exon
This term is used exclusively within the specialized register of molecular biology and genetics. It describes the coding regions of a gene that remain in the final mature RNA after the process of splicing, contrasting directly with introns, which are the non-coding intervening sequences that are removed.
In a technical context, the term is typically used to describe the structural organization of a gene. Because exons are the functional units that determine the amino acid sequence of a protein, they are often discussed in relation to mutations or alternative splicing, where different combinations of exons are joined to create multiple protein isoforms from a single gene.
