Abstract

In DNA computing, similar thermodynamic stability of the encoding DNA sequences is conduced to improve the reliability and precision of the computing process. The melting temperature is a suitable parameter used to evaluating the stability of DNA duplex. Traditional method to predict Tm in biological engineering may exist lager error for a few sequences. Thus it misfits the lager amount of DNA sequences in DNA computing. In this paper, we introduced artificial neural network to predict the Tm based on Next-Nearest-Neighbor model. Our result shows that the methods have a higher precision than TP methods based on nearest-neighbor model.
