RNA Function in Gene Regulation
RNA plays functionally diverse roles in gene expression and regulation, and novel RNA-based gene regulatory mechanisms continue to be discovered. This session intends to present new information on rapidly progressing areas of RNA research in eukaryotic and bacterial systems, with a special focus on RNA processing, RNA editing, and RNA-protein interactions in translation.
