     </xref> from RNA sequences and existing interactions. In miRNA target prediction, deep learning models combined with microfluidic technologies enable accurate and efficient detection of miRNA biomarkers, thus providing a powerful tool for early diagnosis and prognostic analysis of cancer. This method not only improves the prediction accuracy, but also greatly improves the prediction speed of <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.136134-45">
      [45]
     </xref>. In terms of lncRNA functional annotation, the deep learning model was successfully applied to identify lncRNA that might be misannotated. Through deep learning coding and training models for RNA sequences to distinguish coding and non-coding transcripts, researchers revealed some lncRNA <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.136134-1">
      [1]
     </xref> that may be misannotated as non-coding but actually have coding potential. This computational approach, which relies on nucleotide sequence, helps to reveal hidden proteomes and provides high-quality datasets for building coding potential predictors. These results not only demonstrate the strength of deep learning in the prediction of noncoding RNA function, but also provide innovative tools and methods for future genomics research.</p>

   <title>3. Challenges and Limitations</title>
   <p>In the fusion of artificial intelligence technology in genomics and bioinformatics practice, we encountered a series of challenges: how to ensure the high quality and accessibility of data, how to meet the huge data analysis for computing resources, how to improve the AI model interpretability, how to effectively integrate multiple omics data, how to enhance the model of generalization ability of new data, how to deal with genetic diversity, how to obey ethical and legal boundaries in research, and how to promote the collaboration between different disciplines. Overcoming these challenges requires not only continuous technological innovation, improvements in data sharing policies, but also the development of new algorithms, and enhanced inter-disciplinary collaboration. Solving AI ethical issues is of paramount importance, which requires a multifaceted strategy including the development and refinement of artificial intelligence ethical guidelines and regulations, establishing accountability mechanisms, strengthening ethical oversight of research and development activities, enhancing the transparency and explainability of algorithms, building effective ethical review and supervision systems, and ensuring the responsible and sustainable development of AI technology.</p>
