Happy to be featured in this Technology Feature by Michael Eisenstein in Nature Methods about the present and future of #RNA structure analysis, along with @ywan_wan, @RouskinLab, @JosephYesselman and many other colleagues working in this amazing field! nature.com/articles/s4159…
Zwei schwere #Borna #Virus 🦠-Fälle in #Bayern Der @donaukurier berichtet sehr sachlich & ohne Panikmache! Das Bernhard-Nocht-Institut ist das Konsiliarlabor für Bornaviren und steht für alle Fragen zur Verfügung. @hh_bwfgb @unihh donaukurier.de/lokales/landkr…
Please retweet 🙏: 2 @ERC_Research-funded Post-doc positions are available in our lab to investigate #RNA structural ensemble and their dynamics in living cells. Application link: rug.nl/about-ug/work-…
#ViennaRNA v2.7.0 is out 🎉 with G-quadruplex support for circular RNAs, new methods for integrating #RNA structure probing data & energy parameters for modified bases like m5C and N1-methyl-pseudouridine. Plus many API improvements and bug fixes tbi.univie.ac.at/RNA/ #Vienna
Thrilled to have our outstanding PhD students, Leonhard Sidl and Jule Walter present our latest findings on artificial xrRNAs and synthetic xrRNA riboswitches at the German Conference on Synthetic Biology. #GCSB #computationalbiology #biochemistry #RNA #ViennaRNA
Very excited to share our latest preprint, led by rockstar post-doc @i_borovska. Our humble attempt to begin exploring #RNA secondary structure ensembles in a living cell (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) (1/n)

On the way to #Barcelona to attend the 2024 #Benasque #RNA meeting for the next two weeks 🧬🌐
Excited to share our latest paper /w @RhysHParry on Xinyang flavivirus (XiFV) discovery in ticks from #China! Our research unveils unique structural #RNAs in the 3' UTR, shedding light on viral replication and translation mechanisms. doi.org/10.1099/jgv.0.… #Virology 🦟🔬
Alphafold3 is out...excited to see how well it predicts #RNA-#protein complexes #computationalbiology #AI
Thrilled to announce AlphaFold 3 which can predict the structures and interactions of nearly all of life’s molecules with state-of-the-art accuracy including proteins, DNA and RNA. Biology is a complex dynamical system so modeling interactions is crucial blog.google/technology/ai/…
Next THURSDAY, we have one of the leaders in #vector immunity to #arboviruses, with Ronald van Rij from @radboudumc giving a seminar. All welcome! Please help with a RT. Learn more about their research here vanrijlab.org
