This study identifies a family of archaeal hibernation factors that bind to ribosomes in tandem and protect them during dormancy.

The paper identifies divergent ribosomal RNA sequences in the PTC of archaea and determines their structure, revealing sequence variation and a novel hibernation factor.

The paper identifies circular 23S rRNA in archaeal ribosomes, showing they are more abundant than linear forms and confirms their structure through sequencing and modeling.

The paper develops an RNA language model to predict mutations that enhance RNA thermostability using a new database of RNA sequences linked to environmental temperatures.
