noncodointi
Noncodointi refers to portions of the genome and transcripts that do not encode a polypeptide. It encompasses both noncoding DNA and noncoding RNA genes, which collectively contribute to cellular processes without producing proteins.
Noncoding DNA includes regulatory elements such as promoters, enhancers, silencers, and insulators; introns; intergenic regions; and
Noncoding RNA genes transcribe RNA molecules that perform cellular roles without being translated. These include tRNA
Functional significance and debates: The view that much of the genome is “junk DNA” has evolved. Many
In research and annotation, noncoding elements are cataloged by genome projects and databases (such as GENCODE
