Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid is often abbreviated as
gDNA. The
genome of an organism (encoded by
gDNA) is the biological information of heredity which is passed from one generation of organism to the next. That genome is transcribed to produce
RNAs, which are necessary for the function of the organism. Some RNA is processed by splicing to remove
introns, leaving the
exons in the mature messenger RNA (
mRNA). The mature mRNA may then be translated by the
ribosome into
protein.
