This is a really odd take. We know what RNA is and its importance since the dawn of molecular biology. We've been measuring RNA by in situ hybridization, RT-PCR, ESTs, microarrays, then RNA-seq, to understand genome function since before genomics.
Can we promote science without pushing revisionist pseudo-revolutionary stories please?
Your eyes, brain and toes share the same DNA… so what makes them different?
Scientists say the answer lies in RNA, the once-overlooked “dark matter” of the genome.
Now researchers are launching a Human RNome Project to map every bit of RNA and its chemical modifications, and this work could transform how we treat cancer, neurological disorders and more.
