Modeling DNA Sequences with PyTorch

A beginner-friendly tutorial

DNA is a complex data stream. While it can be represented by a string of ACTGs, it is filled with intricate patterns and structural nuances that are difficult for humans to understand just by looking at a raw sequence of nucleotides. In recent years, much progress has been made towards modeling DNA data using deep learning.

Researchers have applied methods such as convolutional neural networks (CNN), long-short term memory networks (LSTMs), and even transformers …
