Meiotic recombination presents an uneven distribution across the genome. Genomic regions that exhibit at relatively high frequencies of recombination are called hotspots, whereas those with relatively low frequencies of recombination are called coldspots. Therefore, hotspots and coldspots would provide useful information for the study of the mechanism of recombination. In this study, we proposed a computational predictor called iRSpot-DACC to predict hot/cold spots across the yeast genome. It combined Support Vector Machines (SVMs) and a feature called dinucleotide-based auto-cross covariance (DACC), which is able to incorporate the global sequence-order information and fifteen local DNA properties into the predictor. Combined with Principal Component Analysis (PCA), its performance was further improved. Experimental results on a benchmark dataset showed that iRSpot-DACC can achieve an accuracy of 82.7%, outperforming some highly related methods.
