[QUOTE="Eagle9, post: 6046158, member: 216581"] Good day! :oldsmile: I have read this interesting blog: [URL]https://thehumanevolutionblog.com/2015/08/03/junk-dna-a-journey-through-the-dark-matter-of-the-genome/[/URL] There is explained what are introns (of course I knew the meaning of this term but I intentionally copied the following explanation from this blog): Image from Wikipedia: [ATTACH=full]229813[/ATTACH] So, introns are part of mRNA, or gene(s) itself located in DNA, this is clear. The genes make up only 2-3 % of the whole DNA, so introns (or their predecessors) are located [B]in this[/B] 2-3 %, right? But this blog has got such image: [ATTACH=full]229814[/ATTACH] What do they mean? 26 % of whole genome belongs to the introns that (if I understood correctly) are part of 2-3 % of the same whole genome? Or maybe I misunderstood something? :oldeyes: [/QUOTE]
