RNA's 'Joints' Posses a Critical Role in Gene Expression:
Scientists have discovered a new wrinkle in our understanding of how our genes work. The team shed light on a longstanding puzzle involved in a common way our genes are modified that is known as RNA methylation.

Hi, I’m Jill and I collaborate with researchers to develop #RNA modeling puzzles for the science game Eterna.
Our current project asks players around the world to submit sequences up to 90 nt that may fold into a #pseudoknot. The structure will be verified by SHAPE testing at the Das Lab (Stanford). We hope to generate a large dataset containing thousands of pseudoknot and tertiary structures that researchers can use to train new #RNAmodeling algorithms.
