Noncoding RNA (ncRNA) and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) are scientifically invalid terms because they define molecular entities according to properties they do not possess and functions they do not perform. Here, I suggest retiring these two terms. Instead, I suggest using an evolutionary classification of genomic function, in which every RNA molecule is classified as either"functional"or"junk' a...

We compare two statistical methods for identifying spam or junk electronic mail. Spam filters are classifiers which determine whether an email is junk or not. The proliferation of spam email has made electronic filtering vitally important. The magnitude of the problem is discussed. We examine the Naive Bayesian method in relation to the ‘Chi by degrees of Freedom’ approach, the latter used in t...

Several recent reports have challenged the idea that transposable elements (TEs) are mainly 'selfish' or 'junk' DNA with little importance for host evolution. It has been proposed that TEs have the potential to provide host genomes with the ability to enhance their own evolution. They might also be a major source of genetic diversity, allowing response to environmental changes. Because the rela...
