When the Human Genome Project was complete, DNA bowed out of the limelight and gave way to RNA as a major player in genetic regulation. New findings that reveal the master architect behind a functioning motor neuron not only mirror this ideological shift but further point to the increasingly indisputable role of RNA as the molecule behind biological complexity.
