"Junk" DNA consists of very simple, often repeated sequences of the genetic code and is not involved in the coding of proteins. Until recently, scientists believed that non-coding DNA served no real purpose. Moreover, it was believed that the repetitive nature of its genetic code makes the cell's genome less stable and more susceptible to damage or disease. Now it is clear that “junk DNA” is an incorrect name, but as far as its immediate function is concerned, consensus has not been reached.
