```

### Pre-processed Training Dataset
- **File**: `RNASolo_31102023_processed.pt`
- **Description**: ML-ready dataset of RNA 3D structures from the Protein Data Bank
- **Source**: RNASolo database (October 31, 2023 cutoff)
- **Resolution**: ≀4.0 Γ…
- **Format**: PyTorch tensors with sequences, 3D coordinates, secondary structures, and metadata
- **Use case**: Training new gRNAde models or fine-tuning for specific RNA families

### Raw PDB Structures
- **File**: `RNASolo_31102023_raw.tar.gz`
- **Description**: Raw PDB files for all RNA structures from RNASolo
- **Contents**: Thousands of experimentally determined RNA structures
- **Use case**: Custom data processing pipelines or structure visualization

### Eterna OpenKnot Competition Data
- **Directory**: `projects/openknot_benchmark/`
- **Description**: Designs and experimental validation data from the Eterna OpenKnot Benchmark
- **Contents**: Chemical probing data, OpenKnot scores, and designed sequences
- **Targets**: 40 pseudoknotted RNA puzzles including riboswitches, ribozymes, and viral elements

### RNA Polymerase Ribozyme Data
- **Directory**: `projects/rna_polymerase_ribozyme/`
- **Description**: Functional design campaign data for engineering RNA polymerase ribozymes
- **Contents**: Generated sequences, activity assays, fitness landscapes

## πŸš€ Quick Start

After setting up the [gRNAde codebase](https://github.com/chaitjo/geometric-rna-design), datasets can be downloaded manually or using HuggingFace CLI (recommended):

```bash
# Ensure you are in the base directory
cd ~/geometric-rna-design

# Install HuggingFace CLI (https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/main/en/guides/cli)
pip install -U "huggingface_hub[cli]"
# alternate: curl -LsSf https://hf.co/cli/install.sh | bash
# alternate: brew install huggingface-cli

# Download all datasets to data/ directory
huggingface-cli download chaitjo/gRNAde_datasets --local-dir data/ --repo-type dataset
```

Alternately, download specific files:

```bash
# Download only the pre-processed training dataset
huggingface-cli download chaitjo/gRNAde_datasets RNASolo_31102023_processed.pt --local-dir data/ --repo-type dataset

# Download only raw PDB structures
huggingface-cli download chaitjo/gRNAde_datasets RNASolo_31102023_raw.tar.gz --local-dir data/ --repo-type dataset
```
