Well, the science threads wouldn't be dying if they all referred to cleavage.

Cleavage of Scarecrow-like mRNA targets...

Scarecrow cleavage -- better than nothing, I guess.....

Science threads die because a bunch of ignorant religious zealots turn it in to some sort of proselyization for their evolutionist religion.

It turns interesting threads in to boring beat-a-dead-horse threads.

Also, how much is there to say? These miRNA's are great findings and indicate a new way to regulate gene expression. It is a fine tuning of the system and the extent of it is still hardly known.

In this system, it is quite interesting that the genes they are regulating by cleavage are themselves transcription factors -- ie they themselves are genes that regulate gene expression.

It's a quick way to turn off the genes regulated by scarecrows.
