Computer scientists develop a new AI tool that rivals AlphaFold 3 in mapping RNA

The same family of artificial intelligence that powers today's image generators is now being aimed at one of biology's hardest puzzles: the ever-changing, three-dimensional shapes of RNA. These are the molecules behind mRNA vaccines like the ones that prevent serious COVID-19 cases.
