The new analysis suggests that a large family of such RNA genes may exist, a point confirmed by a Japanese team under Dr. Yoshihide Hayashizaki of the Riken Genomic Sciences in Yokohama.

He was the first Chairman of the newly-created Department of Human Genetics in 1993, which was renamed the Department of Genetics & Genomic Sciences in 2006.
He is currently Professor of Pediatrics, Oncological Sciences, Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science, Gene and Cell Medicine and Professor and Chair of Genetics & Genomic Sciences.
"It appears that in many cases recurrent disease stems not from re-infection as was previously thought and which forms the basis for conventional treatment, but from a persistent biofilm," says researcher Garth Ehrlich, PhD, executive director of the Allegheny-Singer Research Institute's Center for the Genomic Sciences, in a news release.
Church does research on synthetic (artificial) biology and is director of the U.S. Department of Energy Center on Bioenergy at Harvard & MIT, and Director of the National Institutes of Health Center of Excellence in Genomic Science at Harvard.
It said that the increased number of projects with external funding, especially for Biotechnology, Information Technology and Environment, stressing also the 06 searches with patent registration, on behalf of the UBEC, the INPI, the Program of Genomic Sciences and Biotechnology.
