Cistrons

/ˈsɪstrɒnz/ noun

Definition

Plural of cistron; multiple segments of DNA, each encoding a single functional protein unit.

Etymology

Regular plural of cistron, the genetic term coined by Benzer. Used to discuss multiple protein-coding genetic units within an organism's DNA.

Kelly Says

Finding multiple cistrons in one organism was like discovering that a single instruction manual could produce an entire factory's worth of different products—it completely changed how scientists understood genetic efficiency.
