Exons and introns Beta

Got questions? Feel free to ask Ada, our training AI assistant.

The exons view provides information about specific exons and introns (Figure 16). It may be useful for selecting sequence to design primers.

Click on ‘configure this page’ to add/hide the variant highlighting on the sequence.

Watch the video below to learn how you can retrieve exon and intron sequences using the Ensembl genome browser (Video 10).
