Intron
From intervening sequence region; originally defined as a non-coding polynucleotide sequence that interrupts the coding sequences, the exons, of a gene. More recent evidence indicates that, in some cases, introns may also be translated, so a more cautious definition of an intron is merely a DNA sequence whose transcribed sequence is physically separated from that of exons during RNA processing.
