Computational Investigation of RNA CUG Repeats Responsible for Myotonic Dystrophy 1

[Image: see text] Myotonic Dystrophy 1 (DM1) is a genetic disease caused by expansion of CTG repeats in DNA. Once transcribed, these repeats form RNA hairpins with repeating 1×1 nucleotide UU internal loop motifs, r(CUG)(n), which attract muscleblind-like 1 (MBNL1) protein leading to the disease. In...
