TWO TRACK SYSTEM. “Viral-derived fossil genes, mostly non-functional, have contributed significantly to the vast universe of genes controlling non-coding RNAs, the parallel universe to the coding genes that have obsessed geneticists for decades. The parallel universe (noncoding) is virally-driven, fast evolving, more flexible, and may turn out to control many cellular functions.”
