TUF love for "junk" DNA

Cell. 2006 Jun 30;125(7):1215-20. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2006.06.009.

Abstract

The widespread occurrence of noncoding (nc) RNAs--unannotated eukaryotic transcripts with reduced protein coding potential--suggests that they are functionally important. Study of ncRNAs is increasing our understanding of the organization and regulation of genomes.
