intron

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.I03141
An intervening section of @D01597@ occuring almost exclusively within a eukaryotic @G02604@ but which is not translated to amino acid sequences in the gene product. The introns are removed from the premature @M03857@ through a process called @S05885@ to form an active @M03857@.
