Hi there, This morning I was reading the newsletter from The Economist the desk of John Micklethwait, Editor - 14th June 2007 and the article about the RNA revolution. It is yet hard - you may know I am not a biologist and even less a genome expert ! - to understand everything and explain the details and why it's a revolution.

Further details are presented in Nature (Full TOC), I also found and article from the Scientific American.

While I'll understand better all of this, I'll update this post.
