A Neural Model of RNA Splicing: Learning Motif Distances with Self-Attention and Toeplitz Max Pooling
Thomas P. Quinn, Dang Nguyen, Sunil Gupta, Svetha Venkatesh
This paper introduces a neural network model called TATA to learn distance-dependent motif interactions in RNA splicing using self-attention and Toeplitz max pooling, and applies it to identify cis-regulatory elements interacting with splice sites.
