Finding RNA-Protein Interaction Sites Using HMMs.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: RNA-binding proteins play important roles in the various stages of RNA maturation through binding to its target RNAs. Cross-linking immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughput sequencing (CLIP-Seq) has made it possible to identify the targeting sites of RNA-binding proteins in various cell culture systems and tissue types on a genome-wide scale. Several Hidden Markov model-based (HMM) approaches have been suggested to identify protein-RNA binding sites from CLIP-Seq datasets. In this chapter, we describe how HMM can be applied to analyze CLIP-Seq datasets, including the bioinformatics preprocessing steps to extract count information from the sequencing data before HMM and the downstream analysis steps following peak-calling.
