Multi-scale parametric spectral analysis for exon detection in DNA sequences based on forward-backward linear prediction and singular value decomposition of the double-base curves.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a new method for exon detection in DNA sequences based on multi-scale parametric spectral analysis. A forward-backward linear prediction (FBLP) with the singular value decomposition (SVD) algorithm FBLP-SVD is applied to the double-base curves (DB-curves) of a DNA sequence using a variable moving window sizes to estimate the signal spectrum at multiple scales. Simulations are done on short human genes in the range of 11bp to 2032bp and the results show that our proposed method out-performs the classical Fourier transform method. The multi-scale approach is shown to be more effective than using a single scale with a fixed window size. In addition, our method is flexible as it requires no training data.

Project description:BackgroundBoth microarrays and quantitative real-time PCR are convenient tools for studying the transcriptional levels of genes. The former is preferable for large scale studies while the latter is a more targeted technique. Because of platform-dependent systematic effects, simple comparisons or merging of datasets obtained by these technologies are difficult, even though they may often be desirable. These difficulties are exacerbated if there is only partial overlap between the experimental conditions and genes probed in the two datasets.ResultsWe show here that the generalized singular value decomposition provides a practical tool for merging a small, targeted dataset obtained by quantitative real-time PCR of specific genes with a much larger microarray dataset. The technique permits, for the first time, the identification of genes present in only one dataset co-expressed with a target gene present exclusively in the other dataset, even when experimental conditions for the two datasets are not identical. With the rapidly increasing number of publically available large scale microarray datasets the latter is frequently the case. The method enables us to discover putative candidate genes involved in the biosynthesis of the (1,3;1,4)-beta-D-glucan polysaccharide found in plant cell walls.ConclusionWe show that the generalized singular value decomposition provides a viable tool for a combined analysis of two gene expression datasets with only partial overlap of both gene sets and experimental conditions. We illustrate how the decomposition can be optimized self-consistently by using a judicious choice of genes to define it. The ability of the technique to seamlessly define a concept of "co-expression" across both datasets provides an avenue for meaningful data integration. We believe that it will prove to be particularly useful for exploiting large, publicly available, microarray datasets for species with unsequenced genomes by complementing them with more limited in-house expression measurements.
