Instead, regions of the DNA producing distinct proteins may overlap, so that the idea emerges that "genes are one long continuum".

The floristic region overlaps four distinct mammalian faunal regions.

This region overlaps slightly with the translational start site of the protein, located at approximately 102,389,656bp of the genomic DNA.

To their surprise they discovered that the coding regions of some of the genes overlapped with one another.

The geographical regions covered by circuits and dioceses rarely overlap.

The two regions overlap, but the experiences aren't the same [source: APS].

If the compiler assumes there is no alias, whenever the regions overlap, you get undefined behaviour.

Note that these regions come from different time periods - from ancient to modern era - and may often overlap.

The brain scans showed that regions activated during the pain-expectation phase overlapped partially with those activated during the experience of pain.

Their sensitive regions overlap a little, and your brain processes the inputs from the different sensors to reconstruct about what the color must be.
