#ncRNA molecules are far stranger than you think. We propose that OLE RNA is bacteria's functional mimic of #mTOR, and the Das lab at Stanford proposes OLE RNA penetrates cell membranes! They also find that RNAs we called ROOL and GOLLD form 8-membered nanocages.

Looking forward to publishing new findings on #riboswitch #noncoding RNAs and other strange nucleic acids in the new year. I will try to post about the most interesting advances on Bluesky.
