Improving the stability of RNA vaccines will be important for worldwide vaccine distribution.

Improving the stability of RNA vaccines will be important for worldwide vaccine distribution.

Improving the stability of RNA vaccines will be important for worldwide vaccine distribution. We present a biophysical model for predicting RNA degradation in a new preprint led by Hannah Wayment-Steele. Through a variety of mRNA design challenges launched through the OpenVaccine challenge on Eterna by Do Soon Kim, we predict that the stability of any RNA vaccine can be […]

We’ve resolved the SARS-CoV-2 frameshift stimulation element with our hybrid structure determination pipeline Ribosolve, and we report effects of antisense oligonucleotides on this RNA’s function and on virus replication in cell culture. Read more in our bioRxiv preprint. Many thanks to our colleagues in Glenn, Chiu, d’Souza, and Baric labs and SLAC for this fruitful collaboration, much of which occurred in the midst of.our university shutdowns.

Which RNA secondary structure package best predicts experimental data? Hannah Wayment-Steele used high-throughput structural data from Eterna to answer this question, and found a suprising result: lesser-known packages developed by statistical learning performed notably better than more widely-used packages.

Which RNA secondary structure package best predicts experimental data? Hannah Wayment-Steele used high-throughput structural data from Eterna to answer this question, and found a suprising result: lesser-known packages developed by statistical learning performed notably better than more widely-used packages. Motivated by these results, she developed a multi-task learning algorithm trained on Eterna data, named EternaFold, which showed the best predictions […]

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
