The ability to design RNA molecules with specific structures and functions could facilitate research and developments in biotechnology, biology and pharmacy. Here we present a flexible RNA design framework based on deep learning that locally optimizes sequences by gradient-guided search methods. We demonstrate its effectiveness by designing bi-stable RNA molecules by superimposing conformer target structures.

"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.
