New Method Provides Panoramic View Of Protein-RNA Interactions In Living Cells

Monday, November 3, 2008 - 16:08 in Biology & Nature

Scientists have developed a genome-wide platform to study how specialized proteins regulate RNA in living, intact cells. The platform allows researchers to identify, in a single experiment, every sequence within every strand of RNA to which proteins bind. The result is an unbiased and unprecedented look at how differences in RNA can explain how a worm and a human can each have 25,000 genes yet be so different.
