GENOMIC DATA STORAGE MODES. "These include short-time storage (dynamic rearrangements, remodifications, rapidly induced alterations for expression and repair), intermediate storage (epigenetic use) including multiple protein-meanings within the same chromosomal structures by different expression modes through different methylation patterns, and long-time storage, i.e., stable inheritable datasets for many generations." https://lnkd.in/e-pJFM6 View in LinkedIn

DNA AS RNA DERIVATIVE. "RNA genomes probably existed before the appearance of DNA genomes. Hence, DNA can be considered to be a modification of RNA, yielding ribonocleotide reductase, followed by only two thymidylate synthases." https://lnkd.in/e-pJFM6 View in LinkedIn

GENOME DATA STORAGE. "The genome, with both its coding and non-coding sections, serves as a genetic, epigenetic and computational cell storage medium that involves different kinds of storage techniques." https://lnkd.in/e-pJFM6 View in LinkedIn

VIRAL DATA BANK. "Viruses store information that not only pertains to (a) replication proteins but also to (b) morphology and (c) phenotypic diversity." https://lnkd.in/e-pJFM6 View in LinkedIn

MICRO-RNAs. "It subsequently became clear that higher-order regulations such as co-suppression, suppression of transposition, position effect variegation, several start- and stop-signals, RNA interference, imprinting, chromosomal methylation, transvection and transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene silencing are processed by micro-RNAs." https://lnkd.in/e-pJFM6 View in LinkedIn

OPPORTUNISTIC AND FLEXIBLE. "Viruses can parasitize almost any replication system, even prebiotic ones, and probably emerged well before the appearance of cellular life forms." (Virus-first theory). https://lnkd.in/e-pJFM6 View in LinkedIn

BIDIRECTIONAL TRAFFICKING. "Trafficking sRNAs derive from various species, including plants, viruses, and fungi. In most cases, crossover by these RNAs occurs in host-parasites interactions. Unlike miRNAs transferred from plants to mammals, these interactions are not one-sided, but bidirectional." (sRNA = small/microRNA (miRNA)). https://lnkd.in/eqwgs-g View in LinkedIn

ADAPTED MODULAR TOOLS. "Most endogenous retroviruses have been degraded into formerly connected domains, but they can still be recognized by retroposons or one of these three genes, which means their formerly connected genomic content may be used by host organisms as single or networking modular tools for a variety of new regulatory functions." https://lnkd.in/euyhznh View in LinkedIn

JUMPING GENES AND MICRO-RNA. "Long-Terminal Repeat (LTR) Retrotransposons Produce Masses of sRNAs That Provide a Large Selective Pool of sRNA Regulators for Pathogenicity." (sRNA = small/microRNA). https://lnkd.in/evpzgrd View in LinkedIn

RARE PLANT STRATEGY. "The use of prey by plants has been thought to usually not be the most economical way for plants to secure nutrients. This appears to be borne out by the relative rarity of the plant carnivorous syndrome, being present in only approximately 0.2% of flowering plant species." Some think this may be an under-estimate. https://lnkd.in/eGcB3qT View in LinkedIn
