RNA can be translated into protein or transformed into gene-regulating molecules. A newly discovered "reader" protein recognizes a chemical instruction tag affixed to RNA, an important step in determining the RNA's destiny. Because of the fundamental processes involved, this research has implications for cells' normal function and disease.
