The gaps or spaces between the genes that lie on chromosomes termed intergenic regions. By definition, intergenic regions are non-coding, (i.e., they are not transcribed into codons) and therefore do not direct the protein synthesis via messenger RNA...

An Intergenic region is a stretch of DNA sequences located between clusters of genes that comprise a large percentage of the human genome but contain few or no genes. Occasionally some intergenic DNA acts to control genes close by, but most of it has no...
