Exon


The region of a gene that contains the code for producing protein. Each exon codes for a specific portion of the complete protein. Exons are separated by introns, long regions of DNA that have no apparent function. Exons are also called coding DNA.

Exon


An exon is the portion of a gene that codes for amino acids. In the cells of plants and animals, most gene sequences are broken up by one or more DNA sequences called introns. The parts of the gene sequence that are expressed in the protein are called exons, because they are expressed, while the parts of the gene sequence that are not expressed in [..]

Exon


A portion of a split gene that is included in the transcript of a gene and survives processing of the RNA to become part of the spliced messenger of a structural RNA. Exons generally occupy three distinct regions of genes that encode proteins. Exons in the first region are not translated into protein, but signal the beginning of RNA transcription a [..]

Exon


An exon is a stretch of protein coding sequence in eukaryotic genes. Exons are interrupted by intron or intervening sequences. Introns are cut out at the mRNA level and the exons spliced together to form a complete, uninterrupted coding sequence. This matured mRNA is recognized by ribosomes and used as a template to synthesize a corresponding amino [..]
