Subtle differences in an mRNA sequence enables a ribosome to produce more or less of a certain protein. A new AI model called RiboNN predicts which sequences will be most efficiently produced and ...

The COVID-19 pandemic thrust messenger RNA (mRNA) into the spotlight, underscoring its promise as a nimble, programmable platform for delivering genetic instructions directly to cells. The success of ...

How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

UT Austin and Sanofi partner to build tool that predicts translation efficiency of mRNA sequences. A new artificial intelligence model can improve the process of drug and vaccine discovery by ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...

So-called mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives during the COVID-19 pandemic — and now scientists are using that Nobel Prize-winning technology to try to develop vaccines and treatments against a long ...
