Overview of the proposed methodology for predicting 4mCs in multiple species, which involves the following steps: (i) benchmark dataset construction for six different species; (ii) extraction of seven feature encodings that characterize different aspects of DNA sequences and generation of 14 feature descriptors; (iii) generation of a 56-dimensional feature vector using a feature representation learning scheme; and (iv) construction of the final prediction model for each species that separates the input into putative 4mCs and non-4mCs.
