Competition by the masses.
Is the activity of the complex molecular machineries in charge of gene expression saturated in the cell? In this issue, Munding et al. (2013) report that titration of spliceosomal components by abundant ribosomal protein transcripts controls splicing of other genes and contributes to meiosis-specific splicing in budding yeast.
