The most relevant question for the student to ask in order to further understand the role of these non-coding regions in gene regulation is:

What are the sequences of these non-coding regions, and how do they compare to known repressors?

This question addresses the specific sequences of the non-coding regions, which could provide insights into how they may interact with repressors and potentially influence gene regulation. Understanding the sequences can help clarify their functional role in the regulatory mechanism.
