Would you like to find out more about the opportunities for research visits to the University of Edinburgh as part of the RACE project (RNA and Cell Biology – From Fundamental Research to Therapies)?

Read the blog by Dr. Sunandan Mukherjee, a researcher at IIMCB! - bit.ly/3NYDaLi

I’m incredibly honored to share that I’ve received a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) to conduct research at the Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen and Stockholm University.

Unlocking the regulatory code of RNA: launching the Human RNome Project - Genome Biology The human RNome, the complete set of RNA molecules in human cells, arises through complex processing and includes diverse molecular species. While research traditionally focuses on four canonical nucl...

Exciting news for the RNA research community!

The Human RNome Project has been launched: a global effort to map all human RNAs and their chemical modifications. Proud to support it and contribute to the article in Genome Biology doi.org/10.1186/s130...

Science, Stories and Stone: My Research Journey in Edinburgh – Institute of Genetics and Cancer A blog for our community to write about their interests and to share their stories.

"...research isn’t just about data and discoveries; it’s about people, perspectives, and the places that inspire us."
@sunandan.bsky.social from @iimcb.bsky.social has written about his experience of visiting Edinburgh and #IGC for a two-week research visit 👉

In our new review, we dive into the latest breakthroughs in modeling RNA and RNA–protein complexes: from deep learning and molecular simulations to hybrid AI–physics methods and even quantum approaches. 🧬

ChimeraX 1.9 has been released! Session view can now be automatically saved and restored. New ​'Find Cavities' tool identifying pockets in models. www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/dow...

Sounds promising!

We are not yet there to predict the large #RNA molecules unless the non-canonical contacts are detected more accurately!

RNA-Puzzles Round V: blind predictions of 23 RNA structures - Nature Methods The results of the Fifth RNA-Puzzles contest highlights advances in RNA three-dimensional structure prediction and uncovers new insights into RNA folding and structure.

RNA-Puzzles Round V paper is out:
www.nature.com/articles/s41...
It reports the evaluation of blind prediction of 23 targets predicted by 18 groups worldwide. I'm glad that our group ranked as one of the top four groups in this competition!
