Abstract
DNA is one of the most efficient and fascinating “information storage systems” known to mankind. A few pg of DNA encodes the information in the form of genes necessary for development of an oocyte into a complex organism, for example a human. It is estimated that there are about 80000–100000 genes in a vertebrate genome. However, only a small proportion of the DNA present in the cell encodes genes, which are transcribed to mRNA and then translated into proteins or other non-translated RNAs such as rRNAs and tRNAs. This 1–5% of the genome is usually referred to as coding DNA.
