Previously dismissed as comprising non-functional ‘junk’ DNA, a growing body of early prediction models and recent studies reveals their extensive biological roles in stress responses, gene expression, housekeeping functions, signal pathways, antimicrobial activities, and photosynthesis, particularly in microorganisms.
