Probabilistic RNA Designability via Interpretable Ensemble Approximation and Dynamic Decomposition

Tianshuo Zhou, David H. Mathews, Liang Huang

Motivation: RNA design aims to find RNA sequences that fold into a given target secondary structure, a problem also known as RNA inverse folding. However, not all target structures…

Sampling-based Continuous Optimization for Messenger RNA Design

Feipeng Yue, Ning Dai, Wei Yu Tang +3

Designing messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences for a fixed target protein requires searching an exponentially large synonymous space while optimizing properties that affect stability and…

Scalable and Interpretable Identification of Minimal Undesignable RNA Structure Motifs with Rotational Invariance

Tianshuo Zhou, Wei Yu Tang, Apoorv Malik +2

RNA design aims to find a sequence that folds with highest probability into a designated target structure. However, certain structures are undesignable, meaning no sequence can fol…

Sampling-based Continuous Optimization with Coupled Variables for RNA Design

Wei Yu Tang, Ning Dai, Tianshuo Zhou +2

The task of RNA design given a target structure aims to find a sequence that can fold into that structure. It is a computationally hard problem where some version(s) have been prov…
