Maintaining transcriptome solubility constrains mRNA sequence composition
2025-09-20
Abstract excerpt
RNA is built from a four-nucleotide alphabet. Complementary sequences inevitably arise, creating pervasive opportunities for promiscuous RNA–RNA interactions. Here, we show that this chemistry makes the transcriptome intrinsically prone to self-association. We simulated the simultaneous interactions of ~7,500 mRNAs representing the E. coli transcriptome at physiological concentrations. These large-scale simulatio...
