For decades after identifying 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% of the human genome were dismissed as "junk," sequences that serve no purpose. Yet recently researchers have discovered variations and modulations in this junk DNA that underwrite a number of intractable diseases. This knowledge has led to innovative research and treatment approaches that may finally control 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. Its function has forced scientists to revisit the very meaning of the word "gene" and has engendered a bitter battle over whether or not this genomic "nonsense" is the source of human biological complexity. Drawing on her experience with leading 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, disease treatments, and evolution. We are only now unlocking the secrets of junk DNA, and Carey's book is an indispensable resource for navigating the codes and controversies of this fast-growing and hotly disputed field.

很具有科普性質的一本書，Nesaa Carey用瞭很多簡單易懂的例子來闡述，即便不是生物專業的人也能讀懂。
评分通俗易懂的介紹瞭非編碼基因的研究曆史，功能，病例，以及醫藥公司開發針對不同基因錶達的藥物的難度。感覺很受用，作者語言幽默，舉例接地氣，很容易讀下去。推薦。

评分對於人類還是不完全清楚的領域，這種科普書籍的確難寫。專業的讀者讀覺得太淺顯，非專業的讀者又有可能完全看不懂。我的感受是，“存在即閤理”，我們現有的科學探索能力把non-codingDNA為Junk，但是所有事物不都是：風光的（顯著錶達）就那麼1-2%，其他的都是作為係統，提供平颱滋養“精英”的嗎？
