Domestication of self-splicing introns during eukaryogenesis: the rise of the complex spliceosomal machinery
Abstract ᅟ The spliceosome is a eukaryote-specific complex that is essential for the removal of introns from pre-mRNA. It consists of five small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) and over a hundred proteins, making it one of the most complex molecular machineries. Most of this complexity has emerged during euka...
