Splicing twins: Unraveling the secrets of the minor spliceosome complex

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells differentiate between coding and non-coding genetic material is crucial to human health. A specialized molecular complex known as the minor spliceosome removes some rare but critical introns, and several genetic disorders are associated with its dysfunction.
