Mysterious junk DNA

[Jochen Fromm-5]

Have you seen http://www.nature.com/encode
and this recent NYTimes.com article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/06/science/far-from-junk-dna-dark-matter-proves-crucial-to-health.html

It is about the Encyclopededia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project, see also
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v489/n7414/full/489052a.html

Looks like the mysterious junk DNA is not junk at all and switches on
genes in a complex and redundant hierarchy.
