A deep learning approach to identify gene targets of a therapeutic for human splicing disorders

Drugs that modify RNA splicing are promising treatments for many genetic diseases. Here the authors show that deep learning strategies can predict drug targets, strongly supporting the use of in silico approaches to expand the therapeutic potential of drugs that modulate RNA splicing.
