An intergenic region is a stretch of DNA sequences located between genes. Intergenic regions may contain functional elements and junk DNA. == Properties and functions == Intergenic regions may contain a number of functional DNA sequences such as promoters and regulatory elements, enhancers, spacers, and (in eukaryotes) centromeres.
