When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA). This process takes place in the nucleus and occurs in a series of stages. The two ...

No large RNA structure database exists that correlates sequence with 3D topology. Successful protein-centric methods like AlphaFold remain unavailable for RNA, creating a critical gap in ...

Both the sequence of bases and the three-dimensional structure of RNA are determining factors in the great versatility of functions that characterize the molecule. The team used the mechanical ...
