A Fundamental Discovery About How Gene Activity Is Regulated

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have discovered a fundamental mechanism that regulates gene activity in cells. The newly discovered mechanism targets RNA, or ribonucleic acid, a close cousin of DNA that plays an important role in cellular activity. The discovery, detailed in a paper published February 3 in the journal Molecular Cell, is a
