  1. Intron - Wikipedia

    These complex architectures allow some group I and group II introns to be self-splicing, that is, the intron-containing RNA molecule can rearrange its own covalent structure so as to precisely remove …

  2. What Are Introns and What Is Their Function? - Biology Insights

    Aug 14, 2025 · Introns are the non-coding, intervening sequences interspersed within these exons. Think of a gene as a recipe in a cookbook. Exons are the precise, actionable steps and ingredients. …

  3. Introns- Definition, Structure, Functions, Classes, Splicing

    Aug 3, 2023 · Introns are thousands of base pairs long and have many different cryptic splice sites which have sequence recognition available.

  4. Intron - National Human Genome Research Institute

    3 days ago · An intron is a region that resides within a gene but does not remain in the final mature mRNA molecule following transcription of that gene and does not code for amino acids that make up …

  5. Introns: the “dark matter” of the eukaryotic genome - Frontiers

    May 16, 2023 · Despite the abundance of introns in the eukaryotic genome and their emerging role regulating gene expression, a lot remains unexplored. Therefore, here we refer to introns as the …

  6. intron / introns | Learn Science at Scitable - Nature

    Introns are also referred to as intervening sequences. Introns are non-coding sections of an RNA transcript, or the DNA encoding it, which are spliced out, or removed, before the RNA molecule is...

  7. Intron - Definition, Structure, Functions - Biology Notes Online

    May 30, 2024 · A DNA segment that begins and ends with a particular sequence of nucleotides called an intron. As the boundary between introns and exons, these sequences are known as splice sites.

  8. Intron - (General Biology I) - Vocab, Definition, Explanations | Fiveable

    An intron is a non-coding segment of a gene that is transcribed into RNA but is removed during the process of RNA splicing before translation into a protein.

  9. Intron - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

    An intron is defined as a genomically encoded sequence that is removed from RNA transcripts during the splicing process, which can occur either through self-splicing or via the spliceosome, an RNA …

  10. Intron | genetics | Britannica

    …separating the exons are called introns. Following transcription, these coding sequences must be joined together before the mRNAs can function. The process of removal of the introns and …
