GA note

Just like non coding regions are studied, would it be possible to study the effect of introns. wherein non coding regions are present intragenically as well(as intergenically)? For example , if a gene is four bits , and there are three genes,

1111****0101****1011 has only intergenic noncoding segments.

11**11****01**01*****1*0*11** has both intragenic and intergenic noncoding segments

11**1101*****0110***11 has only intragenic noncoding segments(introns)

Expected problems in analysis :
1. Schemata - related (the introns might end up representing different schemata than those intended.)
possible solution - data structure, where each “bit” consists of two bits, the first bit representing whether its a noncoding(0) or coding(1) bit, and the second bit representing the “value” 0 or 1.

2. Size - individual size should be fixed or variable
possible solution - depends on choice made, none I can think of, maybe analyse both and then decide.

Talk to Dr. Wu about this.
