As our understanding of
the noncoding portion of the genome improves, it will become even more apparent that whole - genome sequencing (and not exome sequencing) will be required to characterize the full extent of phenotypically - relevant genetic variation in humans.
«This was what first led us to start an effort to identify novel genomic regulatory elements to explore
the noncoding portion of the genome.
Sebat says the large
noncoding portion of our DNA — often previously referred to as «junk DNA» — has so far been ignored in autism research.
We know, of course, that
noncoding portions of the human genome contain functional elements contributing to phenotypic variation.
