The intricate network of RNA-RNA interactions, crucial for orchestrating essential cellular processes like transcriptional and translational regulation, has been unveiling through high-throughput techniques and computational predictions. With the emergence of deep learning methodologies, the question arises: how do these cutting-edge techniques for base-pairing prediction compare to traditional free-energy-based approaches, particularly when applied to the challenging domain of interaction prediction via chain concatenation? In this study, we employ base pairs derived from three-dimensional RNA complex structures as the gold standard benchmark to assess the performance of 23 different methods, including recently developed deep learning models. Our results demonstrate that the deep-learning-based methods, SPOT-RNA can be generalized to make accurate zero-shot predictions of RNA-RNA interactions not only between previously unseen RNA structures but also between RNAs without monomeric structures. The finding underscores the potential of deep learning as a robust tool for advancing our understanding of these complex molecular interactions.

"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.
