Exon Trapping

Exon trapping (also known as exon trapping or splicing) is a technique used in genetics research to identify and analyze the location, sequence, and expression of exons in a genome. Exons are the coding DNA sequences found in most genes, and these exons contain the information needed to produce proteins. By using exon trapping, scientists can study the structure and function of genes, as well as the regulation of gene expression. Exon trapping has applications in a wide variety of fields including gene therapy, medical diagnostics, and drug discovery.
