GlossaryGenomic Regions

specific DNA segments with distinct functions or characteristics

Genomic regions are specific segments of DNA within an organism's genome that have distinct functions or characteristics. These regions can include genes, which code for proteins, as well as regulatory elements that control gene expression, and non-coding areas that may have structural or other roles. Understanding these regions helps scientists identify how genetic variations can influence traits and diseases, such as alopecia.
