I don't know about "astounding" and "remains opaque". From classes I actually already (mis)assumed that rna had glycans, because almost every single thing your body produces has glycans put on it, and glycoscience is a pretty established bio subfield it seems. The surprising thing to me isn't that glycans are on rna but that researchers hadn't checked, if this groups is the first to.
