What Does IGS Stand For?
IGS stands for Intergenic Spacer
IGS, or Intergenic Spacer, refers to the non-coding regions of DNA that exist between adjacent genes. These sequences play a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression and may contain elements that are important for the proper functioning of the genome. IGS regions can also provide insights into evolutionary processes and genomic organization, making them significant in both genetic research and biotechnology.
