The postgenomic era has taught us a big one: That the measure of human complexity has less to do with how many genes we have as it does with how we process them. Now, Rockefeller University scientists offer, for the first time, a genome-wide view — from the first chromosome to the last — of how differences in RNA can explain how a worm and a human can each have 25,000 genes yet be so different.
