Only the coding regions of genes are used to synthesize RNA.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that only the coding regions of genes are used to synthesize RNA?

No. The claim that only coding regions of genes are used to synthesize RNA is refuted by established biological knowledge and multiple studies showing that non-coding genes and regions (such as lncRNAs) are extensively transcribed.

2021
This paper discusses long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are transcribed RNAs that do not encode proteins, demonstrating that non-coding regions and genes are also transcribed into RNA.
