 This repository contains different python scripts to predict translation initiation efficiency from transcript sequences using TranslateLLM, an artificial neural network architecture as presented in "Predicting the translation output from the mRNA sequence - an assessment of the accuracy and parameter-efficiency of deep learning models".
 
 There are deep learning scripts for essentially three different usecases:
