Document Summary

Bacterial genome: majority of dna is genes in bacteria, consist of only exons, the white intergenic region are positioned between the genes are very short and don"t code proteins. Yeast genome: slightly more complicated (eukaryotic, genes become longer, reflect higher complexity, most of the dna is still occupied by genes with short intergenic regions o. Drosophila genome: most of the dna is occupied by the genes, divided by more exons and introns, intergenic regions are longer and comparable to gene length. Longer genes, number of exons and introns grows significantly: the intergenic regions are larger, longer than genes themselves, a lot of junk dna in humans. More junk dna related to complexity of species: during evolution some genes became inactive o. Junk dna constitutes an important part of the human genome. Non-coding dna is responsible for gene regulation. Dna is packed into chromatine nucleosomes (complex of proteins)
