Abstract
Prediction of in-vivo protein-DNA binding is an important, but challenging task in the broad field of computational biology. Although some methods based on deep learning have succeed in modeling in-vivo protein-DNA binding, they often simply extract the sequence features from the original DNA sequence without consideration of other sequence features, such as their reverse, complementary and reverse complementary sequences. Also, one-hot encoding of DNA sequence is vulnerable to the curse of dimensionality, which leads to unwanted equidistance of pairwise sequences. To address these problems, we propose D2VCB (dna2vec, convolution, bi-LSTM), a novel hybrid deep neural network framework using dna2vec to predict in-vivo protein-DNA binding events. We extract input features from DNA original sequences, reverse sequences, complementary and complementary reverse sequences, and then use dna2vec to compute a distributed representation of k-mer. In our D2VCB model, the convolution layer captures motif features, while the recurrent layer captures long-term dependencies among motif features so as to improve prediction accuracy. Our performance comparison experiments show that D2VCB outperforms significantly other existing methods in terms of multiple performance metrics.Keywords
