#Carnivorous plant throws out junk DNAGENES make up about 2 percent of the human genome. The rest consists of a genetic material known as noncoding DNA

The clues lie in the genome of the carnivorous bladderwort plant Utricularia gibba. The U. gibba genome is the smallest ever to be sequenced from a complex multicellular plant.

This may explain the difference between bladderworts and junk-heavy species like corn and tobacco--and humans.

The big story is that only 3 percent of the bladderwort's genetic material is so-called'junk'DNA Albert said.

The bladderwort is an eccentric and complicated plant. It lives in aquatic habitats like freshwater wetlands

That is at three distinct times in the course of its evolution the bladderwort's genome doubled in size with offspring receiving two full copies of the species'entire genome.

This surprisingly rich history of duplication paired with the current small size of the bladderwort genome is further evidence that the plant has been prolific at deleting nonessential DNA
