Definition of intron in English: intronnoun ˈɪntrɒnˈinˌträn Biochemistry A segment of a DNA or RNA molecule which does not code for proteins and interrupts the sequence of genes. Compare with exon Example sentencesExamples - This finding is the first suggestion that multiple spliceosomal introns occur in ribosomal genes.
- First, many heterochromatic genes have large introns relative to the genome as a whole.
- The coding region is interrupted by several synthetic introns to improve gene expression.
- This exception may be the result of this region corresponding to a small intron in the Drosophila gene.
- The second insertion traps an exon of a different gene contained in an intron of the former gene.
Derivatives adjective Biochemistry In the GART locus, however, simultaneous transcription of the purine gene and the intronic gene seems possible. Example sentencesExamples - A subset of 12 fragments was selected from 105 noncoding DNA fragments from both intronic and intergenic regions on the X chromosome.
- More than 200 causative alleles are known, and many recurrent alleles have been tested for the extent of intraallelic variability at an intronic microsatellite locus.
- Even though there was a certain amount of intra-allelic variation in intronic and third codon positions, an allele-specific DNA consensus sequence could be easily deduced.
- The upper band is amplified genomic DNA containing the intronic sequence.
