Genes and non-coding DNA sequences.

Ciba Foundation symposium - 1 Jan 2000

Walker P M

Abstract excerpt

Many new categories of DNA sequence organization in higher organisms have been discovered in the last 20 years. Most of these are not found in bacterial and each in turn is hailed as a likely candidate for those regulatory elements which are assumed to distinguish higher from lower organisms. This article stresses the similarities between their sequence organizations and the continuing lack of convincing function...
