cell nucleus – Uncommon Descent

'Junk DNA' Cell biology Intelligent Design

CalTech researchers map spatial organization of the (“junk”) DNA and RNA in the cell nucleus

At ENST: Now, the windows are opening on [nucleus] organization so all-encompassing for all those non-coding RNA transcripts, it is truly mind-boggling what goes on in the nucleus of a cell.
