With the emergence of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies, a large volume of sequence data in particular de novo sequencing was rapidly produced at relatively low costs. In this context, computational tools are increasingly important to assist in the identification of relevant information to understand the functioning of organisms. This work introduces BASiNET, an alignment-free tool for classifying biological sequences based on the feature extraction from complex network measurements. The method initially transform the sequences and represents them as complex networks. Then it extracts topological measures and constructs a feature vector that is used to classify the sequences. The method was evaluated in the classification of coding and non-coding RNAs of 13 species and compared to the CNCI, PLEK and CPC2 methods. BASiNET outperformed all compared methods in all adopted organisms and datasets. BASiNET have classified sequences in all organisms with high accuracy and low standard deviation, showing that the method is robust and non-biased by the organism. The proposed methodology is implemented in open source in R language and freely available for download at https://cran.r-project.org/package=BASiNET.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


RefSeq (tool)

RRID:SCR_003496

Collection of curated, non-redundant genomic DNA, transcript RNA, and protein sequences produced by NCBI. Provides a reference for genome annotation, gene identification and characterization, mutation and polymorphism analysis, expression studies, and comparative analyses. Accessed through the Nucleotide and Protein databases.

Ensembl (tool)

RRID:SCR_002344

Collection of genome databases for vertebrates and other eukaryotic species with DNA and protein sequence search capabilities. Used to automatically annotate genome, integrate this annotation with other available biological data and make data publicly available via web. Ensembl tools include BLAST, BLAT, BioMart and the Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) for all supported species.

PLEK (tool)

RRID:SCR_012132

An alignment-free software tool which uses a computational pipeline based on an improved k-mer scheme and a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm to distinguish lncRNAs from messenger RNAs (mRNAs), in the absence of genomic sequences or annotations. It is especially suitable for PacBio or 454 sequencing data and large-scale transcriptome data.

GENCODE (tool)

RRID:SCR_014966

Human and mouse genome annotation project which aims to identify all gene features in the human genome using computational analysis, manual annotation, and experimental validation.
