A messenger RNA (mRNA) does more than provide ribosomes a template for creating a sequence of amino acids. It also conveys regulatory information, including so-called stop codons. But just as cars ...
When the Beatles sang “Hello Goodbye,” opposites and reversals were played to whimsical effect. With microbes, they hint at something darker, or at least something more complex. Microbes, it appears, ...
