== Definition ==
Although this term is also sometimes used interchangeably with [[exon]], it is not the exact same thing: the [[exon]] can be composed of the coding region as well as the 3' and 5' [[untranslated region]]s of the RNA, and so therefore, an exon would be partially made up of coding
There is often confusion between coding regions and [[exome]]s and there is a clear distinction between these terms. While the [[exome]] refers to all exons within a genome, the coding region refers to a singular section of the DNA or RNA which specifically codes for a certain kind of protein.
