Abstract
A promoter is a DNA segment which plays a key role in regulating gene expression. Accurate identification of promoters is significant for understanding the regulatory mechanisms involved in gene expression and genetic disease treatment. Therefore, it is an urgent challenge to develop computational methods for identifying promoters. Most current methods were designed for promoter recognition on few species and required complex feature extraction methods in order to attain high recognition accuracy. Spiking neural networks have inherent recurrence and use spike-based sparse coding. Therefore, they have good property of processing spatio-temporal information and are well suited for learning sequence information. In this study, iPro-CSAF, a convolutional spiking neural network combined with spiking attention mechanism is designed for promoter recognition. The method extracts promoter…
