Reply to comment by MrHanoixan in Researchers demonstrate that the specific sequence of bases along a section of DNA determines the local bendability of the molecule and publish the mapping between the local sequence and the local deformability of DNA by TurretLauncher

There still is 'junk' DNA, but large sections of a chromosome is structural. Allows for histone binding and conformational changes. This isn't new or groundbreaking. This paper is defining properties for classifying and labeling functional regions that will predict these changes.

My comment was a lazy joke, but I appreciate your earnest response!
