RNA Biology : An Introduction
Written with biologists, biochemists and other molecular scientists in mind, this volume meets the long-felt need for a textbook dedicated to the topic and recreates the excitement surrounding the scientific revolution sparked by the discovery of RNA interference in 1998.Students and instructors alike will profit from the author's exclusive first-hand knowledge, drawing on his breakthrough discoveries at the Tuschl lab at Rockefeller University. Gunter Meister abandons the traditionalist treatment of nucleic acids found in most biochemistry and molecular biology texts, adopting instead a modern approach in both concept and scope.The text is divided into three parts, on mRNA, non-coding RNA, and RNomics, and the author addresses the traditional roles of RNA in the transmission and regulation of genetic information, as well as the recently discovered functions of small RNA species in pathogen defense, cell differentiation and higher-level genomic regulation. All set to become the standard for teaching molecular science to biologists and biochemists.

RNA Therapeutics : The Evolving Landscape of RNA Therapeutics
RNA Therapeutics: The Evolving Landscape of RNA Therapeutics provides a comprehensive overview of RNA therapeutic modalities, from bench-to-bedside, with an emphasis on the increasingly impactful areas of gene therapy, oligonucleotide therapeutics, gene editing and delivery.International leaders in the field examine RNA-based therapeutics tools that have been developed to-date to modulate cellular processes such as transcription, translation and protein function.Approved RNA-based therapies and lessons learned from failed therapies are discussed in-depth, as are evolving advances in RNA biochemical analysis, and similar advances that are enabling clinical application of RNA-based therapies. Later sections discuss delivery technologies, remaining hurdles in research and translation, the therapy development process from the lab to the clinic, and novel RNA-based therapies currently in development.

What is RNA self-replication?
RNA self-replication is a process where RNA molecules are able to catalyze their own replication without the need for external enzymes. This ability is crucial for the early evolution of life on Earth, as it is believed to be a key step in the transition from prebiotic chemistry to the emergence of life. RNA self-replication involves the RNA molecule acting as both a template and an enzyme, allowing it to make copies of itself. This process is a fundamental aspect of the RNA world hypothesis, which suggests that RNA played a central role in the origin of life.

What are DNA and RNA?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are both types of nucleic acids that are essential for the storage and expression of genetic information in living organisms. DNA is the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. It is a double-stranded molecule that is composed of a long chain of nucleotides. RNA, on the other hand, is a single-stranded molecule that is involved in various biological roles, including coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes. It plays a crucial role in the synthesis of proteins from the genetic information encoded in DNA.

What happens first during RNA processing?
During RNA processing, the initial step is the removal of introns from the pre-mRNA molecule through a process called splicing. This results in the formation of a mature mRNA molecule that only contains exons. Following splicing, a 5' cap is added to the beginning of the mRNA molecule, which helps protect it from degradation and aids in the initiation of translation. Finally, a poly-A tail is added to the 3' end of the mRNA molecule, which also plays a role in stabilizing the mRNA and facilitating its export from the nucleus.
-
Is mRNA the same as RNA?
mRNA (messenger RNA) is a type of RNA (ribonucleic acid). RNA is a broad category that includes several types of molecules involved in various cellular processes, including mRNA, tRNA (transfer RNA), and rRNA (ribosomal RNA). mRNA specifically carries the genetic information from the DNA in the cell's nucleus to the ribosomes, where it is used as a template for protein synthesis. Therefore, while mRNA is a type of RNA, not all RNA molecules are mRNA.

What is the best natural science: Math, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, or Computer Science?
It is subjective to determine the "best" natural science as each field has its own unique contributions to our understanding of the natural world. Math provides the foundation for understanding and solving problems in all the other sciences. Physics explores the fundamental laws of nature and the behavior of matter and energy. Biology studies living organisms and their interactions with the environment. Chemistry focuses on the composition, structure, and properties of matter. Computer Science deals with the theory and practice of computation and information. Each of these sciences is valuable in its own right and contributes to our understanding of the world around us.

How can one explain RNA interference simply?
RNA interference is a natural process in cells that helps regulate gene expression. It involves small RNA molecules, called siRNAs or miRNAs, binding to specific messenger RNA molecules and targeting them for degradation or blocking their translation into proteins. This process can effectively silence the expression of specific genes, allowing cells to control which proteins are produced. In simple terms, RNA interference can be thought of as a way for cells to turn down the volume on certain genes, reducing their impact on cellular processes.

Which subject should be removed: Chemistry, Biology, Physics, or Computer Science?
It is not advisable to remove any of these subjects as they all play a crucial role in providing a well-rounded education. Each subject offers unique perspectives and skills that are valuable for students' academic and professional development. Instead of removing a subject, it would be more beneficial to ensure that all students have access to a diverse range of subjects and resources to support their learning in each area.
