We are excited to share a new publication w/ @JosephYesselman in @NAR_Open. RNA secondary structure prediction and design typically minimize the global free energy. We show that *local* stability compensation is a powerful way of designing RNA structures 1/4

Sharing an update on our manuscript centered on local stability compensation (LSC) in RNA, a sort of balancing act between stems and loops.
We added a section about how LSC is distinguished by phylogeny, for example between plant and animal microRNA precursors.

Just a post to "try things out". Here's a #Oregonian #waterfall I captured a while ago at a special time of day.

Excited to announce a new collaborative preprint about a structural concept 'local stability compensation'. This states structurally important motifs must be flanked by more stable helices. We observe this effect natural occurring RNAs and experimentally evaluate it. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
