The new genome sequence revealed that many of those RNAs are regulatory molecules known as noncoding RNAs. ❋ Science News (2010)
He claims that some highly conserved noncoding elements in animals contradict evolution. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The genomes of vertebrates, flies, and nematodes contain highly conserved noncoding elements (CNEs). ❋ Unknown (2009)
A knowledge of mutation rates in noncoding freely evolving DNA and the sequences of chimps and humans should be enough. ❋ Unknown (2010)
This instance involved a mechanism or pathway that seems difficult to some, namely the random appearance of an open reading frame in an otherwise noncoding segment of DNA via judicious appearance of translation start and stop codons. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Of course, the uncomfortable part of their position is that some noncoding DNA unarguably *IS* junk, like broken genes and viral insertions. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The matches represent more than 5.5% of all the conserved noncoding sequence, he and his colleagues reported online 23 April in the Proceedings of the ❋ Unknown (2008)

The filtering step removes SNPs already cataloged in the database (and thus considered too common to be the root cause of a rare genetic disorder), those found in HapMap individuals, and SNPs in noncoding (junk) DNA. ❋ Kevin Davies (2010)
Eukaryotic noncoding DNA sequences provide genes with an additional protection against chemical mutagens. ❋ Unknown (2007)
I have a wager for you: let's find a noncoding region of the human genome with at least 50 tandem repeats. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Do you mean that noncoding DNA uniformly has function? ❋ Unknown (2007)
It is much more likely that noncoding regions have functions that we simply haven't discovered yet. ❋ Unknown (2007)
A. Ovchinnikov Institute of Bio-organic Chemistry and the G.K. Skriabin Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of Microorganisms, Russian Academy of Sciences, one of previously unknown functions of noncoding sections lies in protection from mutations of the genes and regulatory areas of genome needed to the organism. ❋ Unknown (2007)
In these posts awhile back, PTer Art Hunt explained that T-urf13 is an example of not just a new gene evolving from noncoding DNA – but it appears to be an example of an oligomeric protein complex, with the function of being a regulated ion channel, evolving from noncoding DNA. ❋ Unknown (2009)
So my final question is, if you are correct that ID scholars uniformly predicted that most-to-all of "junk" DNA (which should never be conflated with "agenic" DNA or "noncoding" DNA by anyone striving to inform) would be functional, why didn't they put together the experiments themselves using money from the DI or some rich evangelical donor? ❋ Unknown (2007)
