Training Deep Learning AI to Predict microRNA-Gene Interactions

Non-coding microRNAs (miRNAs) have important regulatory functions but are also implicated in various diseases. Mr Seung-won Yoon, PhD candidate at Chungnam National University, Republic of Korea, is training deep learning AI models to predict miRNA-gene associations. His research has implications for understanding disease pathogenesis, particularly cancer, and repurposing drugs for untreatable diseases.
