NON-CODING SEGMENTS. “Not all new genes code for proteins. Noncoding RNAs were found to play an important role in neuronal functions in the early 1990s. A large number of functional RNAs from noncoding regions have been reported to play vital roles in a wide variety of organisms. MicroRNAs appear to turn over rapidly, but can be strongly influenced by positive selection.”
