What is the metabolic cost of "junk" DNA?

If someone edited out all the non-functioning DNA, what would be the difference within nutrition required by the developing embryo and developed human? Would such a being be capable of reproduce with "normal" relations?
A lot of you question isn't set nor can be known a tthe moment. I suppose an individual might be at a metabolic benifit if it have only the exact amount of DNA needed to sustain go. But as a species we need room to relocate and alter the DNA. True enough sometimes this can end in problems but the process as whole is vital and it's up to selection to determine what is assiduous or not. When looking at protein synthesis the favorite analogy is a blueprint. and with that analogy one would ask why would you hold more information that you really need? But when looking at DNA as a species or as evolution the genetic code is more close to a garden. Furnishing the raw fabric to grow helpful or sometimes deleterious things. I guess within my second analogy natural selecion would be the gardner decide and keeping what's benificial.
