m 5 C-TNKmer: Identification of 5-methylated base Cytosine of Ribonucleic Acid using Supervised Machine Learning Techniques

5-methylcytosine (m 5 C) is a widely known epigenetic moderation in RNA types. Methyltransferases catalyze the genesis of m5C. This site of RNA plays a crucial role in many biological activities. For many years in DNA, the synthetic process and biological role of m 5 C sites have remained the concentrating domain for researchers. Recently, many characters of RNA m 5 C sites have been discovered, but it is still considered in their infancy. The accurate and systematic detection and classification of m 5 C remains a challenging task. The existence of m 5 C sites shows a thriving role in numerous organic activities. Machine learning techniques are alternatives to laboratory experiments, which will ease the m 5 C site’s identification in Homo sapiens. This article presents a novel computational model named m 5 C-TNkmer to extract RNA sequences. The model is enriched with the k-mer feature extraction technique. Four subdatasets of the primary data set are created: DNC, TNC, tetra-NC, and penta-NC. The results highlighted that m 5 C-TNKmers achieved 96.15% accuracy. The suggested technique is a talented one that will help scientists correctly identify RNA m 5 C sites and their modification. It provides a clue to better understanding genetic function and controlling roles.
