This is exactly the trend we're seeing at Videology.
This trend exactly coincided with the change of pull-out strength with time of exposure (Fig. 6a).
The predicted mitochondrial tRNA structures of A. viteae followed this trend exactly, as did most of the tRNAs from the other examined species.
While channelling Lady Gaga, Katy Perry or Lily Allen (all of whom have sported twists on the no-trouser style) is not exactly a good thing, perhaps this trend might make life easier.
