Assessment of length distributions between non-coding and coding sequences amongst two model organisms.
The availability of genomic DNA and cDNA sequence data has escalated the data mining and genomics era. We aim to investigate the length distributions of the non-coding and coding regions of protein genes of two model organisms, Arabidopsis thaliana and Drosophila melanogaster. A non-linear functional relationship model was applied and strong correlation was found between the Coding Sequence (CDS) and non-coding sequence regions, conditional on the 5' UTR data. Significant differences were found between the protein functional classes and each gene region. Examination of the non-coding and coding regions of these organisms has revealed possible correlations.
