We and @eternagame are joining the quest to find a molecule that can sustainably replicate itself. Pilot results on first 1000 designs are posted, next up will be million-design-scale expts. Come design at eternagame.org/labs/14660266 by Aug 31, 2026! #RNAworld
Our Replicase pilot results found that the catalytic activity and copyability of the 71-89 polymerase ribozyme can be improved! We have launched a new puzzle for finding a version that excels at both properties simultaneously. Comp methods are encouraged to submit designs!

Third (& last?) intense week of #RNA server-only targets on #CASP17: small molecule binding ribozymes and aptamers & more group II introns in multiple states. Strange mix of natural and non-natural RNA and compounds and proteins. Looking forward to less crazy pace in next weeks.

Latest #CASP17 #RNA targets are a tiny aptamer for tryptophan selected by Yarus lab @cuboulder, a miniTTR by RNAmake @JosephYesselman, and two singlet glycine riboswitches discovered by @ronbreaker Strobel. Note that first one β a 25-nt RNA by #cryoEM? predictioncenter.org/casp17/β¦

somebody said in this age of agentic AI its become easier to write papers.. I don't think it's true (for me). It's become harder... maybe I am doing it wrong. I am seriously worried about AI slop and halucinations.

Received two reviews on a paper I am a co-author on that was submitted the @NaturePortfolio Scientific Reports. Both reviews were written by ChatGPT & clearly not edited with hallucinations. Shame on the editors for letting this unethical AI slop out the door.

We are excited to share a new publication w/ @JosephYesselman in @NAR_Open. RNA secondary structure prediction and design typically minimize the global free energy. We show that *local* stability compensation is a powerful RNA design approach 1/4

.@ProfHendrix photographed this literal ray of spring equinox light shining through the skybridge connecting Cordley Hall and the Agriculture & Life Sciences Building. Itβs a phenomenon heβs dubbed βBeaverHengeβ because it only happens during the equinox. π¦«β¨
Happy spring!
