Hello,

An intersection search will only pull out sequence that have overlap between 
the query and target. The intersection form has options for you to define.

If exons are defined for an mRna sequence, them the match is limited to exons.

If the entire mRna genomic footprint is defined, then the match will bring in 
any sequence within the start and stop boundaries.

The sequences that contain introns are not intronic, they represent exons. The 
introns are the gaps in the sequence,

Thanks,
Jennifer
