March 2024 Webinar- The dark matter in our genome
The information content of the human genome has been misunderstood since the dawn of molecular biology, because of the assumption that genes are synonymous with proteins and that the mechanisms that control human development are limited to those that regulate microbial physiology. Only ~2% of our genome encodes proteins, the rest thought to be mainly evolutionary junk, but that is not so.
