RNA functions broadly as informational molecule, genome, enzyme and
machinery for RNA processing. While these functions reflect ancient
activities, they also remain vital components of contemporary
biochemical pathways. In eukaryotic cells RNA processing impacts the
biogenesis of RNA molecules of essentially every shape and function. The
collection of articles in this volume describes the current state of
understanding of the broad array of RNA processing events in animal and
plant cells, key unanswered questions, and cutting edge approaches
available to address these questions. Some questions discussed in this
volume include, how viruses subvert the RNA processing machinery of the
host cell, how the coordination of co-transcriptional RNA processing is
regulated at the level of chromatin, the status of RNA processing in
plant organelles, and how micro RNA machinery is biosynthesized and
regulated.
