AI deciphers long-range DNA signals behind RNA splicing
Accurate RNA splicing is essential for gene expression and human health, yet predicting how DNA sequence variations affect splicing remains a major challenge.
AI Summary
Researchers highlight that accurate RNA splicing is vital for gene expression and human health, yet predicting how DNA sequence variations influence splicing remains difficult. Recent AI models have improved splice‑site prediction, but many fail to capture regulatory signals located thousands of bases away from the sites they affect. This shortfall limits understanding of disease‑causing mutations and the complex mechanisms governing RNA processing, especially in disorders ranging from genetic diseases to cancer.
