Continuing my survey of recent papers on junk DNA, I stumbled upon a review by Subash Lakhotia that has recently been accepted in The Proceedings of the Indian National Science Academy (Lakhotia, 2018). It illustrates the extent of the publicity campaign mounted by ENCODE and opponents of junk DNA. In the title of this post, I paraphrased a sentence from the abstract that summarizes the point of the paper; namely, that the 'recent' discovery of noncoding RNAs refutes the concept of junk DNA.
Lakhotia claims to have written a review of the history of junk DNA but, in fact, his review perpetuates a false history. He repeats a version of history made popular by John Mattick. It goes like this. Old-fashioned scientists were seduced by Crick's central dogma into thinking that the only important part of the genome was the part encoding proteins. They ignored genes for noncoding RNAs because they didn't fit into their 'dogma.' They assumed that most of the noncoding part of the genome was junk. However, recent new discoveries of huge numbers of noncoding RNAs reveal that those scientists were very stupid. We now know that the genome is chock full of noncoding RNA genes and the concept of junk DNA has been refuted.Here's the abstract ...
Major discoveries like the one gene-one enzyme hypothesis, demonstration of DNA as the genetic material and finally the elucidation of the double helical structure of DNA in 1940s and early 1950s set the stage for emergence of molecular biology. Parallel cell biological studies during this period also indicated a correlation between rate of protein synthesis in a cell and the amount of cytoplasmic RNA. Following the proposal of George Gamow, a physicist, about the triplet genetic code and possible involvement of RNA in the transfer of information from DNA to proteins, Crick proposed the 'central dogma of molecular biology' to suggest the paths of information transfer between nucleic acids and proteins, with the limitation that thSubhash Lakhotia (1949-2016) was the Director of R. N. Lakhotia & Associates LLP and Lakhotia College of Taxation & Management, and an Income-tax practitioner for over 45 years, practising as a consultant on tax planning, tax documentation and investment planning. He wrote prodigiously in various national dailies and also addressed numerous seminars and lecture meetings on taxation and tax planning. He also conducted the popular course known as “Zero to Hero in Direct Taxes.”
He was selected as the best youth of India by the Lions International to represent India at the World Youth Congress held at Atlantic City, USA in 1970. He was Secretary General of Investors Club and President of Spiritual Clubs International and Unite to Invest (UTI), Chief Strategist of Real Estate Strategy Group, and was also actively associated with various professsional bodies connected with real estate. He has written dozens of books on income-tax, investment and real estate, and spirituality. He was actively associated with Lions Clubs International. He has been awarded the “Sahityashree” award and “The Suryadatta National Award, 2010”. In the year 2014 he was awarded the “Ambassador of Good Will” award by The International Association of Lions Clubs, USA.
Subhash Lakhotia anchored the very popular TV show “Tax Guru” on CNBC Awaaz. He featured in over 500 continuous episodes. “Tax Guru” won the National Television Award, 2010 for “Best Business Talk Show of the Year.” He instituted “Subhash Lakhotia Shrawan Kumar Puraskar” of Rs. 1 lakh per year and another award known as “Subhash Lakhotia Sewa Puraskar” also of Rs. 1 lakh per annum.
