SystemCodeDisplayDefinition
http://hl7.org/fhir/gene-element-type   promoter Promoter A DNA sequence that initiates and regulates transcription of a gene.
http://hl7.org/fhir/gene-element-type   enhancer Enhancer A DNA sequence that increases the rate of transcription.
http://hl7.org/fhir/gene-element-type   silencer Silencer A DNA sequence that reduces or prevents transcription.
http://hl7.org/fhir/gene-element-type   terminator Terminator A DNA sequence that signals the end of transcription.
http://hl7.org/fhir/gene-element-type   repressor Repressor binding site A DNA sequence to which a repressor protein binds to inhibit transcription.
http://hl7.org/fhir/gene-element-type   coding-sequence Coding sequence (CDS) The portion of a gene that encodes a protein.
http://hl7.org/fhir/gene-element-type   intron Intron A non-coding sequence within a gene that is spliced out during mRNA processing.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Lvl A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information
Source The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
