Gene with introns and exons

Summary[edit]

Description
English: This drawing of a typical gene shows that it is preceded by a promoter and that the gene itself consists of exons and introns. This entire gene is transcribed into a pre-RNA that is spliced by cutting away the introns. The exons thus form the actual codifying DNA. The introns, which make up a large part of the coding genes, are considered junk DNA.
Nederlands: Deze tekening van een typisch gen laat zien dat er zich voor het gen een promotor bevindt en dat het gen zelf bestaat uit exons en introns. Dit hele gen wordt getranscribeerd in een pre-mRNA dat gespliced wordt door het wegknippen van de introns. De exons vormen zodoende het werkelijke codificerende DNA. De introns, die een groot deel uitmaken van de coderende genen, worden als junk-DNA beschouwd.
