What (who) is exon - definition

ANY PART OF A GENE THAT WILL ENCODE A PART OF THE FINAL MATURE RNA PRODUCED BY THAT GENE, AFTER INTRONS HAVE BEEN REMOVED BY RNA SPLICING
Exonization; Exons; Expressed region; Expressed regions; MRNA exon; Exonic
  • Exons in a messenger RNA precursor (pre-mRNA). Exons can include both sequences that code for amino acids (red) and untranslated sequences (grey). Introns — those parts of the pre-mRNA that are not in the mRNA — (blue) are removed, and the exons are joined (spliced) to form the final functional mRNA. The 5′ and 3′ ends of the mRNA are marked to differentiate the two untranslated regions (grey).
  • Introns are removed and exons joined in the process of RNA splicing. RNAs could be [[mRNA]] or [[non-coding RNA]]

Exon         
An exon is any part of a gene that will form a part of the final mature RNA produced by that gene after introns have been removed by RNA splicing. The term exon refers to both the DNA sequence within a gene and to the corresponding sequence in RNA transcripts.

Wikipedia

Exon

An exon is any part of a gene that will form a part of the final mature RNA produced by that gene after introns have been removed by RNA splicing. The term exon refers to both the DNA sequence within a gene and to the corresponding sequence in RNA transcripts. In RNA splicing, introns are removed and exons are covalently joined to one another as part of generating the mature RNA. Just as the entire set of genes for a species constitutes the genome, the entire set of exons constitutes the exome.

Examples of use of exon
1. Jim Exon (D–Neb.). Under Michigan‘s Levin, he came to the intelligence committee to monitor satellite and geospatial agencies.
2. Exon died Friday of cancer at age 83. He made friends with rich and poor alike, with the powerful and the powerless,‘‘ said Bob Kerrey, who also served as governor and senator in Nebraska. They were all the same to him – just another human being with a range of strengths and a range of weaknesses.‘‘ Exon, known as the father of the modern Democratic Party in Nebraska, was governor from 1'71 through 1'78 and served in the U.S.
3. The Exon–Florio Amendment to the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1'88 expanded CFIUS‘s mandate to include not only the investigation but also the suspension or prohibition of mergers or acquisitions that "threaten to impair" U.S. national security.
4. In 1'88, amid growing concern about rising Japanese economic power, Congress passed the Exon–Florio amendment, which empowered the president to suspend or prohibit any foreign acquisition of a U.S. company deemed to threaten U.S. national security.
5. They are molecules worthy of the "Star Wars" cantina scene –– insulators, micro–RNAs, exon–splicing enhancers, 3‘–untranslated hairpins and other weird characters only now emerging from the shadows.
