As many things slow down a bit between christmas and new years day, I thought it might be a good idea to recommend to you a browser-based game dealing with RNA. In fact, it is more than a game. It is a citizen science gamification approach to learn about and to help design RNA molecules. Even more, the RNA you design could actually be synthesized in the lab to test its real-life properties. The game is called EteRNA and, if you are interested, you should just register at this URL and start playing: http://www.eternagame.org/web/
If you like, initilly check out this approx. 3 minutes video and/or read this brief overview.
I actually spent the past three days playing in a row and if you like, you may also discuss this game in this thread over at our Rechenkraft.net forum.
Do not hesitate to try it out - even if you do not have the slightest idea of what RNA actually is. You will understand things quickly once you walk through their tutorial. Promised.
For the future experts: You will soon figure out that loops may pose a problem. Professional overview is found here:
Internal loops: http://rna.bgsu.edu/rna3dhub/motifs/release/il/current
Hairpin loops: http://rna.bgsu.edu/rna3dhub/motifs/release/hl/current
Have fun!!!
