On the citizen science platform Eterna, #AI methods matched expert human players at inventing sequences that fold into an RNA pseudoknot, a structure in which loops pair with distant parts of the same molecule. Learn more this week in Science: https://scim.ag/4wOqvuE

How do researchers design an RNA in 3D when no accurate 3D prediction model exists? Eterna's collaboration with the @rdaslab.bsky.social at Stanford was able to design novel pseudoknots using a blend of secondary structure prediction and GenAI design methods. 🧪 #RNAsky

Back to school is a chance to do more than learn science. It's a chance to take part in it. 🔬 This season, we invite students to contribute to real research, make discoveries, and see how their curiosity can make a difference. Read our newsletter to learn more: conta.cc/4w9yCln
