Enhancers are a class of noncoding DNA elements located near structural genes. In recent years, their identification and classification have been the focus of research in the field of bioinformatics. However, due to their high free scattering and position variability, although the performance of the prediction model has been continuously improved, there is still a lot of room for progress. In this paper, density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) was used to screen the physicochemical properties of dinucleotides to extract dinucleotide-based auto-cross covariance (DACC) features; then, the features are reduced by feature selection Python toolkit MRMD 2.0. The reduced features are input into the random forest to identify enhancers. The enhancer classification model was built by word2vec and attention-based Bi-LSTM. Finally, the accuracies of our enhancer identification and classification models were 77.25% and 73.50%, respectively, and the Matthews' correlation coefficients (MCCs) were 0.5470 and 0.4881, respectively, which were better than the performance of most predictors.
