This thing proves one thing. There is no junk DNA. The thing that makes some parts of the DNA "junk" is that the cells don't very often read that part of the DNA. And that means there must be something that is not needed very often. Things like neurons would not renew very often. And that means the DNA parts that are controlling the development of that kinds of cells and neural structures don't require that those parts of the DNA are not needed very often.
DNA involves many interesting things like sequences that are programming species and avoiding certain species like snakes. Those heritable phobias are making some researchers think that things. Like information about the outfit of the dinosaurs can be stored in the DNA. That information could drift through the species and history. And maybe someday we can find out what dinosaurs look like if that data is stored in the DNA.
Because researchers found the DNA sequences. That are controlling things like the development of the brain structures. That gives a possibility to control the intelligence level of the individuals across the borders of species. This thing makes it possible to create intelligent pets. The dogs and cats are making complicated things for their masters. But there are always problems with this kind of research.
Intelligent species are more complicated to control than so-called dummy species. That means the higher intelligence level causes a scenario that Orwell's novel Animal Farm turns true. The ability to think means the ability to rebel. If a pet is intelligent that thing requires strict rules on how to treat that pet. Of course, regular pets require well treatment.
But intelligent species require that thing more than anything else. If the intelligence level of the pet is high enough we must call that thing a family member. Human rights are basing the intelligence level of humans. And if we are creating a new species that are more intelligent than their ancestors.
That means we must re-estimate human rights. The ability to control things like the intelligence level of another species gives ultimate change. But it also gives ultimate responsibility. If we are making some kind of research, we must realize that genetics is not a game. We can make new creatures but we must remember that evolution has created the need to defend itself for all creatures.
If we are transforming the DNA of the species the result will not be the same species that it was before genetic engineering. The species that we see might look the same but it is not the same. This is why we must think about things like cloning dinosaurs very carefully. If we accidentally create things like intelligent T-rex, we are in really big trouble. Or at least some people are in big trouble.
