miRNA Description

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules crucial for gene regulation and implicated in various diseases. Current research focuses on improving the prediction of miRNA structure and function using advanced machine learning techniques, including graph neural networks, transformers, and variational autoencoders, often leveraging large pre-trained models and incorporating both sequence and structural information. These advancements aim to enhance our understanding of miRNA biogenesis, function, and their roles in disease, ultimately facilitating the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. The development of user-friendly tools for analyzing RNA sequencing data is also a significant area of progress.
