The RNA sequence can be unmasked and "read" by reverse transcriptase (or in some cases, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase) resulting in genomic imprinting of changes that accumulate in RNA molecules.
Years later, when some of the other works appeared on the market, the seller was unmasked as Robert M. Mardirosian, a retired lawyer from Massachusetts who had once represented the thief and came into possession of the paintings when the thief was killed in 1979.
Or maybe, as Amy says, "some of the intimacy of a running club comes from seeing each other unmasked, in a way, in bare clothing, sweaty and gross, at good times and bad".
