Abstract
The concept of a hidden coding in junk DNA that separates complex organisms from prokaryotes is discussed. The large portion of junk DNA of eukaryotes seems irrelevant to the production of proteins. But new evidence suggests that it may encode RNA molecules that perform variety of regulatory functions. The theory could explain why the structural and developmental complexity of organisms does not parallel their number of protein-coding genes. It also carrier important implications for future gene-based medicine and pharmaceuticals.
