Center for RNA Biomedicine Co-Director Nils Walter, Ph.D. is excited about sharing some news about yet another fascinating role RNA plays in gene regulation – and it’s about time… literally.
In a new review article, “Regulation of bacterial gene expression by non-coding RNA: It is all about time!” published January 10, 2024, in the journal Cell Chemical Biology, Walter and his colleague Adrien Chauvier, Ph.D., at the Single Molecule Analysis Group and Center for RNA Biomedicine, Department of Chemistry, University of Michigan, discuss the vital role that speed plays in the process of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) folding in bacteria.
