What is in a genome? Coding and non-coding sequences, by Wim Degrave
Many prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes have been fully sequenced, and almost all of the attention has been drawn to protein-coding regions, in the search for new drug, vaccine and diagnostic targets, and as a focal point of study in evolutionary biology. Annotation systems are also designed mainly to uncover and detail protein-coding sequences. Relatively little is known about the structure and function of non-coding regions, repetitive DNA, and control regions for gene expression and chromosome structure and function, which remains a challenge for analysis and annotation systems.

Wim Degrave has a degree in Chemistry and Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, both from the Federal University of Gent, Bélgium. Since 1985 he is active in the Department for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Oswaldo Cruz Institute . Fiocruz, as senior researcher and head of the Laboratory for Functional Genomics and Bioinformatics. Since 1987, he is responsible for bioinformatics at Fiocruz, having organized several post-graduate, regional and international courses in this field. He is coordinator of the Latin-American and Caribbean Network for Bioinformatics (LacBioNet) and for the Ibero-American network for Bioinformatics (RIBio)
