“This discovery, involving what was previously referred to as “junk”, opens up a new level of gene expression control that could also play a role in the development of many other tissue types,” Rasko says. “Our observations were quite surprising and they open entirely new avenues for potential treatments in diverse diseases including cancers and leukaemias.”

I do not understand why the whole junk DNA is not really junk has been touted as groundbreaking for the last 12 or so years. It is not groundbreaking!
