	<title>Yale Researchers Find New RNA Structures</title>

	<htmltext>Science Daily is reporting that researchers from Yale have discovered "<a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091202131618.htm">very large RNA structures</a> within previously unstudied bacteria that appear crucial to basic biological functions such as helping viruses infect cells or allowing genes to 'jump' to different parts of the chromosome."  Ronald Breaker, professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at Yale, stated that this would be equivalent to protein scientists finding a whole new class of enzymes.  <i>"The Breaker laboratory has used the explosion of DNA sequence information and new computer programs to discover six of the top twelve largest bacterial RNAs just in the last several years. One of the newly discovered RNAs, called GOLLD, is the third largest and most complex RNA discovered to date, and appears to be used by viruses that infect bacteria. Another large RNA revealed in the study, called HEARO, has a genetic structure that suggests it is part of a type of 'jumping gene' that can move to new locations in the bacterial chromosome."</i></htmltext>

	<htmltext>Here, let me help. <a href="http://pubs.acs.org/cen/aha!/8213breakerfree.html" title="acs.org">This brief blurb</a> [acs.org] discusses Dr. Breaker's research history a bit better and shows where this current research stems from.  He is a proponent of the <a href="http://www.rockefeller.edu/evolution/" title="rockefeller.edu">"RNA World"</a> [rockefeller.edu] hypothesis and actually has done some seminal research in the field.<br> <br>
Back to the car.... Hmmm.... OK - the RNA World hypothesis states that the first nucleic acid (the chemical responsible to for transmitting genetic information) was RNA.  Breaker's hypothesis is that if that is the case, one should find RNA-based control structures somewhere since they are ancestral and nature loves to preserve ancestral things (don't recreate the wheel very often and if you do, keep a copy of the old wheel stashed somewhere).<br> <br>
He did find evidence of this in the coenzyme that helps vitamin B12 activity (see the previous link).  So, perhaps these new RNA molecules have some sort of control function.  <br> <br>
So, it's like finding a whole class of levers and rods that allow your car to do things when you were expecting that buttons and switches did all of the work.<br> <br>

Buck niggers and hoe niggers can be safely accommodated in the same cage, as bucks never attempt sex with black hoes.FEEDING YOUR NIGGER.Your Nigger likes fried chicken, corn bread, and watermelon.
You should therefore give it none of these things because its lazy ass almost certainly doesn't deserve it.
Instead, feed it on porridge with salt, and creek water.
Your nigger will supplement its diet with whatever it finds in the fields, other niggers, etc.
Experienced nigger owners sometimes push watermelon slices through the bars of the nigger cage at the end of the day as a treat, but only if all niggers have worked well and nothing has been stolen that day.
Mike of the Old Ranch Plantation reports that this last one is a killer, since all niggers steal something almost every single day of their lives.
He reports he doesn't have to spend much on free watermelon for his niggers as a result.
You should never allow your nigger meal breaks while at work, since if it stops work for more than ten minutes it will need to be retrained.
You would be surprised how long it takes to teach a nigger to pick cotton.
You really would.
Coffee beans?
Don't ask.
You have no idea.MAKING YOUR NIGGER WORK.Niggers are very, very averse to work of any kind.
The nigger's most</sentencetext>
