Reaching cruising altitude: New discovery tools to target RNA

Dark Matter Blog

Our overall mission at Arrakis is to expand the set of “druggable” targets for small-molecule medicines to include RNA. Today, we are pleased to announce that our article describing one such platform: “ PEARL-seq, A Photoaffinity Platform for the Analysis of Small Molecule-RNA Interactions ” was published in ACS Chemical Biology.

Scientists discover new antiviral defense system in bacteria

Broad Institute

It’s been very exciting to integrate genetics, bioinformatics, biochemistry, and structural biology approaches in one study to understand this fascinating molecular system.” Most known bacterial defense systems work by sensing viral DNA or RNA, or cellular stress due to the infection. The finding was striking and unprecedented.

Is That DNA Dangerous?

Codon

And finally, people intent on causing harm could engineer pathogens to become more dangerous. But DNA screening tools can't simply flag any sequence that is similar to a potentially dangerous virus because the public databases also include engineered sequences comprising DNA sequences created from multiple different organisms.
