In addition to the cringe-inducing cartoon sponsored by Nature, here are some other videos that have been put out about the ENCODE results. You tell me who you think is responsible for propagating the claim that ENCODE found that “80% of the genome is functional” and that it has overturned the notion of “junk DNA”: the media, the journal publishers, the project leaders?
