Application of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to Biological Sequence Analysis
Lachlan CoinPeter Doherty Institute
Machine learning has a long history of application to the analysis of DNA, RNA and protein sequence data. In this talk I will give an overview of the development and applications of Artificial Intelligence in analysis of DNA, RNA and protein sequences over the past 20 years. The first application I will discuss is development of methods for finding distant protein homology, and for identifying structural protein domains. The second application I will discuss is development of methods for analysing electrical signal from nanopore sequencing devices to carry out base-calling and identify RNA modifications. The third application I will discuss is methodology for using AI to annotate DNA sequence data.
