An intergenic region is a section of DNA that lies between genes. These regions do not code for proteins or RNA products, meaning they are not transcribed into mRNA. However, intergenic regions can play important roles in gene regulation and genome organization. Intergenic regions can contain various elements such as: 1. **Regulatory Sequences**: These can include promoters, enhancers, silencers, and insulators that help control the expression of nearby genes.
