The RNA Society Newsletter - Fall 2010 is available

W e are pleased to share the Fall 2010 RNA Society Newsletter. In this issue, we introduce our new award winners, review the 2010 annual meeting in Seattle and discuss the 2011 meeting in Kyoto, Japan. In addition we have begun the search for a new CEO as Evelyn is retiring at the end of 2010. We welcome your suggestions and applications for the CEO position; please see relevant articles within this issue for details.

The RNA Society was formed in 1993 to facilitate sharing and dissemination of experimental results and emerging concepts in ribonucleic acid research. The Society encompasses RNA research in the broadest sense: from the ribosome to the spliceosome, from RNA viruses to catalytic RNAs. It is a multidisciplinary society, representing molecular, evolutionary and structural biology, biochemistry, biomedical sciences, chemistry, genetics, and virology as they relate to questions of the structure and function of RNA and of ribonucleoprotein assemblies.
Additional information about the history of the RNA Society can be found in the first issue of the Society Newsletter

The RNA journal is a publication of the RNA Society. It serves as an international forum for publishing original reports on RNA research in the broadest sense. It is a monthly journal which provides rapid publication of significant original research in all areas of RNA structure and function in eukaryotic, prokaryotic, and viral systems.
It covers a broad range of subjects in RNA research, including: structural analysis by biochemical or biophysical means; mRNA structure, function and biogenesis; alternative processing: cis-acting elements and trans-acting factors; ribosome structure and function; translational control; RNA catalysis; tRNA structure, function biogenesis and identity; RNA editing; rRNA structure, function and biogenesis; RNA transport and localization; regulatory RNAs; large and small RNP structure, function and biogenesis; viral RNA metabolism; RNA stability and turnover; in vitro evolution; and RNA chemistry.
