A new artificial intelligence model can improve the process of drug and vaccine discovery by predicting how efficiently ...

Scientists at Tel Aviv University and the Israel Institute for Biological Research have developed the first mRNA vaccine proven completely effective against deadly bacteria. This groundbreaking ...

The mRNA sequence more or less serves as a sort of source code for the vaccine. The documents the Stanford team published on Github include two pages of explanation and two pages containing the ...

Messenger RNA (mRNA) are biological molecules that transfer the information coded by genes in the nucleus to the cytoplasm for protein synthesis by ribosomes. mRNA sequences can be designed to ...

The mRNA vaccines now in use are based on early SARS-CoV-2 strains and include a genetic sequence from the "original" spike protein. But like any virus, SARS-CoV-2 is constantly mutating. Some ...

For example, they have characterized the transcriptome (mRNA, lncRNA, and miRNA) of aortas in an atherosclerosis mouse model, both during disease progression and after regression following treatment.

Previous studies have created language models to decode various biological sequences, including proteins and DNA, but this was the first language model to focus on the untranslated region of mRNA.

Researchers aimed to develop tools to create novel mRNA sequences — ones that code for viral proteins, for example — in the lab, and then introduce those mRNA molecules into cells. The cells would ...
