2. Segments that occur between coding regions and are spliced out during RNA processing
Scientists discovered that intervening sequences can regulate gene expression.
Cientistas descobriram que as sequências intervenientes podem regular a expressão gênica.
This is highly specialized scientific terminology used primarily in molecular biology, genetics, and biochemistry contexts. The term is equally used in Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese scientific literature, reflecting the universal nature of molecular biology research.
