But for a recent paper out of Nanjing, China, researchers engineered another enzyme and showed that, when mixed with FAST-PETase, the two worked together to break down plastic twice as fast as the Texas enzyme alone. Because it turns out that at least half of them , in humans, also bind to RNA molecules. RNA export systems.

A gene encoding green fluorescent protein was placed alongside one of the three promoters, and as the engineered cells cycled from one gene to the next, they blinked between green—dark—green—dark. The RNA Exporter , which was developed by Felix Horns and others in my lab, is one example. Elowitz: It’s a mix.

Scientists are already building a model that can, for example, look at which RNA molecules are expressed in a cell at t=0 and predict how those molecules will change at t=1. SeqFISH, developed by Long Cai’s group at Caltech, maps the spatial positions of thousands of RNA, DNA, or protein molecules within single cells.
