Overview

Course project for Evolutionary Algorithm and Machine Learning course focusing on RNA folding prediction.

Problem Statement

Given a set of random RNA sequences, predict how each sequence will fold and determine which nucleotides can pair with each other in 3D space.

Approach

  • Developed custom ML model for sequence analysis
  • Trained on known RNA folding patterns
  • Predicted base pair probabilities
  • Validated against known structures
