Preface The past decade has witnessed an explosive growth in the study of the portion of the mammalian transcriptome that does not encode protein products. This noncoding transcriptome, in fact, accounts for a large fraction of the RNA output of the cell and, until relatively recently, has been not only poorly understood and appreciated but also understudied. As we identify and begin to chara
