By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning DailyNews Daily News - According to news reporting based on a preprint abstract, our journalists obtained thefollowing quote sourced from bi orxiv.org:“Benchmarking drives innovation by providing a standardised framework that chall enges existing methodsand encourages the development of more advanced and effec tive solutions. Having well-curatedbenchmarking datasets has allowed machine le arning experts to enter and revolutionise various fields ofbioinformatics, such as protein structure prediction. Here, we present a set of benchmarking dataset s forthe yet unsolved task of accurate microRNA (miRNA) binding site prediction . miRNAs are small, noncodingRNAs that regulate gene expression post-transcrip tionally. miRNAs are loaded onto Argonautefamily proteins (AGO) and serve as gu ides to target specific binding sites on messenger RNA throughpartial sequence complementarity, the exact rules of which remain to be fully understood. The pre ciseidentification of miRNA binding sites is crucial for the further understand ing of these master regulatorsof gene expression. Despite decades of attempts t o accurately predict miRNA binding sites, the field hasbeen unable to conclusiv ely determine the exact rules of miRNA binding. An important issue is the relative paucity of unbiased experimental datasets that could be used to train more ac curate machine learningmodels.
