Spliceosome: How cells avoid errors when manufacturing mRNA
The spliceosome then converts them into mature, functional mRNA. To do this, this large protein-RNA complex, which is located in the cell nucleus, removes non-coding sections (introns) from mRNA ...

RNA Splicing: Introns, Exons and Spliceosome
What's the difference between mRNA and pre-mRNA? It's all about splicing of introns. See how one RNA sequence can exist in nearly 40,000 different forms. Next, the snRNPs U2 and U4/U6 appear to ...
