Our collaboration with @R_Amit_Lab is finally out: nature.com/articles/s41467-0… We applied convolutional neural networks to predict RNA binding of three phage coat proteins. Using our networks we were able to learn RNA-binding structural preferences, and design new RNA binding sites

#RNA Framework 2.7.0 is out! After quite some work, this version finally introduces the first release of a new tool, rf-mutate. This module allows designing disrupting/compensatory mutations aimed at misfolding/rescuing a target structure motif. (1/n)

So pleased to see the collaborative work with our colleagues in Glasgow and Leicester come out in Genome Biology. Increased structure just upstream of the CDS is the major limiting factor in translation, which is overcome by eIF4A activity. genomebiology.biomedcentral.…

Success in grad school requires: -creativity to imagine things that don’t yet exist -curiosity to never stop asking questions -initiative to seek out information in unexpected places Yet, the 17 years of school that precede grad school almost select for the opposite of this.

Check out our recent paper in Cell @CellCellPress: we developed a single-molecule co-localization co-transcriptional assembly method to study how proteins interact with 16S ribosomal RNA during transcription! Download the full article for free here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1a8FU…
Today’s @US_FDA approval of GIVLAARI is a defining moment for @Alnylam as we become a multi-product commercial company, for the field of #RNAi with the 1st ever approved GalNAc-conjugate RNAi tx & most importantly, for #raredisease patients awaiting a new treatment option.
We are thrilled to share the news that we have received @US_FDA approval for GIVLAARI (givosiran), the second #RNAi therapeutic from Alnylam approved by the FDA in less than 2 years. #raredisease #biotech
