Ribosoft 2.0 is the second version of a web service to design different types of trans-acting conventional and allosteric ribozymes. The web service is publicly available at https://ribosoft2.fungalgenomics.ca/. Ribosoft 2.0 uses template secondary structures that can be submitted by users to design ribozymes in accordance with parameters provided by the user. The generated designs specifically target a transcript (or, generally, an RNA sequence) given by the user. Herein, sixty ribozymes of different types were tested on two different mRNAs, with a majority shown to be active. We have also generated and proved the activity of the first trans-acting aptazyme designed in silico.

Matching journals

The top 3 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.
