Abstract
In the past several decades, there has been an increased appreciation of RNA modifications and their biological functions. In this issue of Cell, Flynn et al. describe the discovery of glycoRNAs present on the surface of cells. Like proteins and lipids, conserved non-coding RNAs are functionalized with carbohydrates.
