Bad Designs?"Junk" DNA Not so Junky
By Fuz Rana A recent report by researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) provides new evidence that non-coding DNA (typically referred to as “junk” DNA or “selfish” DNA) is not useless. Instead it appears to serve an essential function in complex cells.1 30% Inefficiency by Design
By Fazale R. Rana Cells use a highly wasteful process when producing proteins. Roughly 30 percent of all newly synthesized proteins must be degraded (broken down) by the cell immediately after formation because they are improperly made. A Couple of Tasty Morsels

by Fazale (Fuz) R. Rana, Ph.D. When asked what the study of nature told him about God, the legendary biologist J. B. S. Haldane quipped, "The Creator must have an inordinate fondness for beetles. He made so many of them." Are Pseudogenes Junk?
Posted by Fazale 'Fuz' Rana, Ph.D. Evolutionary biologists regard “junk” DNA as one of the most potent pieces of evidence for biological evolution. Often identical (or nearly identical) segments of junk DNA occur in a wide range of related organisms. Curvaceous Anatomy of the Female Spine Reveals Ingenious Obstetric Design

by Fazale (Fuz) Rana, Ph.D. "It's the closest that a man will ever come to experiencing the pain of childbirth," the attending nurse proclaimed with a noticeable glee in her eyes. Her comment only added to my misery as I writhed in pain on a stretcher in the emergency room, waiting to pass a kidney stone. More on the Nucleoskeletal Hypothesis
