The RNA Family Drama: Neglected Nucleotides
The cellular soap opera continues! Here we have the RNA family drama playing out in spectacular fashion. mRNA is the golden child getting all the attention (especially since those fancy vaccines made it a celebrity), while poor tRNA is literally drowning in neglect. And then there's rRNA, the forgotten skeleton at the bottom of the molecular ocean, completely abandoned despite making up 80% OF THE CELL'S RNA! It's basically the structural backbone of ribosomes but gets ZERO press coverage. This is the molecular biology equivalent of middle child syndrome, but with more nucleotides and existential dread!

What's Your Favorite RNA Type?
The RNA cinematic universe is getting out of hand. First panel shows mRNA getting all the attention while tRNA drowns in neglect—pretty much how it goes in intro biology courses. Then we descend to the forgotten rRNA, sitting like a skeleton in the deep, holding the entire ribosomal structure together while getting zero credit. And finally, we reach the abyss where obscure RNA types lurk in darkness: snRNA splicing away in silence, snoRNA modifying other RNAs without fanfare, and whatever the hell "tracrRNA" is doing in its corner of CRISPR systems. The academic equivalent of "name all the characters in this franchise" but make it molecular biology.
