Re: UCSD Study Shows 'Junk' DNA Has Evolutionary Importance
Agreed. Nature tends to do away with anything that can be seen as a mis-use of resources, and I know that the elements that make up DNA are not "cheap" at all locations. A bacteria that used a large amount of an element to carry the map would be out-competed by those that removed the "junk" RNA, so "junk" cannot truely be junk.
Even if it is a place marker, or a spacer, it still has a use.

There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand evolution is fact, and those who have yet to remove their heads...
