Th2L01 Prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic genes
  1. Eukaryotic genes
    1. Exons
      1. Genome expressed sequence of DNA Genome expressed sequence of DNA
        1. Codes for a protein
          1. About 1.5% of DNA
            1. Found in mature mRNA
            2. Introns
              1. Non-coding
                1. Interrupt mRNA
                  1. 23% of DNA
                    1. Not found in mRNA
                    2. Non-coding DNA
                      1. Untranscribed regions near genes
                        1. ca. 2% of non-coding regions of DNA
                          1. Areas flanking genes, esp. at the 5' end are important regulatory elements that control the production of mRNA
                          2. Repetitive DNA
                            1. Nucleotide sequences, usually noncoding, that are present in many copies in a eukaryotic genome
                              1. The repeated units may be short and arranged tandemly (in series) or long and dispersed in the genome
                                1. about 50% of DNA
