Analysis of eukaryotic transcriptomes is done using BLAST validated mRNAs from Genbank. Each mRNA transcript is traversed with a simple ORF finder with three frame passes on forward reads and three frame passes on reverse compliment reads. In doing so we arrive at an encoding overlap-topology analysis of eukaryotic nucleic acid (transcriptome) sequences that parallels a previous analysis of prokaryotic nucleic acid (dsDNA genome) sequence (summarized in the Supplement). A reverse frame pass for the prokaryotic genome was necessary because the sequence information is only the reference ssDNA strand, requiring a second three-way frame pass for the reverse compliment ssDNA that completes the actual dsDNA prokaryotic genome. When the reverse frame pass is also done for the eukaryotic transcripts there is seen an overlap encoding topology like that seen in the intron-less prokaryotic genome. Even if the antisense overlap encoding in the eukaryotic transcripts is entirely non-functional, it indicates an intron-less archaeon/prokaryotic evolutionary artifact consistent with the viral eukaryogenesis hypothesis (summarized in the Supplement). In the Discussion, some of the eukaryotic reverse complement transcript encodings are thought to be functional given their lengthy miRNA signaling regions, suggesting a possible non-RNAi role for RNA-dependent RNA polymerase in eukaryotes.
