Being twice as high in men as in women, GC is the third leading cause of cancer mortality in both sexes globally. Being labeled as ‘junk DNA’, pseudogenes were considered as nonfunctional ‘trash’, which contribute...

Examination of the mutation spectra and rates in genes and junk reveals what DNA repair mechanisms are available...

... by assuming: 1) their “excess” DNA is “junk” DNA; 2) the “adult” specifying portion of the DNA becomes junk DNA and is available for repeated duplication. This suggests a “new” junk DNA molecular clock. We obtain remarkable agreement in “predicting” the amount of DNA per nucleus in present day non-obligate...
