Boltzmann machines are energy-based models that have been shown to provide an accurate statistical description of domains of evolutionary-related protein and RNA families. They are parametrized in terms of local biases accounting for residue conservation, and pairwise terms to model epistatic coevolution between residues. From the model parameters, it is possible to extract an accurate prediction of the three-dimensional contact map of the target domain. More recently, the accuracy of these models has been also assessed in terms of their ability in predicting mutational effects and generating in silico functional sequences. Our adaptive implementation of Boltzmann machine learning, adabmDCA, can be generally applied to both protein and RNA families and accomplishes several learning set-ups, depending on the complexity of the input data and on the user requirements. The code is fully available at https://github.com/anna-pa-m/adabmDCA. As an example, we have performed the learning of three Boltzmann machines modeling the Kunitz and Beta-lactamase2 protein domains and TPP-riboswitch RNA domain. The models learned by adabmDCA are comparable to those obtained by state-of-the-art techniques for this task, in terms of the quality of the inferred contact map as well as of the synthetically generated sequences. In addition, the code implements both equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium learning, which allows for an accurate and lossless training when the equilibrium one is prohibitive in terms of computational time, and allows for pruning irrelevant parameters using an information-based criterion.
Machine-learning models that learn from data to predict how protein sequence encodes function are emerging as a useful protein engineering tool. However, when using these models to suggest new protein designs, one must deal with the vast combinatoria
Sequences of nucleotides (for DNA and RNA) or amino acids (for proteins) are central objects in biology. Among the most important computational problems is that of sequence alignment, i.e. arranging sequences from different organisms in such a way to
We used machine learning methods to predict NaV1.7 inhibitors and found the model RF-CDK that performed best on the imbalanced dataset. Using the RF-CDK model for screening drugs, we got effective compounds K1. We use the cell patch clamp method to v
The rapidly developing theory of complex networks indicates that real networks are not random, but have a highly robust large-scale architecture, governed by strict organizational principles. Here, we focus on the properties of biological networks, d
The Boltzmann Machine (BM) is a neural network composed of stochastically firing neurons that can learn complex probability distributions by adapting the synaptic interactions between the neurons. BMs represent a very generic class of stochastic neur
