Welcome to Junk RNA Research Laboratory

Around 95% of the human genome has been named as "junk DNA". But nature is wise (usually) and this would mean a waste of energy and resources in order to maintain such an ammount of junk...

This concept has changed during the last decades and non coding RNA interest rocketed. Although we mainly work in microRNAs, in the Junk RNA Lab we are interested in all that relates to non coding RNAs. We would like this blog to be a way of communicating and exchanging ideas with other labs, as we think science is built by a community and that two brains always work better than one.
Please feel free to post your comments and suggest whatever you think about this blog, microRNAs, non coding RNAs or science. We hope you like it and find it interesting and useful.
Many thanks for visiting our blog!!

  1. Hello! I have read your posts and I hope the blog is operative as soon as possible because I would like to learn more and have more knowledges about junk RNA.

    I have understood that this Junk RNA had no interest because some kind of prejudices in the past.

    I cannot understand how people supposed to be open minded can think such that way. But suppose that this could be another episode in Science as the Galileo one about the centre of Solar System.

    Thank you for your mentality!

  2. Thanks very much,
    we also think science has to be open minded and that this field of research is so broad that we shouldn´t constrict it with prejudices.Mad hypothesis build great science many times
    Thanks for your comment!
