New OA journal on RNA

The Journal of RNAi and Gene Splicing is a new peer-reviewed, open-access journal from Library Publishing Media (LPM). The inaugural issue appeared earlier today. (Thanks to Muhammad Sohail.) From Bruce Patterson's opening editorial:
[W]e are on the threshold of a new era in molecular biology that has the potential to redefine gene regulation and the research approaches used in medical therapeutics and health research. The rapid increase in the number of publications in the RNA silencing field will be greatly served by a specialty journal dedicated to the field and we are please to announce the planned publication of just such a new journal dedicated to this purpose: The Journal of RNAi and Gene Silencing. It will serve as a new venue for the rapid publication of articles covering all aspects of the RNA universe and we welcome your contributions.
