To all my biohomies...

[kickaha]

I am aswim in ncRNA, miRNA, snoRNA, transposons, introns, exons, and transgenic events. I know now the beauty of ultra-conserved sequences (and how they kept robust against intron invasion), and deny the junk-DNA orthodoxy.

I also see precisely how my research fits into all of it.

Yeah, it was a good afternoon. :)

What?

Dude.

Cool.

Rock.

Of course, some of that stuff is in the far, far hard-core structural molecular bio that I dodged back in grad school.

Why think small?

Just analyze the universe as a whole and be done with it already. I want to know the answer. I'm not buying that whole '42' dodge.

I'm considering a postdoc position that involves micro RNA and I've been trying to read up about various nontranslated RNAs, so we should talk. I've been thinking that retroposable DNA element propagation has a special relationship with the male germline although it may differ depending on which family of DNA elements one is talking about. Approaches like you used in your graduate work could link the structure of a regulatory network and potential purposes of network components. What aspect of RNA regulation are you thinking about?
