We present a Deep Learning approach to predict 3D folding structures of RNAs from their nucleic acid sequence. Our approach combines an autoregressive Deep Generative Model, Monte Carlo Tree Search, and a Score Model to find and rank the most likely folding structures for a given RNA sequence. We confirm the predictive power of our approach by setting new benchmarks for some longer sequences in a simulated blind test of the RNA Puzzles prediction challenge.

Matching journals

The top 4 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
