RNA-TorsionBERT

Model Description

RNA-TorsionBERT is a 86.9 MB parameter BERT-based language model that predicts RNA torsional and pseudo-torsional angles from the sequence.

RNA-TorsionBERT is a DNABERT model that was pre-trained on ~4200 RNA structures.

It provides improvement of MCQ over the previous state-of-the-art models like SPOT-RNA-1D or inferred angles from existing methods, on the Test Set (composed of RNA-Puzzles and CASP-RNA).

Key Features

• Torsional and Pseudo-torsional angles prediction
• Predict sequences up to 512 nucleotides

Usage

Get started generating text with RNA-TorsionBERT by using the following code snippet:

from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("sayby/rna_torsionbert", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("sayby/rna_torsionbert", trust_remote_code=True)

sequence = "ACG CGG GGT GTT"
params_tokenizer = {
    "return_tensors": "pt",
    "padding": "max_length",
    "max_length": 512,
    "truncation": True,
}
inputs = tokenizer(sequence, **params_tokenizer)
output = model(inputs)["logits"]

• Please note that it was fine-tuned from a DNABERT-3 model and therefore the tokenizer is the same as the one used for DNABERT. Nucleotide U should therefore be replaced by T in the input sequence.
• The output is the sinus and the cosine for each angle. The angles are in the following order: alpha, beta,gamma,delta,epsilon,zeta,chi,eta,theta,eta',theta',v0,v1,v2,v3,v4.

To convert the predictions into angles, you can use the following code snippet:

import transformers
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from typing import Optional, Dict
import os

os.environ["TOKENIZERS_PARALLELISM"] = "false"

transformers.logging.set_verbosity_error()
