DNA and CARBs

"A debate over the origins of what is sometimes called "junk" DNA has
been settled by research involving scientists at the Center for
Advanced Research in Biotechnology (CARB) and a collaborator, who
developed rigorous proof that these mysterious sections were added to
DNA "late" in the evolution of life on earth–after the formation of
modern-sized genes, which contain instructions for making proteins.
A biologist with the Commerce Department's National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) led the research team"
The more interesting thing to me is the "biologist with the Commerce
Department"…
