A systematic benchmark of machine learning methods for protein-RNA interaction prediction.

ABSTRACT: RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are central actors of RNA post-transcriptional regulation. Experiments to profile-binding sites of RBPs in vivo are limited to transcripts expressed in the experimental cell type, creating the need for computational methods to infer missing binding information. While numerous machine-learning based methods have been developed for this task, their use of heterogeneous training and evaluation datasets across different sets of RBPs and CLIP-seq protocols makes a direct comparison of their performance difficult. Here, we compile a set of 37 machine learning (primarily deep learning) methods for in vivo RBP-RNA interaction prediction and systematically benchmark a subset of 11 representative methods across hundreds of CLIP-seq datasets and RBPs.
