Abstract

RNA functions by interacting with its intended targets structurally. However, due to the dynamic nature of RNA molecules, RNA structures are difficult to determine experimentally or predict computationally. Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized many biomedical fields and has been progressively utilized to deduce RNA structures, target binding, and associated functionality. Integrating structural and target binding information could also help improve the robustness of AI-based RNA function prediction and RNA design. Given the rapid development of deep learning (DL) algorithms, AI will provide an unprecedented opportunity to elucidate the sequence-structure-function relation of RNAs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
