Phylogenetic comparison and splice site conservation of eukaryotic U1 snRNP-specific U1-70K gene family
Abstract Eukaryotic cells can expand their coding ability by using their splicing machinery, spliceosome, to process precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) into mature messenger RNA. The mega-macromolecular spliceosome contains multiple subcomplexes, referred to as small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs). Amon...
