In addition to the RibonanzaNet server hosted by @rdaslab.bsky.social, RNA structure fans can try the new pseudoknotted prediction model in Eterna's RNet Study collection. The 108 puzzles are a mix of experimentally-validated structures and synthetic fabrications. eternagame.org/collections/...

Not exactly citizen science, but such a fun way to connect people with Nature.

Long-standing myths about “silly science” have contributed to the reckless slashing of government-supported research.

Celebrate World RNA Day on August 1 with Eterna In the latest Education Corner, learn about Eterna, an online game which models the base pairing and secondary structure of RNA sequences cdn.rcsb.org/rcsb-pd...

Coming up this weekend, Eternacon will feature presentations about fellow #citsci platform @zooniverse.bsky.social and how participants of both Zooniverse and Eterna have created #machinelearning tools for projects. @noirlabastro.bsky.social Register for free at eternagame.org/eternacon/2025

Meet @frameshifter.org, the new nonprofit program established to steward Eterna's future and advance public engagement in scientific research through games, collective and hybrid intelligence, and human centered design.

Eterna players successfully designed antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to bind with specific regions of the intron and restore F8 exon 16 splicing. A big thank you to @ucscscience.bsky.social for collaborating with us on this cutting-edge research! #citizenscience @rdaslab.bsky.social

Registration for Eterna's annual online conference July 26-27 is open! Come hear from both researchers and players about new approaches to structure-based RNA design and understanding RNA structure. #citsci Full program and free registration at eternagame.org/eternacon/2025

Zooniverse taking the lead in using #machinelearning as a tool for participatory science projects.

Looking forward to attending my first Conference for Advancing the Participatory Sciences this week and delivering a presentation during the Scientific Contributions session on how Eterna players created a large dataset of RNA sequences with pseudoknots for machine learning. 🧪 #CAPS2025

National DNA Day celebrates the completion of the human genome project in 2003 and the discovery of the double helix in 1953. The continuing work of dedicated scientists to learn more about the functioning of genes and RNA in the human body is leading to important advances in medicine.

If you weren't able to attend the workshop, be sure to stop by booth 502 to see our RNA folding game in action. #ASBMB25

Tomorrow morning in room 470! #ASBMB25

Great review of new RNA structure prediction methods!

Our 2024 online conference featured two talks on how innovative Eterna players helped RNA structure researchers improve the preparation of RNA sequences for chemical mapping, particularly formatting the padding and barcodes to reduce primer misfolds and smooth read counts. (Link below⬇️)

Hello World The Eterna RNA structure modeling and puzzle platform has landed in the much happier place. We look forward to continuing conversations with the biochemistry, molecular biology, bioinformatics, machine learning, and participatory science communities.
