RNA foundation model

RNA-FM

This repository contains codes and pre-trained models for RNA foundation model (RNA-FM). RNA-FM outperforms all tested single-sequence RNA language models across a variety of structure prediction tasks as well as several function-related tasks. You can find more details about RNA-FM in our paper, "Interpretable RNA Foundation Model from Unannotated Data for Highly Accurate RNA Structure and Function Predictions" (Chen et al., 2022).

Create Environment with Conda

First, download the repository and create the environment.

git clone https://github.com/ml4bio/RNA-FM.git
cd ./RNA-FM
conda env create -f environment.yml

Then, activate the "RNA-FM" environment and enter into the workspace.

conda activate RNA-FM
cd ./redevelop

Access pre-trained models.

Download pre-trained models from this gdrive link and place the pth files into the pretrained folder.

Apply RNA-FM with Existing Scripts.

1. Embedding Extraction.

python launch/predict.py --config="pretrained/extract_embedding.yml" \
--data_path="./data/examples/example.fasta" --save_dir="./resuts" \
--save_frequency 1 --save_embeddings

RNA-FM embeddings with shape of (L,640) will be saved in the $save_dir/representations.

2. Downstream Prediction - RNA secondary structure.

python launch/predict.py --config="pretrained/ss_prediction.yml" \
--data_path="./data/examples/example.fasta" --save_dir="./resuts" \
--save_frequency 1

The predicted probability maps will be saved in form of .npy files, and the post-processed binary predictions will be saved in form of .ct files. You can find them in the $save_dir/r-ss.

3. Online Version - RNA-FM server.

If you have any trouble with the deployment of the local version of RNA-FM, you can access its online version from this link, RNA-FM server. You can easily submit jobs on the server and download results from it afterwards, without setting up environment and occupying any computational resources.

Quick Start for Further Development.

PyTorch is the prerequisite package which you must have installed to use this repository. You can install rna-fm in your own environment with the following pip command if you just want to use the pre-trained language model. you can either install rna-fm from PIPY:

pip install rna-fm

or install rna-fm from github:

cd ./RNA-FM
pip install .

After installation, you can load the RNA-FM and extract its embeddings with the following code:

import torch
import fm

# Load RNA-FM model
model, alphabet = fm.pretrained.rna_fm_t12()
batch_converter = alphabet.get_batch_converter()
model.eval()  # disables dropout for deterministic results

# Prepare data
data = [
    ("RNA1", "GGGUGCGAUCAUACCAGCACUAAUGCCCUCCUGGGAAGUCCUCGUGUUGCACCCCU"),
    ("RNA2", "GGGUGUCGCUCAGUUGGUAGAGUGCUUGCCUGGCAUGCAAGAAACCUUGGUUCAAUCCCCAGCACUGCA"),
    ("RNA3", "CGAUUCNCGUUCCC--CCGCCUCCA"),
]
batch_labels, batch_strs, batch_tokens = batch_converter(data)

# Extract embeddings (on CPU)
with torch.no_grad():
    results = model(batch_tokens, repr_layers=[12])
token_embeddings = results["representations"][12]

The model of this code builds on the esm sequence modeling framework. And we use fairseq sequence modeling framework to train our RNA language modeling. We very appreciate these two excellent works!
