There is it is, the term "Junk DNA" can now finally go in the bin as the ENCODE project clearly identifies that almost all the genome locations that are non-coding are active on the regulatory level. This massive amount of data (published not only in the main paper but also in several accompany papers and a ENCODE app!) increase our knowledge of the Human genome and molecular mechanisms in general.
Exciting to work in the lab of the main leading PI of this project and to see so many familiar names on all these papers. Congrats to all!
