Description

Article describes how, since the discovery of the second chromosome in the Rhodobacter spaeroides 2.4.1 in 1989 and the revelation of gene sequences, multipartite genomes have been reported in over three hundred bacterial species under nine different phyla. In this study, the authors have attempted to leverage machine learning as a means to identify the genetic factors that underlie the differentiation of bacteria with multipartite and unipartite genomes.

Notes

Abstract: Since the discovery of the second chromosome in the Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 by Suwanto and Kaplan in 1989 and the revelation of gene sequences, multipartite genomes have been reported in over three hundred bacterial species under nine different phyla. This phenomenon shattered the dogma of a unipartite genome (a single circular chromosome) in bacteria. Recently, Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL) have emerged as powerful tools in the investigation of big data in a plethora of disciplines to decipher complex patterns in these data, including the large-scale analysis and interpretation of genomic data. An important inquiry in bacteriology pertains to the genetic factors that underlie the structural evolution of multipartite and unipartite bacterial species. Towards this goal, here we have attempted to leverage machine learning as a means to identify the genetic factors that underlie the differentiation of, in general, bacteria with multipartite genomes and bacteria with unipartite genomes. In this study, deploying ML algorithms yielded two gene lists of interest: one that contains 46 discriminatory genes obtained following an assessment on all gene sets, and another that contains 35 discriminatory genes obtained based on an investigation of genes that are differentially present (or absent) in the genomes of the multipartite bacteria and their respective close relatives. Our study revealed a small pool of genes that discriminate bacteria with multipartite genomes and their close relatives with single-chromosome genomes. Machine learning thus aided in uncovering the genetic factors that underlie the differentiation of bacterial multipartite and unipartite traits.
