  1. Non-coding DNA - Wikipedia

    Non-coding DNA (ncDNA) sequences are components of an organism's DNA that do not encode protein sequences. Some non-coding DNA is transcribed into functional non-coding RNA …

  2. What is noncoding DNA?: MedlinePlus Genetics

    Only about 1 percent of DNA is made up of protein-coding genes; the other 99 percent is noncoding. Noncoding DNA does not provide instructions for making proteins.

  3. Non-Coding DNA - National Human Genome Research Institute

    3 days ago · Non-coding DNA corresponds to the portions of an organism’s genome that do not code for amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.

  4. Noncoding DNA - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
