Generative Modeling of RNA Sequence Families with Restricted Boltzmann Machines.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
In this chapter, we discuss the potential application of Restricted Boltzmann machines (RBM) to model sequence families of structured RNA molecules. RBMs are a simple two-layer machine learning model able to capture intricate sequence dependencies in...

gRNAde: A Geometric Deep Learning Pipeline for 3D RNA Inverse Design.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Fundamental to the diverse biological functions of RNA are its 3D structure and conformational flexibility, which enable single sequences to adopt a variety of distinct 3D states. Currently, computational RNA design tasks are often posed as inverse p...

Machine Learning for RNA Design: LEARNA.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Machine learning algorithms, and in particular deep learning approaches, have recently garnered attention in the field of molecular biology due to remarkable results. In this chapter, we describe machine learning approaches specifically developed for...

Grand canonical Monte Carlo and deep learning assisted enhanced sampling to characterize the distribution of Mg2+ and influence of the Drude polarizable force field on the stability of folded states of the twister ribozyme.

The Journal of chemical physics
Molecular dynamics simulations are crucial for understanding the structural and dynamical behavior of biomolecular systems, including the impact of their environment. However, there is a gap between the time scale of these simulations and that of rea...

Predicting bacterial transcription factor binding sites through machine learning and structural characterization based on DNA duplex stability.

Briefings in bioinformatics
Transcriptional factors (TFs) in bacteria play a crucial role in gene regulation by binding to specific DNA sequences, thereby assisting in the activation or repression of genes. Despite their central role, deciphering shape recognition of bacterial ...

NucleoFind: a deep-learning network for interpreting nucleic acid electron density.

Nucleic acids research
Nucleic acid electron density interpretation after phasing by molecular replacement or other methods remains a difficult problem for computer programs to deal with. Programs tend to rely on time-consuming and computationally exhaustive searches to re...

Advancing mRNA subcellular localization prediction with graph neural network and RNA structure.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: The asymmetrical distribution of expressed mRNAs tightly controls the precise synthesis of proteins within human cells. This non-uniform distribution, a cornerstone of developmental biology, plays a pivotal role in numerous cellular proce...

Comparative analysis of RNA 3D structure prediction methods: towards enhanced modeling of RNA-ligand interactions.

Nucleic acids research
Accurate RNA structure models are crucial for designing small molecule ligands that modulate their functions. This study assesses six standalone RNA 3D structure prediction methods-DeepFoldRNA, RhoFold, BRiQ, FARFAR2, SimRNA and Vfold2, excluding web...

sincFold: end-to-end learning of short- and long-range interactions in RNA secondary structure.

Briefings in bioinformatics
MOTIVATION: Coding and noncoding RNA molecules participate in many important biological processes. Noncoding RNAs fold into well-defined secondary structures to exert their functions. However, the computational prediction of the secondary structure f...

UFold: fast and accurate RNA secondary structure prediction with deep learning.

Nucleic acids research
For many RNA molecules, the secondary structure is essential for the correct function of the RNA. Predicting RNA secondary structure from nucleotide sequences is a long-standing problem in genomics, but the prediction performance has reached a platea...
