Tools and Technology Seminar by Jim Clauwaert
“Discovering coding sequences using Transformer networks”
Abstract
The biological process of RNA translation is fundamental to cellular life and has wide-ranging implications for human disease. Accurate delineation of RNA translation variation represents a significant challenge due to the complexity of the process and technical limitations. We explore the use of a transformer-based networks to leverage the analysis of transcript sequences and ribosome profiling data. I will detail the implementation of this model and how it is currently used in ongoing studies to discover translation products.
About the DCMB Tools & Technology Seminar Series
The DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar Series is held in Palmer Commons, Room 2036, each Thursday at 12pm EST. Each seminar highlights a computational tool, technology, or methodology that is under development or in current use and is of special interest to DCMB and University researchers. Presenters are U-M researchers and students.
These seminars are live-streamed and recorded and made available for future viewing via the DCMB YouTube Channel
