Introns, gene

In searching for regulatory elements it is clear that particular attention must be given to intron sequences. The homeobox gene intron sequences are often well conserved, with the mouse and human Hox-4.4 introns and the mouse and human Hox-1.3 introns being almost identical (Renucci et al., 1992 Toumier-Lasserve et al., 1989). 

Intron DNA base sequence between exons, the protein-coding parts of a DNA sequence of a gene. Intronic sequences are transcribed into mRNA but they are spliced out of the RNA molecule before translation of RNA into protein (see also exon).

At the moment, more than 4,000 different miRNAs are identified or predicted in the genomes of viruses, plants and animals, of which some 700 may occur in man (Griffiths-Jones et al. 2006). Some mammalian miRNAs are located within gene introns and appear to be transcribed within the primary transcript, only to be released during RNA processing (Shivdasani 2006).
