ProkBERT-mini-c-phage Model

This finetuned model is specifically designed for promoter identification and is based on the ProkBERT-mini-c model.

For more details, refer to the phage dataset description used for training and evaluating this model.

Example Usage

For practical examples on how to use this model, see the following Jupyter notebooks:

  • Training Notebook: A guide to fine-tuning the ProkBERT-mini model for promoter identification tasks.
  • Evaluation Notebook: Demonstrates how to evaluate the finetuned ProkBERT-mini-promoter model on test datasets.

Model Application

The model was trained for binary classification to distinguish between pahge and non-phage (bacteria) sequences. The non-phage sequences were sampled form the phage's host genome randomly.

Simple Usage Example

The following example demonstrates how to use the ProkBERT-mini-promoter model for processing a DNA sequence:

from prokbert.prokbert_tokenizer import ProkBERTTokenizer
from transformers import MegatronBertForSequenceClassification
finetuned_model = "neuralbioinfo/prokbert-mini-c-phage"
kmer = 1
shift= 1

tok_params = {'kmer' : kmer,
             'shift' : shift}
tokenizer = ProkBERTTokenizer(tokenization_params=tok_params)
model = MegatronBertForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(finetuned_model)
sequence = 'CACCGCATGGAGATCGGCACCTACTTCGACAAGCTGGAGGCGCTGCTGAAGGAGTGGTACGAGGCGCGCGGGGGTGAGGCATGACGGACTGGCAAGAGGAGCAGCGTCAGCGC'
inputs = tokenizer(sequence, return_tensors="pt")
# Ensure that inputs have a batch dimension
inputs = {key: value.unsqueeze(0) for key, value in inputs.items()}
# Generate outputs from the model
outputs = model(**inputs)
print(outputs)

  • mcc: Matthews correlation coefficient, a quality measure for binary (two-class) classifications.
  • recall: The recall, or true positive rate, measures the proportion of actual positives that are correctly identified.
  • sensitivity: Sensitivity or true positive rate; identical to recall.
