After a gene is transcribed into RNA, modifications can occur to the subunits or "bases" that make up the RNA molecule, which can affect its structure and function. The study of these changes is known ...

National Cancer Institute researchers have developed a method called HORNET for characterizing 3D topological structures of ...

Osaka, Japan – After a gene is transcribed into RNA, modifications can occur to the subunits or “bases” that make up the RNA molecule, which can affect its structure and function. The study of these ...

A new machine-learning approach assesses the accuracy of structural models of RNA molecules. From a training set of known RNA structures, the algorithm learns the characteristic features of RNA, such ...

Inosine is a nucleoside that occurs naturally in transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and is essential for proper RNA translation. It is commonly found at the wobble position of anticodons, allowing for greater ...

Sometimes, a few subtle clues are enough to permit the assembly of a complete, solid picture. Alas, such times are rare—so rare, in fact, that if a Sherlock Holmes comes along and manages the trick ...

Researchers present ARES (Atomic Rotationally Equivariant Scorer) – a machine learning method that significantly improves the computational prediction of RNA structures over previous approaches. Like ...

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for enteroviruses ...
