Junk DNA: A Journey Through the Dark Matter of the GenomeFor decades after the identification of the structure of DNA, scientists focused only on genes, the regions of the genome that contain codes for the production of proteins. Other regions that make up 98 percent of the human genome were dismissed as "junk," sequences that serve no purpose. But researchers have recently discovered variations and modulations in this junk DNA that are involved with a number of intractable diseases. Our increasing
For decades after the identification of the structure of DNA, scientists focused only on genes, the regions of the genome that contain codes for the production of proteins. Other regions that make up 98 percent of the human genome were dismissed as "junk," sequences that serve no purpose. But researchers have recently discovered variations and modulations in this junk DNA that are involved with a number of intractable diseases. Our increasing knowledge of junk DNA has led to innovative research and treatment approaches that may finally ameliorate some of these conditions. Junk DNA can play vital and unanticipated roles in the control of gene expression, from fine-tuning individual genes to switching off entire chromosomes. These functions have forced scientists to revisit the very meaning of the word "gene" and have engendered a spirited scientific battle over whether or not this genomic "nonsense" is the source of human biological complexity. Drawing on her experience with leading scientific investigators in Europe and North America, Nessa Carey provides a clear and compelling introduction to junk DNA and its critical involvement in phenomena as diverse as genetic diseases, viral infections, sex determination in mammals, and evolution. We are only now unlocking the secrets of junk DNA, and Nessa Carey's book is an essential resource for navigating the history and controversies of this fast-growing, hotly disputed field.Binding Type: Paperback

I am pleased. I like this shirt!
Color: All Black, Size: Medium
I put this shirt on right away. It's breathable, lightweight, stretchy, and well-made. I bought the black one, and the fit is perfect, even though it's polyester. I usually prefer natural fibers, but I love the design and the reduced price, so I bought one. The mock turtleneck is comfortably fitted and comfortable around the neck. The short sleeve cuffs hug the biceps nicely. There may be some negative reviews, but not from me. I just bought another one in navy blue, medium. I tried on the shirt with a sports jacket, a bomber, and three different lightweight zip-up jackets, and it goes well with all of them.
I still prefer natural fibers, but I also like the Coofandy brand. I have purchased their shirts made of natural fibers as well. The quality is consistent. I ordered and received another shirt in blue. It's a different kind of knit, but fits like a glove. Soft and stretchy, sleeves fit my biceps, and the color hugs the neck close and gently. These shirts are the best!

Great mock turtleneck sweater at an even greater price!
Color: All Black, Size: X-Large
The short sleeve mock turtleneck sweater is made of a comfortable, quality material and looks good. I’m 6’3” and 240 lbs and the XL was a perfect fit. The price point is excellent and I have had great experience with other purchases from Coofandy so I would highly recommend this item.
