ABSTRACT:
Techniques for linking non-coding and gene coding regions of a genome are provided. In one aspect, a method of determining associations between non-coding sequences and gene coding sequences in a genome of an organism comprises the following steps. At least one conserved region is identified from one or more non-coding sequences. Additional instances of the conserved region are located in the untranslated or amino acid coding regions of one or more genes in the organism under consideration, and the conserved region is associated with the one or more biological processes in which these one or more genes participate.
