I see a lot of different DNA elements mentioned as part of a gene (talking about eukaryotes):
The length of DNA following the promoter is a gene and it contains the recipe for a protein. (video)
This implies that the promotor is not part of the gene.
This actually defines a gene without enhancers/silencers
(source)
Here the gene also includes the enhancers/silencers
Question
Is there an accepted gene definition regarding the DNA elements? Thus which sequences like promotors, enhancers, silencers etc. are considered part of the gene?
