Insights into the Mechanism of Pre-mRNA Splicing of Tiny Introns from the Genome of a Giant Ciliate <i>Stentor coeruleus</i>

<i>Stentor coeruleus</i> is a ciliate known for its regenerative ability. Recent genome sequencing reveals that its spliceosomal introns are exceptionally small. We wondered whether the multimegadalton spliceosome has any unique characteristics for removal of the tiny introns. First, we...
