Our lab seeks an agile and predictive understanding of how RNAs structurally code for information processing and replication in living systems.
- Pseudoknots, AI, and preview of Eterna's first RNA replicase results at EternaCon 12, virtual on Sunday July 26, 2026! Preregister for free at: eternagame.org/eternacon/2026
- Can humans+AI get 1M #cryoEM-able #RNA structures? Phase 1: humans design 1000 pseudoknot structures @eternagame by Jul 19. Phase 2: AIs design 1000 sequences for each by Jul 31. Come join! Latest phase of the OpenKnot challenge eternagame.org/challenges/118…Eterna's newest puzzle challenges players to design 240-base RNA strands that will fold into compact pseudoknots. The puzzle provides a metric for counting the number of pairs that cross to form large, synthetic pseudoknots. Check out the puzzle at eternagame.org/labs/14333719
- Our lab is very honored to be recognized with Stanford's Open Science Champion Prize datascience.stanford.edu/cores/awards for efforts including @eternagame. Thanks for supporting an extraordinary community @StanfordData @StanfordHAI!
