iDNA4mC

iDNA4mC predicts DNA N4-methylcytosine (4mC) sites from DNA sequences to enable studies of the distribution and functional roles of this epigenetic modification.

Key Features:

• Computational prediction: Performs computational prediction of DNA N4-methylcytosine (4mC) sites as an alternative to experimental genome-wide detection methods.
• Encoding methodology: Encodes DNA sequences using nucleotide chemical properties and nucleotide frequency.
• Validation: Predictive performance evaluated using jackknife testing and cross-species testing.

Scientific Applications:

• Epigenetic research: Supports studies of 4mC impacts on gene regulation and gene expression.
• Genome-wide analyses: Provides genome-wide predictions of 4mC sites to investigate effects on biological processes and disease mechanisms.

Methodology:

Sequence encoding using nucleotide chemical properties and nucleotide frequency; predictive performance assessed by jackknife testing and cross-species testing.
