DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2021.04.050
Abstract: Spliceosomal introns interrupt nuclear genes and are removed from RNA transcripts ("spliced") by machinery called spliceosomes. Although the vast majority of spliceosomal introns are removed by the so-called major (or "U2") spliceosome, diverse eukaryotes also… read more here.
