Today we talked about how introns are removed by using a combination of small nuclear RNA (snRNA) and proteins called small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNP, a.k.a. "snurps").
Then we discussed alternative RNA splicing mechanisms:
- Alternative promoter selection
- Alternative tail site selection
- Alternative splicing by exon cassette selection
- Trans-splicing (rare)
On Friday: Molecular techniques!
