Abstract Motivation Secondary structure prediction accuracy (SSPA) in the QuanTest benchmark can be used to measure accuracy of a multiple sequence alignment. SSPA correlates well with the sum-of-pairs score, if the results are averaged over many alignments but not on an alignment-by-alignment basis. This is due to a sub-optimal selection of reference and non-reference sequences in QuanTest. Results We develop an improved strategy for selecting reference and non-reference sequences for a new benchmark, QuanTest2. In QuanTest2, SSPA and SP correlate better on an alignment-by-alignment basis than in QuanTest. Guide-trees for QuanTest2 are more balanced with respect to reference sequences than in QuanTest. QuanTest2 scores correlate well with other well-established benchmarks. Availability and implementation QuanTest2 is available at http://bioinf.ucd.ie/quantest2.tar, comprises of reference and non-reference sequence sets and a scoring script.

Abstract Motivation Recent years have witnessed that the inter-residue contact/distance in proteins could be accurately predicted by deep neural networks, which significantly improve the accuracy of predicted protein structure models. In contrast, fewer studies have been done for the prediction of RNA inter-nucleotide 3D closeness. Results We proposed a new algorithm named RNAcontact for the prediction of RNA inter-nucleotide 3D closeness. RNAcontact was built based on the deep residual neural networks. The covariance information from multiple sequence alignments and the predicted secondary structure were used as the input features of the networks. Experiments show that RNAcontact achieves the respective precisions of 0.8 and 0.6 for the top L/10 and L (where L is the length of an RNA) predictions on an independent test set, significantly higher than other evolutionary coupling methods. Analysis shows that about 1/3 of the correctly predicted 3D closenesses are not base pairings of secondary structure, which are critical to the determination of RNA structure. In addition, we demonstrated that the predicted 3D closeness could be used as distance restraints to guide RNA structure folding by the 3dRNA package. More accurate models could be built by using the predicted 3D closeness than the models without using 3D closeness. Availability and implementation The webserver and a standalone package are available at: http://yanglab.nankai.edu.cn/RNAcontact/.
