A Deep Semi-Supervised Framework for Accurate Modelling of Orphan Sequences

Show abstract
Accurate modelling of a single orphan protein sequence in the absence of homology information has remained a challenge for several decades. Although not as performant as their homology-based counterparts, single-sequence bioinformatic methods are not constrained by the requirement of evolutionary information and so have a swathe of applications and uses. By taking a bioinformatics approach to semi-supervised machine learning we develop Profile Augmentation of Single Sequences (PASS), a simple but powerful framework for developing accurate single-sequence methods. To demonstrate the effectiveness of PASS we apply it to the mature field of secondary structure prediction. In doing so we develop S4PRED, the successor to the open-source PSIPRED-Single method, which achieves an unprecedented Q3 score of 75.3% on the standard CB513 test. PASS provides a blueprint for the development of a new generation of predictive methods, advancing our ability to model individual protein sequences.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
