junk DNA

To him, junk DNA isn't a sign of evolution's failure. It is, instead, evidence of its slow and slovenly triumph.

在他看来，“垃圾DNA”并不是进化失败的标志，相反，它表明进化是个缓慢的过程，其成功往往是不经意间的妙手偶得。

The turn against the notion of junk DNA, they argue, is based on overinterpretations of wispy evidence and a willful ignorance of years of solid research on the genome.

他们认为，反对垃圾DNA的概念，不过是基于对少数证据的过度解读，以及对多年来扎实的基因组研究的刻意忽视。

Junk DNA had started out as a theoretical argument, but now the messiness of our evolution was laid bare for all to see.

垃圾DNA最初只是一个理论上的争论，但现在我们在进化上的杂乱无章已经是有目共睹。

When Crick and others began to argue for junk DNA, they were guided by a similar vision of nature as slipshod.

当克里克等人开始为垃圾DNA而辩时，他们也抱持着类似的观点：大自然是个漫不经心的家伙。
