(3) by failing to appreciate the crucial difference between “junk DNA” and “garbage DNA,” (4) by using analytical methods that yield biased errors and inflate estimates of functionality, (5) by favoring statistical sensitivity over specificity, and (6) by emphasizing statistical significance rather than the magnitude of the effect. Here, we detail the many logical and methodological transgressions involved
Bits of Mystery DNA, Far From ‘Junk,’ Play Crucial Role Published on September 5th 2012, was a misrepresentation of what was really going on in the media. Bill more or less gets right into an accusation that too much money is being spent on something thats not producing sufficient results. That the group of more than 400 (I am sure there are plenty of molecular biologist looking at this now) scientists who have made their careers in science are "salivating" over new funds. Are all of these writers virtually protesting further science in human potential like, Bill Frezza? Suggesting a deeper look or a third party management plan of some of the scientific processes going on is one thing, but this sounds like, turning down "$400 million" in human biological testing, at a time when we are buying up all the ammunition to... further our human life? I am seeing to many slashes and moves to discredit Encode than I can find they deserve. Most of the science I have been looking at regarding this stuff is pretty well founded, solid-sounding, and scientific. I have been looking at so many slash pieces that it just seems off. We hear so much about disinformation in medical sciences already but who is calling anything out?
I mean is there really anything more important than this to humans?
One gram of DNA can hold 700 TB of computer data right now, with a 99% error free test result. Many feel that by unlocking the secrets of this long known Junk DNA we can cure diseases and live forever It starts to give light to the possibility of resurrection.
Let's not forget this research challenges the old time Godfathers of the big pharmaceutical industry and insurance industries. Is this where Junk DNA and the new 2012 wave of "Re-Junk DNA" is coming from? The bashing doesn't makes sense when you look at clear honest scientific statements on the other side of the fence such as from nature.com, "On the 60th anniversary of the double helix, we should admit that we don't fully understand how evolution works at the molecular level," says Encode Contributor Philip Ball.
Let's get the focus back onto the possibilities and real DNA investigation. I think what the new Encode research papers are really calling for is a whole bunch more funding. These new tests suggest that there is activity that corresponds with human behavior at the molecular level, that actually changes more "stationary-like" genome existences in a long term manner. More simply put and combines with the storage ability discussed above; this could mean that committing sin as well as acts of righteousness and everything in between are recorded in a new form of storage, quite possibly in some form of real genetic existence that creates reactions.
The DNA science world still says that the majority of DNA matter is yet to be fully understood. I guess we better get on it then!
I certainly cast my vote for lets do as much scientific research regarding 100% of DNA matter as possible and in so not to cut one thing out of the petri dish at the starting line.
