NON-CODING DNA. “Although there is some roughly similar correlation in the number of protein coding sequences, most differences in genome size reflect transposable elements and noncoding intergenic spacers. Accepting (for argument only) that this material is regulatory in nature, we might still ask whether its possession is an evolutionary advancement, enabling greater phenotypic complexity.”
