CocoRNA: Collective RNA Design with Cooperative Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning

Designing RNA sequences that reliably fold into specific secondary structures is essential for understanding their biological functions but remains a challenging computational problem. We propose CocoRNA, a cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning framework for RNA inverse design. CocoRNA simplifies the design task by decomposing it into smaller sub-problems, each solved collaboratively by multiple agents. This approach reduces the complexity of the problem and improves the exploration of design policies. During training, a centralized critic uses global structural information to guide…
