introns

We didn't use "fitness" criteria to elucidate possible function in introns and pseudogenes, we used the hypothesis of "interacting parts that contribute to the basic function".

De Facto Intelligent Design in Biology 2010

Another example showing the connection between disease and the organisation of the genetic material into exons and introns is chronic myeloic leukemia, a type of cancer of the blood.

Genes are themselves divided into exons the coding regions and spacers called introns.

They often are full of noncoding regions called introns, which are much less common in nematodes and fruit flies than in vertebrates.

The Panda's Thumb: August 2007 Archives 2007

In these cases, portions of the RNA molecule, called introns, are snipped out and the remaining segments, called exons, are spliced together before the RNA molecule leaves the cellular nucleus.

Molecular Genetics Waters, Ken 2007

Even the definition of a gene was and is in a bit of disarray—simple definitions that a gene constitutes a stretch of DNA that codes for a particular protein had been shaken by the discovery that the protein-coding regions of genes are interrupted by intervening DNA segments called introns.

Genes in us multicellular eukaryotes are characterized by a peculiar feature: the DNA sequence is interrupted by stretches called introns that are transcribed into mRNA, but then cut out so that their sequence is not represented in the final protein product.
