RNAtango - RNA 3d structure analysis in Torsion ANGle dOmain

Marta Maćkowiak, Bartosz Adamczyk, Tomasz Żok, and Marta Szachniuk

https://rnatango.cs.put.poznan.pl

RNA tango is a web application available on any device for 3d structure analysis of torsion angles. The visualisation of torsion angles allows to describe the relationship between individual nucleotides, better than coordinates alone. The tool allows the user to download the data and visualise it, aiding in the prediction of 3d structures.

miRarchitect - machine learning-based tool for rational design of artificial miRNAs

Agnieszka Belter, Jarosław Synak, Marta Maćkowiak, Anna Kotowska-Zimmer, Marek Figlerowicz, Marta Szachniuk, and Marta Olejniczak

https://mirarchitect.cs.put.poznan.pl

miRarchitect was created to support the rational design of amiRNA therapeutics. The design process involves analyzing the target sequence (input), designing and studying the structure and thermodynamics of siRNA, selecting the best native pri-miRNA scaffold, and developing amiRNA.

EXPERIENCE

Poznan University of Technology

I participated in a scientific project focused on exploring quadruplexes in RNA 3D structures. During this time, I developed two bioinformatics tools that were published in prestigious journals. I gained extensive experience in data processing and web development, and I presented my research at three international conferences. From September 2024 to August 2025, I participated in the research grant (2023/51/D/ST6/01207), where I designed and implemented an automated data processing workflow for biological datasets.
