Spanish term

basura del genoma

Spanish to English Medical Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) Cancer treatment
It's a press release for a research centre. And the title is: Encontrados nuevos supresores tumorales del cáncer de colon entre la “basura del genoma”.
This "basura del genoma" is where I'm stuck. Genome thrash/garbage/rubbish?
The term may be something they have invented, I certainly can't find any translation online.
Many thanks,
Ann

Thanks Phil.
agree Charles Davis : That's what it's called. "Noncoding" in polite language. "Basura genómica" is more common.
