RNAiFold2T: Constraint Programming design of thermo-IRES switches
Motivation: RNA thermometers (RNATs) are cis-regulatory ele- ments that change secondary structure upon temperature shift. Often involved in the regulation of heat shock, cold shock and virulence genes, RNATs constitute an interesting potential resource ...

Mini-ribozymes and freezing environment: a new scenario for the early RNA world
International audienceThe RNA World hypothesis states that the present-day life, which is based on DNA genomes and protein enzymes, was preceded by a simpler life form based primarily on RNA.

Ribozymes: the characteristics and properties of catalytic RNAs [PDF]
Ribozymes, or catalytic RNAs, were discovered a little more than 15 years ago. They are found in the organelles of plants and lower eukaryotes, in amphibians, in prokaryotes, in bacteriophages, and in viroids and satellite viruses that infect plants.

The Implementation and Efficacy of Scientific Literature within an Introductory Biology Lecture Course:A Study in Pedagogy, Curricula, and Standards as They Apply to Post-Secondary Science Education [PDF]
The current study involved students enrolled in the Fall 2007 Biosc 0150 and Spring 2008 Biosc 0160 lecture sections of a single Faculty member. Most students were incoming freshmen, and their prior exposure to the natural sciences varied.
