SOX2OT
SOX2 overlapping transcript (SOX2OT) is a long non-coding RNA, containing at least 5 exons. The SOX2 gene, an important regulator of neurogenesis, lies within one of the introns of SOX2OT. SOX2OT and SOX2DOT (an isoform of SOXOT transcribed from a distal highly conserved element) are expressed in zones of neurogenesis within the brain. It is associated with central nervous system structures in zebrafish and chicken embryonic brains, and is dynamically regulated during embryogenesis. SOX2OT may play a role in vertebrate development.

Intron
An intron is any nucleotide sequence within a gene that is not expressed or operative in the final RNA product. The word intron is derived from the term intragenic region, i.e., a region inside a gene. The term intron refers to both the DNA sequence within a gene and the corresponding RNA sequence in RNA transcripts. The non-intron sequences that become joined by this RNA processing to form the mature RNA are called exons.

Introns are found in the genes of most eukaryotes and many eukaryotic viruses, and they can be located in both protein-coding genes and genes that function as RNA (noncoding genes). There are four main types of introns: tRNA introns, group I introns, group II introns, and spliceosomal introns (see below). Introns are rare in Bacteria and Archaea (prokaryotes).
