Garbage DNA. Travel to the black matter of the genome

Having decrypted the genetic code, scientists have found that only 2% DNA carry information about proteins. But why then are the remaining 98% are needed? At first, geneticists decided that it was garbage, trash. However, more recently, it became clear - everything is much more complicated, and it is these "garbage" areas of DNA that determine the complexity of the human body, its possible diseases, and even the rate of aging! Here are the keys to understanding the evolution and the essence of life itself.
Today, many scientists in various laboratories in the world are trying to penetrate the secrets of the garbage DNA, this dark matter of our genome. About their latest results - in the fascinating book of the English geneticist Nessa Carey
