At least, that is the story told by the protein-coding genes.

这至少是蛋白质遗传码给出的结论。

They and other researchers think this type of RNA will prove as important as protein-coding genes in cell function.

他们和其他研究人员都认为这类RNA会被证明和蛋白质编码基因在细胞机能中有同等重要的作用。

To put that in perspective, that's seven times more DNA than is found in all the 20, 000 protein-coding genes in the human genome.

精确地计算这个数字，在人基因组里它是被发现的所有2万个编码蛋白基因的7倍多。

Instead of producing proteins, the genes produce something called non-coding RNA.

The HGP and Celera both said there were 30, 000 protein-coding genes, a mere one-third of previous estimates.

FORBES: Magazine Article

Pseudogene transcripts can be processed into short interfering RNAs that regulate coding genes through the RNAi pathway.

By contrast, the current estimate of the number of protein-coding genes in the human genome is 23, 000.
