The last stage of RNA processing in eukaryotes, in which the transcripts of introns are excised through the action of small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNP).
The process by which introns are removed and exons are spliced together from an RNA transcript to produce an mRNA molecule.
the removal of noncoding portions of the RNA molecule after its initial sysnthesis.
A process that results in removal of introns and joining of exons in RNAs. See also spliceosome. ( Figure 11-16)
