Transcription Quotes
With these other events, there's a commodity of some sort. We're running a Web site as well, so we would like to drive traffic there. Our feeling is, particularly in terms of a press conference, everybody is welcome to cover it, but if you want to see the full-blown transcription or if you want to watch the whole thing, then our site ought to be the place to find that.

The striking evolutionary conservation of ratchetting points
suggests that recursive splicing provides specific advantages for large
introns... One possibility is that recursive splicing
prevents the generation of long RNA transcripts that could form
structures that interfere with correct processing into mRNA. Another is
that recursive splicing might help stimulate transcription through long
introns by promoting interactions between the splicing and
transcription machineries. We also know already that recursive splicing
is used to control the removal of certain exons from mRNAs, generating
structural and functional variation among the gene products. - Javier Lopez
