RNA Structure Prediction Using Positive and Negative Evolutionary Information [Rivas Lab]
Many functional RNAs adopt structures specific to their function that have been conserved throughout evolution. Knowing the structure of a conserved RNA is an important step towards elucidating…
NEW STRUCTURAL RNAS? NOW WE CAN TELL [RIVAS AND EDDY LABS]
Some fundamental cellular activities are directed by RNA-based machines. The RNAs in these machines adopt distinct three-dimensional structures in order to facilitate their function, much in the way…
MCB WELCOMES SEAN EDDY AND ELENA RIVAS
Sean Eddy and Elena Rivas are computational biologists at the top of their field. Hailing from the HHMI funded Janelia Research Campus just outside of Washington D.C., the…
