About the Book
Recent studies on the activities of RNA in the cell have revolutionized our understanding of the many roles played by this molecule. The first two editions of The RNA World (1993, 1999) shed light on the prebiotic era dominated by this versatile molecule. The new third edition of The RNA World adds an up-to-date perspective, showing the richness of RNA roles in the modern world. The updated original chapters are supplemented with new chapters on RNA–protein complexes, SnRNPs and snoRNPs, telomerase RNA, RNAi, microRNAs, noncoding RNA, and many other subjects. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the biology of nucleic acids and gene regulation and a valuable resource for teaching these concepts. Click here to view the Table of Contents.
