RNA switches out in the cold

Mol Cell. 2010 Jan 15;37(1):1-2. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2009.12.032.

Abstract

In this issue of Molecular Cell, Giuliodori et al. (2010) describe a cold-induced genetic switch made of RNA. Could thermo-sensing RNAs be among the most common types of RNA genetic switches?
