    • Intergenic Region
      • These are stretches of DNA located between genes.
      • They generally do not encode proteins, though they can contain regulatory elements (like enhancers or silencers) that influence gene expression.

      Intragenic Region
      • This term refers to DNA sequences found within the boundaries of a gene.
      • Intragenic regions include both exons and introns, so they are part of the transcribed gene even if not all parts end up in the final mRNA.

      Exon
      • Exons are the coding portions of a gene.
      • They are transcribed into RNA and remain in the mature messenger RNA (mRNA) after the non-coding segments (introns) are removed.
      • In protein-coding genes, exons contain the information used to build proteins.

      Intron
      • Introns are non-coding sections within a gene.
      • They are transcribed into the precursor mRNA but are removed (spliced out) during RNA processing before the mRNA is translated into protein.
