Junk DNA selected as Scientific American 'recommended read' 23 Feb 2015
There’s a great review for Nessa Carey’s Junk DNA: A Journey through the Dark Matter of the Genome in the Scientific American, which picks the book as a ‘recommended read’.
‘In chronicling what we know and what we wonder about junk DNA, biologist Carey makes an apt comparison to dark matter. Just as the universe appears to contain mass that we cannot see or understand and yet nonetheless exerts a pull on normal matter, the mysterious parts of our genome have a vital effect on the workings of more straightforward elements of DNA. In fact, far from being useless, genetic rubbish may be what differentiates humans from less advanced species.’
