RNA plays a vital role in how our genes are expressed and how diseases develop. Yet, because RNA molecules constantly change shape, understanding how they work has long been a major scientific ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Methods, a group of researchers developed a novel method called Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) High-Order Folding Prediction Plus (RhoFold+). This deep ...

Researchers at Northeastern University in Boston have created a hybrid model to better understand how RNA’s structure and functional dynamics control biological systems. This modeling strategy ...

A pioneering Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered model able to understand the sequences and structure patterns that make up the genetic "language" of plants, has been launched by a research ...

This study presents a valuable tool named TSvelo, a computational framework for RNA velocity inference that models transcriptional regulation and gene-specific splicing. The evidence supporting the ...

Just as AlphaFold2's solution to the protein folding problem heralded a new era in biology and contributed to a Nobel Prize, the accurate prediction of RNA structure is widely considered the next ...

In 1965, Cornell biochemist Robert Holley deciphered the 77 nucleotide sequence of transfer RNA. Three years later, Holley was awarded the Nobel Prize for this work, but already the race to determine ...

Researchers have used cryo-EM and computational tools to visualize ribozyme assembly, shedding light on life's most versatile ...

Children who develop deep wrinkles, stunted growth, and rapidly aging bones and blood vessels as early as 1 to 2 years of age may be suffering from Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS), a rare ...
