely related to their subcellular localization. However, the distribution of lncRNAs in different subcellular localizations is imbalanced. The number of lncRNAs located in the nucleus is more than ten times that in the exosome.MethodsIn this study, we propose a new oversampling method to construct a predictive dataset and develop a predictive model called LncSTPred. This model improves the Adaboost algorithm for subcellular localization prediction using 3-mer, 3-RF sequence, and minimum free energy structure features.Results and DiscussionBy using our improved Adaboost algorithm, better prediction accuracy for lncRNA subcellular localization was obtained. In addition, we evaluated feature importance by using the F-score and analyzed the influence of highly relevant features on lncRNAs. Our study shows that the ANA features may be a key factor for predicting lncRNA subcellular localization, which correlates with the composition of stems and loops in the secondary structure of lncRNAs.
期刊介绍:
Much of contemporary investigation in the life sciences is devoted to the molecular-scale understanding of the relationships between genes and the environment — in particular, dynamic alterations in the levels, modifications, and interactions of cellular effectors, including proteins. Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences offers an international publication platform for basic as well as applied research; we encourage contributions spanning both established and emerging areas of biology. To this end, the journal draws from empirical disciplines such as structural biology, enzymology, biochemistry, and biophysics, capitalizing as well on the technological advancements that have enabled metabolomics and proteomics measurements in massively parallel throughput, and the development of robust and innovative computational biology strategies. We also recognize influences from medicine and technology, welcoming studies in molecular genetics, molecular diagnostics and therapeutics, and nanotechnology.
Our ultimate objective is the comprehensive illustration of the molecular mechanisms regulating proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and small metabolites in organisms across all branches of life.
In addition to interesting new findings, techniques, and applications, Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences will consider new testable hypotheses to inspire different perspectives and stimulate scientific dialogue. The integration of in silico, in vitro, and in vivo approaches will benefit endeavors across all domains of the life sciences.
