> Interestingly, a massive 62 percent of the genome consists of repetitive elements, stretches of DNA that repeat over and over, inflating its size without adding new coding sequences.

Sounds like a lot of codebases I've looked at.

		Obligatory note that non-coding DNA sequences are often involved in expression regulation, DNA folding, and other interactions which aren't yet well understood. Just because a section of DNA does not encode a protein does not mean it's inactive in other life processes.

I hate this kind of writing which is rather common in science reporting. Is it bad on purpose?

Seems like the purpose is to keep reader confused about some point to maximize time spent on page. And I'm quite certain LLM can do a lot better

		It seemed pretty clear and to the point to me.

listening to the title with a screen reader, it is so easy to move the "s" as the ending of the first word.
