What industry is Extron in?

Founded in 1972, Extron Company provides versatile and cost effective products for the agriculture industry and innovative solutions for the industrial system and equipment control markets.

What do you mean by intron and exon?

Introns are noncoding sections of an RNA transcript, or the DNA encoding it, that are spliced out before the RNA molecule is translated into a protein. The sections of DNA (or RNA) that code for proteins are called exons.

Are untranslated regions exons?

In protein-coding genes, the exons include both the protein-coding sequence and the 5′- and 3′-untranslated regions (UTR).

What is capping and tailing?

Adding of an unusual nucleotide methylguanosine triphosphate to the 5-end of heterogenous nucleae RNA hn RNA is called capping. Adding of Adenylate residues to the 3-end in a template independent manner is called tailing.

Why are introns called?

The word intron is derived from the term intragenic region, i.e. a region inside a gene. The term intron refers to both the DNA sequence within a gene and the corresponding RNA sequence in RNA transcripts. The non-intron sequences that become joined by this RNA processing to form the mature RNA are called exons.

What is the untranslated region of a gene?

The 5′ untranslated region (UTR) is a regulatory region of DNA situated at the 5′ end of all protein-coding genes that is transcribed into mRNA but not translated into protein. 5′UTRs contain various regulatory elements (Fig. 1b) and play a major role in the control of translation initiation.
