RNA deserves its own massive counterpart to the human genome project, researchers argue
This report is very much modeled on the
NASEM report
that initiated the Human Genome Project,
”
completed in 2003,
says Cheung, who wasn’t involved in the new report’s drafting. But as the report notes,
“The RNome is much more complex
”
than a genome.
For one thing, frequent modifications to RNA mean there will be no fixed, reference sequence like the one researchers produced for the human genome. For a given RNA molecule, researchers will have to document
“not only the sequence, but also the type and location of the modifica...

Can quantum tech give telescopes sharper vision?
When the Extremely Large Telescope is completed in Chile in a few years’ time, its 39-meter mirror will be larger than those of all earlier research telescopes added together. Yet even this titan will see planets around nearby stars as single points of light, with no discernible detail.
What’s an astronomer to do? At a meeting last week organized by NOIRLab, the U.S. national center for optical and infrared astronomy, researchers discussed a possible answer: not one big telescope, but many, their light combined by quantum technologies. If the strategy works, telescopes hundreds of kilometers apart could collectiv...
