Science Magazine and its online Knowledge Environments weave through the multilayered world of RNA in a special collection of articles published with the 2 September 2005 issue. In Science, Review and Viewpoint articles cover the relationship between RNA structure and function, the emerging "big world" of small RNAs, noncoding RNAs, and other aspects of this remarkable molecule; also in the issue are eleven new research papers touching various aspects of RNA. In addition, an accompanying pull-out poster limns the role of small RNAs in gene silencing. Science's Signal Transduction Knowledge Environment presents articles and an animation further exploring the roles of RNA in genomic complexity and regulation of gene expression. And the Science of Aging Knowledge Environment looks at how RNA interference has affected aging research in a key model system, the worm.
