And so we're going to predict that those non-coding regions perform very important functions that have yet to be discovered.
And 2011, the ENCODE project comes out.
One of the early scientists working on this first was a man named Richard Sternberg, who was in the early 2000s predicting function for non-coding regions and was starting to find it.
But then this massive federally funded project called the ENCODE project published 2011.
And it turns out that at least 85% of the non-coding regions are being transcribed, ergo doing something.
And we now know that the non-coding regions of the genome are not only importantly functional, they're functioning much like an operating system in a computer program that's controlling the timing and regulate, that's regulating, controlling the timing and expression of the
excuse me, of the coding files.
So there's a deep functional integration of the function in the non-coding and the coding.
And it means this is a really an awesome system.
I started to tell about the three big things we found in life that are obvious indicators of design.
One is the presence of digital code.
The second is an intricate information processing system.
And the non-coding regions are part of that.
And the third is the miniature machines that we're finding.
Explain the miniature machines.
Well, this is kind of an awesome thing.
Anyone who sees this has to say, wait a minute, wait a minute.
I've seen this.
It's mind-blowing stuff.
We have a whole β
