How much of your genome is composed of non-functional, junk DNA? A new book by biochemist Laurence Moran, titled "What's in Your Genome?" answers this question with a resounding "90%". In this video, I interview Dr. Moran on the history of the junk DNA controversy, the ENCODE consortium, and we discuss the various lines of evidence for the ubiquity of junk DNA.
