Maybe my wording wasn’t clear. I never implied that everyone is ignoring non coding DNA. My point was that it seems naive or arrogant to label something as “not useful” rather than “use unknown”. It makes it less likely that a larger amount of people will investigate it. I think you should also use some data to back up your point because it’s my understanding that the majority of DNA sequencing ignores non coding DNA and the article makes the same point. You also have no idea what field I work in so I’d suggest perhaps asking before coming to the conclusion without any data.
