TEclass—a tool for automated classification of unknown eukaryotic transposable elements

Abstract

Motivation: The large number of sequenced genomes required the development of software that reconstructs the consensus sequences of transposons and other repetitive elements. However, the available tools usually focus on the accurate identification of raw repeats and provide no information about the taxonomic position of the reconstructed consensi. TEclass is a tool to classify unknown transposable elements into their four main functional categories, which reflect their mode of transposition: DNA transposons, long terminal repeats (LTRs), long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs) and short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs). TEclass uses machine learning support vector machine (SVM) for classification based on oligomer frequencies. It achieves 90–97% accuracy in the classification of novel DNA and LTR repeats, and 75% for LINEs and SINEs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
