Understanding DNA Splicing: The Role of the Spliceosome in Pre-mRNA Processing
DNA splicing is a crucial step in gene expression, transforming pre-mRNA into mature mRNA by removing introns and joining exons. This diagram illustrates the process within the nucleus, highlighting the role of the spliceosome in ensuring that only the coding regions of a gene are used for protein synthesis. This mechanism is essential for the accurate production of functional proteins that drive cellular activities.
