#23 RNA design, EteRNA and NEMO with Fernando Portela

Listen Later

In this episode, I talk to Fernando Portela,

a software engineer and
amateur scientist
who works on RNA design — the problem of composing an RNA sequence
that has a specific secondary structure.

We talk about how Fernando and others compete and collaborate in designing RNA

molecules in the online game EteRNA and about Fernando’s new
RNA design algorithm, NEMO, which outperforms all prior published methods by a wide margin.
