DETIRE: a hybrid deep learning model for identifying viral sequences from metagenomes.

ABSTRACT: A metagenome contains all DNA sequences from an environmental sample, including viruses, bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. Since viruses are of huge abundance and have caused vast mortality and morbidity to human society in history as a type of major pathogens, detecting viruses from metagenomes plays a crucial role in analyzing the viral component of samples and is the very first step for clinical diagnosis. However, detecting viral fragments directly from the metagenomes is still a tough issue because of the existence of a huge number of short sequences. In this study a hybrid Deep lEarning model for idenTifying vIral sequences fRom mEtagenomes (DETIRE) is proposed to solve the problem. First, the graph-based nucleotide sequence embedding strategy is utilized to enrich the expression of DNA sequences by training an embedding matrix. Then, the spatial and sequential features are extracted by trained CNN and BiLSTM networks, respectively, to enrich the features of short sequences. Finally, the two sets of features are weighted combined for the final decision. Trained by 220,000 sequences of 500 bp subsampled from the Virus and Host RefSeq genomes, DETIRE identifies more short viral sequences (<1,000 bp) than the three latest methods, such as DeepVirFinder, PPR-Meta, and CHEER. DETIRE is freely available at Github (https://github.com/crazyinter/DETIRE).

Project description:BackgroundThe zone adjacent to a transcription start site (TSS), namely, the promoter, is primarily involved in the process of DNA transcription initiation and regulation. As a result, proper promoter identification is critical for further understanding the mechanism of the networks controlling genomic regulation. A number of methodologies for the identification of promoters have been proposed. Nonetheless, due to the great heterogeneity existing in promoters, the results of these procedures are still unsatisfactory. In order to establish additional discriminative characteristics and properly recognize promoters, we developed the hybrid model for promoter identification (HMPI), a hybrid deep learning model that can characterize both the native sequences of promoters and the morphological outline of promoters at the same time. We developed the HMPI to combine a method called the PSFN (promoter sequence features network), which characterizes native promoter sequences and deduces sequence features, with a technique referred to as the DSPN (deep structural profiles network), which is specially structured to model the promoters in terms of their structural profile and to deduce their structural attributes.ResultsThe HMPI was applied to human, plant and Escherichia coli K-12 strain datasets, and the findings showed that the HMPI was successful at extracting the features of the promoter while greatly enhancing the promoter identification performance. In addition, after the improvements of synthetic sampling, transfer learning and label smoothing regularization, the improved HMPI models achieved good results in identifying subtypes of promoters on prokaryotic promoter datasets.ConclusionsThe results showed that the HMPI was successful at extracting the features of promoters while greatly enhancing the performance of identifying promoters on both eukaryotic and prokaryotic datasets, and the improved HMPI models are good at identifying subtypes of promoters on prokaryotic promoter datasets. The HMPI is additionally adaptable to different biological functional sequences, allowing for the addition of new features or models.
