Preface: A New Universe of RNA Interactions We now talk offhandedly of a prebiotic RNA World, a notion that was dismissed as idle and untestable speculation when proposed in the 1960s. Since then, RNA has been shown to catalyze chemical reactions, including the synthesis of the peptide bond. Small RNAs can be selected to recognize compounds with exquisite sensitivity. Even more surprising, some of t
