The eukaryotic cell emerged as an evolutionary algorithmic phase transition

Fascinating insight into the original purpose of ‘junk’ DNA.

'This tension caused by genes that grew at the same rate as before while proteins could not was resolved continuously but abruptly with the incorporation of non-coding sequences into the genes. With this innovation, the algorithm for searching for new proteins rapidly reduced its computational complexity, becoming non-linear through the spliceosome and the nucleus, which separated transcription and splicing from translation.'
