Silence, a new open access journal covering all aspects of genetic and epigenetic control  mediated by RNA, has launched with Phil Zamore and David Baulcombe as Editors-in-Chief.  Silence is supported by an outstanding international Editorial Board.

The first articles published in Silence today cover a range of RNA regulatory areas. Mueller et al describe the Solution structure of the Drosha double-stranded RNA-binding domain, while Dr Parker reviews the role of argonaute as a key component in RNA slicing, particularly in light of recent work by Patel et al.

Silence aims to become the
journal for the RNA silencing and non-coding RNA community, bringing
together researchers working on all model organisms, and from both
academia and industry.
