Improvement of prediction of RNA's location in the cell by taking advantage of common neural network methods and architectures

Process of localization of RNAs at a specific site within the cell is one of the important aspects of the regulation of gene expression [1].The importance of correct intracellular RNA placement in the development of embryonic and neural dendrites has been clearly demonstrated in [2,3]. Improper localization of RNA in the cell—which has been shown to occur due to a variety of reasons, including mutations in trans-regulatory elements—is also associated with the occurrence of some neuromuscular diseases as well as cancer [4].Improvement of our understanding of the intracellular mechanisms of RNA localization can have applications in drug target discovery as well [5].
