Noncoding DNA and the teem theory of inheritance, emotions and innate behaviour.

Medical hypotheses - 1 Jan 2005

Vendramini Danny

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary function of noncoding 'junk' DNA remains one of the most challenging mysteries of genetics. Here a new model of DNA is proposed to explain this function. The hypothesis asserts the DNA molecule contains not one, but two separate modes of inheritance. In addition to exons that code for proteins and physical traits, it is argued noncoding repetitive elements code for the inheritance of emotions and...
