The press radar on this topic:
New York Times - World
Ambros and Ruvkun won Nobel for discovering microRNA, which regulates genes essential for multicellular life, including humans. Ambros is from Hanover, N.H. and is the Silverman Professor of Natural Science at U. Mass Medical; Ruvkun is from Berkeley, Calif. and teaches at Harvard. Disruption can cause diseases like cancer, diabetes, autoimmunity. The human genome has over 1,000 forms of microRNA.
