Today we started chapter 4, on genes, genomes and DNA, a discussion on how DNA is organized and how such organization, contrasting prokaryotes and eukaryotes, affects DNA function and replication.
We discussed the different kinds of non-coding DNA (e.g. LINEs, SINEs, introns, satellite DNA, VNTRs...) a few reasons that explain its existence, and a few applications by using them as molecular markers.
