suppose we grabbed a molecule and then cut it in half, do this many times so you have a collection of first halfs, and second halfs. Each of these is a species of ribonucleic acid. It may sound sinister but its just tech jargon.
It's not molecular species. The full quote is: "truncated and modified mRNA species present in the finished product". It's specifically truncated and modified mRNA species.
if you are accustomed to reading or in any way communicating with a biochemist, or molecular biologist you will know, that what you have said is not in context of the professsion.

you are wrong, this submission is speaking about molecular species.
also the prion concern is not valid, prions are a specific protien sequence and do not arise out of mRNA sequences of determined function.
