Special Issue on ‘‘Ribogenomics-the study of RNA-centric molecular mechanisms and cellular processes’’

The journal Genomics Proteomics&Bioinformatics(GPB)is now inviting submissions for a special issue(to be published in spring of 2014)on the topic of‘‘The Ribogenomics of Life’’.Life was born of the RNA world.The RNA world was governed by RNA-centric mechanisms and processes in single cells.These operationally defined cells became more complex and heterogeneous:some were robust against changes but lost potential for diversity and others became complex but more opportunistic.Proteins w
