Scientists Call for Rebalancing Non-Coding RNA Research
Original: Time to Study the RNA Itself: Rebalancing the Non-Coding RNA Research Agenda
A new commentary argues that research into non-coding RNA has focused too heavily on cataloguing RNA sequences and attributing functions to them, and should instead study RNA molecules directly — their biochemistry, structures and mechanisms of action. The authors propose rebalancing the field's agenda toward the RNA itself, a call likely to spark debate among molecular biologists about how the next phase of RNA research should be prioritised.
Why now: The fast growth of non-coding RNA studies, boosted by RNA-based medicine, has prompted debate over whether the field's methods and priorities need resetting.
