Detailed explanation-1: -In the 1960s DNA reannealing studies uncovered that eukaryotic genomes contain a highly variable fraction of repetitive DNA. Since the sequencing of complex genomes these observations have been made precise: approximately 50% of the human genome is made up of repetitive sequences [8].
Detailed explanation-2: -In humans, only about 2% of the genome encodes proteins. Much-but not all-of the remaining 98% is evolutionary detritus. In the 1960s, researchers learned that non-coding DNA can serve vital functions, such as regulating gene action and building ribosomes. The remainder they began to call junk.
Detailed explanation-3: -Only about 1 percent of DNA is made up of protein-coding genes; the other 99 percent is noncoding.
Detailed explanation-4: -Since the exome occupies only about 1% of the genome, the size of an exome is roughly 30 million nucleotides; thus, approximately 99% of the human genome does not code for a protein. However, these regions by and large have biological functions that might affect gene expression and likely the clinical phenotypes.
