The coding region of a gene is that portion of a gene's DNA or
RNA, composed of exons, that codes for protein. The coding region
of an organism is the sum total of the organism's genome.

The region of chromosome that is generally thought of as the
unit of function is the "gene". Genes are composed of both a
"coding region"--that sequence that tells the cell's machinery what
the protein will be--and a "regulatory" region, which tells the
cell when to turn on the coding region to make the protein.
