1. (molecular biology) A segment of DNA or RNA that is under the control of a single autonomous promotor. A single scripton may encode multiple cistrons involving separate terminators.

Example Sentences

Approximately by 10-15 min after infection, the protein tof turns on the transcription of the scripton L2.

In the biological dose range, the major effects of UV irradiation on transcription are results of and are in direct correlation to the residual scripton length.

That segment of DNA, which is bounded on the codogenic strand by a promotor and in the 5' direction from the promotor by a terminator, defines a scripton. A scripton beginning with a given promotor may vary in length through activation or inactivation of differently located terminators.

The reader has the choice to read the whole scripton or only parts of it before following a link. As a consequence, scriptons are not necessarily identical to what readers actually read, but what an ideal reader would read by strictly following the linear structure of the textual output.
