When I first heard about junk DNA, or introns, I remember thinking that for sure it or they were good for something, we just hadn’t figured it out yet.
Junk DNA?

One of the science mags this week offered a probably route to understanding “junk” DNA. It seems likely that NONE of it is junk. I’ll track down the article if you’re interested…it has to do with micro-RNA.
I’ll see it when I go to Victoria at the end of the month.
I’ll put it on the Allegra shelf.
I’m thinking of bringing Margot. It’s insane, I know, but I’m thinking about it. She’s not a great traveller but she adjusts to anything very fast once she’s out of the car.
I hope the furrball will be staying in your car whilst she is on the island. In the house she is liable to be vacuumed up, being mistaken for a medium sized dust bunny.
I was actually planning on leaving her outside – the backyard is fenced and she’s used to staying out all night now. If she’s inside I’ll be following her around with a lint brush.
Absolutely bring Margo! Inside or outside. But I think inside, at night at least. There are boogeymen in the forest.
It may not be until the Unca Dave fest at this rate.
