Aren't introns like pieces of code that have been commented out? But they also change the 3D conformation of the DNA itself, which changes access by transcript

Aren't introns like pieces of code that have been commented out?
But they also change the 3D conformation of the DNA itself, which changes access by transcription factors, etc.
- gus_massa 4y agoIt's more like someone during the night cut your magnetic tape in the middle of a txt file tape and glued a picture of a cat between the two parts. The picture of the cat has some special code in the extremes, so it automatically disappear when you open the txt file. There are some weird case, where the same txt file has two cat pictures, and sometimes instead of removing the two cats, the system removes also the texts between the cats.
