Welcome to the RNA Underworld!
September 9, 2010
Hello all who venture to the Dark Side!
Yes ncRNA is also known as the 'Dark Matter of the cell' or the 'RNA underworld' due to the way it doesnt really get the credit. I have called it the 'civil service' of the cell since ncRNAs are often the unsung heroes of how a cell runs.
In this blog I will talk about some of the latest discoveries from the RNA world - the modern and the ancient. I may also include some software updates.
Cheers
Lesley
