RNA variation as the driver of genomic efficiency and phenotypic complexity.

Abstract excerpt

Despite decades of genome sequencing and annotation, a fundamental paradox remains unresolved: how organisms with finite and relatively stable gene numbers generate extraordinary phenotypic diversity. In this review, we propose that regulated RNA variant diversity provides a critical level of resolution for understanding genome expression, which we describe as a conceptual "minimal functional unit" for...
