KEY FINDING. "One of the most interesting discoveries in the last decades was certainly the fact that nucleic acid sequences are not only information bearing molecules that serve as a read-only storage medium, but they can be actively modified by several coplayers." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn
ACTIVE AND UBIQUITOUS. "A great variety of such mobile genetic elements have been identified during the last 40 years as obligate inhabitants of all genomes, either prokaryotic or eukaryotic. They infect, insert, and delete; some cut and paste, others copy and paste, and both spread within the genome." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn
IN SPACE AND TIME. "Noncoding RNAs can undergo nuclear-cytoplasmic, nuclear-mitochondrial, and axodendritic trafficking via ribonucleprotein complexes that promote the spatiotemporal distribution and function of various combinations of ncRNAs, mRNAs, and RNA binding proteins." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

"RNA EDITING especially can transmit environmental information to the epigenome and therefore enable neuronal plasticity with learning and memory." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn
DNA AS ECOLOGICAL NICHE. "DNA is not solely a genetic storage medium that serves as an evolutionary protocol but is also a species-specific ecological niche." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn
NONCODING RNAs "can precisely control the spatiotemporal deployment of genes that are executing neuronal processes with extreme cell specificity." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

REGULATORY REACH. "Noncoding RNAs can be regulated in a varying manner, coordinated or independently, autonomously or functionally interrelated and can regulate individual genes as well as large genetic networks." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn
