Examples of Using EXONS in a Sentence

• It works by removing all the introns (non-coding regions of RNA) and splicing back together exons (coding regions).
• Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by mutations and/or deletions in any of the 79 exons encoding the large dystrophin protein, which is essential for maintaining the muscle fiber's cell membrane integrity.
• The cause is mutations and deletions in any of the 79 exons encoding the large dystrophin protein, essential for maintaining the muscle fiber's cell membrane integrity.
• In humans, IL-10 is encoded by the IL10 gene, which is located on chromosome 1 and comprises five exons, IL-10 upregulation is also mediated by GPCRs, such as beta-2 adrenergic and type 2 cannabinoid receptors.
• Exon trapping is a molecular biology technique to identify potential exons in a fragment of eukaryote DNA of unknown intron-exon structure.
• Some intriguing changes in the gene structure of DSCAM have occurred in arthropods where several duplications of exons generated three large tandem arrays that are alternatively spliced.
• The N-terminus of PKG-I is encoded by two alternatively spliced exons that specify for the PKG-Iα and PKG-Iβ isoforms.
• The primary isoforms include APP695, APP751, and APP770, differing in their inclusion of certain exons, mainly exon 7 and 8.
• Each form of the disease is caused by the differences in the various mutations of the genome, in particular the codons on the 14 exons in the HEX B gene located within chromosome 5 (see figure bottom), leading to the differences in severities of the symptoms.
• Many regions of the genome (exons, introns, intergenic regions) normally contain trinucleotide sequences, or repeated sequences of one particular nucleotide, or sequences of 2, 4, 5 or 6 nucleotides.
• The MOG "primary nuclear transcript … is 15,561 nucleotides in length" and, for humans, it has eight exons which are "separated by seven introns".
• TdT adds N-nucleotides to the V, D, and J exons of the TCR and BCR genes during antibody gene recombination, enabling the phenomenon of junctional diversity.
• Most patients (type IA) have a mutation in one of the common exons (2 to 5), and have difficulties conjugating several additional substrates (several drugs and xenobiotics).
• Such processing is vital for the correct translation of eukaryotic genomes because the initial precursor mRNA produced by transcription often contains both exons (coding sequences) and introns (non-coding sequences); splicing removes the introns and links the exons directly, while the cap and tail facilitate the transport of the mRNA to a ribosome and protect it from molecular degradation.
• The genomic coding region of this protein consists of 13 kilobytes of genetic information with five exons that are split by four introns in the gene.
• The first exon corresponds to intron 30 and the remainder of the transcript corresponds to the last two exons of the gene.
• At least 42 mutations involving HFE introns and exons have been discovered, most of them in persons with hemochromatosis or their family members.
• Shorter PAX3 isoforms include mRNAs that skip exon 8 (PAX3g and PAX3h) and mRNAs containing 4 or 5 exons (PAX3a and PAX3b).
• Each of the remaining nine 5' exons may be spliced to the four common exons, resulting in nine proteins with different N-termini and identical C-termini.
• It is a process through which two or more exons from different genes can be brought together ectopically, or the same exon can be duplicated, to create a new exon-intron structure.
