Genetics experts stopped calling the non-coding regions 'junk' some time
ago. They might say something like 'what used to be called junk
DNA'. I have been wondering whether certain aspects of the information
that defines an organism is not contained in the DNA, but instead
certain specific regions of the DNA are able to 'tune into' information
from previous generations of the organism which have similar sequences.

Why choose to call something unknown as junk instead of just admitting that it is not
understood? Reminds me of the old theory about the amount of one's brain that is being
used. I just wish people would lay out the facts that they know and not judge the
unknowns. I guess some would call LENR junk physics!
