Now the problem with that is a problem I mentioned before,
-
that most human genes are not just a straight sequence
-
from beginning to end of the protein that you're interested in.
-
There are encoding regions called exons
-
and those are interrupted by non-coding regions called introns.
-
If I cut up just DNA from the chromosome,
-
what's called genomic DNA,
-
then I'm going to have
-
both exons and introns within the fragments that I create.
-
That might be a good way to do it
-
but it's going to be more of a challenge because you might -
-
you're going to have a lot of these non-coding sequences
