Coding Dna (Noun)
Meaning
Sequence of a gene's DNA that transcribes into protein structures; "exons are interspersed with introns".
Classification
Nouns denoting substances.
Examples
- The coding DNA sequence of the gene was crucial in determining the structure and function of the resulting protein.
- Coding DNA is the portion of a gene that contains the instructions for making a protein, and it is typically composed of exons.
- Researchers focused on understanding the relationship between coding DNA sequences and the amino acid sequences of the resulting proteins.
- Introns and exons are found within the DNA sequence of a gene, but only the exons contain the coding DNA that is used to make proteins.
- The process of splicing removes the introns from the RNA transcript, leaving only the coding DNA sequences to be translated into protein.
