    Author : Anna Wettermark; [2020]
    Keywords : Splicing; Spliceosome; Histone modifications; epigenetics; histone methylation; histone acetylation; histone phosphorylation; histone ubiquitination;

    Abstract : Splicing is the process when introns gets removed and exons are spliced together. This is an important step to form a clean mRNA with no unnecessary sequences that could interrupt protein synthesis.
