Table_1_HN-CNN: A Heterogeneous Network Based on Convolutional Neural Network for m7 G Site Disease Association Prediction.DOCX

N7-methylguanosine (m7G) is a typical positively charged RNA modification, playing a vital role in transcriptional regulation. m7G can affect the biological processes of mRNA and tRNA and has associations with multiple diseases including cancers. Wet-lab experiments are cost and time ineffective for the identification of disease-related m7G sites. Thus, a heterogeneous network method based on Convolutional Neural Networks (HN-CNN) has been proposed to predict unknown associations between m7G sites and diseases. HN-CNN constructs a heterogeneous network with m7G site similarity, disease similarity, and disease-associated m7G sites to formulate features for m7G site-disease pairs. Next, a convolutional neural network (CNN) obtains multidimensional and irrelevant features prominently. Finally, XGBoost is adopted to predict the association between m7G sites and diseases. The performance of HN-CNN is compared with Naive Bayes (NB), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), as well as Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT) through 10-fold cross-validation. The average AUC of HN-CNN is 0.827, which is superior to others.
