title: RNA nucleocytoplasmic transport.
abstract: The transport of RNAs from the nucleus to the cytoplasm is an obligatory step in gene expression and may also be a target for regulation. The cellular machinery has the capacity to export a myriad of RNA transcripts, which differ significantly in sequence and structure. Recent work is providing the first glimpses into how RNA export occurs.
