Scientists at Baidu Research's California branch said the software can design mRNA sequences with more intricate shapes and structures than those found in current vaccines, allowing the genetic ...

Every time a shuttle docks with the International Space Station (ISS), a delicate dance unfolds between the shuttle's docking system and its counterpart on the station.

Proteins are built from smaller units called amino acids, which are specified by three-nucleotide mRNA sequences called ... three hairpin loops that form the shape of a three-leafed clover.

The newly formed strand of mRNA is now ready to leave the nucleus and travel to the ribosome. After translation, the polypeptide is finally folded into the correct shape and becomes a protein.
