RNA WORLD AGENTS. "These compatible stem loops not only comprise the agents of the current RNA world but also include all forms of RNA viruses. This means the stem-loop tool—with its base-pairing and nonpairing composition—is relevant to all agents of the current RNA world being active in cellular genomes after transcription." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

STEM LOOPS. "They are not only remnants of the ancient RNA world but ongoing infection-derived modular tools for new cellular needs, that is, “domesticated” consortia of interacting RNA agents such as viruses, mobile genetic elements, and noncoding RNAs." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

NATURAL SELECTION IN RNA CONSORTIA. "Whereas the single stem-loop emergence seems to not be subjected to selection processes, the consortia that are built with these tools are subjected to selection processes." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

RNA AGENTS AND PROTEIN CODING. "It now seems plausible that the basic coding of proteins and their variable regulations (conserved in DNA) are the collective results of an abundance of complementary RNA agents." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

PROTEIN CODING INNOVATION. "RNA agents provide an unlimited potential for new productivity since there is no fundamental limit to be further parasitized by additional agents." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

SYNCHRONIZED SCALING. "The accumulation of junk DNA would indeed scale with accumulating RNA society complexity." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

CONSORTIAL QUASI-SPECIES. "We must look at organisms as phenomena in which complex and dynamic “protein bodies” are regulated by RNA agents that build sequences that have new protein meanings and can act as consortial ribozymatic agents to create networks. The highly stable DNA cellular world is then an omnipresent, comfortable, chemically stable but enzymatically vacant habitat." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION. "RNA molecules can be divided into secondary structure components, which may have distinct biological functions." https://lnkd.in/erj2nzZ View in LinkedIn

RNA SECONDARY FUNCTIONS. "Loops that terminate a single stem, such as the GNRA tetraloop, may engage in tertiary interactions, or junctions that link several helices together may be selected to orient the helices specifically." (Secondary structure and functional differences). https://lnkd.in/erj2nzZ View in LinkedIn

ALU DOMAIN. "All domains of life have their own peculiar and related 7S like RNAs, but only eukaryotes and some prokaryotes have the Alu domain (stem loops) at the 5′ end. This RNA appears to have been present in an RNA quasispecies-like world with conserved domains of dsRNA and bound proteins." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn
