Coding sequenceplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigSequence: the precise order of monomers in a polymer. In DNA, it refers to the order of G, A, T, and C nucleotides. In RNA, it refers to the order of G, A, U, and C nucleotides.

Most of the time, a gene product is a protein. Sometimes gene products can also be an RNA molecule. In forward genetic analysis, we can't formally tell if a gene product is.
