The RNA world hypothesis for the early development of life on the planet requires that RNA molecules (ribozymes) could have catalysed a wide variety of chemical reactions. Known ribozymes in contemporary biology carry out a limited range of chemical catalysis, mostly involving phosphoryl transfer, but in vitro selection has generated species catalysing a broader range of chemistry.

大家知道，实际上RNA它的所有的发展都是来自大数据。换句话说，我们当前的生物医学的发展实际上都依赖于 90 年代初开展的以破译人的一串密码为代表的基因组研究。从此整个的大数据就进入了生物医学领域，带动了越来越多的深刻的变化。当然我们知道现在组学大数据跟医学的结合，就导致了整个医学的精准医学的出现。所以大数据是在促进整个社会医学变革的，一个原始的动力。 (More...)

Our research focuses on the structure of RNA and its interaction with RNA proteins. Using biophysics and computational simulation techniques, we explore the dynamic behavior and structural features of RNA and develop new RNA structure prediction algorithms. Additionally, we investigate the mechanism of action of RNA proteins, especially those related to diseases. (More...)

In this seminar, I will present our work towards understanding how a viral RNA binds the ribosome and enables a noncanonical "translation reinitiation" event. Combining bioinformatic, functional, and structural data from Cryo-EM, we propose a model for how this relatively small RNA uses programmed molecular motions within a surprisingly simple mechanism. (More...)

Until system-wide, unbiased analyses increased the number of recognized RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) well into the four-digit range, fewer than half of all RPs were known. This surprising outcome delivered new challenges for exploration: from the prevalence of structurally disordered RNA-binding regions with roles in the formation of RNA-protein condensates (More...)

In this seminar, He will present an overview of these technologies, and the recent discovery of a global snoRNA-tRNA interaction network. He invented a series of methods in the past 10 years, providing an unprecedented view of dynamic RNA 2D and 3D structures and interactions in the transcriptome in various physiological contexts and human diseases. (More...)

The Knowing when an RNA sequence includes a conserved RNA structure is not trivial and depends on clues left behind by conservation, covariation and variation. I will present three recent advances: (1) a statistical covariation test to identify significant covariation over back- ground covariation due to phylogeny; including a power of covariation (More...)

RNA, as a carrier of genetic information, plays an important role in protein synthesis, gene regulation, immune regulation and many other life activities. "Structure determines function", therefore, determining the three-dimensional structure of RNA is crucial for understanding its function and related drug development. . However, RNA structure is more complex and more (More...)
