Revving up COVID mRNA vaccines: Algorithm generates 128-fold increase in antibodies

Research paper proposes a new method for predicting highly expressed genes based on codon usage bias and minimum free energy of mRNA secondary structures. The method involves constructing a stochastic grammar that generates sequences with high CAI and low MFE, and testing it on two mRNA vaccines.

Study finds school-household network key to understanding disease transmission in children

Study aimed to investigate the transmission of respiratory infections among children in schools and households. The results showed that schools play a significant role in transmission within study years, while households play a significant role in transmission between study years and between primary and secondary schools.
