miRstring: An RNA language model enables mature miRNA decoding and artificial small RNA design across species

Introduction MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are processed from structured precursors and subsequently loaded into Argonaute proteins to repress target mRNAs. Accurate decoding of mature miRNAs from precursor sequences is fundamental to miRNA annotation and the rational engineering of artificial miRNAs. However, existing computatio...
