Molecular biology: A second layer of information in RNA

Nature. 2014 Jan 30;505(7485):621-2. doi: 10.1038/505621a.

Abstract

Three studies have characterized the full complement of RNA folding in cells. They find large numbers of secondary structures in RNA, some of which may have functional consequences for the cell.
