New role for non-coding RNA;http://f1000.com/5601958?key=gqh9xf05njf034l Some long non-coding RNAs are required for the expression of neighboring protein-coding genes in humans — yet another role the mysterious non-coding transcriptome plays in regulating gene expression.U.A.

It takes three to replicate;http://f1000.com/3176956?key=c2pndjc7fv2tqm0 Using single-molecule fluorescence microscopy, researchers observed for the first time the DNA replication machinery at work in living E. coli cells in real time. The novel technique revealed that DNA replication in the bacterium requires the concerted action of three, and not two (as previously thought), polymerases.R.
