What is another word for RNA Splicing?
Pronunciation: [ˌɑːɹˌɛnˈe͡ɪ splˈa͡ɪsɪŋ] (IPA) 
RNA splicing is a crucial process in gene expression that occurs in eukaryotic cells. It involves the removal of introns from a pre-mRNA sequence and the ligation of exons to form a mature mRNA transcript. Synonyms for RNA splicing include pre-mRNA processing, mRNA maturation, and mRNA splicing. Alternative splicing, a variation of the process that allows for multiple protein isoforms to be generated from a single gene, can also be referred to as differential splicing. Another term that may be used is RNA editing, which refers to the modification of nucleotides within the mRNA sequence. Collectively, these terms describe the complex and highly regulated mechanisms by which eukaryotic cells refine and control gene expression.
