Russian research adds a quantum physics perspective

Recently, experimental results by Gariaev et al indicate that some, and perhaps important,
aspects of genetic regulation are mediated at a quantum level. Moreover, in this respect
they suggest that non-coding "Junk DNA" plays a crucial role, see
• "The DNA-wave Biocomputer" (an MS Word document) and
• "Crisis in Life Sciences. The Wave Genetics Response". Excerpt:
"It appears that the languages we were looking for, are, in fact, hidden in the 98%,
"junk" DNA contained in our own genetic apparatus [4]. The basic principle of these
languages is similar to the language of holographic images [5] based on principles of
laser radiations of the genetic structures [6] which operate together as a quasiintelligent
system, as in [3] It particularly important to realize that our genetic
devices actually perform real processes which supplement the triplet model of the
genetic code."


Conclusion
The idea that a major part of our DNA is "garbage" ignored the fact that a key feature of
biological organisms is optimal energy expenditure. To carry enormous amounts of
unnecessary molecules is contrary to this fundamental energy saving feature of biological
organisms. Increasing evidence is now indicating many important functions of this DNA,
including various regulatory roles.
This means that this so-called non-coding DNA influences the behavior of the genes, the
"coding DNA", in important ways. Still there is very little knowledge about the relationship
between non-coding DNA and the DNA of genes.
This adds to other factors making it impossible to foresee and control the effect of
artificial insertion of foreign genes.
