About the Cover
A model for the inhibition of CRISPR immunity by CRISPR decoys. Decoys consist of a silent CRISPR array cloned into a high copy number plasmid that presumably binds the targeting crRNA ribonucleoprotein complex, effectively reducing their availability to attack the target.



Journal Description

RNA Biology serves as a forum for current thinking on RNA, from coding and noncoding to therapeutic strategies based on that still very magic molecule. Our journal emphasizes RNA regulatory mechanisms (both natural and potentially therapeutic) and genomics as well as include post-transcriptional regulation at the mRNA level, even if a non-coding RNA is not involved. The scope covers non-coding RNAs, non-coding regions in mRNAs, and RNA-binding proteins.
