RNA! RNA!
A big winner this year was research on RNA--the genetic messenger that transcribes DNA code so it can be made into proteins. Work in this area earned the chemistry prize for Stanford
Universitys Roger Kornberg and the medicine prize for Andrew Fire, also of Stanford, and the University of Massachusetts Craig Mello. Studying RNA is important because a full understanding of its functions could lead to therapies and cures for diseases linked to defective genes.
RNA! RNA!
RNA研究是今年的大赢家。RNA是转录DNA密码以便合成蛋白质的基因信使,该领域的工作为斯坦福大学的罗杰科恩伯格赢得了化学奖,为同样来自斯坦福的安德鲁法尔和马萨诸塞大学的克雷格梅洛赢得了生理学或医学奖。研究RNA非常重要,因为充分了解其功能可能帮助我们找到基因缺陷疾病的治疗方法。
