A consistent improvement of DCA over MI and MIapc is also observed when going to a larger set of RNA families.

Direct coupling analysis or DCA is an umbrella term comprising several methods for analyzing sequence data in computational biology. Hwa
For the prediction using DCA scores, the sensitivity and precision of the Rfam consensus structure (when evaluated against the PDB secondary structure) are reached close to a cutoff of L positive entries for our selection of riboswitches, while the predictions using MI and MIapc remain less accurate at comparable sensitivity, cf. by (53,54), which use the output of DCA (or the very similar PSICOV(22)) together with other features like predicted secondary structure information and solvent accessibility as an input to machine learning tools. Morcos F, Pagnani A, Lunt B, Bertolino A, Marks DS, Sander C, Zecchina R, Onuchic JN, Hwa T, Weigt M. Direct-coupling analysis of residue coevolution captures native contacts across many protein families. The accessible command-line user interface and the significant speedup within parallel execution make hoDCA suitable for contact prediction in a variety of proteins, using biochemical inspired alphabet reduction schemes. Further analysis shows that, among the ungapped sequences, a majority of 54% is exclusively and fully compatible with the DCA predicted base pairing, while only 2% is exclusively and fully compatible with the selected PDB structure.

As is shown in the right panels of Figure 4, the remaining DCA predictions contain substantially higher contact fractions as compared to MI and MIapc, but they remain still distant from the best possible prediction represented by the black line, where all contacts are listed before the first non-contact is included.
For tertiary structure prediction, we follow the general procedures from (48) in Rosetta.

In the second column we show the ratio between the effective number of sequences in the alignment (Meff—defined as the number of sequences with pairwise sequence identities below 90%, cf. The DCA pipeline is based on three steps, cf. It might be interesting to integrate DCA scores into state-of-the-art methods like RNAalifold (47).

To avoid these two effects, we adopt the following strategy for constructing the pair-scoring matrix for a specific target sequence: The matrix is prefilled with the negative value -1 for all incompatible pairs, possible base pairs get zero pair score. However, almost comparable advantages over this alignment are achieved by improving the alignment quality at a fixed number of sequences, or by improving the sampling of the RNA family by the full Rfam alignment. http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/content/28/2/184.full.pdf+html.

Less than 6% of all structures in the RCSB Protein Data Bank (7) contain RNA. Here, we implemented hoDCA, an extension of DCA by incorporating three-body couplings into the Hamiltonian. Its TP rate r0 is thus given by the fraction of TP contacts in the entire remaining list of residue pairs.

First, the determination of multiple sequence alignments for RNA is a complicated and not fully solved problem, and the procedures used in producing large Rfam MSAs might still lack accuracy. Covariance models for comparative RNA sequence analysis are well known (30,31): MI has been successfully used to infer base pairs and to predict secondary structures (30,32,33). This leads to a substantial increase in the accuracy of predicted contact maps, with immediate applications to predicting tertiary and quaternary protein structures as diverse as globular proteins (23,24), protein complexes (25–27), active conformations (28) or membrane proteins (29). 10, Darmstadt, 64287, Germany, Department of Computer Science, TU Darmstadt, Karolinenpl.
