Automated, customizable and efficient identification of 3D base pair modules with BayesPairing.

ABSTRACT: RNA structures possess multiple levels of structural organization. A secondary structure, made of Watson-Crick helices connected by loops, forms a scaffold for the tertiary structure. The 3D structures adopted by these loops are therefore critical determinants shaping the global 3D architecture. Earlier studies showed that these local 3D structures can be described as conserved sets of ordered non-Watson-Crick base pairs called RNA structural modules. Unfortunately, the computational efficiency and scope of the current 3D module identification methods are too limited yet to benefit from all the knowledge accumulated in the module databases. We present BayesPairing, an automated, efficient and customizable tool for (i) building Bayesian networks representing RNA 3D modules and (ii) rapid identification of 3D modules in sequences. BayesPairing uses a flexible definition of RNA 3D modules that allows us to consider complex architectures such as multi-branched loops and features multiple algorithmic improvements. We benchmarked our methods using cross-validation techniques on 3409 RNA chains and show that BayesPairing achieves up to ?70% identification accuracy on module positions and base pair interactions. BayesPairing can handle a broader range of motifs (versatility) and offers considerable running time improvements (efficiency), opening the door to a broad range of large-scale applications.

Project description:The use of solar photovoltaic systems (PVs) is increasing as a clean and affordable source of electric energy. The Pv cell is the main component of the PV system. To improve the performance, control, and evaluation of the PV system, it is necessary to provide accurate design and to define the intrinsic parameters of the solar cells. There are many methods for optimizing the parameters of the solar cells. The first class of methods is called the analytical methods that provide the model parameters using datasheet information or I-V curve data. The second class of methods is the optimization-based methods that define the problem as an optimization problem. The optimization problem objective is to minimize the error metrics and it is solved using metaheuristic optimization algorithms. The third class of methods is composed of a hybrid of both the analytical and the metaheuristic approaches, some parameters are computed by the analytical approach and the rest are found using metaheuristic optimization algorithms. Research in this area faces two challenges; (1) finding an optimal model for the parameters of the solar cells and (2) the lack of data about the photovoltaic cells. This paper proposes an optimization-based algorithm for accurately estimating the parameters of solar cells. It is using the Improved Equilibrium Optimizer algorithm (IEO). This algorithm is improved using the Opposition Based Learning (OBL) at the initialization phase of EO to improve its population diversity in the search space. Opposition-based Learning (OBL) is a new concept in machine learning inspired by the opposite relationship among entities. There are two common models for solar cells; the single diode model (SDM) and double diode model (DDM) have been used to demonstrate the capabilities of IEO in estimating the parameters of solar cells. The proposed methodology can find accurate solutions while reducing the computational cost. Compared to other existing techniques, the proposed algorithm yields less mean absolute error. The results were compared with seven optimization algorithms using data of different solar cells and PV panels. The experimental results revealed that IEO is superior to the most competitive algorithms in terms of the accuracy of the final solutions.
