Therefore, accurate identification of m7G modifications will facilitate revealing and in-depth understanding their potential functional mechanisms. Although high-throughput experimental methods are capable of precisely locating m7G sites, they are still cost ineffective. Therefore, it\u2019s necessary to develop new methods to identify m7G sites.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this work, by using the iterative feature representation algorithm, we developed a machine learning based method, namely m7G-IFL, to identify m7G sites. To demonstrate its superiority, m7G-IFL was evaluated and compared with existing predictors. The results demonstrate that our predictor outperforms existing predictors in terms of accuracy for identifying m7G sites. By analyzing and comparing the features used in the predictors, we found that the positive and negative samples in our feature space were more separated than in existing feature space. This result demonstrates that our features extracted more discriminative information via the iterative feature learning process, and thus contributed to the predictive performance improvement.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bib\/bbaa278","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,23]],"date-time":"2020-09-23T11:33:27Z","timestamp":1600860807000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["Iterative
