Systematic engineering and machine learning analysis of intrinsic terminators reveal crucial nucleotides directly upstream of the terminator hairpin.

The paper systematically engineers and analyzes intrinsic terminators in bacteria, finding that an adenosine upstream of the terminator hairpin improves protein production and reduces read-through.

Exploration of mRNA-sized RNA import into Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondria by a combined synthetic biology and adaptive laboratory evolution approach

This study investigates RNA import into yeast mitochondria using synthetic biology and adaptive laboratory evolution, finding that mRNA import remains undemonstrated despite existing short RNA import mechanisms.
