Folding Forum

I do both F@H and eteRNA and I am wondering if F@H will study the synthesized RNA that is created from eteRNA.

I wasn't able to find a project description containing the term "eteRNA". Nor have I heard of what that is. I'll have to look that up. I did however do a search for all projects that have "DNA" or "RNA" in their descriptions, and here's the projects I found that could be related to what you're talking about.

Also, this may or may not be relevant, but we did have a now-complete distributed-computing project Genome@home. http://genomeathome.stanford.edu/

EDIT: oh wow its a game, similar to Foldit. Here I was thinking it was some sort of molecule! In that case those project descriptions should indicate that that some of the researchers are interested in studying the folding of RNA and related ideas. I've never heard of F@h using eteRNA as a basis for their projects, although I do know in some occasions Rosetta@home is useful. I'm sure some of the more knowledgeable people on here can give you a better answer, but that's what I know.

eteRNA is a program where users design synthetic RNA and some of the designs actually get synthesized in a lab at Stanford University run by Dr. Rhiju Das. Dr. Das recently co-authored a paper with Dr. Pande that was published in PNAS. Based on the past history of F@H studying the folding of RNA it is possible that in the future F@H may study RNA that was designed from eteRNA.
