RNA VIRUS-DRIVEN EVOLUTION. "In eukaryotes, RNA agents (retroviruses and retroposons) are much more diverse, numerous and dynamic and are providing multiple levels of regulatory complexity. We have recently come to realize that transcription of such retroposon sequence (previously considered junk) is abundant and often produces non-coding RNAs, all being part of stem-loop regions." https://lnkd.in/eWydwab View in LinkedIn

LAWLESS RABBIT HOLE. "We refer to the commitment to obligate, inherited symbiosis as the evolutionary “rabbit hole” of obligate symbiosis, implying a generally irreversible journey into a very odd world where the usual rules do not apply. Broadly, the symbiosis rabbit hole refers to the confluence of selection and neutral evolution in generating the extreme patterns of genomic evolution observed in symbiotic partners." https://lnkd.in/dcBwzRs View in LinkedIn

VIRAL SOCIAL MEDIA. "In contrast to traditional and linear thinking, all these features (group identity, addiction modules, regulatory complexity, network emergence, host–virus ecology, and host–host competition) are fundamentally interlinked and consortial. They are inherently network phenomena." https://lnkd.in/eWydwab View in LinkedIn

DEFECTIVE PARASITES. "In most cases, parts of infectious agents remain as defectives some known as LTRs, non-LTRs, SINEs, LINEs, and Alu’s which are later on co-adapted for cellular needs such as regulation tools in all steps and fine-tuned substeps of cellular functions such as, e.g., transcription, translation, epigenetics, repair, and immunity." https://lnkd.in/eWydwab View in LinkedIn

SHAPING EVOLUTION. "Obligate symbiotic relationships shape the evolution of partner lineages. In symbioses that are mutually beneficial, partners evolve traits that enable and stabilize the symbiosis: this cooperative coevolution is emphasized in most studies of symbioses. Genomic work has also revealed that obligate symbiosis produces unusual genome modifications, including extreme reduction, rapid protein evolution, and codon reassignments, all of which are evident in ancient obligate symbionts of insects." https://lnkd.in/dcBwzRs View in LinkedIn

SONG OF DARWIN. "The more I study nature, the more I become impressed […] that the contrivances and beautiful adaptations [acquired through natural selection] transcend in an incomparable degree [those] which the most fertile imagination of the most imaginative man could suggest with unlimited time at his disposal." https://lnkd.in/eykUy37 View in LinkedIn
