So excited to see this out in @natgenet.nature.com! An amazing collaboration with @gagneurlab.bsky.social, I am happy I was (a small) part of. Nucleotide dependencies can capture regulatory elements, including #RNA structures! Congrats to the whole team! Check it out: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Nucleotide dependency analysis of genomic language models detects functional elements - Nature Genetics
Mapping pairwise nucleotide dependencies by leveraging genomic language models highlights functional genomic elements and predicts deleterious genetic variants more effectively than alignment-based conservation metrics.

RNA is far more than a messenger.

Its structures regulate, evolve, and catalyze — carrying out functions DNA alone cannot.

But predicting #RNA structure from sequence is still extremely difficult.

In our recently published paper in @narjournal.bsky.social we present a way forward.
