Dear Colleagues:
Presidential Executive Order (EO) 14081 on “Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe and Secure American Bioeconomy” envisions a vital role for biotechnology in harnessing the power of biology to benefit society. From mitigating climate change to ensuring food security, improving human health, and creating resilient supply chains, understanding the mechanisms in cells and organisms that shape how genotype becomes phenotype, and how cellular information is transformed into organismal fitness and performance is central to achieving breakthroughs in biotechnology and growing the bioeconomy. The central dogma of molecular biology has expanded well beyond the flow of information from DNA-to-RNA-to-protein into a system of complex interactions and feedback loops among all these macromolecules and, importantly, their many isoforms and chemically modified variants. Post-transcriptional RNA modifications
