PIP in July said

Pip in a July response said,
But, now that I think more about it, those few sequences that do

exhibit function are probably all sequences with a fixed secondary

structure. That is, they are the sequences that you would consider

fairly stable. So maybe there is some truth to what you are

suggesting.

This almost suggests building on a theme. The basic
most thermally stable sequence RNA would probably repeat itself
with variations. Thus you have the same structure of this basic sequence
with variations to that theme. All that from
chemical or sun selection for stability.

Comment?
