Peer-Reviewed Paper Reviews Ten “Anomalies” that Contradict the Junk DNA Paradigm
John Mattick uses the language of historian of science Thomas Kuhn to predict that we are witnessing a “paradigm shift” away from the concept of junk DNA.
Newly Published Paper in BioEssays Recognizes Kuhnian “Paradigm Shift” Against Junk DNA
A new theory “emerges first in the mind of one or a few individuals” but then it spreads because the field faces “crisis-provoking problems.”
Evolutionist Claims ChatGPT “Lies About Junk DNA”
A null hypothesis, such as expecting the absence of function in non-coding DNA, reveals a presupposition that biases one’s interpretation of the evidence.
Noncoding RNA Research Gaining Ground Over “Junk” Label
Perhaps it won’t be long before everyone, critics included, looks at the “junk DNA” concept in the rear-view mirror.
