Article Abstract
Characterization and accurate prediction of recombination hotspots and coldspots have crucial implications for the mechanism of recombination. Several models have predicted recombination hot/cold spots successfully, but there is still much room for improvement. We present a novel classifier in which k-mer frequency, physical and thermodynamic properties of DNA sequences are incorporated in the form of weighted features. Applying the classifier to recombination hot/cold ORFs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we achieved an accuracy of 90%, which is ~5% higher than existing methods, such as iRSpot-PseDNC, IDQD and Random Forest. The model also predicted non-ORF recombination hot/cold spots sequences in S. cerevisiae with high accuracy. A broad applicability of the model in the field of classification is expected.

Characterization and identification of recombination hotspots provide important insights into the mechanism of recombination and genome evolution. In contrast with existing sequence-based models for predicting recombination hotspots which were defined in a ORF-based manner, here, we first defined recombination hot/cold spots based on public high-resolution Spo11-oligo-seq data, then characterized them in terms of DNA sequence and epigenetic marks, and finally presented classifiers to identify hotspots. We found that, in addition to some previously discovered DNA-based features like GC-skew, recombination hotspots in yeast can also be characterized by some remarkable features associated with DNA physical properties and shape.

Meiotic recombination plays an important role in the process of genetic evolution. Previous researches have shown that the recombination rates provide important information about the mechanism of recombination study. However, at present, most methods ignore the hidden correlation and spatial autocorrelation of the DNA sequence.

Meiotic recombination presents an uneven distribution across the genome. Genomic regions that exhibit at relatively high frequencies of recombination are called hotspots, whereas those with relatively low frequencies of recombination are called coldspots. Therefore, hotspots and coldspots would provide useful information for the study of the mechanism of recombination.

Pseudo dinucleotide composition (PseDNC) and Z curve showed excellent performance in the classification issues of nucleotide sequences in bioinformatics. Inspired by the principle of Z curve theory, we improved PseDNC to give the phase-specific PseDNC (psPseDNC). In this study, we used the prediction of recombination spots as a case to illustrate the capability of psPseDNC and also PseDNC fused with Z curve theory based on a novel machine learning method named large margin distribution machine (LDM).
