RNA-seq

RNA-seq

RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases.
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

Experimental RNAi

Experimental RNAi

RNA interference (RNAi) is a cellular mechanism that inhibits gene expression by suppressing its transcription or activating the RNA degradation process. The mechanism was discovered by Andrew Fire and Craig Mello in 1998 in plants. Today, it is observed in almost all eukaryotes, including protozoa, flies, nematodes, insects, parasites, and mammals. This precise cellular mechanism of gene silencing has been developed into a technique that provides an efficient way to identify and determine the...

Bioinformatics
Computational biology

Background:

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are essential regulators of gene expression in plants, influencing growth, development, and stress adaptation.
Accurate identification of plant-specific RBPs is critical for advancing our understanding of gene regulation and for genetic improvement strategies in agriculture.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a highly accurate computational method for predicting plant RNA-binding proteins.
To enhance the prediction of plant RBPs by integrating shallow and deep learning approaches.

Main Methods:

An ensemble learning framework was developed, combining Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression (LR), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), and LightGBM predictions with an enhanced TextCNN model.
K-Peptide Composition (KPC) encoding with k=1, 2 generated a 420-dimensional feature vector, extended to 424 dimensions with ensemble outputs.
Feature redundancy was minimized using a Pearson correlation threshold of 0.80.

Main Results:

The proposed method achieved high accuracy on a benchmark dataset (97.20% ACC with 5-fold cross-validation) and an independent dataset (99.72% ACC, 99.72% F1-score, 99.45% MCC).
Performance significantly surpassed existing methods, outperforming RBPLight by 12.98% and the original TextCNN by 25.23% in accuracy.
The method demonstrated superior efficiency and accuracy compared to PSSM-based approaches.

Conclusions:

The developed ensemble learning method offers a powerful and accurate tool for large-scale prediction of plant RNA-binding proteins.
This advancement facilitates deeper insights into plant gene regulation and supports efforts in crop genetic improvement.
