Human DNA?

Should the text of the article imply that intergenic regions are exclusive to humans? I thought one found intergenic DNA in pretty much any organism that has DNA.

Promoter

I have see-also'ed promoter. I see—as far as I can browse— that a promotor region is regarded as a intergenic region. Is that correct? — fnielsen (talk) 19:17, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Spacer DNA?

Is this the same as Spacer DNA, or is one a subgroup of the other, or something entirely different? Stephan Matthiesen (talk) 12:38, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Percentages of intergenic regions in human?

I have added some rough percentages as opposed " a large number" but the paper is out of date. Will change this once i find a more suitable reference DesiLady (talk) 12:50, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

I think the quoted percentage is completely incorrect. The cited source names those percentages in the context of "genome [that] does not code for proteins". That would include e.g. introns which even according to the article are not inter(!)genic. That's a pretty big error as ~26% of human genome are introns... --Maxnoka (talk) 18:20, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
