Definitions from the WebIntron Description: An intron is a non-coding sequence of DNA found within a gene. Typically, introns are transcribed into RNA but are subsequently removed during the process of RNA splicing. They do not code for proteins but may have regulatory functions. Sample Sentences: - The scientist studied the intron sequences in the DNA to better understand gene expression. - During RNA splicing, the intron is excised from the pre-mRNA molecule. - Introns are commonly found in eukaryotic genes. Part of Speech: Noun Sense 1: - Definition: A non-coding sequence of DNA within a gene. - Example: The presence of introns complicates the process of gene expression. Part of Speech: Noun Sense 2: - Definition: An RNA sequence transcribed from an intron. - Example: The intron RNA is removed through a process called splicing. Part of Speech: Noun Sense 3: - Definition: A non-functional, non-coding section within a series of nucleotides. - Example: Researchers have discovered new information about the organization of introns. Part of Speech: Adjective Sense 1: - Definition: Pertaining to or characteristic of an intron. - Example: The intron region showed no signs of being involved in the translation of proteins. Part of Speech: Adjective Sense 2: - Definition: Local or specific to an intron. - Example: The intron sequences in different genes may vary significantly.
