搜索控制DNA灵活性的序列特征

Searching for sequence features that control DNA flexibility

Yaojun Zhang, Aakash Basu, Taekjip Ha, William Bialek

摘要:

现代基因组学实验测量了数千个DNA序列的功能行为。我们建议,特别是当这些序列是随机选择的,这是很自然的计算序列和测量行为之间的关联函数。例如,在DNA柔性对序列依赖性的简单模型中,关联函数可以直接解释为相互作用参数。对最近实验的分析表明,这是令人惊讶的有效,直接导致DNA灵活性和预测的不同特征的提取,其准确性与更复杂的模型一样。这种方法遵循统计物理学中关联函数的常规使用,并将对相关DNA序列特征的搜索与对感觉神经元分析中的相关刺激特征的搜索相连接。

英文摘要:

Modern genomics experiments measure functional behaviors for many thousands of DNA sequences. We suggest that, especially when these sequences are chosen at random, it is natural to compute correlation functions between sequences and measured behaviors. In simple models for the dependence of DNA flexibility on sequence, for example, correlation functions can be interpreted directly as interaction parameters. Analysis of recent experiments shows that this is surprisingly effective, leading directly to extraction of distinct features for DNA flexibility and predictions that are as accurate as more complex models. This approach follows the conventional use of correlation functions in statistical physics and connects the search for relevant DNA sequence features to the search for relevant stimulus features in the analysis of sensory neurons.
