This powerful chemical tool requires small molecules with well-defined biological activity, cell permeability, and selectivity to accurately and reliably probe specific mechanistic and phenotypic questions (11, 12) . While ligands that bind non-ribosomal RNA in vitro have been reported for decades, the development of chemical probes with evidence of specific small molecule:RNA engagement in cell or animal models has dramatically increased in the last four years. Recent studies report several drug-like small molecules that target a range of RNAs in animal models, including riboswitches (15) , miRNAs, (16, 17) splice sites (18) , and mature mRNAs (19) , at least one of which is currently in clinical trials (NCT02268552). ./cache/cord-263645-wupre5uj.txt ./txt/cord-263645-wupre5uj.txt
