spliceosomal complex

The spliceosomal complex is a biological machine inside cells that processes genetic information. When DNA is transcribed into RNA, it contains both useful instructions and extra, non-essential parts called introns. The spliceosome removes these introns and stitches together the remaining pieces, called exons, to produce a mature messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. This mature mRNA then guides protein synthesis. The spliceosome is made up of proteins and small RNA molecules that work together precisely, ensuring genes are accurately edited and functional, which is essential for proper cell function and health.
