what is the difference between the coding and noncoding regions of a gene?
534663
Coding and noncoding DNA differed in aggregation in 94% of genomes. Noncoding regions were more aggregated than coding regions in 91% of these genomes. Genome length appears to limit aggregation, but chromosome length does not.

During splicing, introns (Non-coding regions) are removed and exons (Coding Regions) are joined together. For nuclear-encoded genes, splicing takes place within the nucleus either during or immediately after transcription.

By definition, an SNP changes a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence, whereas an indel incorporates or removes one or more nucleotides (Loewe, 2008). ... Even in‐frame indels (insertions or deletions of three or multiples of three base pairs) in the coding sequence can also result in altered proteins.

In most eukaryotic genes, coding regions (exons) are interrupted by noncoding regions (introns). During transcription, the entire gene is copied into a pre-mRNA, which includes exons and introns. During the process of RNA splicing, introns are removed and exons joined to form a contiguous coding sequence.

One strand of DNA holds the information that codes for various genes; this strand is often called the template strand or antisense strand (containing anticodons). The other, and complementary, strand is called the coding strand or sense strand (containing codons).

Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person's genes.

On average, the protein-coding regions of the mouse and human genomes are 85 percent identical; some genes are 99 percent identical while others are only 60 percent identical. These regions are evolutionarily conserved because they are required for function.
655386
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes both contain noncoding DNA, the function of which is not well understood. Some noncoding DNA appears to participate in the formation of small noncoding RNA molecules that influence gene expression; some appears to play a role in maintaining chromosomal structure and in DNA packaging.

Structural genes are transcribed into mRNA, but regulator genes are not. ... Structural genes encode proteins that function in the structure of the cell; regulator genes carry out metabolic reactions.

A typical eukaryotic gene, therefore, consists of a set of sequences that appear in mature mRNA (called exons) interrupted by introns. The regions between genes are likewise not expressed, but may help with chromatin assembly, contain promoters, and so forth.
1022276
Genes are encoded by DNA and found within chromosomes. (Chromosomes are composed of DNA and protein, and DNA is composed of genes and noncoding regions.)

A gene is a section of a DNA molecule that contains the information to code for one specific protein. How does a DNA molecule determine the structure of a specific protein? The sequence of bases in the DNA molecule determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein.

What is the difference in what they do? DNA stores and transmits genetic information. RNA acts as a template for making proteins. DNA is found in the nucleus only.
1330511
An intron is a portion of a gene that does not code for amino acids. ... The parts of the gene sequence that are expressed in the protein are called exons, because they are expressed, while the parts of the gene sequence that are not expressed in the protein are called introns, because they come in between the exons.

The main difference between RNA-Seq and microarrays is that the former allows for full sequencing of the whole transcriptome while the latter only profiles predefined transcripts/genes through hybridization.
409799
The genetic code is the relation between the sequence of bases in DNA (or its RNA transcripts) and the sequence of amino acids in proteins. ... Genetic experiments showed that an amino acid is in fact encoded by a group of three bases, or codon.

The genome of an organism is inscribed in DNA, or in some viruses RNA. The portion of the genome that codes for a protein or an RNA is referred to as a gene. Those genes that code for proteins are composed of tri-nucleotide units called codons, each coding for a single amino acid.
