Strand displacement mechanism in RNA appears to switch genetic expression from “on” to “off”

Similar to a light switch, RNA switches (called riboswitches) determine which genes turn "on" and "off." Although this may seem like a simple process, the inner workings of these switches have confounded biologists for decades.
