| Abstract | In contrast to the well characterized mitotic machinery in eukaryotes it seems as if there is no universal mechanism organizing chromosome segregation in all bacteria. Apparently, some bacteria even use combinations of different segregation mechanisms such as protein machines or rely on physical forces. The identification of the relevant mechanisms is a difficult task. Here, we introduce a new machine learning approach to this problem. It is based on the analysis of trajectories of individual loci in the course of chromosomal segregation obtained by fluorescence microscopy. While machine learning approaches have already been applied successfully to trajectory classification in other areas, so far it has not been possible to use them to discriminate segregation mechanisms in bacteria. A main obstacle for this is the large number of trajectories required to train machine learning algorithms that we overcome here by using trajectories obtained from molecular dynamics simulations. We used these trajectories to train four different machine learning algorithms, two linear models and two tree-based classifiers, to discriminate segregation mechanisms and possible combinations of them. The classification was performed once using the complete trajectories as high-dimensional input vectors as well as on a set of features which were used to transform the trajectories into low-dimensional input vectors for the classifiers. Finally, we tested our classifiers on shorter trajectories with duration times comparable (or even shorter) than typical experimental trajectories and on trajectories measured with varying temporal resolutions. Our results demonstrate that machine learning algorithms are indeed capable of discriminating different segregation mechanisms in bacteria and to even resolve combinations of the mechanisms on rather short time scales. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
