BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous ?22 nt RNAs that are identified in
many species as powerful regulators of gene expressions. Experimental
identification of miRNAs is still slow since miRNAs are difficult to isolate by
cloning due to their low expression, low stability, tissue specificity and the
high cost of the cloning procedure. Thus, computational identification of miRNAs
from genomic sequences provide a valuable complement to cloning. Different
approaches for identification of miRNAs have been proposed based on homology,
thermodynamic parameters, and cross-species comparisons. RESULTS: The present
paper focuses on the integration of miRNA classifiers in a meta-classifier and
the identification of miRNAs from metagenomic sequences collected from different
environments. An ensemble of classifiers is proposed for miRNA hairpin prediction
based on four well-known classifiers (Triplet SVM, Mipred, Virgo and EumiR), with
non-identical features, and which have been trained on different data. Their
decisions are combined using a single hidden layer neural network to increase the
accuracy of the predictions. Our ensemble classifier achieved 89.3% accuracy,
82.2% f-measure, 74% sensitivity, 97% specificity, 92.5% precision and 88.2%
negative predictive value when tested on real miRNA and pseudo sequence data. The
area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of our classifier is 0.9
which represents a high performance index.The proposed classifier yields a
significant performance improvement relative to Triplet-SVM, Virgo and EumiR and
a minor refinement over MiPred.The developed ensemble classifier is used for
miRNA prediction in mine drainage, groundwater and marine metagenomic sequences
downloaded from the NCBI sequence reed archive. By consulting the miRBase
repository, 179 miRNAs have been identified as highly probable miRNAs. Our new
approach could thus be used for mining metagenomic sequences and finding new and
homologous miRNAs. CONCLUSIONS: The paper investigates a computational tool for
miRNA prediction in genomic or metagenomic data. It has been applied on three
metagenomic samples from different environments (mine drainage, groundwater and
marine metagenomic sequences). The prediction results provide a set of extremely
potential miRNA hairpins for cloning prediction methods. Among the ensemble
prediction obtained results there are pre-miRNA candidates that have been
validated using miRbase while they have not been recognized by some of the base
classifiers.
