Descriptor intrones
Entry term(s) secuencias intervinientes
Scope note: Secuencias de ADN en los genes que se localizan entre los EXONES. Se transcriben junto con los exones, pero son eliminadas de la transcripción génica primaria durante el EMPALME DE ARN que lleva al ARN maduro. Algunos intrones codifican genes separados.

Scope note: Sequences of DNA in the genes that are located between the EXONS. They are transcribed along with the exons but are removed from the primary gene transcript by RNA SPLICING to leave mature RNA. Some introns code for separate genes.
