Do scientists read enough fiction?

Abstract:

:Reading the academic literature is an essential part of a scientist's job. David Smith argues that reading fiction can be even more important for creativity and productivity than papers and reviews.

  • Quantitative analysis of snoRNA association with pre-ribosomes and release of snR30 by Rok1 helicase.

    abstract::In yeast, three small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are essential for the processing of pre-ribosomal RNA--U3, U14 and snR30--whereas 72 non-essential snoRNAs direct site-specific modification of pre-rRNA. We applied a quantitative screen for alterations in the pre-ribosome association to all 75 yeast snoRNAs in strains de...
