JUNK DNA, REPEATS, TRANSPOSONS AND VIRAL ELEMENTS. “Over evolutionary time, viruses actively exchange genetic material with their host cells. However, just because a non-coding RNA expressed by a virus exhibits hallmarks of a known class of host cell non-coding RNAs does not mean that it necessarily functions comparably. Viruses are extremely clever at altering the bits of host cell genome that they acquire to meet their own needs.” https://lnkd.in/dD7FjZ4 View in LinkedIn
