Depends what level of education you're in...

Age 5-12: The stuff in blood.

Age 13-18: Instructions for cells to reproduce (analogue to a computer program) resides in the neuclus of the cell.

Age 19+: An organic self-assembling molecule that acts as highly compressed data storage (analogue to nanotech).

These non-coding sequences are thought to provide a sense of stability and integrity to the genome. If a DNA sequence is capable of coding for a functional protein, then it is a gene
