intron

Preposition: of

• gene: Searching for annotations that overlap one another, for example, finding all genes that are in an intron of another gene.

Adjective modifier

• cryptic: The cryptic intron contains sequences similar to those required for recognition of normal plant introns.
• second: Most PEPc kinase genes contain a single conserved intron but solanaceous plants have one unusual PEPc kinase gene with a second intron.
• large: The detailed view at the bottom reveals that the FOXP2 gene contains a number of very small exons and one very large intron.

Modifies a noun

• sequence: Three other patients showed skipping of exon 5 caused by insertion of an Alu repeat into the preceding intron sequence.
• database: The intron database can be searched for patterns near the splice junctions.
• splice: The file consists of pairs of 5 ' and 3 ' intron splice sites.
• position: It has been shown that both the exon sequences and the intron positions of this gene are highly conserved over seed plant evolution.
• site: The file consists of pairs of 5 ' and 3 ' intron splice sites.

Noun used with modifier

• I: Explosive invasion of plant mitochondria by a group I intron.
• group: Explosive invasion of plant mitochondria by a group I intron.
