Introduction:

In the genomic content of an individual, the information is coded by a specific stretch of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). There is onlya small amount of the DNA that codes some useful information. About 99% of the DNA, which does not code anything, is known as junk DNA. The same DNA is present in all the cells of the body, but the function of every DNA depends on the type of genetic expression in that cell.
