• Abstract: RNAs self-interact through hydrogen-bond base-pairing between nucleotides and fold into specific, stable structures that substantially govern their biochemical behaviour. Experimental characterization of these structures remains difficult, hence the desire to predict them computationally from sequence information. However, correctly predicting even the base pairs involved in the folded structure of an RNA, known as secondary structure, from its sequence using minimum free energy models is understood to be NP-hard. Classical approaches rely on heuristics or avoid considering pseudoknots in order to render this problem more tractable, with the cost of inexactness or excluding an entire class of important RNA structures. Given their prospective and demonstrable advantages in certain domains, including combinatorial optimization, quantum computing approaches by contrast have the potential to compute the full RNA folding problem while remaining more feasible and exact. Herein, we present a physically-motivated QUBO model of the RNA folding problem amenable to both quantum annealers and circuit-model quantum computers and compare the performance of this formulation versus current RNA folding QUBOs after tuning the parameters of all against known RNA structures using an approach we call "variational hybrid quantum annealing".

  In this paper, we propose an end-to-end deep learning model, called E2Efold, for RNA secondary structure prediction. The key idea of E2Efold is to directly predict the RNA base-pairing matrix, and use an unrolled algorithm for constrained programming as the template for deep architectures to enforce constraints. With comprehensive experiments on benchmark datasets, we demonstrate the superior performance of E2Efold.
