I know that this is a gene so I assume, by the wording that this is a length of DNA from another human. Can't particularly explain this very clearly though, sorry. You can read more about it here though by searching about it, sorry I can't put the link as my answer will be removed.
I hope this helps you but if it does not, don't be mean! Message me and I will try my hardest to resolve my answer! :D
