    We were aware that the cell was a seething mass of RNA back when I was learning about it in the 1970s, we just had limited knowledge of what it was doing.

    Well, duh. It was seething.

    What does junk RNA do?
    Perhaps they function as spacers. Shape may make an important difference.

    My daughter is having fun/stress with brain organoids, studying a bunch of long, non coding RNA.

    Huh, in my AP Biology in high school (late 90s) I learned the 60’s view with some smattering of the 80’s view…

    Learned something new! (Completely unsurprising if I, as a non-biologist, read a blog by a biologist…)
