Computer programs require both code and space for variables and also require 'defines' that don't show up as actual variables or actual code but tell both code and variables what their working values need to be.
Or maybe to put it in another way, in terms of usefulness, is that the 'junk DNA' holds the same significance as the programming header files do. Maybe we should be calling those data sequences of DNA as 'junk.h'.
I venture to say that maybe only 0.1% of the stuff we call 'Junk DNA' (or even none of it) is irrelevant.
