Congratulations to Roger Wellington-Oguri, Eli Fisker, Mathew Zada, Michelle Wiley, Jill Townley, and Eterna Players for the first peer-reviewed scientific publication written entirely by videogame players. The paper “Evidence of an Unusual Poly(A) RNA Signature Detected by High-throughput Chemical Mapping” was just accepted in the journal Biochemistry. The paper is coming out back to back with a companion paper from our lab that validates the players’ discovery of an unusual polyadenosine signature in RNA structure mapping experiments. These same player authors are leading scientific discussions in Eterna’s OpenVaccine mRNA vaccine stabilization efforts
