TANGO: RNA Topology and Geometry Co-Design
arXiv cs.MA0 views
arXiv:2610.20277v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Designing RNA sequences that satisfy target tertiary-structure objectives is an important problem in RNA engineering, with broad applications in synthetic biology and therapeutics. Existing 3D RNA design methods have made substantial progress, but they largely treat the target fold as a geometry-only objective. This is incomplete for RNA, whose functional folds are specified not only by tertiary geometry but also by secondary base-pairing topology. We therefore formulate RNA inverse design as a topology-and-geometry co-design problem and propose TANGO, a multi-objective multi-agent reinforcement learning framework for this task. TANGO adopts a staged curriculum: it first learns a topology-aware policy from secondary-structure targets, then transfers this policy to tertiary-structure targets to train a general co-design model, and finally applies frontier-guided fine-tuning to refine target-specific trade-offs among secondary-structure fidelity, tertiary-structure fidelity, and sequence diversity. Experiments show that TANGO generates diverse and novel designs, improving tertiary- and secondary-structure performance by 18.3% and 52.7%, respectively, over the strongest baseline.
