As one of the most abundant RNA post-transcriptional modifications, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) involves in a broad spectrum of biological and physiological processes ranging from mRNA splicing and stability to cell differentiation and reprogramming. However, experimental identification of m6A sites is expensive and laborious. Therefore, it is urgent to develop computational methods for reliable prediction of m6A sites from primary RNA sequences. In the current study, a new method called RAM-ESVM was developed for detecting m6A sites from Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcriptome, which employed ensemble support vector machine classifiers and novel sequence features. The jackknife test results show that RAM-ESVM outperforms single support vector machine classifiers and other existing methods, indicating that it would be a useful computational tool for detecting m6A sites in S. cerevisiae. Furthermore, a web server named RAM-ESVM was constructed and could be freely accessible at http://server.malab.cn/RAM-ESVM/.
