“When scientists sequenced the human genome a decade ago, it was somewhat like looking at a blueprint in a foreign language - everything was marked in its proper location, but no one could tell what it all meant.”
Dark Dna: The Missing Matter At The Heart Of Nature
www.newscientist.com/article/...
“The discovery that some animals thrive despite hugely mutated DNA hidden in their genome is forcing us to rethink some basics of evolution.”
‘Dark Matter’ Dna Influences Brain Development
www.nature.com/articles/d4158...
“A puzzle posed by segments of 'dark matter' in genomes - long, winding strands of DNA with no obvious functions - has teased scientists for more than a decade. Now, a team has finally solved the riddle.”

"We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep." Shakespeare, The Tempest
Hey..
Boooooooooooo!
@@daysnottime999 hey
why did u say that?
So we are thoughts and ideas rounded with sleep?
Scientists brilliant flair for naming things strike again -.-
Don't worry. I work in this field and this us the first time I heard this nomenclature. This is just the media taking a poor level paper for a ride.
一三Gnefitisis oh good :3
Also, keep up the good work :)
The proper name should have been something like "Dark Genome", because it's the operation of the genome software system that's mostly unknown, not the DNA memory system hardware. ;)
Simone strikes*
John Weck I think that's a better term, but people might get ideas that it has something to do with bioterrorists. Unfortunately this is what happens when lay people read too deeply into negative results. I think the best term is NCR- non-coding regions or poor experimental resolution/high S/N (signal to noise) ratio, just not the "junk" DNA business that became popular during the late 90s. Lol. Genetic material contains artifacts but not "junk." The public needs to really learn the difference between artifacts and artefacts.
Dark DNA...it's what causes metahumans to be villains.
Gypsy
If all metahumans were villains we wouldn’t have flash or kid flash or Cisco or other good guys we have encountered on the DCEU tv shows
Wow a blind spot in dna sequencing.
DARK DNA 😂 why did they give it such a dramatic name?
It's actually pretty common if you have poor experimental design.
It is known just not annotated. It's like being able to see the words on a page but be illiterate to them. Not having it sequenced is like not having it written down. So not 98%.
Saya Konohana how convenient😂
GoB GoD 😂
Why does this title sound like an April Fool’s joke?

Woah, man. Reign in those horses.
Denise Thasder You're paranoid
Jhoods2800 rarted*
Keep up the great work seeker, you guys got me to like science even more.
Those mice had System 32 deleted
Done casting my vote for SEEKER! you guys rock!!
DNA coding isn't a joke. Sequence annotations of about 30,000 genes out of 6.6 billion basepairs took us a good 10 years time even with supercomputers.There will always be a lot unknown when we think we know it all
Who ever did this mans hair better get another profession
Over all good video tho and I actually like this mans
Sweeny Todd.
My toenail did it
Red hair is rare
He did it himself
Looks like you guys are in the lead for the webby! Great job!
Fascinating! Show more lab cutaways next time :)
can’t wait for 2020 “Dark DNA” movie
It's here already, except it's real nCov dark virus real life movie
The genome is basically written by two programmers. One programmer writes a lot of comments in his codes, so much so that most of his codes are comments. The other programmer is a bit of a genius and writes code very elegantly without any comments.
This helped me sum it up :)
Damn. That's very simply described
Just watched. Great timing. Voting now.
Fantastic work, keep it up. Roll on solving the human dna operating system
He says we have no idea what the other 98% of the DNA does but we kin of do. Tansposable elements (transposons) make up about 50% of human DNA. For those of you who don't know what they are, a transposon is a DNA sequence that, by multiple mechanisms, can move over the DNA or reproduce within it, often creating double strand break and mutations. Often, the cell make sure transposons are inactivated via the histone code (epigenetics)
Hope you learned something :)
Philippe Carle So 50% of our DNA is dumb and can kill us?
Philippe Carle although we now know that approximately 50% of human genome is composed of transposons (jumping genes), it is still not clear what are there functions. We know that they can cause mutations and variation in the genome among other things but it is still not clear what they actually do. Some transposons also appears to be silenced so we dont know there purpose. So when he said that we dont know 98% of our genome does, he meant we dont know there function in an organism, because it is highly unlikely that transposons are just meant for mutation and variation in a genome.
BigBlueRed 26 not all mutations are bad.
Philippe Carle Hi. What u wrote seems quite interesting. If possible, do u mind sharing more about how the DNA can "move over" or "reproduce" (do u mean DNA replication?) Also, how do the mutations occur? I would really appreciate if u can teach me about it. Thank you!
Not to mention repeating sequences, introns, signaling genes like TATA box and homebox sequenes. Not really an accurate video...
As a student in a STEM program, this is really helpful in some of our topics in biology.
Is it true that the scientist have to take the stem cells from a living infant and then after they take the cells from a living child they snap the babies neck ? Aren't people awful?
Is it possible to extract D.N.A from a fart?
I VOTED BECAUSE YOUR MY FAVORITE SCIENCE CHANNEL!!!
Subscribed , awesome content , thumbs up !!
Thank for sharing the ìnormation of dark DNA. :-0
*ÌnOrMaTiOn*
You welcome bro v: Ko có chi
I could smell science fiction in the making :D
Uneti Tree
Fiction is a name for something that isnt real.
This is 100 percent real.
paul cooper all the movies and books that could be made of this
paul cooper actually Fiction is something that is impossible or false- get your facts right 😂
Because you *watch too much* SciFi
Searching in my DNA for coded clues, I found a message. "Your dead mother regrets giving this DNA to you" I never knew DNA could be so dark.
Voting was simple enough. Good luck!
We still have so much left to understand!
some of us maybe.. so, get fuckin learning, cos i already understand that this guy is wrong, and making clickbait videos
What a ground-breaking statement. Genius!!!!
Ghryst VanGhod stfu bitch ass
lets play Spot The Low IQ Retards!
>looks at shaved ballsack knowingly
It's true, they missrepresent a lot of what we know, and the guy who speaks don't understand genetic, someone who has even a little knowledge would never say what he says
wheres the link to vote?

thanks Lyana!
What amazes me the most is our brains develop from a microscopic bit of stuff. It's like the ultimate compression technology.
And with this video i subscribe to your channel!!! So interesting info, thank you 💖
Where is the link to vote you?
I see no voting link either.

Ethan ?
Uds Shadow I said "I know, right"
Ethan then give link if you know
Here's my idea, a lot of the non-sequencing DNA performs a regulatory/repair role perhaps. Perhaps these are "buffer" genes that help with adaptability to different stress conditions, no matter how small or large, external or internal stress they may be.FYI, if this idea gets published or something, remember this is MY IDEA!
The fact that you can discuss this incredibly complex issue about our clearly designed or Created bodies and still refer to "evolution", is what really amazes me.
Whenever I saw the title I instantly thought of an evil villain's DNA
So if we dont understand anything with add dark to their name.
You couldn't find something don't worry just put "dark" in front of it and say it is hidden
Love u seeker!! Love u!!
U finally fulfilled my wish!! I so damn wanted to watch more video's on genetics!!
Sir there is no voting link.Lol.You people deserve it.Go Seeker squad.
Soon Something Dark Gravity will come one day. LOL 😆
Dark Energy = Dark Gravity
Dark matter is only affected by gravity so... close enough! 😁
Dark Quantum is awaiting. 😂
The dark gravity is in my bathroom and adding 20 pounds to my scale.
the weather man might get in on the dark bandwagon too - dark clouds I imagine.
More research is needed
Every damn time
We are in the age of scientific exploration. There is always more to learn.
So interesting man!
Seeker's "Hank Green" asking for a webby. Lol. I'm kidding. Love the seekers and content.
I love mysteries
A SKill I hate, that's why I love science

How do I vote?? Like, I go to website and there's no reference about you or the voting process
I love this channel 😍 my fav
Mary Jones mine too.
They’re the best
me too, but I'm biased.
Omg trace is my fav
Wow that's a new idea!
Dark DNA by BTS lol
lmao wait..yes singularity mashed up with dna please
Voted for you guys 👍🏾
this is really something new to read and learn about. thanks
Dark matter, dark energy, dark DNA.
Translation; "i didn't discover anything and have no idea how anything works".
One Day I will become a great Scientist and will be Reaseaching On Dark Matter
Whatsapp Status For You math is your friend
Good luck in that endeavor.
i will also conduct research on this
Good luck bro.
Whatsapp Status For You jus kno the name doesnt actually mean its matter cuz its not
This is the most interesting video I have seen in awhile , sadly the topic is less then 3 minutes with advertising for future videos almost taking up the last sixty seconds.
love your ears and seeker! voted !
Never clicked on a video so fast...
Best 👏 Click 👏 Bait 👏 m8
The title and picture imply that the DNA is black (maybe because of some additional functional groups or whatsoever). It's subtle but it is clickbait.
Well i voted instantly, coz you people make some best content, and yur work is really appreciable, though I don’t use VR headset, I don’t have much moey to buy it coz of my medical college huge fee, but one day I surely will
Julian!!!! I enjoy how you present in these videos! 😄😄😄
Those dna might hold the restrictions of bio-immortality ? Like somehow changing them can...idk sorry .
Obito Uchiha lmao so why would they b turned off
triigga s not turned off but more like different paths , if the lines are switched or modified then maybe cell aging can be stopped or so i thought xD
Obito Uchiha that's really all I'm concerned with, also regeneration.
Stopping the telomeres of cells from disintegrating over time as we age could very well prolong our life span to almost as along as we can . But we wouldn’t just become immortal we have to adapt our physical form with our ever changing environment to truly become immortal that may take a over 7 to 8 decades but if self aware artificial intelligence is created early it could help us with any thing we think about unless it seems us as a threat and decides to eradicate us from this planet maybe it won’t because the self preservation is in our DNA , part of our sympathetic nervous system which controls the fight or flight instincts(DNA that it doesn’t have)but would a consciousness without biochemical process really be a true consciousness or would it be the ultimate consciousness with no boundaries or restrictions having unlimited computing power at its disposal and no one to answer to other than it self , My dream is to become a geneticist and change the world for the better and I think making a new species will be one of the ways to evolve mankind into something we can’t even fathom yet .
Obito Uchiha no, you can't become madara
Goddamn science and its clickbaity naming. I thought this would be about how I have secret "Dark DNA" that would activate and make me the Prince of Darkness.
Awesome !!!
Good stuff.
Yeah, apparently EVERYONE really loves the 'dark' analogy. I can't wait until psychologists start calling the subconscious part of our mind/brain the 'dark consciousness.' That'll be just great. Ugh. Anyway, as I've been saying since people started bandying about the term, 'junk DNA' (oh, look - there's yet ANOTHER term I'm excruciatingly sick of...), if you want to build an organism inside another organism, the instructions might just include periods of waiting. It seems that this could possibly explain some of the 'junk DNA,' though certainly not all of it. As to 'dark DNA,' it makes me think of hidden coding in a computer program - a crude, but maybe effective, analogy. It's possible that this idea could be used by life in an attempt to protect certain crucial areas of DNA. Not a perfect system, by any means, but hey, it's a thought, Rikki Tikki.
Thanks! This is one more reason not to be so quick to label any DNA we don't immediately understand as "junk." Hell - for all we know, there could actually be *_overlapping sequences_* that we have no inkling of. [Okay, that sounds weird, but I've witnessed much, much weirder discoveries in science!] I mean, on the one hand, we go around saying things like, "Gee - we could fit the entire internet on some DNA! Isn't that *_cool?_***" On the other hand, we ***_act_* like DNA is just perfectly straightforward - even mostly composed of "junk" that doesn't "code" for anything! Somebody's got the wrong idea! DNA might conceivably have sequences that code for one thing in you, & something else in me. Or it might code for one thing at some point in time - and/or in your body - then later - and/or somewhere else in your body, it might do something different. Sound nuts? Totally bonkers? Prove it. And that's the point - we just don't know. Otherwise, Julian wouldn't have researched, written & hosted this very video. For as long as I've been reading about [yes: I said, "reading about" - I read magazines devoted to science news. There are some very good ones I won't go into, here. You can find them easily. I've been reading some of them since the late 70s. Yeah, I'm old. 54 to be exact, which means I'm probably old enough to be the grandfather of most of you! ;o) ] Anyway - for as long as I've been reading about so-called "junk DNA" - since the late 80s or very early 90s - I've been saying to anyone who'd listen [which was nobody] that I don't buy into it. That's much, much too simple. Nature is much too clever to be that boring & straightforward! Sorry. You'll actually have to prove to me that it *_is_* that simple - otherwise I'll believe it's very complex. Hey - we only recently (relatively speaking) discovered epigenetics! Which, by the way, does some of the things I've just mentioned. My go-to, uneducated guess has been - & remains to this day - that one of the things scientists are not taking into adequate account is the notion that genes are so much like a recipe that there's an analogy to the idea of letting the dough rise (or baking it for some amount of time; or letting it cool off, etc) - such that one of the things "non-coding" sections *_might_* do (under certain circumstances of which we're not yet aware) is provide a kind of 'timing.' I know that genes can be 'read off' pretty quickly. Nevertheless, it *_could be_* that it's sometimes necessary to have even a tiny period where no 'crucial' genes are being read off, so that other, vital things, can happen before the next "important" genes *_are_* read off. Please prove me wrong on that one, too! Why? Because it would be something we didn't know before. Genes - in *_any_* organism - are going to turn out to be so much more wonderfully complex & sophisticated than we can possibly comprehend right now. I'm waiting for the next revelation! And I bet that sooner or later that revelation is going to be that "junk" DNA is *_NOT_* all "junk" after all. I hold no illusions that some important scientist is going to be hanging their career on anything I say. But i"m saying it anyhow, because I want to, & because I think it's true (in the general; not necessarily the specific.) But *_you guys_* might just read this way-too-long comment; belated though it may be! And I'll feel vindicated, as long as new things continue to surprise scientists about good-ole DNA. Thanks again!

Super Cool informations ^^
Awesome info
if you dont understand anything properly name it DARK.. example.. DARK VIDEO OF THIS CHANNEL..
Dark people.

I just think it's really fun how some people support GMO and yet every few years the genetic researches come out with a whole new epiphany about how what little they thought they knew about DNA is in fact even less
i have a theory : maybe we are actual robots since we do not ressamble anything to anything in nature , and robots do , metal is found in nature , they are made of metal , i am failing to completely explain but give it a thought
KHALONE They didn't know they were robots..til it was too late..
stop inhaling the melted steal beams fumes and jet fuel its obvious we are evolved primates and we share more dna with chimps than any other organism on the planet, we caused the neanderthal to go extinct and any other hominids predating that are what lead to modern humans and the neanderthal to begin with splitting off from a common ancestor with chimps.
voted,you're still on first place,hope you win,only one day to go,think this is done deal !! cheers
im not sure if i voted correctly, but i keep clicking the link but nothing happens, searching on that site 'seeker' isn't finding it
Such a misleading name. We can measure darkmatter's gravitational influence, and we can measure that quite well, but we call darkmatter "dark" because we don't have a clue as to what it actually is.
We know what DNA is. Just because we found base pairs that we don't quite know what they do, doesn't make them "dark." We know what they ARE, we just don't fully understand what they do. There's a difference.
The unknown part is not the DNA memory system, it's most of the genome software system stored there.
I wouldn't even call it memory. It's a polymer chain made of chemicals that produce a living being after a long period of development, and different sequences of these chemicals do different things. It's all too easy to look at humans and think that we're an "end product," when we're really just the latest in a long web of marginal successes and far more numerous failures, given that 99% of everything that ever lived is now extinct.
A memory system stores information, and that's what DNA does. All memory systems have contents - information called a software system. All softwares used as control systems are intelligent (the larger, the smarter). So, cellular manufacture and maintenance is managed by the genome software system. I think it's a lot easier to understand it that way. ;)
No, it's actually much more misleading that way. What is information? Information implies an intent to communicate, and the history of life on this planet displays anything BUT intent. Calling it information also predisposes you to looking at the tree of life from the top down and thinking that life is orchestrated to be the way it is with US as the end-product in mind, when in fact, much the opposite is the case.
Information is the structure of the universe. It’s exists everywhere you find any structure in space-time.
The hardware of any system is made of information arranging physics particles into the any macro structures we see. Even the particles contain information. Information looks like the most fundamental substance I’ve ever seen. To summarize, the structure of our universe is a fundamental part of our universe (this includes all time as well).
The software (information stored in a memory system) is the most important information for humans because that’s what writing, genomes, and minds are made of (pure information - skip the hardware structures like atoms and brains). Software provides its own structure (its own levels of organization) which is completely separate from the hardware structure/hierarchy/information. Objects also exist it a software universe, just like they do in nature (defined by their information). This is why people make entire game worlds (software universes) using software systems.
There are lots of things that only make sense if you view them from an structure/information perspective.
Complexity - the amount of structure/information in a system.
Order - the density of structure/information in a system.
Communications - using machines to move pure information (bits of structure) around.
Memory systems - structure/information storage machines.
Software - structure/information stored in a memory system.
Minds - software control systems that do problem solving for animals (act intelligently).
Genomes - a cellular software manager that does things like cellular construction and maintenance.
Software universes - universes made of software (like a book, most games, The Matrix movie, mathematics, etc.).

Forgive me
Lost Swiftpaw you made a joke why say forgive, I like it
Forgivness granted.
You have no forgiveness
Lost Swiftpaw there is so much behind that statement he made. I'm not forgiving tho
>Can confirm
Voted!! Gl guys! 😉😉☺☺
Voted 👍
HELLLOOOO ALMOST FIRST LOL
Its God factor
Link to popsci.com article in the description is broken. Please fix it.
complete thesis.... But is incredible to think about, and could be the reason behind MANY unexplained and great questions of the universe. 👍
Regular matter, darkmatter/ regular dna, dark dna / the Yin and the Yang. The old civilisation figured it all out way ahead of us.
Good point.
Nothing about balance here. Not a good comparison. More like matrix wires we are too dumb to discover yet
AuraAcqua remind me; 2040.
not really because the dark ones are like 90% of the whole picture, the proportion is already imbalanced
stefanholtland Fucking hell, you don't even know what Yin and Yang is. The Taijitu is a mystical symbol that postulates that the seeds of an object are found in its opposite. The ancient Greeks and alchemists called it enantiodromic transmogrification.
And guess what? They were all wrong. You using this video as an affirmation of whatever faith you have is really just pathetic.
rapid evolution came after people said humans need to evolve billions of years so scientists camw up with rapid evolution . sounds like scientists make things up . great..
Khatab Hunter I think you don't know what you are talking about. I can only make a bacteria or virus evolve. Forced metazoan evolution isn't possible with current technology, notwithstanding natural selection.
Umm, can anyone find that voting link? It's not there for me. Just links to their videos.
very harmonic video thanks
I don't see the vote link in the description.
I want that VR badly!!
Wow... how excellent. I am going to take a look. Later and Thanks for the information.
voted and best of luck guys
Much of the apparently superfluous DNA has an obvious physical function. It allows the DNA to bulk out selected sequences that code for specific elements and expose these sequences so that they can be used. Had the DNA been compact, all the useful DNA would be unreachable. But probably much of it simultaneously has cybernetic control functions.
That's the coolest seeker t-shirt.
