The genome of an organism is its entire hereditary information encoded in DNA.
A genome is made up of genes and other DNA sequences that do not code for proteins.
Most of the eukaryotic genome consists of non-coding sequences.
DNA sequences that code for protein are defined as genes.
Other sequences regulate transcription and others are transcribed but never translated.
Details of regulation of transcription (for example Jacob–Monod hypothesis) not required.
tRNA and rRNA are non-translated forms of RNA.
