Pre-m<strong>RNA</strong> splicing• most eukaryotic protein-coding genes areinterrupted with introns• Intron (intervening sequence-IVS) does not code forprotein• Exon – protein coding sequence• Exons relatively short (1 nt)• <strong>Introns</strong> can be up to several 1,000 nt• <strong>Primary</strong> transcripts (pre-m<strong>RNA</strong>s) up to 100,000 nt
