Amazon.com blurb:
For many years after choosing the constitution of DNA, scientists concentrated simply on genes, the areas of the genome that include codes for the creation of proteins. different areas that make up ninety eight% of the human genome have been brushed aside as “junk," sequences that serve no function. but lately researchers have came upon diversifications and modulations during this junk DNA that underwrite a few intractable illnesses. this information has resulted in leading edge examine and remedy methods which may eventually regulate those conditions.
Junk DNA can play very important and unanticipated roles within the regulate of gene expression, from fine-tuning person genes to switching off complete chromosomes. Its functionality has compelled scientists to revisit the very which means of the notice “gene" and has engendered a sour conflict over even if this genomic “nonsense" is the resource of human organic complexity. Drawing on her event with prime investigators in Europe and North the United States, Nessa Carey offers a transparent and compelling advent to junk DNA and its serious involvement in phenomena as various as genetic illnesses, viral infections, intercourse decision in mammals, ailment remedies, and evolution. we're purely now unlocking the secrets and techniques of junk DNA, and Carey's booklet is an fundamental source for navigating the codes and controversies of this fast-growing and hotly disputed field.

Sie kann nicht das Eigentumsrecht an dem Gebiet […] oder an einem Teil desselben auf einen anderen [einen Fremden; Hinzufügung der Verfasserin] übertragen. Denn die Gruppe würde dadurch ihre eigene Existenzgrundlage zerstören. Noch weniger hat aber auch ein Mitglied […] das Recht, […] das Gruppengebiet oder Teile desselben zu veräussern. […] weil es nicht der alleinige Besitzer, sondern nur einer der Miteigentümer ist“ (Nippold 1954: 45, 46). 88 Das europäische und angelsächsische Eigentumskonzept,89 dem das des römischen Rechts zugrunde liegt, wie es für Bestandteile der Natur angewendet wird, ist daher nicht kompatibel mit den indigenen Vorstellungen.
