  1. Exon - Wikipedia

    An exon is any part of a gene that will form a part of the final mature RNA produced by that gene after introns have been removed by RNA splicing. The term exon refers to both the DNA …

  2. Exon - National Human Genome Research Institute

    3 days ago · An exon is a region of the genome that ends up within an mRNA molecule. Some exons are coding, in that they contain information for making a protein, whereas others are …

  3. Exon - Definition, Structure and Function | Biology Dictionary

    Aug 6, 2017 · An exon is a coding region of a gene that contains the information required to encode a protein. In eukaryotes, genes are made up of coding exons interspersed with non …

  4. Exon – Definition, Types, Structure, Functions - Biology Notes Online

    May 31, 2024 · Discover the definition, types, structure, and functions of exons in this comprehensive guide. Exons, the coding regions of genes, play a vital role in protein synthesis …

  5. Introns vs Exons- Definition, 12 Major Differences, Examples

    Jan 19, 2022 · Exons are protein-coding DNA sequences that require the necessary codons or information necessary for protein synthesis. The term ‘exon’ represents the expressed region …

  6. Exons And Introns: Functions and Types - Microbe Online

    Exons are essential components of genes that encode the information necessary for protein synthesis and function. They not only determine the structure and function of proteins but also …

  7. Definition of exon - NCI Dictionary of Genetics Terms - NCI

    The sequence of DNA that is present in the final, mature messenger RNA transcript. Most exons code for amino acids, which link together to form a protein.

  8. Unveiling the Molecular Mysteries: What Exactly is an Exon?

    Jun 23, 2025 · Exons are the coding regions of a gene that are translated into protein. They are parts of a gene that encode a part of the final mature RNA after introns have been removed by …

  9. exon / exons | Learn Science at Scitable - Nature

    Exons are coding sections of an RNA transcript, or the DNA encoding it, that are translated into protein. Exons can be separated by intervening sections of DNA that do not code for proteins,...

  10. The human genome contains over a million autonomous exons

    We obtained ∼1.25 million trapped exons, including most known mRNA and well-annotated lncRNA internal exons, demonstrating that human exons are predominantly autonomous. …
