Несколько десятилетий назад определение нуклеотидной последовательности ДНК организма было почти невыполнимой задачей. Сегодня же секвенирование ДНК стало для специалистов чуть ли не рутинной работой – и тщательное изучение геномов принесло множество сюрпризов. Например, ученые обнаружили в генетическом материале ядерных организмов до 98 % молчащей, не кодирующей белки ДНК. Какие тайны скрываются в этих участках? View all
