"Junk DNA" a myth

Full article here: http://english.ruvr.ru/2012_09_10/Junk-DNA-is-a-myth/

...

there were people who thought that all that must be junk. Others thought that this is probably a bit too far-fetched. And today we’ve got kind of big definite proof that the majority of the DNA is actually not junk.

Does this mean that we can junk the term “Junk DNA” now forever?

Probably, I think things that are retained by revolution are usually not junk, at least largely. The majority of it would be serving some kind of function and, indeed, that’s what we see at the moment.

Although Charlotte is bona fide attention seeking drama queen the troll deserved to lose her job for her sheer stupidity in disclosing her real life personal details.

But Charlotte broke her privacy by finding out her home address and phone number and bosses' phone number.

And the nasty 'hang yourself' comment was apparently not even directed at Charolotte (although knowing the story behind it makes that particular comment even nastier)

The thing is the media made it out like that was aimed t Charlotte

 

[eliza]

Regardless of who it was aimed at, what sort of human writes that sort of sh*t.
