Classification of human genome according to coding potential.

This figure represents a classification of human genome (DNA) where DNA includes coding sequences that are transcribed and translated into proteins and non-coding sequences that are only transcribed into RNA. Those RNA molecules are known as non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) as they lose their coding capacity and to be translated into proteins. ncRNAs are further classified according to its function into housekeeping ncRNAs and regulatory RNAs.
