Predicting the Organelle Location of Noncoding RNAs Using Pseudo Nucleotide Compositions

Abstract Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are implicated in various biological processes. Recent findings have demonstrated that the function of ncRNAs correlates with their provenance. Therefore, the recognition of ncRNAs from different organelle genomes will be helpful to understand their molecular functions. However, the weakness of experimental techniques limits the progress toward studying organellar ncRNAs and their functional relevance. As a complement of experiments, computational method provides an important choice to identify ncRNA in different organelles. Thus, a computational model was developed to identify ncRNAs from kinetoplast and mitochondrion organelle genomes. In this model, RNA sequences are encoded by “pseudo dinucleotide composition.” It was observed by the jackknife test that the overall success rate achieved by the proposed model was 90.08 %. We hope that the proposed method will be helpful in predicting ncRNA organellar locations.
