Tags: authorship

I am not the author of "Polymorphism of canonical and noncanonical gypsy sequences in different species of Drosophila melanogaster subgroup: possible evolutionary relations."

I know I seem like the type to be in there with my tweezers figuring out a fruit fly's genetic code, but sadly I am not. The genetic authorship can pretty much be attributed to one Natalia V Lyubomirskaya and one Yuriy V Ilyin. Somehow, not all web crawlers can see the difference between those two names and mine. If one more person emails me wondering about my views on whether mobile genetic elements constitute a substantial part of the eukaryotic genome I am going to go out and kick a dog.

    Just close your eyes and dreamily recite the following mantra: Tiny little motorcycles on a spiral racetrack trying to outrace the mysterious antediluvian over-abundance of non-coded DNA.

    They will hang up, true, but they will hang up satisfied.
