Syllabus

Introduction to RNA

DNA gets all the glory, but RNA does the work. RNA consists of bases that form pairs to create 3D shapes. In this module, learn about the different base pairs and the chemical forces which drive them, as well as how scientists work with RNA in the lab.

The Ribosome and Translation

The ribosome is one of the oldest RNA machines in your cells! It makes all of the proteins necessary for life. In this module, learn about how RNA powers the translation process, and how scientists are rewriting the rules to design advanced polymers.

Overview

Through videos and gameplay, this course provides a unique introduction to RNA biology, including its uses in medicine and bioengineering. Learn how RNA powers cell growth and development by designing your own RNAs using the popular citizen science game Eterna.
