TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS. "Transcription factors are proteins involved in the process of converting, or transcribing, DNA into RNA. Transcription factors include a wide number of proteins, excluding RNA polymerase, that initiate and regulate the transcription of genes." https://lnkd.in/eETEA2N View in LinkedIn

SEVERELY UNDERSTUDIED. "In Staphylococcus aureus, hundreds of small regulatory or small RNAs (sRNAs) have been identified, yet this class of molecule remains poorly understood and severely understudied. sRNA genes are typically absent from genome annotation files, and as a consequence, their existence is often overlooked, particularly in global transcriptomic studies." https://lnkd.in/eG7SUXV View in LinkedIn

ANOTHER FRACTION. "Besides protein-coding sequences (including associated untranslated regions), which make up 1.5%–2.5% of the human genome, data from ENCODE suggest that conserved long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are generated from about 9,000 loci that add up to less than an additional 0.4%." http://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1004351 View in LinkedIn

SMALL FRACTION CONSERVED. "Several analyses of sequence conservation between humans and other mammals have found that about 5% of the genome is conserved. It is possible that an additional 4% of the human genome is under lineage-specific selection pressure; however, this estimate appears to be somewhat questionable." http://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1004351 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
