Structural Divisions of the Human Genome. Most of the human genome is repetitive DNA sequences (red) and transposable elements (green, LINES, SINEs, LTRs, and viruses). Very little of the genome is coding sequence (blue, exons), but there is great room for gene flexibility and change with many of the gene’s long intron sequences (blue, introns).
