Junk DNA has already been studied before whole-genome sequencing existed, and evidence from NGS not only hasn’t overturned that research, it has largely corroborated it. And as for personal biases, I’m a staunch defender of the ENCODE research so I’m certainly not biased in favour of the concept of junk DNA.
- dkoston 7y agoInteresting. I may be biased in the other direction after reading "The Epigenetics Revolution" and "Junk DNA" by Nessa Carey. ENCODE is such an amazing project! Also, thanks for your research on non coding DNA.
