Classification of Noncoding RNA Elements Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
The paper proposes to employ deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to classify noncoding RNA (ncRNA) sequences. To this end, we first propose an efficient approach to convert the RNA sequences into images characterizing their base-pairing probability. As a result, classifying RNA sequences is converted to an image classification problem that can be efficiently solved by available CNN-based classification models. The paper also considers the folding potential of the ncRNAs in addition to their primary sequence. Based on the proposed approach, a benchmark image classification dataset is generated from the RFAM database of ncRNA sequences. In addition, three classical CNN models have been implemented and compared to demonstrate the superior performance and efficiency of the proposed approach. Extensive experimental results show the great potential of using deep learning approaches for RNA classification.

General ClassificationA Comparative Review of RNA Language Models
Given usefulness of protein language models (LMs) in structure and functional inference, RNA LMs have received increased attentions in the last few years. However, these RNA models are often not compared against the same…
The Dark Regulome: Disentangling Predictability from Regulation in Genomic Foundation Models
High-grade gliomas integrate into neural circuits through functional synapses with neurons, raising the question of which noncoding elements shape synaptogenic gene expression in tumor cells. The regulatory program writt…
Noncoding RNAs and deep learning neural network discriminate multi-cancer types
Detecting cancers at early stages can dramatically reduce mortality rates. Therefore, practical cancer screening at the population level is needed. Here, we develop a comprehensive detection system to classify all common…
Noncoding RNAs evolutionarily extend animal lifespan
The mechanisms underlying lifespan evolution in organisms have long been mysterious. However, recent studies have demonstrated that organisms evolutionarily gain noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) that carry endogenous profound fun…
