Researchers develop ProMORNA for de novo mRNA design from protein sequences

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed ProMORNA, a novel framework for designing therapeutic messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences. This system uses a BART-style encoder-decoder model trained on millions of protein-mRNA pairs and employs multi-objective reinforcement learning to optimize for stability, translation efficiency, and immune safety simultaneously. ProMORNA demonstrated improved performance in silico for predicting half-life and translation efficiency on an unseen target, outperforming existing supervised methods. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new ML-driven approach for designing complex biological molecules, potentially accelerating therapeutic development.

    Protein-Conditioned Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning for Full-Length mRNA Design

    arXiv:2605.01513v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Designing therapeutic messenger RNA (mRNA) requires creating full-length transcripts that carefully balance stability, translation efficiency, and immune safety. To address this challenge, we propose ProMORNA, a multi-objective gene…
