With a $50 million initial investment from Flagship, Terrana will use RNA from benign plant viruses as a chassis to carry ...

In this paper, we use the biological domain knowledge incorporated into stochastic models for ab initio RNA secondary-structure prediction to improve the state of the art in joint compression of RNA ...

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...

Classical molecular dynamics simulations of a 14-mer UUCG RNA hairpin are performed to study its conformational dynamics and corresponding NMR relaxation parameters. The direct calculation of the ...

The RDC-satisfying ensemble samples many conformations adopted by the hairpin in crystal structures indicating that intrinsic plasticity may play important roles in conformational adaptation. The ...

Published in Pictured are heterocysts—specialized cells for nitrogen fixation in the photosynthetic cyanobacteria —expressing a green fluorescent protein under the control of the promoter for a master ...

Abstract Arenaviruses are important agents of zoonotic disease worldwide. The virions expose a tripartite envelope glycoprotein complex at their surface, formed by the glycoprotein subunits GP1, GP2 ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain's wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published ...
