Term: intron
Gramatical category: s
Definition: Intervening sequences that are present in the genes of eukaryotes and are removed from the RNA transcript shortly after transcription.
Context: After discarding those questionable introns that do not contain correct splice sites, the final database contained 17 102 introns, 21 019 exons and 2903 independent or quasi-independent genes.
Expression: Intron sequence
Intron and exon
Weighting mark: nor
