Enhanced RNA secondary structure prediction through integrative deep learning and structural context analysis.

ABSTRACT: Analyzing RNA secondary structures plays a crucial role in elucidating the functional mechanisms of RNA. Despite advances in RNA structure determination, these methods are low throughout and resource-intensive. While machine learning-based models have achieved remarkable performance in terms of prediction accuracy, challenges such as data scarcity and overfitting remain common. Here, we introduce a phased learning strategy that integrates RNA sequence and structural context information to mitigate the risk of overfitting and employs pairing constraints to train the model on folding scores. This approach effectively addresses both local and long-range nucleotide interactions, substantially improving the robustness of RNA secondary structure predictions. Our comprehensive analysis across mul
