An evolutionary Monte Carlo algorithm for predicting DNA hybridization

Abstract: Many DNA-based technologies, such as DNA computing, DNA nanoassembly and DNA biochips, rely on DNA hybridization reactions. Previous hybridization models have focused on macroscopic reactions between two DNA strands at the sequence level. Here, we propose a novel population-based Monte Carlo algorithm that simulates a microscopic model of reacting DNA molecules. The algorithm uses two essential thermodynamic quantities of DNA molecules: the binding energy of bound DNA strands and the entropy of unbound strands… Show more

“…When |x i and x j | hybridize to make a double strand, the process is considered to be a stochastic process of continuous hybridization and denature with transition probabilities p h and p d . These transition probabilities are governed by the hybridization energy and entropy changes, written as ∆E (kcal) and ∆S (kcal/K) respectively, as well as by the temperature T (K), and we can understand hybridization a Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) process with the transition probabilities [22],…”

“…For simplicity of the analysis, we use a previous work showing that the hybridization energy and entropy are simply well-described in terms of three different binding energies. These three binding energies are between A and T , or ∆E AT , between C and G, or ∆E CG , and the binding energy for other pairs, or ∆E Oth [22]. Table 1 shows the experimentally determined values for these binding energies.…”
