There are ~80 genes in the C elegans genome coding for miRNAs that are twenty-one to twenty-four nucleotides long.

Nucleotide sequences of 71 TA systems from each genome were concatenated in ‘supersequence’ (supergene), and the resulting 173 long supersequences were aligned with each other using Clustal W ver. 2.1.

He took a few cautious steps toward the cave.

Until that moment, it had not really occurred to me — or my mothers, even though one is an ObGyn — that I might have half siblings out there.
