I am using IGV to view the mapped bam file to the reference- some genes have no coverage at all (no grey bars)- how could I know if these regions are absent from my genome (compared to the reference) or they were not sequenced at all?

You are not going to know for sure from data you have at hand. Here are a couple things to consider.
If you have good coverage on either side of the region you are not seeing then there is a chance that the region is absent in your genome (you will need to verify by additional experimentation).
If you do not have uniformly good depth of coverage across the genome then you would not know if a particular region was not sequenced. You would probably need to sequence deeper in that case.

I was wondering why I can see in IGV white bars at certain regions (not grey bars)?

Is this exome capture? If so I would check the regions are captured by the kit used in the first place. The bed files for the capture regions will be available from the manufacturer, and it may be that the regions might not be sequenced for this reason.

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...-

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-
