You know the trouble is that you can't prove something like this until
the DNA actually migrates.  There have been plenty of studies on corn
however (maze) that show that the junk dna isn't as useless as once
thought.  However, genetic variation in mammals isn't quite as random as
vegetables.  Hence the lack of a paper.
