| Beschreibung: | MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in gene regulation by interacting with messenger RNA (mRNA) sites. To detect these binding sites on the mRNA, biochemical methods such as Photactivatable-Ribonucleoside-Enhanced Crosslinking and Immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP) can be conducted. The PAR-CLIP method introduces T-to-C substitutions at sequenced cDNA that help to distinguish between binding site positions in the PAR-CLIP data and noise. T-to-C substitutions could, however, also occur due to other reasons, such as SNPs or mismatches. Most of the few existing statistical procedures for detecting binding sites in PAR-CLIP data do not account for types of substitutions other than PAR-CLIP induced substitutions. None of the existing methods enable the inclusion of additional information that are relevant for the biology of miRNA binding sites, such as the type of mRNA region that can help to detect binding sites. Moreover, the focus of existing models lies in detecting binding sites from only one experiment.
To detect binding sites, BayMAP, a Bayesian hierarchical mixture model taking other sources of substitutions into account, will be presented in this thesis. This allows the incorporation of additional information as well as a structure for reflecting dependencies of substitution positions very close to each other. The incorporation of additional information and neighborhood dependencies allows a better detection of miRNA-binding sites. Additionally, it also offers a better understanding of the biology of binding sites. Moreover, a method to combine the results of several PAR-CLIP experiments is developed to state the prediction of binding sites more precisely. Finally, BayMAP is compared to existing models in applications to real PAR-CLIP data sets as well as simulated data sets. | |||||||
