Abstract
RNA switches respond to specific ligands to control gene expression. They are widely used in synthetic biology applications and hold potential for future RNA-based therapeutic breakthroughs. However, the crux is their precise design. Here, we will discuss how inverse-RNA-folding could be utilized for the accurate design of RNA switches.
