Unfolding RNA origami reveals cell secrets
01 Mar 2024

March - April 2024 - A*STAR researchers - Yue Wan and WANG Jiaxu - developed a new method to study RNA’s intricate folding patterns within a single cell, revealing fresh insights into how cells develop and function. The sequencing technique sc-SPORT chemically tags and sequences unfolded fragments of RNA to link RNA folding patterns to cellular functions. This approach revealed that RNA folding becomes more diverse as stem cells differentiate into specialised cells.
